Workout.
Tess rose, handled all the morning grooming, dressed, and walked to the gym. She then proceeded, knowing that this wasn't anyone else's scheduled time, to make sure the gym was properly locked up.

Then she patched through the intercom to Steven. "This is your wakeup call, pal."

	He settles back in his chair, talking quietly til the food comes. He cuts off a piece of the fish sandwich, offering it over, then digs into the others, having to remember to keep himself to normal speeds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks." And she enjoys the bite of fish, wish she finds delicious, alongside her usual eggs. Between bites. "So what do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I think... I really like the roast beef and provolone. It has substance... the hot mustard and pickles go well with it. The fish... might be a thing to try on its own. It does not go well. The club... I love the mix of flavors... again, maybe a thing to try when I'm not also eating something with hot mustard so I can appreciate it... more subtle. And I still like orange juice. Can I trade you part of my fish for part of your sandwich?"

	"Yeah, sometimes things mix, sometimes they don't. Sounds good." And she will take more fish, and give Steven some eggs-on-rye. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods at the assessment. "Well, if you ever have recommendations, let me know." He tries the new sandwich, brightening a bit. "Ok, eggs do go with roast beef and hot mustard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She chuckles. "Good." Then they'll continue eating for a while. When they're quite done, Tess orders glasses of milk. "We're going to clear your palate completely before the cheesecake, so it won't be tarnished by context." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 02:47 am UTC (link)
	He happily finishes everything in front of him, and then the milk. "You take your cheesecake seriously." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like to be rigorous. If you do not like this, we will have conclusively proven that you do not like cheesecake itself, as a concept." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"Reasonable." he agrees, as the cheesecake is brought out. He takes a careful bite, then brightens considerably. "Ok, I like cheesecake, as a concept." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-15 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"Thank goodness!" She digs her own fork in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yes, we can definitely come back here more often." he adds, as he digs in a little more vigorously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-15 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Good." She eats. "Question. You've known the rest of the gang a little while. Our of curiosity, how would you assess them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's a tricky question. I've... known alternate versions of some of them too, here and there. JSA'ers were occasionally very prominent in Flash's minds, so sometimes they, or their kids, got a little bigger slice of my realities. I'd need to know them longer, consecutively, to fairly make sure I'm not judging anyone based on someone like them or something. I do like Cat... but then we both spend a fair amount of time training, so I've seen a bit more of her. Fate is more distant, go figure."

	"That seems fair," she says, nodding. "Mark's a great guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

An affirmative sound between the remaining bites. "Well, we're going to round everone up for some group practice this afternoon. Until then, I've got a bunch of files and other business, despite all the new-boyfriend glee."
Getting back to proper work was a bit of a comedown after a night and morning of making herself Steven's prize to claim, but time and tide wait for no one, except occasionally speedsters.

He nods with surprising understanding. As amazing as the night and day have been, and they have been that, being him has always impressed on him that he has more time. There's such a thing as too late... but there was always a tomorrow, even if he couldn't recognize it from today.

"Group practice is good. We may also want to tell people we're dating at some point, to cut down curiosity or accidents."

	"Yes. We should probably do that this afternoon, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Seems like a good plan to me. Not have people just assuming we're in our rooms alone." Cause that could be awkward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tess fidgets with her fork. "Yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 04:43 am UTC (link)
	He finishes his cheesecake. "Don't worry, we'll be careful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right," she says, working out the check as she stands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 05:05 am UTC (link)
	He lets her handle the check, quietly resolving to get on that movie thing in hopes he might be able to cover some of these lunches eventually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Silly as it seems to rush back to a lot of paperwork," she says, putting her arms around his neck. "Would you mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 05:28 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, I get it, you just like me for my legs." he replies with a grin. Still, he picks her up, and brings her back to her office in an instant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
