I'm not a forgiving man. Mercy, for all of its moral value, gets you killed. It's a luxury, or at times a practical tool. Opportunities to exercise it can be rare. When each day threatens the death of those close to you, you soon learn to recognize when forgiveness is a waste of your time ( Read more... )

You've never needed to apologize to me, Niko. You know I'll forgive you just about anything.

And I think dinner would be lovely. There area any number of things we could discuss.

You should still know. I don't hold you to blame.

Do you work tonight?

Thank you.

No, I don't actually. What did you have in mind?

A late supper somewhere we won't be disturbed by inquisitive onlookers.

Private and quiet? I might know a place or two off the square, did you have anything more specific in mind?

Mostly, I had in mind barring Robin from making suggestions. You choose the cuisine. I'll pick you up eleven.

I know the perfect place. Italian, with an excellent vegetarian menu, and curtained rooms off the side for more... delicate business negotiations. Shall I make reservations?

I know the place you mean. I'll call them.

Splendid. I even think I have the perfect dress to wear.

You always look beautiful, Promise.

[ooc: Feel up to action or a log?]

I think I might aim a little higher than beautiful tonight, Niko.

[ooc: now that I have eaten, certainly. either or is fine with me.]

[A delay from Niko as he's reminded for a moment that he's a twenty-two-year-old male in a relationship with an extremely desirable woman.]

I look forward to it.

[ooc: Mmm, food sounds excellent. Action in a tag or two?]

[And if Niko thinks Promise hasn't been planning this for weeks, he's sorely mistaken.]

So do I, it's been too long since we've done this.

[ooc: spicy grilled tofu with veggies and noodles, and fresh steamed edamame. Iz goooood.]

[Niko would have to relocate a large volume of blood to his brain to have that thought.]

At least two months too long. I'll see you tonight.

[He has a few preparations to make, so he juggles these while he deals with Robin.]

[ooc: :D That would be Niko approved.]

[Promise had a few preparations of her own to make, namely making sure the dress she'd bought for such an occasion was still gave the effect she was looking for.]

I'll see you then.

[At 10:45, Niko leaves the apartment. As always, his formal wear is understated: black slacks, black suit jacket, black boots, black tie, and a shirt a subtle shade of green to avoid the monotony. He leaves his sword at home but takes along the usual complement of knives he brings to security details at soirees and gallery openings. His hair is ruthlessly disciplined, as always, secured in a queue that barely passes his shoulders. He brings with him a single flower, a cala lily, out of season but vibrant with a faint violet blush to its trumpet-shaped flower.]
