Date Night
Josh had arranged for reservations at the restaurant Valini had wanted to go to. He didn't know where Val lived so they decided that they would meet at the restaurant. It had been awhile since Josh had put on a suit, and it wasn't even for work. He wondered how this would go. He hoped he hadn't been too impulsive.

	"Indeed," she agreed and squinted as she studied him. "Leather, not spandex. I'd say one dark base color, maybe two accent colors, tops. No nineties armor or a thousand pouches everywhere. Headgear would be nice, for safeties' sake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mm, indeed and maybe sooner than later," she agreed and smirked at him. "Don't even have to use cake as a lure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
