Night on the town
He had mentioned wanting to spend a night out with her. Something a little nicer and he planned on taking her dancing too. He had other things in mind but he wasn't going to say anything about that.

He had kept a few things close to his chest so to speak and really didn't want to say why he still had a slightly healing bruise on the underside of his jaw still. He wasn't going to say why until after he actually did propose. She'd probably yell a bit at him for going to meet her parents without him but he knew she couldn't be too upset. Or wouldn't.

He's nervous. He checks to see if his tie is still straight while he waits for Cat. He really better not screw this up.

	Okay, this was gettin' her nervous too. What was going through his head. "Looks like you had good taste. Course, I knew that already." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I heard they have good pie," he says very seriously. He does like pie! Of course that wasn't why he picked this place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yeah?" she asked. "Pie's always good. Better save room for dessert then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smirks faintly finally calming himself a little bit. It's a little bit worse for him when he gives his name to the woman in charge of reservations. She looks a little too amused because she knows what Mark is planning. Thank God she doesn't give him a second look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hmm. Just what had that been? Cat was clever enough, but not necessarily much of a detective. "If I didn't know better," she said, "I'd swear you was up to something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-03-19 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Me?" His eyes spark with a hint of mischief. "No. Not really." He has to get down on one knee. Just not quite yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-03-19 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, he was up to somethin'. She just didn't know what. "Well, if you say so..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He won't say a word about his plans. A waiter shows them to their table. The place is.... really nice. He's glad this is a new tie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely nice digs, Marky," Cat told him. "Been too long since we got a nice night out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-03-20 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"Right. Drinks," he says looking for a good beer. He's not a wine man. "Anything special you want?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-03-20 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"You know me," she said. "Beer me up and I'll be doin' fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-03-20 01:01 am UTC (link)
	"They have some good labels," he says letting her have the beer list. "These are fantastic. I've had some of them." Why wouldn't Mark pick a place with good beer? He is BEER HOUND, hear him roar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-03-20 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	Cat looks over the list, picking out one of the better ones in her opinion. She wasn't exactly classy, but she could order beer in about thirty languages and was pretty dang good at figuring out which ones were good. "...I'm thinkin' I could live here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-03-23 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	Mark is pleased with this. He had wanted them to have a good time. "I'm glad you like this place." He smiles a bit more when they have the chance to place their orders as far as beer goes. Beer is godly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-03-23 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I like anywhere you are," Cat told him. "'course, beer helps too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-03-23 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	That has him just laugh softly then switch to almost dead serious. "I love you." He doesn't say that often but damn does he mean it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-03-23 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Cat reached over and gave his hand a squeeze. "Love you too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-03-24 12:38 am UTC (link)
	He almost grabs the box. He holds off because he can wait until they have food in front of them. It will be at least twenty or thirty more minutes. He can wait that long. Right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-03-24 01:05 am UTC (link)
	Cat grinned. Marky was twitchy tonight... but she sure did love him. Yup. Things were goin' pretty darn good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He relaxes again when their drinks come. Beer for a beer hound like him is an excellent thing. He also is very pleased with the excellent steaks this place has to offer.

He likes his meat.

So he orders something that sounds good. He is glad that once their orders are placed this place is very prompt.

Except it keeps him from getting nervous again. Drat. He just loves being nervous.

	Cat's a meat and potatoes girl herself, so it all works out very nicely indeed. Just why is that boy so nervous...? "Beer's good," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2012-03-24 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Well it should be easy to guess right now. He fiddles with his coat then reaches in and pulls out a small box and gets up. Yup. He's going to get down on one knee. "Cat..." He begins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2012-03-24 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Oh, oh, God...! He was... he was...! Cat let out a gasp. "Oh, Mark..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Before another word could be exchanged between them, the entire entrance of the restaurant suddenly exploded, debris flying from a burst of green flame. A hand made or rock with green flamelike energy coursing between the cracks crept into the building, followed by a massive rocklike giant. Its footsteps caused the ground to shake as it scanned the room with an intelligence in its eyes.

	Mark had gotten all hopeful looking. Then suddenly? Monster. He shoots it the dirtiest look ever. "Looks like we'll have to take care of this before I get an answer," he says in a dry tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
