But It's My Day Off!
It pained him to admit it, but Vincent had been somewhat remiss lately. In spite of their decision to date one another exclusively, he'd hardly been able to make any time for Asleif. It wasn't as if she'd been hounding him for it, as she seemed thoroughly absorbed in her world travels, but it bothered him, and rightfully so.

A painstakingly thorough clearing of his schedule for a day had been arranged, along with putting together an itinerary of things to do together. He'd even gone the extra mile and asked MacKenzie the favor of being on standby for any F4 related emergencies in his stead (with a caveat that if magic was involved, he should be contacted immediately).

And so, crafting the most precise veil he knew how to, he will slip up behind the object of his affections as she thinks she is off and alone.

"My lady." Comes a whisper over her shoulder, as he manages to keep the tone soft in spite of his grin.

Vincent grins. "You're living in New York? You should have told me sooner." He definitely seems pleased with this news.

He nods to her. "I'm glad you're keeping close to your siblings still."

As they wait for the waitress, a woman, closer to Asleif's age than Vincent's, saunters over, wearing a bikini top and a wrap of some sort. She exchanges a few words with Vincent in Portuguese, before handing him a piece of paper, then sauntering off again with a glance back over her shoulder.

Vincent seems to hold a mixture of stunned and annoyed.

	Asleif didn't need to speak the language to understand what had just gone on. Her grey eyes narrowed, her lips moving silently in the casting of a spell. Her fingers began to trace lines in the air. Let her see what it was like as a poodle... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent reaches out and catches her hand with his own, tilting his head at her with a disapproving gaze, as he immolates the paper with his other hand. "Asleif..." He says it much in the same tone as he heard from Kristoff, regarding... well, many things. "It's a cultural thing. The women here are... forward." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif glares at him for a moment, staring at his hand around hers. "Hmph. I suppose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent's expression softens, worrying he came off as patronizing.

"I'm sorry... I just wanted a day where we didn't have to worry about anything. You'll notice I have no interest in spending time with any other woman." He brushes the ashes off the edge of the table.

"You're much more beautiful, anyway." He gives her a smile. Yes, it's token flattery, but it's still sincere.

	She smiles for a moment. "Forgive me," she said. "I have been known to be a bit... possessive and jealous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He kisses her hand, then lowers both their hands to the table, still holding hers. "I've done worse, believe me." Breakfast arrives soon enough, without further incident. "Thank you for your tolerance today. I know it hasn't been peaceful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It has certainly been... interesting," Asleif admitted. "Though I do not think anything will remove the image of the turtle and moth kissing from my brain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Things are different for monsters." He pauses. "I find myself saying to Fenris and Sleipnir's blood relation." He laughs teasingly, biting into a papaya. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif bit into one as well, her tongue teasing a few stray drops of juice from her lips. "Yes, well, they typically are not invited to the reunions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Exactly the reaction she had hoped for. "Nothing of any significance," she assured him. She carefully placed a finger in her mouth, removing the last traces of fruit and juice from it as she drew it out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Rio de Janeiro quitethecharmer 2011-07-27 12:56 am UTC (link)
	This time he was ready for it. He simply smirks appreciatively at her and sips his own juice. "What do you want to do today? Name it, and I'll find it for us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know," Asleif reflected, "I have never actually been to a beach? We had one, of course, at the compound, but I spend no time upon it" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins. "Now that, my lady, presents a delightful option for the day." He chews his food slowly, looking her over quite thoroughly, clearly forming an image of something most pleasant in his mind. "Yes... I believe that will do just fine.." He speaks quietly, showing teeth as he smiles, before wiping his mouth delicately. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I cannot deny that. Rest assured, I'll let you know when we have a bit more seclusion." He smiles and flicks his eyebrows up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled at that. "You are... the most intriguing individual." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Rio de Janeiro quitethecharmer 2011-07-27 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I suppose I am, at that." He grins. "Sometimes I'm not even sure what I'm up to." You know nothing of who you really are. Shut up. They occupy themselves with idle chit-chat over the rest of breakfast, then depart for the beach. Vincent takes Asleif's hand as they walk.

	Asleif pretended to give this a great deal of thought. "Lately...? I suppose it depends upon how one chooses to define the term." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Allow me to elaborate." Vincent said, just as their feet were beginning to find sand beneath them. He turned and placed his hands on her hips. "Be very still." He leaned in and kissed her, as his fingers drew patterns on her clothing, which soon glowed to life. In moments, they were each dressed in clothing more appropriate to the beach.

	Re: Rio de Janeiro godlierthanthou 2011-07-28 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Well, this was... different. Asleif could not recall a single instance of being quite this unclothed in public before. It did, she would admit, serve the purpose of making them more inconspicuous. She resisted the urge to conjure herself an umbrella. Her gaze fell over him instead, a gaze most appreciative. "You have... excellent taste," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Rio de Janeiro quitethecharmer 2011-07-28 12:09 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "I'm not only a demi-god, I'm also European." He smooths his hands over her hips, before taking her arm again, as they walk towards the beach. The ground begins to rumble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, for Hel's sake...." Asleif snapped. "What on Midgard is going on now?" Really? Another location with trouble? It was like one of those terrible mortal television programs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent looks ready to murder someone with an icepick as a volcano, an honest-to-goodness volcano, rises up a few hundred feet offshore. Some sort of shuttle-craft seems to be circling it, a familiar woman hanging out the door with a camera in hand, as a loudspeaker blares.

"As you can see, prospective buyers, the A.I.M. Portable Magma Induction Array will let you rewrite the landscape wherever you please, with that perfect measure of shock and awe that ballistics cannot match and none of the nasty clean-up of radiation or chemicals."

Vincent's jaw locks as he recognizes the figure('s figure), even at a distance.
