Thirty-Second Down [Audio//English//Locked 50% to Riley]

Sep 21, 2010 22:05

[The only reason Sal locks this is that it's rather similar to how he invited another girl on a date and... considering they didn't work out, but that had been a great date, he'd hate for her to hear this, especially with their recent conversation. However, if she really were to try, it's obviously pretty hackable...]

Hey, Riley? Y'vail'ble t'meet ( Read more... )

[Oh, what's this? Sal wants to see her? Consider her game.]

Sure am. Be there in a few minutes alright?

Good deal. I'll be waitin', darlin',

[Sal shouldn't be too hard to find at all. He's set up a traditional picnic as far away away from many graves as he could. There's a checkered blanket and a basket of food. Sal also brought a painting sketchbook and a pallet of paints in case the urge hits him. Riley does give him that feeling sometimes.]

[Riley grabs a few things together, namely her communicator and her keycard, and heads to deck thirteen.

It isn't hard to find Sal at all, though it is definitely a surprise to see the set up he'd put together down there. Riley's expression of curiosity turns to surprise as she begins to piece together what lays before her.

Riley stops shy of the blanket's edge and smiles at Sal.]

What's all this?

[He grins, standing in the grass waiting with his hands in his pockets.]

S'a picnic. S'our date! I promised you one, din' I?

[Riley approaches Sal carefully, eyes flicking between him and the blanket on the grass. This is a date?

A date.

Riley can't remember the last time she was on a date with anyone, and can't remember anyone ever going to such trouble for her. Ever.

At last, she smiles up at him, and reaches out to slide her fingertips down his lower arm.]

You set up a picnic for me?

[He allows her fingers to travel a distance before her removes his hand from his pocket and takes hers gently. An eyebrow lifts mischievously.]

S'that what I did? Din' notice.

[He uses his free hand to gesture to the blanket.] Wanna seat?

[Well how about that. Riley lets Sal take her hand and gives it a playful squeeze.]

Not very observant then, are ya? But don't mind if I do.

[With a chuckle, she lowers herself to the blanket, using her hand in Sal's to keep her descent steady.

For the moment, Riley's going to let Sal lead this whole thing, considering if it were up to her, they'd be ignoring the food and the art supplies.]

[Sal assists Riley then follows once she's comfortably seated, sitting cross-legged facing her. Only once he's down does he let go of her hand to flip open the basket, raising his eyebrows at her.]

I din' know what y'liked, so I brought everythin' I could fin'. [There's probably ten sandwiches in the basket, each individually wrapped in paper, along with plastic containers with fruit, small bags of chips, and a bottle of wine. It's a big basket...]

Don' 'spect y't'eat it all, though. [He adds with a grin.]

[She stares at the basket, but it's not just the sheer amount of the food that amazes her, but the obvious care he took with each sandwich, the individual containers of food...

Riley looks up to Sal again with a tilt of her head. It's hard not to be struck by the fact that he put quite a bit of time into this. For asecond, it seems as if she's going to say something, or ask something, but Riley covers it with another smile.]

Well I should hope not. There's enough to feed an army.

[It's obvious to Sal that Riley wasn't expecting this and that's exactly what he'd intended by doing it. To surprise her. To show he cared enough to put this much thought into it. Of course, he probably went a little overboard, but it's not like he does anything else with his time.]

I wanted t'be sure I got everythin' covered! Don' worry, though, I'll prolly take care'a what you don'.

[He removes the bottle of wine (which Sal can't tell whether it's cheap or not, but it's got a twist top instead of a cork--if Sal were a touch more cultured, he'd probably know) and a pair of plastic cups.]

I ain't real classy, though...

Reply

reckless_riley September 23 2010, 00:53:14 UTC
Yeah, well, I'm not so classy either.

[Riley doesn't sniff at the bottle of wine with the twist top. Wine is wine as far as she's concerned, and right now she's far too floored and touched that Sal went to such trouble for her.

For the moment, she chooses to push away that nagging feeling that really, it would be better for both of them, or at least him, to get out now while it's still early.

Riley grabs for the plastic cups and holds them out so Sal can pour for both of them.]

Who needs class anyway when you're having fun?

[Sal grins while pouring the wine into the cups in Riley's hands.]

M'thoughts 'zactly.

[He tops off the second glass and moves to take it from Riley as he sets the bottle aside.]

How've y'been? [This, Riley, is what's called talking.]

Reply

reckless_riley September 23 2010, 01:17:52 UTC
[She'll talk in a second. First, she wants to try that wine he just poured. After a nice sip, and determining that it would do well enough she spoke up.]

Not so bad. It's been...a mix of boring and eventful.

[Riley grins and leans on one arm as she continues to sip her wine. There's briefly a thought about her recent evening with Gunn, but once more, Riley pushes that thought to the side for the time being.]

I'm getting to the point where I think I need to find myself a new adventure to get my adrenaline going, y'know?

conquistasal September 23 2010, 01:22:34 UTC
[Sal's eyebrows raise. He didn't know Riley when she asked to be killed, but he recalls her mentioning it. That she did it for the rush, the adventure. His smile falters, but doesn't quite fall.]

What sort've adventure y'talkin'?

[He had told her that dating him would be akin to an adventure and now he's internally crossing his fingers that she still puts some stock in his claim. He'd much rather her enjoy his kind of adventure than go and get killed again.]

[Riley saw his smile falter, though he may have tried to hide it.]

Well I'm open to all kinds. Right now, I'm on a date adventure. Maybe later I'll enjoy a racing-deck adventure. An explore-the-maze adventure. Perhaps even a climb-the-temple-roof adventure.

[Speaking of which, she looks over to the temple down the field from them, quickly assessing the structure for handholds and such. It could be possible...]

Got any ideas?

Reply

conquistasal September 23 2010, 01:49:40 UTC
[Relieved, his smile strengthens again, as though he might laugh. Climb-the-temple-roof adventure sounds fun, actually... And between the two of them, with Sal's height and strength, it's definitely possible.]

I dunno, those all sound like pretty wild adventures, don' know if I can quite top 'em... Though we are on a picnic. Why don' y'have a sandwich adventure, yeah?

[He nods to the basket. He's not going to have one until Riley chooses one for herself. Maybe later there will be some kind of painting adventure or a kissing adventure, but he doesn't want to suggest those just yet.]
