parks his car outside of Greenland's ((Yeah, ignore the Geography fail)) and climbs out of the car, looking nervously up at the house before
walking up to the door and knocking. He has flowers, chocolates and is in_
rather snappy suit and jacket. www.essentialstyleformen... He only wonders now if he's overly prepared ;n;
((dayum that is a snappy suit))
opens the door, considerably more nervous than she was a minute ago. She's relieved that's she's not too over or under dressed when she sees
him and smiles brightly, trying not to show that she felt a little exposed in the short dress. "Hello Eduard!" And no stutter, bonus points.
smiles, blushing as he keeps his eyes on her face. 'H-*clears throat* Hey Mettalise.' He holds out the flowers and chocolates. 'You look_
really nice.' He flushes more with that comment, tempted to bash his head off a wall. Nice? Nice?
((I love Zara ;o; ))
takes the flowers and chocolates, blushing brightly. Romance novels did have some factual info to them! "Oh, thank you!" She wasn't going to
tell him she spent the whole day getting ready, not at all. "Should I put these inside real quick? The flowers are really gorgeous."
pushes his glasses up, nodding. 'Maybe put the flowers in Water?' His main point of reference may have been a romance novel ;o;
nods, running inside. "I'll be back in a second!" She puts the chocolates high up and quickly puts the flowers in a vase of water. On her_
way out she grabs a light jacket she bought and joins him outside. "Thank you, I really like the flowers." She finally notices his car, why
Greenland
is
it so nice?!
Eduard
was
told to pick a car by his government, and he was inexplicably drawn to this one a while back. He smiles, 'I'm glad you like them.' He walks_
ahead and opens the passenger side door for her, only now noticing just how short the skirt is... he might lend her his jacket, if need be.
smiles brightly, taking a seat in the car. "Wow, this is really nice, is it new?" She hasn't noticed how high the hem rides up when she's
sitting either. She's too busy inspecting his car, fascinated that it's not something from the 60's, rusting or a truck.
Eduard
says
, 'No... it's a few years old now.' He just cleans it every month and tends to be the only one in it. Shutting the door softly after she's_
in, he flushes due to the eyeful he gets as he makes his way round the front and slides into the driver side. 'Do you not like it?'
sets her coat on her lap, still unaware. "No, I do, I've never been in a car this nice before. So, where are you taking me tonight?"
smiles, 'Ahh, the place I sent you in the email. Vertigo. I booked a table by the window so that we can see Tallinn.' He pulls out of the_
drive, keeping an eye out for any oncoming cars.
blushes a little. "I'm not undressed for it, am I?" Better to ask now before they got there and everyone looked tons classier than she did.
shakes his head, eyes flicking over to her briefly. 'I'm sure you'll be the prettiest woman in the r-room.'
turns red at the compliment. "Th-thank you." She smiles and looks out the window. "You look really nice, the suit looks great on you." Oh no
Greenland
was
it weird to compliment a guy? "Not that you don't look nice all the time, just really uhh.. classy!"
smiles, feeling his cheeks redden. 'Thank you.' His hands tighten briefly around the wheel before relaxing, 'You suit your hair curly.'
touches it, it didn't look as nice as when Trini did it but she did her best. "Oh, thanks! I wish I could do this all the time but it's too_
disagreeable. Consider yourself lucky for getting to see it so nice like this."
smiles, 'I shall do.' He taps the wheel out of nervousness, as they get closer to the restaurant. 'What did you think of the place?'
turns to face him. "Honestly, it's probably the fanciest place I've ever been or hope to go to again. I'm a bit nervous. But it looks really
nice and you seemed a little excited to go so I'm excited to go. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you in the restaurant."
frowns at the last line, 'I don't think you're going to embarrass me.'
smiles a bit. "I'm not exactly the most lady like, but I know how to act in a formal setting. I won't be asking what all those utensils are
for, even though its silly to have 4 forks on a table."
blinks, 'I don't think they'll have four forks... unless you request that. It's not pretentious... just nice.'
laughs a little. "I know, I was just exaggerating a little. I think it's going to be really nice. I'm only worried that they won't speak
English. You'll help me out then, right?"
nods, 'I'll help you out... but Tallinn gets a lot of tourists so I think they'll be able to speak English. He smiles in reassurance,_
parking close to the restaurant.
