Anomia

Vlad hugged Cait from behind, wrapping his arms around her and rested his chin on the top of her head as he narrowed his eyes and considered the piece in front of them. He totally knew the name of this. For sure. It shouldn't even be that hard. He'd bet a lot that he'd seen pictures of this many times before. And no, he would not cheat and look at the plaque.

But why couldn't he remember who it was to save his life?

"Wait...I know this one. I can get this, I swear!" Yeah...no. Well, way to look stupid in front of your girlfriend in the middle of the Ancient Rome exhibit. Which was sort of the one that mattered really.

	"Now you're tempting me to surprise you somehow," he laughed. "Any more of the exhibits you wanted to go through or food on me? ...Money wise I mean." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-18 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Cait grinned. "I don't know. Food /on/ you sounds good too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughed at that. "It can be arranged, just say the word. Though sadly not in the city, they're spoilsports sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A brow rose. "I was joking," she said. Though the thought of doing that was a nice one. Mentally she chided herself for having such thoughts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled and shook his head at her. "You know that half of what I say is jokingly." Didn't mean it didn't sound like a good idea, just that he didn't expect it to be taken as a serious offer. And yep...should not be thinking if it was a serious offer now or in public. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dunno. How about somewhere we haven't been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Indian?" Cait suggested. "We don't get it often since there's no Indian places in Salem Center." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-18 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Good point. Indian it is!" He waved goodbye to the Caligula bust as they made their way out. "His pride is probably hurt I didn't remember him," he whispered to Cait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doubt it," she said. "Worry not. I'll always remember you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled over at her and gave her hand a squeeze. "Nah, I'm not worried about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-18 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Good. Cause I'll still remember you when I'm old and senile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-18 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Vlad had to laugh. "And you'll still be wonderful when you're old and if you're senile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think you've got it mastered," Cait said and squeezed his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughed and squeezed her hand back. "So what can I work on then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think keeping me supplied with chocolate could use a little work," Cait teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-19 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I will get to work on that, stat!" He gave her a playful salute. "So what chocolates other than raspberry truffles will get me the chocolate badge of mastery?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
