"I'll consider it" is as good as yes in his books
It was a slow day today, summer and all meant he had no school or classes, and since it was a weekend...no work at that internship he'd gotten for the summer either. But he did remember a certain secluded scientist mutant who'd agreed to go out for pizza one day. Sure he'd seemed a little...unenthusiastic about the whole thing but hey, the guy needed to get out sometime.

So Vlad got dressed to go outside, grabbed car keys and went off to go find Fred, wherever the guy might be.

	Fred for one wasn't in his lab, but he was in the X-Men's study working. He was sitting at the study's computer when Vlad came in. Fred didn't even look behind him. "Salutations, Vlad," he replied politely. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"And greetings to you Fred," Vlad grinned and gave a joking salute as he walked in. "So, what're you up to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Attempting to learn the identity of the voice Markham Hayes was speaking with," Fred replied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are vague references to an 'Emil' in certain corporate circles, but nothing positive on a last name or even if Emil is his actual first name," Fred informed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fred rubbed the bridge of his nose a bit in quiet frustration. "Unfortunately, yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah, well...I have good timing then. Perfect time for a food break!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fred looked up with a raised eyebrow. "Food break?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-29 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. A food break. You know, a break, where you eat...food. C'mon Fred! Pizza!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh sweet merciful heavens... "Is this in regards to our discussion some time ago?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sort of. But think about it. You need to eat, I need to eat. You need to get out of the Mansion a bit, I've been feeling cooped up. I'm free, you need a break. It's positive all around. So shoes on and let's go for some pizza. You did say you would." He shoots Fred a friendly broad grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fred's eyes narrow a bit as he lift up his leg to show one of his wolf-like feet. "I do not wear shoes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-29 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Vlad is unphased. "Boots then. I know there's plenty around the mansion for that sort of thing. No excuses Fred, pizza is happening. Come on, you'll enjoy it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fred seemed a little perplexed at Vlad's insistence, but then brought a clawed finger up to check his ears. No, not pointed today. The claws could be hidden he supposed..at least there were not any more distinguishing mutation this week. "I did say I would consider it," he conceded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Exactly. So meet you in the foyer in 10? Pizza is on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you said I could not argue this?" Fred asked dryly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Argue it in the car," he called back with a laugh as he left the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I suppose that's that," Fred said to himself, consigned to his fate. He put on the appropriate clothing garments to hide his animalistic features before going out to the car. "I have to sit in the back, my legs cannot comfortably extend in the front." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-29 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	Vlad was glad Fred decided to show up despite knowing the guy wasn't too enthusiastic about this. "No problem. I could push the passenger seat back, give you more leg room, there's nobody in back that you'd be getting in the way of. But up to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2013-07-29 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	Fred thinks on that. "I suppose that would be sufficient," Fred decides, moving to the front seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-29 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Great!" Still with an ever present smile, Vlad walks around the car to the passenger side to adjust the seat for Fred. "So Fred, any dietary considerations to take into account today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2013-07-29 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Simply the usual aversion to vegetable matter," Fred replied. He seemed to test the seat for adequate room before he sat inside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dairy and meat fine then?" Vlad got into the driver's seat and smiled at Fred. Honestly he was pleasantly surprised Fred was going along with this, but hey, people change. Perhaps Fred was getting used to being around people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2013-07-29 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	"My preferred food groups," he confirmed. Frankly Fred wasn't certain why he hadn't protested more. Was he actually starting to feel lonely? No, that was preposterous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
