Dinner and People Watching (Friday Night)
Anya was running on time for a change. At promptly 5:45 she was downstairs in the foyer waiting for Iason. She was dressed in a little black dress, heels and her hair done. It had only taken her an hour to get ready, which for her had to be some sort of record.

They had 6:30 reservations at Mesa Grill. Six would have been difficult to make and they weren't in a rush. Mesa Grill should be extremely busy, it was a Friday night and dinner time, and would be a great opportunity for Iason to watch humans. Anya had to drop the Stark and Romanov names to even get a reservation.

She double checked her appearance. She wasn't nervous, she just knew that there would be paparazzi and she always wanted to look her best.

She waited patiently for Iason.

"I'd love to hear you play sometime. That's part of why I worked at it for so long... I love music, I'm just terrible at it. I have my father's senses, or something approaching them, so good music, nice textures... are really appreciated. I've been thinking of trying my hand at cooking once I learn what a few more things taste like too. Really, I'd honestly like to try a lot of things out and see what 'takes'. Given the amount of eventual time they have to look forward to, and the number of things they don't have to do, its fair to say that a lot of Eternals collect hobbies."

	"I'd love to play for you, but I'm sorry I can't help with the cooking. Jarvis would be the perfect person to help you on that front." She took a sip of her water. Was it really warm in here? "There's a lot of things to choose from. Everything from painting to bird watching to surfing. Sometimes the hardest part is finding something you like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I've been going through cookie recipes and trying the ingredients to figure out about what proportion of what he puts in his cookies." he admits. "Same with a few other dishes, I hate to disturb him, he seems so busy."
He takes a sip from his water, studying her idly over the rim of the glass.
"Ok, so I think I'd need some ornithology to appreciate bird watching. I've done a little classical painting and some nudes. What's surfing?"

"I think at this point Jarvis would be delighted to be able to teach someone how to cook. He has almost lost all hope for us young ones."

She smiled when she caught him looking at her. There was also the blushing, but that was a given tonight.

"Surfing is a sport. It involves a surfboard, which used to be made of wood but is now made of modern materials, and standing on it while riding waves on the ocean. The trick is to stay on the board. I've tried it a few times and it was a lot of fun, even if I wasn't very good at it."

	"That does sound like fun, but challenging. Maybe you could show me this sometime? What else do you like to do? Honestly, like I said, I'd like to try a lot of things while I'm here, hopefully for a long time." He considers her original statement, then nods. "And if you think so, I'll approach him about it. I'm finding I'm liking eating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It is," she said to both things. "I can, but like I said I'm not very good. Though the instructors were cute so it wasn't all bad. Me? I play piano, beat up bad guys, write computer code, torment my older brother, shop, dance, beat up bad guys and work as much as I can." Yeah, there was no hope for her to be a normal teenager.

She nodded. "Yes, eating is definitely nice. There's such a wide variety of foods that one could never get bored."

	"Hmm, well, if cute instructors is what it takes to enjoy surfing, you'll definitely have to teach me." he replies casually before another sip from his glass, trying not to take it too seriously, but a little flirting is fun. "Beating up bad guys, hopefully, I can handle. What kind of dance?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was definitely hot in here and her face had to be the brightest shade of red possible.

"I will try to teach you. I'm better at falling off than actual surfing."

She sipped some water.

"I took ballet and jazz when I was younger, but I like dancing out at clubs." When she got a chance to go out. Which lately hasn't been much. Between school, work and the Avengers, her free time was pretty limited.

He resists briefly, but the reactions are fun, and besides, she really is cute. "If you fall off, am I allowed to catch you?"

He pauses a few seconds, another sip from his glass before continuing. "I'm familiar with the concept of clubs, obviously, but every culture's are different. What kind of dancing is done at clubs here? I'm familiar with a fair number of dances, but always enjoy learning new ones."

	"Sure," she answered. "It depends on the club, I suppose. Jazz clubs are good for swing and more traditional dancing while modern clubs are good for freeform dancing. I love to dance and don't care what kind of club it is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-25 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Freeform dancing? That's a relatively new one on me. Show me sometime? Do these clubs require any special dress code?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-25 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Depends on the club and what type it is. There are some we could go to like this, and there are others...well we'd be way overdressed." The waiter arrived with their appetizers and Anya thanked him and gave him a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-26 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Ok, fair enough. Which is your favorite? The type where we'd fit in, or where we'd be overdressed? And would you mind showing me? I'd love to try it." he asks, once the waitress wanders off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-26 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	"My favorite? Hrm. That's a tough one. I love dancing in general, but I love events where I can get dressed up and dance. My mother's coronation ball was a blast." She smiled. "I'd love to show you. Any time you want to go, just give me a yell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-26 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	"I think a yell would be inappropriate in here." Yes, he's joking. "Honestly though, any time you feel like it. I don't get tired, has all sorts of advantages, so I'd go out tonight if it was all up to me. I don't want to exhaust you or your hospitality though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-26 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed. Having a sense of humor was a good thing. Now if she could only get her mother to discover one. He didn't get tired. Oh her mind was going in very naughty places. "We can go out after dinner. It's Friday night, I don't have school tomorrow and I don't sleep much anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-26 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	If his mind has followed into naughty places, his expression doesn't show it. He seems earnest enough, and just having fun. "Sounds good to me. Just don't let me keep you up all night. When you need to go, let me know. Otherwise, anything you want to do or show me, I'm sure I'll enjoy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh you can keep me up all night or should I say... Bad brain! She was so going to need a cold shower by the end of the night. Did he put off pheromones as well? "I pull all-nighters a lot. One more won't hurt." She would so be biting a knuckle right now if it wouldn't give her thoughts away.

"I know the perfect place," she said. Now all they had to do was get through the rest of dinner.

As Starfox and Sersi have proven, even though they're not flesh and blood, the Eternals can definitely do something, or perhaps do so when attracted to someone. Its hard to say if its intentional, or as involuntary for them. Thankfully, he's not Starfox, and all indications are he's not working hard at seducing anyone, too responsible for that - but he's most assuredly flirting, and has definitely looked a time or three.

"Well, I'm sure most clubs have a time they close, right? Either way, all yours." Difficult to say if his comments are intentionally that open-ended to interpretation or not.
And they're just getting through appetizers.
