@kushtibokt: If it's to cool down my fancy cocktail, then by all means.
"sounds like you're offering to have a drink with me. i could probably get behind this. if you buy."
"wow, you certainly have a way with words." ice cubes? WHAT ice cubes? kami was never talking about those to begin with! "going straight for my heart with the 'all you can drink' offer, huh? maybe i'll take you up on that. any particular place you fancy?"
Oh? Well, that's an interesting turn of events.
"I can buy you that and much more." If that will make him at least desist from the ice cube idea! "Whatever you crave, on my tab. What do you say?"
"i'm sure wherever we go will leave me satisfied. i don't get out much, so i'll trust your judgement. as long as the drinks taste good and leave me feeling even better by the end of it, i'll be happy."
he KNOWS that while this is an actual date, it doesn't actually mean anything beyond surface level. kami's okay with that. being smooth talked into forgetting about the ice cubes is always a plus, in his opinion.
plus, the drinks are a HUGE bonus.
"cozy and private sounds even more enticing. i'm ready whenever you are."
―That was quite fast, indeed. He's not complaining at this opportunity to make an acquaintance while dodging getting iced. Two birds in one stone.
"There are a couple places that suit my fancies, though I intend to have you satisfied by the end of this arrangement. There is one in mind I can wager you will like, if you're into something a little more cozy and private."
"you continue to flatter me," kami says, lowering his gaming device. it's quickly shut off and put away, with attention once more being directed to aventurine. "if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were trying to butter me up for your own purposes."
getting to his feet, kami glances around the hotel, not nervously, just still not wanting to attract a lot of attention. though if they're going to stay here, he might as well remain on his best behavior for the time being. he still doesn't like being out in the public eye, for fear of someone, or something spotting him. though that's not something aventurine is aware of right now. HOPEFULLY.
returning the bow, kami offers him an almost mischievous grin. "lead the way, my friend. those drinks sound rather delicious right now."
while kami isn't sure of how this night is going to go, he can't deny his eagerness to actually get to know aventurine more, and figure out why exactly kafka had an issue with him. they both come with secrets, it seems, and kami is eager to learn them.
Though the plan for this date was initially a countermeasure to the shenanigans that arose against him, he would be lying if he said it was not an interesting prospect to look forward to.
The idea of hanging out with a stranger he had nothing to negotiate with was normally met with reluctance, yet this time around the other had seemed to keep a good match to his back and forth at an entertaining degree. Plus it was only fair that he kept his word after being spared from getting iced (boy, was he lucky!).
A text provided him the location he needed to arrive; and with a last inspection to ensure everything was in place―his outfit a change from the usual uniform, accompanied by his trademark pink shades and white fedora―the Stoneheart went on his way to arrive at last in the lobby of the Reverie, to search for his date.
A quick glance around was what only took to spot Kami, who remained fairly unasuming in a far corner, clearly avoiding any more attention despite being well dressed up for the occassion. He approached him with a charming smile plastered across his features.
"Hiding away while wearing such a ravishing attire? I take you're self-aware of the attention you'd bring to yourself, looking good like this." It wasn't an empty compliment, for the other truly was of beautiful complexion in his own right.
His hat was placed against his chest as he bent for a little polite bow. "Aventurine here at your disposal, a pleasure to see you again, my friend. Shall we go to the V.I.P area for the promised drinks?"