Greenland
is
glad for that, she hasn't quite gotten used to such high heels. "Wow, it's all the way up there too isn't it? This place is really pretty."
nods, getting out of the car to open her door for her. 'Yeah, 9th floor... we should be able to see a good amount of Tallinn from there.'
Greenland
is
starting to like all this gentlemen stuff. "I've already read about how beautiful it is, I'm excited to actually see it myself." She gets
out of the car, pulling her jacket on. "What should I do if we see someone you know?"
wasn't really thinking that far ahead, 'Talk to them?' He's not sure why that's a big deal. He shuts the door after her and locks the car, '
I don't think my boss has any business meals tonight though... so we should be safe.'
nods. "Okay, I can do that." In her head she still hadn't figured out why he had asked her on a date so she wouldn't say anything suggesting
they were or were not on a date. "I wasn't worried about your boss, he's really nice. And I think his bow ties are really cute."
pushes his glasses up, nose scrunching up just slightly. "Ah, yes. Many people seem to be fond of his bow ties...' He opens the door to the_
building for her. 'Thankfully I don't follow his fashion advice though, no?'
laughs a little, waiting for him inside. "No, I don't think you could quite pull it off like he does. I like your tie better. It suits you."
smiles, 'I'm glad you agree.' He holds the door open for another couple before slipping in. He offers his arm, flushing.
takes it, blushing a bit as well. "Ahh to the elevator? I don't think I'd quite make the stairs in these shoes." She was trying to make a
joke, as terrible as it was, to hide how awkward she was feeling.
Eduard
feels
awkward too, already regretting the action. 'I doubt I'd have much energy left for a date after 9 flights...' He tries to joke back, leading
the way to the elevator.
isn't a huge fan of them, and holds on a bit tighter as they approach it. "Me either, I'd end up crawling up the last few flights.." She
smiles at him, the joking helping the awkwardness ease. "But I'd do it if it's great view of your pretty capital."
Eduard
feels
the squeeze, placing his other hand over hers in comfort. 'I-It's not worth that...' he says, flustering. >~<
presses the buttons, the only part she likes. "Didn't you win the cultural capital thing? Then it is." She gives the elevator a hard look
when it arrives. "Last time I was in one of these I was stuck for an hour with Poland and Spain.."
looks horrified at the thought.. 'Dear Lord... what happened?'
Greenland
is
even more hesitant when it arrives. "It just stopped working. Poland panicked, I thought it was part of the ride actually."
squeezes her hand as they step in. 'Poland panicking... that sounds traumatic.'
laughs at the memory. "It was a bit, I didn't understand what was going on. Spain tried to climb out the top, like in the movies. Eventually
someone noticed there's an emergency call button, 30 minutes after it broke down. Ninth floor right?" She hits the button, hoping its right.
nods, 'Ninth floor. Thanks.'
clings a little tighter. "I've never been to a restaurant so high up before. Is that common here?"
shakes his head, 'No... it's a bit of a novelty.' He smiles, 'Much more common in America.'
waits for it to get to the 9th floor and nearly drags him off when the door opens. "No need to panic Eduard, we're safe now."
... smiles, 'Thanks Mettalise.' He leads the way to the Restaurant, 'Reservation for Von Bock.'
tries not to gawk at the fanciness of the place. And for some reason she feels as if she has to be super quiet. "Whoa this is nice.."
nods, looking around. Even he was nervous... He slips into Estonian as the waitress leads them to their table, ordering a wine he'd picked_
out before hand. When they reach the table he pulls out a seat for Mettalise, smiling towards her.
sits down, smiling back. "Thank you. You know, you're a perfect gentleman when you want to be. Or is it only me that you pick on?"
pushes up his glasses, 'I.. I don't seem to pick on anyone else.' He sits opposite her, cheeks red.
blushes a little herself and looks down, turning red. "You could have told me my dress was this short when I sit." She puts her napkin over
her lap, really embarrassed now.
covers his mouth, mumbling. 'You wouldn't have been happy with the fact I was looking there if I'd told you...'
makes sure her voice is low so the other tables couldn't hear them. "I don't mind you looking, that means my hours of torture paid off. I
mind when other people are looking. "
turns bright red, shrugging off his coat. 'Would you like this for you legs just now then?' he asks, eyebrows knitted in embarrassment.
