Lunch on April 9 (Bendytimed)
Vernique showed up for lunch in a fantastic dress with a large shoulder bag containing the following:
The Collected Poetry of Lord Byron
The Collected Works of William Shakespeare
Her mother's Spring and Summer catalogs

"Hey there," she said smiling.

	"So, what do you think it would take for me to begin on this path?" he asks. "Will I need to apprentice under someone?" Eli asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're generally called 'internships' these days, not apprenticeships. We show Mom and her people some of your sketches so far, and they'll take you from there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I will make sure to put all of my best work forward." Eli says, already planning out which sketches he will use. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just some designing once everyone has fallen asleep. Possibly even some television. Mr. Trump and I sometimes have coffee, but I doubt he will around this evening." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles. "I was wondering if you might like me with you tonight. Eli, I will always value your friendship and your company, whatever else we do. But just because you and I have other options now is no reason we can't be on each other's rotation, unless you would prefer not. It's entirely your choice." She smiles.

"Oh. Oh." Eli says, finally understanding Vernique's meaning. He honestly had not expected her to suggest such things, after her joining to Svalin. He understood that their relationship was not intimate, but he did not know what it allowed and did not allow.

"I am flattered you still think of me that way, Vernique. I did not realize you did. However, I need to be honest with you. I have been spending more time with Luna recently, and we are attending this royal wedding together at the end of the month.

In the interest of being fair to you both, I cannot take you to my bed /and/ be close with her as well. It would be selfish of me, disrespectful to both of you, and that is the last thing I want." Eli says.

	"Very good reasoning," Vernique says with a sigh and a smile. "I'm proud of you, and I wish you both the best." Another sigh, exaggerated this time. "Hmm. No you. No Hal now that he's my brother-in-law. Ah well. I will survive." And the food comes, and she eats happily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do not be modest, Vernique. Men would give their kingdoms to be with you. I believe I remember a few in the Hyborean age saying just that during our stay." Eli grins as the food arrives. "No others have caught your eye recently?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She laughs. "They did, didn't they? Well, I met a decent prospect back in February, but we haven't really had a chance to rendezvous. And with so much time in Asgard, well, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-05-04 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"How often are you required to go to Asgard?" Eli asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)
