GK was nervous. They had of brushed against the subject before, but now...well, he didn't want to wait anymore. "So, Eli.... are you okay with getting lunch with Zoe?"

	Deeply involved in a comic book, Eli didn't realize he was being spoken to for a moment. He blinked and lifted up his head to stare at the darling blond before saying, "Sure... who's paying?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"The guy with the paying job and the trust fund," GK says, grinning. He leans over and kisses Eli on the cheek. "It's going to be great for you two to finally meet each other. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Works for me!" he says cheerfully. There's a stretching of wings and he puts the comic book down carefully. "Where too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That little cafe a couple blocks off with the really great chicken and potatoes stuff. I asked her to meet us there." And as they get ready and head out. "I've told her about you some, but not much details." They won't be long getting there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoe arrived early and took a booth on the side. She had a glass of iced tea while she waited. GK was keen on this meeting and she resolved to /try/ and keep it from getting messy. She even wore clothes GK put in her closet. That showed she was trying, right? And...wow, those really /were/ feathers... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And GK grins. "There she is," he says nodding and picking up the pace. "Hey, Zoe! You look great!" Yes, the clothes did not go unnoticed.

"Eli, my friend Zoe Torres. Zoe, my boyfriend, Eli Coyne." Speaking of looking great, there may be a starry-eyed look of the 'isn't he gorgeous?' variety, but the difference between that and normal GK grinning is relatively subtler than in some.

	Eli looks the woman over curiously wondering what sort of person GK would consider to be his best friend ever. "Hi," he says, offering a hand even. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-07-27 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Zoe didn't shake hands easily. Too many things could happen when you had one hand occupied. But she was trying to make a sane impression and offered hers as well after a moment's hesitation. She could shoot with either hand equally well, anyway. "Hi. Nice to meet you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK looks much more cheerful than a simple handshake's going off well might seem to warrant, but everything is going okay! He slides into the booth, giving Eli plenty of room to follow. "So, what do you two want? On me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-07-27 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"Less clothes," he says cheerfully picking up the menu. He says it in a complete and utter deadpan with a perfect poker face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-07-27 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"That's six blocks over," Zoe responded in all seriousness. "And the house provides the poles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-07-27 03:57 am UTC (link)
	GK giggles in a way that would give no help to any outsiders trying to guess his gender. "You can tough it out for a while, right?" He asks Eli, canting his head a little. He gestures to the waitress and orders more tea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-07-27 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I suppose I can." He fluffs his feathers and bops GK gently on the shoulder with a wing. "Maybe later we can go see the place Zoe suggested." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-07-27 04:15 am UTC (link)
	"He'd tell the girls they're wearing the wrong colors and far too much body glitter." She took a sip of her iced tea, not missing the gentle bop. The wings were kind of fascinating, there was no denying it. GK was practically oozing MINE vibes. "Did GK rework your wardrobe, too?" she asked Eli. "My mom thinks he worked miracles in mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-07-27 04:20 am UTC (link)
	He rolls his eyes at Eli. "They probably pass around the Tacky Flamingo lipstick, too." GK shudders, then, "Eli didn't have a lot of unflattering things to get rid of, so it was a matter of getting him some shirts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-07-27 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"I have no idea what tacky flamingo lipstick is and that's not why I would go to such a place." Eli admits this with a bright smile. "I don't think I had any unflattering things. He should get a job doing makeovers professionally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-07-27 04:32 am UTC (link)
	"He probably should. Making the world easy to look at one, one makeover at a time." Zoe smiled. "I looked for the lipstick to see if it was really so bad. Still can't find it. I think he destroyed every tube in twelve blocks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My family has a tradition of public service," GK says placidly in the face of Zoe's theory. "And yeah, I've got a few guesses what you'd do there, Eli. But I'm totally the jealous type, and cannot guarantee that I wouldn't cheat in the event of a catfight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	An evil grin forms on his face. "Oh really?" he asks, drawing out the word 'really'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-07-28 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"The point being we don't need to be anywhere that's a public hormones-fest," GK clarifies, trying to look put-upon, but... gosh, that smile.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be six blocks in the other direction. Three knocks on the door, and the password is Ben Franklin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-07-28 06:49 am UTC (link)
	"That is not helpful. Oh goodness, I'd probably blind myself. Nothing but 'SEX!' in huge gold letters in any direction." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am getting all sorts of terrible ideas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Put 'em on hold until after lunch," Zoe said, unsuccessfully hiding a smile. At least this guy had a sense of humor. Weird one, but it was there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK holds his menu in the best attempt at a minor pseudo-hemph he can manage. "Yes. Let's. I'm getting the chicken. What about you two?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
