[date time! finally...]
Lucas has not been putting this whole date thing off at all. This should be the first fact to be noted even if it can't really be expressed in any manner aside from verbally. He hasn't been putting it off but he has been being extremely nervous about it while waiting for a time to open up. Tonight would be the first night that has actually been entirely open. Where open means that there's an art show at which he has been charged with acting as his family's sole representative. He doesn't particularly like the idea of taking Meg to any function at which he would run the risk of having to actually make her suffer through his family, particularly Meresin or Cooper.
Anyway, the point is that there is a Lucas currently in search of a Meg. He's rather dressed up, the whole suit-and-tie deal, impeccably tailored in solid black aside from the charcoal grey of his shirt. After all, it takes too much effort to be sure that any colour he might wear wouldn't clash with his hair and even if he doesn't plan to hang around the show any longer than absolutely necessary, he still wants to make a good impression on anyone who might be picking him out of the crowd. Not to mention the fact that it's also always nice to make a good impression on a certain girl.