shakes her head. "I've scooted far enough under the table but thank you for offering. Plus it would look to obvious right?" She looks out
the window, smiling brightly. "Wow, it really is a great view! Will you show me around after dinner? Just a little, please~?"
watches her for a moment before looking out. His eyes widen... it really was a great view. 'Of-of course!'
smiles happily. "Thanks Eduard! Soooo what is good to eat here? Any recommendations?"
hums, 'One of my favourite starters is Milk soup with Pearl Barley. He smiles brightly, not realising how_
disgusting that could probably be to other nations.
blinks a little at the idea. But she shouldn't shoot it down without trying it. "I'll try it then, if it's your favourite."
smiles,'Okay...' He looks over the menu, humming. 'I think Jellied Veal would be good for the main course?'
Greenland
is
thrown off by that. What exactly was that... "W-what..? Veal in jello...?"
nods... 'Would you like to see a picture?'
gets the feeling she shouldn't.. "Ja, I'm getting this scary picture of veal floating in lime jello."
www.lucianopignataro.it/... quickly looks it up on his phone, smiling as he slides it over. 'Looks good, right?'
isn't sure that's how she'd put it. "Honestly, it weirds me out. But I'm going to try it. Can I order a small salad too in case I can't
eat it all?"
looks slightly disheartened, but nods. 'Of course... they have other dishes too?'
shakes her head. "No, I want that. I feel like I must try it, curiosity has gotten a hold of me. But if I don't like it will you eat it?"
((?))
nods, 'Of course. I love Jellied Veal.' He smiles brightly.
doesn't know how anyone can be that excited for meat in jello, so now she really wants to try it. "Then we're set?"
hums, 'Yeah. We can get dessert later.'
smiles, holding back the joke she wanted to make. "Can you order for me, I feel like it'll be tons faster."
blinks, 'Ehh..if you want.' He looks around, seeing the waitress come over with the wine. 'But only if you okay the wine.'
gets really excited, drinking wine is something adults do. "O-Okay!!"
slips into Estonian with the waitress, explaining that Greenland was tasting the wine. She pours Greenland a glass, handing it over with a_
smile.
sips it, not quite sure what's she's supposed to do. She smiles back at the waitress, setting the glass down. "It's fantastic, thank you."
|The waitress smiles towards Eduard, 'Then I'll just leave it here...do you have your order ready?' He nods, ordering both courses. With_
that the waitress leaves.
smiles at him. "Why am I not surprised that you're great at ordering fancy wines too. You keep surprising me."
looked it up on the internet >~<. He shifts in his seat, 'I hope it's not a bad surprise.'
shakes his head. "No, I usually don't have wine so it's really nice." She's definitely not going to tell him about the times she got drunk
off a bottle of wine alone watching chick flicks. "So umm.. how have you been lately?"
hmms, swirling his wine before sipping. 'Good,' he didn't really feel comfortable discussing politics on a date. 'How about yourself?
takes little sips of hers. "I've been good. Received some lovely photos in the mail thanks to you and I've been hiding in my room since."
... snorts, 'Ahh, that sounds fun.' He's rather curious as to whether the guy is overcompensating or not now.
grins widely at him. "I sent them to you, so you'll know how much fun I had receiving them. You were the one flirting after all."
smirks, 'Now I know not to open any mail with a Greenland postmark.'
sips her wine. "I shipped it from somewhere else. You can't not open all your mail."
replies, 'My secretary will see it before me.'
frowns a little. "That's no fun at all! Do I have to personally put it in your mailbox?"
smirks, 'I don't have a mailbox, you have to post letters to me through the door.'
huffs. "Then I'll knock on your door then and make you accept them. They're really yours after all.
hums, 'They were sent to you though.'
pouts. "Because they thought you were me! You did the flirting so you get them."
sips his wine, 'I only responded in kind to the advances you didn't deal with before hand.'
laughs a little, covering it up with her hand so she's not too loud. "You looked too classy. I'll find a way for you to get them."
frowns, puffing out a cheek. 'Must just be the surroundings...'
calms herself down. "You looked so serious. Especially in that suit. Ah this view is so nice, do you have an apartment so you can see this?"
shakes his head, 'I prefer to live just outside of Tallinn when I can... I only have a small apartment in town.'
smiles. "It's nice, we don't have buildings this high. Some of the apartments are big but that's in the capital."
