He chuckles. "I said one thing, not /the/ one thing. Glad to hear we're not about to lose your sparkling presence for too long. Got to be a bad influence on the new Starkling, huh?"

"Of course," she said with a grin. "Someone has to teach him the ropes." She quirked an eyebrow. "Sparkling presence? Do I look like a Twilight vampire?"

He laughs. "Guess not, thinking you'd prefer a burger over sucking my blood."

"Something like that," Anya answered. Her mind was going in very bad and dirty places. Thankfully the waitress showed up and she focused on food. She ordered a bacon cheeseburger with the works and an order of large fries. A Diet Coke to wash it down.

It takes him a little longer to get to the same place. Doesn't come as naturally. He sees her expression, and it sets the wheels turning enough that it takes him an extra few seconds to realize the waitress is talking to him.

"Oh, uhm... the fried egg and bacon burger, fries and Coke."

"Thank you," Anya said to the waitress.

"I haven't been able to find a better burger in New York than what they have here. Though I haven't given up searching."

"Then I propose a quest. You can use your fancy computer to make a list of all the burger places in the area that are above fast food grade, and we'll hit a couple every time you're up, and do this scientifically."

Science is best when it involves lots of hamburgers and cute girls.

"Or you can join me on my Saturday trip to get a burger somewhere in the United States," Anya suggested.

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 24th, 2011 05:01 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"This is tempting, very tempting. Sure, why not? Long as you're paying for the trip."

	From: anyastark	Date: October 24th, 2011 10:27 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Anya chuckled. "I go by suit. I have a flight suit you can use for the trips."

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 24th, 2011 10:36 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Huh, interesting. Will have to consider that."

	From: anyastark	Date: October 24th, 2011 10:53 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Well I don't limit myself to New York. I check out burgers all over the country."

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:00 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Makes sense, and sounds interesting. I'd need some piloting work, and more free time."

	From: anyastark	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:06 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Oh, I mean a flight suit that will protect you at the high speeds and cold, but I'll be doing the actual flying. You just get to hold on tight for the ride." There may have been some blushing at the end there.

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:12 pm (UTC)		(Link)

The blushing draws more of a grin than the implications, all things considered. "Well then, how can I say no to that?"

	From: anyastark	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:15 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Well then, Mr. Rogers, we have standing dates for Saturday barring world threatening events and charitable obligations. Which of course the latter still means we may have a standing date."

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:17 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Saturday... you're on. Hamburgers and your, as we decided, non-sparkling personality. Sounds like a good time."

	From: anyastark	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:19 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"And of course whatever trouble that manages to find us," Anya grinned.

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:27 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"You, trouble? I can't imagine."

	From: anyastark	Date: October 24th, 2011 11:40 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Anya grinned. "Hey, I don't get into trouble. It finds /me/."

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 25th, 2011 12:34 am (UTC)		(Link)

"No matter where you go, right?"

	From: anyastark	Date: October 25th, 2011 12:54 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Exactly! I can't hide from it. It always finds me." Even she couldn't say that with a straight face.

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 25th, 2011 09:47 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Right, because your family has such a reputation for hiding from trouble. Obviously you need more practice."

	From: anyastark	Date: October 25th, 2011 07:49 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Anya just laughed. "You know me too well."

	From: treadlightly	Date: October 25th, 2011 07:52 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Your reputation precedes you. I barely know you, but I know that much."
