Dinner Conversation
Qamar smiles across the table at Sammy as the waitress takes the menus.

"Thanks for coming, Sammy. I'm... glad my... friend didn't scare you off."

	Sammy smiles back. "Was she trying to scare me off? If so, she needs to work on her technique." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He shrugs. "She's a bit of a mystery, even to me," he admits. "I don't think it was her attempt, but I'll be the first to admit that she's not the most social." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"Social is not a requirement, though it can make things easier between...coworkers. It's obvious you're important to her. I had to promise not to let anything happen to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles at her. "I appreciate that. I'd say I can take care of myself, but, well, getting shot kinda ruined any delusions I had about my skills." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 05:57 am UTC (link)
	"I don't like it much myself, not a big fan of pain." She fiddles with the edge of her napkin. "How much did she tell you about the extra work on the side we do?" In other words, did Nightingale tell Qamar about the Young Avengers' team? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 06:06 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "A bit. I've done some tech support for her, so she keeps me in the loop on her work." He takes a sip of his water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 06:14 am UTC (link)
	"That's what she said when I returned her property to her. You might want to stop handing your jacket over to strange half naked girls until you gets some zippers for your pockets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 06:19 am UTC (link)
	He gives her a grin. "You'd rather I leave said strange half-naked girls unclothed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 06:25 am UTC (link)
	She laughs. "You said it, not me. Dad appreciated your sacrifice, but he might suggest you wear a trench coat next time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 06:29 am UTC (link)
	"I'm from Egypt," he replies. "Trench coats aren't exactly common fashion choices." He takes another sip from his water. "Besides, it was the least I could do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 06:37 am UTC (link)
	She rubs the still healing scar on her shoulder. All the talk about half naked makes the souvenir from their most recent battle itch under the fabric of her shirt. "What have you been up to since then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 06:43 am UTC (link)
	He shrugs. "Classes. Plus... I've been doing more tech support, and... working on things for my friend to help her out with her... primary job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 06:55 am UTC (link)
	"I asked Dad to have his tech people do something with handcuffs for me. It actually made him wonder for a second why I was playing with handcuffs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 06:57 am UTC (link)
	The innuendo almost makes him choke, but his technical mind's curiosity wins out. "What did you have in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It's okay to laugh! If she can't dazzle, she can amuse.

"I need a better edge if I don't want to take the...uh, permanent option." Can we say assassin as a bad career choice? "I've had luck with handcuffs against non-powered opponents, but I need something for the other type. I wanted handcuffs that'll give me options. Mini-dampening fields, for instance. Something that'll deliver an electrical shock, maybe."

	"What about a power-dampening set?" he asks quietly, glancing around to be sure they're not being overheard. "I might be able to arrange something along those lines..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 07:18 am UTC (link)
	"Are you trying to get me into trouble with your friend?" She playfully shakes a finger at him. "But that's the general idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 07:24 am UTC (link)
	He smiles at her. "She won't mind," he tells her. "You'd be using it for justice. And that's what matters to her. It's sort of a... religious imperative." He shrugs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"I told her I'm not interested in causing problems, so if it does say something. Don't make me a liar. That'll get you a personal demonstration of my nifty talent with the handcuffs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 07:41 am UTC (link)
	His eyebrows raise at that. "Is that a promise?" he says with a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 07:47 am UTC (link)
	"Hrm...if I say yes, I'd be that girl every mother warns her son about, and if I say no I could be passing up a chance to see which one of us blushes first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 07:52 am UTC (link)
	He smiles at her. "I don't show blushing as easily," Qamar points out. "But that's not to discourage trying... it's just to point out you've got a challenge." He leans forward conspiratorially. "So, what do you think... costumed and powered supervillains, mundane criminals, or a natural disaster? Which one will interrupt us tonight?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 08:13 am UTC (link)
	"I love a challenge." She leans forward to whisper back. "I'm hoping for a natural disaster. The other two categories are ruining our social lives." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-08-02 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	"You know," he replies, "...we could dare to hope... that nothing happens. That we have a normal, quiet, non-interrupted-by-horrible-events, date." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-02 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	"You hope for the best. I'll stick close to get us out of trouble if we can't make it through the evening on hope alone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
