RP POST: Seeing again for the first time ((Locked to Ivy))

[wright_idea]

Phoenix waits in the Nexus near a portal he knows comes out near a pretty decent restaurant back home. He has a fuller bouquet of carnations this time, the prettiest ones he could find. He's trying to be more excited, but after last night's argument with Mia he's not feeling at his most energetic. Still, it's hard not to be excited at all.

After all, Ivy will be able to see him for real.

He swallows. What if she doesn't like him? What he's too short, or not attractive enough, or his hair's too spikey? He's all concerned about his appearance, straightening his hair once ever five seconds or so.

He hopes she likes him.

"Yeah, that about covers it." He chuckles.

"Well, I hope she does it soon. There's not really that much time left..." He trails off, and sort of leaves it at that. It says everything, really.

He nods. "Funny, and yet you're always hungry a few hours later." He shrugs as the card comes back, and he signs off on it. "What'd you think, by the way? Pretty good, right?"

"Oh...I'm...Sorry." She squeezes his hand lightly. She can't really do much of anything else. Well maybe this is enough.

"Heh. Yeah. But I usually am fine for the rest of the night." She cants her head, a little like a well fed puppy. "I liked it. Food was great, thanks!"

He nods, squeezing back. It's amazing, really, having someone he could really talk to like this. It makes him realize how long he's stayed out of the loop, how much he's denied himself in his anxiety ever since Dahlia. It's almost... magic.

He walks her out, heading back through the portal that led into his own world and back into the Nexus. "I'm glad you did like it. I like it because it's not too expensive, of course..." He shakes his head. "Can you still see, here in the Nexus? It hasn't worn off yet?" he asks.

Just a magic of a different kind. No wand waving involed. Just feelings and words.

She giggles just a bit. But good food that is chea is wonderful. "I..." She sighs now. "I can't, sorry." She reaches into her jacket for her cane and lets it snap into place.

"It was nice while it lasted though."

He swallows. "Oh, um..."

Should he? ...oh, hell with it.

"Guess we'll just have to settle for feel, then." And he leans down to kiss her on the lips.

And the cane gets dropped! She can pick that up latter. She hadn't expected a good night kiss. But she of course returns the kiss.

And hey, nice to get a surprise.

After a few seconds (though perhaps not quite long enough, Phoenix thinks), he breaks away, smiling. Then notes the cane. "Oh, uh, you dropped this..." He bends down, grabs it, and hands it back to her. Well. Guess he's got SOME sort of effect, anyway.

And Ivy is quite flushed. This was a nice end to a pretty decent date.

"Umm...Well...guh." She's non-verbal right now. Yeajh. Phoenix, you stud you!
