Where: The Botanical Gardens - Then the roof of the Academy.
When: Pre-Lockdown. (i.e. 2 days ago)
Who: Tulio & Esmeralda (OPEN for thread-crashing once they get up on the roof.)
What:
Tulio's just trying to show a girl a good time.Warnings: Tulio might get castrated by thread-crashers, but beyond some romantic gestures and suave lines there won't be much to warn about.
He couldn't bring Esmeralda to Spain, he didn't know the areas off campus and the dining commons were too... well... common! What was a man with a romantic heart to do? Bring Spain to Esmeralda, of course!
He had led her to the large Botanical Gardens, presenting their 'restaurant' with a proud sweep of his hand. "My lady, I present you with Spain!"
If Esmeralda had been to the gardens before she'd know that this area normally housed benches to sit on to view the incredible selection of flowers. The benches had been moved away and replaced with a small table and two chairs instead. A yellow cloth, with a bold red line running down the middle, was on the table - topped with two yellow candles in a small candelabra.
There was a man standing near the flowers who smoothly began to strum the guitar, a slow romantic Spanish melody, after Tulio spoke. If Esmeralda looked under his hat she'd probably recognize him to be one of the vendors in the Dining commons.
He walked her to the table and even held out the chair for her, that suave smile wide on his face. "Or... the closest I could get." As cool as he played it there was an excitement in his big blue eyes - he was hoping she liked it.
