Vernique had her namesake drink as she waited at the bar for Buck to get there, having arrived fashionably early herself. Yes, when she did it, it was fashionable.

	He doesn't keep the lady waiting for very long. He nods to the bartender, ordering a Jack Daniels and Coke for himself, before settling in just on time. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Mmm. You know what they say about the punctual ones," Vernique says pleasantly, then smiles more warmly than wryly. "Good to see you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 04:50 am UTC (link)
	"Do tell." he replies with a slight grin. "Good to see you too. You're looking great, as always." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're either very considerate, or being paid by the hour," she says drily and grins. "Or both. And thank you. Finally found the perfect belt for these shoes. May wear this ensemble every Saturday for a month on principle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 05:13 am UTC (link)
	That gets a wider grin. "You make anything look good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My secret mutant power. So how was your day?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No emergencies. Family stuff, business lunch, and a scolded a shoplifter. But it sounds like you definitely need to relax. The view from the penthouse is very relaxing, after a couple of drinks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 05:32 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm, been told I don't relax enough. The Sunday poker game and all, but otherwise... Maybe a couple drinks, you can let me buy you dinner, unless you've eaten, then we can take in the view?" Definitely no arguments. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 05:37 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like an excellent plan. And I wouldn't mind a light supper at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 05:40 am UTC (link)
	"Fair enough. If dinner is my treat, we're a little limited... but that's fine with me. Where would you like to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have precisely the appetite for the two-dollar sliders at that place on Cyprus, so it's all quite convenient." To everything, there was a time and a place. And with Buck, duck a l'Orange just didn't come to mind so easy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 05:48 am UTC (link)
	"A girl after my own heart." he agrees readily. While he can, technically, dress up a little and manage, its definitely not his natural environment. Sliders and drinks work just fine though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 05:54 am UTC (link)
	"Excellent." And when they finish their drinks, she'll slide out of her seat, lay the appropriately calculated bill-plus amount on the bar, and step just right for doors to be easily opened for her. "How're your aunts? Dad's been going on about them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 05:58 am UTC (link)
	"Fantastic. They just went in together on their own little club, so he may have to stop by sometime. As they say, let's them keep causing trouble, just in a more respectable manner." he replies as he walks, offering an arm once he's held the door for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 06:00 am UTC (link)
	She takes it and smiles. "Yes, that's definitely the right plan for them, by all accounts." And off they'll go to some very good, fairly cheap food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 06:05 am UTC (link)
	He eats a little more heartily than she does. His prodigious appetite is well known among the Avengers - he works it all off with an Olympic caliber workout routine and all. "So how's business in general?" he asks, once their orders are placed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 06:08 am UTC (link)
	"Very well. I'm pretty proud of the new perfume. Of course, the lab people had pretty low expectations. Well, the ones who were new hires to Nevell did, used to working for someone who didn't know what a base note was" She'll happily chatter lightly, balancing out that he had much more food than she. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 06:10 am UTC (link)
	There's really no question that he knows next to nothing about perfume. Nonetheless, he listens attentively, giving all signs that he's at least following most of the conversation while he eats, and lets her go on about something she's clearly passionate about. "Sounds like the new people will learn better than to doubt you pretty quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 06:13 am UTC (link)
	She tried to keep it in English; she wasn't a chemist herself, after all. She just darn well what she was doing when she did a particular thing. "Yep," Vernique says faux-primly. "All the world will slowly come to accept that I'm awesome." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is a pretty easy conclusion to come to, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 06:24 am UTC (link)
	"Why, thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Credit where its due. Young, beautiful, successful, connected, obviously knowledgeable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 06:32 am UTC (link)
	She smiles, definitely not being the sort of person who can't take a compliment. "You're sweet. And observant. And almost finished with your food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 06:36 am UTC (link)
	"All of this is true." he agrees, finishing up quickly, noticing she's done. "Now, I believe you had some plans in mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 06:41 am UTC (link)
	"Mmhm. Fortunately it's not that far." And she'll have herself escorted again, all the way back to the penthouse she has to herself this weekend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 06:46 am UTC (link)
	He's more than happy to provide the escort for her, of course. She has to unlock the door, so this one, he can't really open for her. Up to that point, he's the perfect gentleman. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 06:48 am UTC (link)
	That door she will get. It's a nice apartment, tidy, with a good couch facing indeed a lovely view. "Please sit down. Want anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 07:00 am UTC (link)
	"Not even sure what the options are, but I'm all for another drink, sure. And then the pleasure of your company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 07:12 am UTC (link)
	She soon curls up on the couch with two small glasses of vodka and lime juice. "Hope this'll do. I don't keep much of a stash." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 07:14 am UTC (link)
	He accepts it gratefully. "That will do nicely, thank you. Just make yourself comfortable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 07:15 am UTC (link)
	"You're welcome. I believe I will." And she'll get nicely cosy against him. "Good view, as I said, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 07:18 am UTC (link)
	His arm goes around her readily, other hand on the drink as he settles back casually. "It is. The view out the window ain't bad either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 07:22 am UTC (link)
	A low chuckle. "Well done." She drinks her drink, then reaches just enough to set the glass down the end table without getting out of being nestled into Buck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 07:36 am UTC (link)
	He finishes his drink as well, doing his best to set it aside without having to shift her about too much, able to get that much more comfortable now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 07:40 am UTC (link)
	And the time and place has now, apparently, been reached for Vernique to nuzzle happily at his neck and press a few kisses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 07:48 am UTC (link)
	He knew she had a reputation for moving fairly quickly with those she likes. He doesn't mind any, shifting his head a bit to offer his neck, hand wandering down her side a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 07:53 am UTC (link)
	It's no secret. And she'll happily attend to his neck for a bit as her hands get the basics of the situation, then a kiss to the jawline. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 08:05 am UTC (link)
	He tilts his head, letting her do just that, her shifting in closer letting him move as well so his hands can both roam a little, drawing her in closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 08:08 am UTC (link)
	And she presses in with her hands flat against his chest, and is clearly interested in more kissing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-07-27 08:18 am UTC (link)
	He's more than happy to return her kisses, hands sliding down her sides to her hips, resting there as he presses his lips to hers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-07-27 08:22 am UTC (link)
	And that will be just perfect for a while. Then, pulling back for some air. "Anything I should know about anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
