Oh that gave Cara an idea. “Maybe a little but I think it is more those things are a part of us already and help make us good at our jobs. So we wonna count that.” She squeezed his hand with a grin, “But I suppose I shoulda added readin’. I donna really do that for fun though, more because it’s relaxin’.” She gaze flowed over him from the other side of the table, “Sometimes, bad boys make the best good guys.”

Cara

Mardusk shook his head slightly and smiled. “Now now.. careful there. You give me looks like that while sayin’ things like that… I might start to think you like me just a little bit.” and he chuckled.

Mardusk

Cara leaned forward on one arm, her other hand still in his, a wickedly playful look on her face. Careful? Oh yeah she’d be careful, but sometimes the risk was worth it. And she felt like Gravel was worth the risk. “Now here I thought ya were observant, Gravel. If it’s just a ‘might’ let me clear that up for ya. I like you.”

Cara

Mardusk leaned forward, his height putting his face inches from hers. He looked at her for a long, drawn out moment and then grinned and said “Oh yeah? Prove it, Red…”

Mardusk

The look on her face turned serious. She’d gotten involved once, way too fast, and had gotten hurt. It showed on in her eyes, but it was fleeting. She stared right back at him, her voice soft, “I already did, I’m here aren’t I?” She kissed him then, sure but gently, for a long still moment, and then pulled back just a hair’s breath.

Cara

Mardusk smiled and said “Ok… I’ll take that as proof… for now.” and he leaned forward, gave her a quick peck, and then sat back. “But I reserve the right to resist that evidence numerous times in the future.” and he grinned and winked.

Mardusk

Cara blushed furiously when he kissed her and then teased her, but it relaxed her too and she grinned. “Ya donna have to resist, if you didna like it, we donna have to repeat the experience.” Then she laughed, the sound teasing. She pushed the plate out of the way. “So you planned this date, what’s next? Or are we gonna just stare at each other across the table?” And then she proceeded to prop chin in hand and do exactly that.

Cara

Mardusk smiled and said “Staring at you could rapidly become my favorite hobby, ain’t gonna lie.” with a tone that was partially teasing, mostly sincere. “As for whats next? I thought a walk might be in order. Tour of the Arboretum? We only breezed through it before. And we skipped the Observation deck because I didn’t know how your stomach would handle it. We can do either or both or neither. I’m open.”

Mardusk

“I’m up for both, as long as your leading.” She laughed but was totally serious. She’d gotten lost enough in the last two days. She stood up, walking around the table towards the door before realizing they were still holding hands. She paused and look at him with a grin and then walked out the door just before him.
