▓ Martini 12 ▓ // You were walking home that night, too kind to be illusive.. [In Person]

[After getting the message to Light at the Valentine's ball, he was, as promised in the letter, lingering around the Basilica San Marco that evening. He was dressed relatively smart, just his leather jacket over an untucked dress shirt and well worn jeans. But hey, he worked that look like a bawss. Everything was set, the festivities still in full

[Light is sick to death of this week. He isn't even sure why he's bothering to show up at the Basilica as Wallace requested. Humoring other people was never very high on Light's list of things to do. But whatever Wallace had planned, he reasons, certainly couldn't be worse than that disastrous double date Misa had insisted on that ended with him in the goddamn Adriatic. He needed fresh air. This was merely a perfect excuse. He turns the corner and blinks. Well isn't this all... picturesque.]

So.

[Getting up from the bench Wallace gives him a friendly smile and pat to the shoulder.]

Ah, awesome, I was beginning to think you weren't gonna show.

[Subtly he keeps his hand on Light's upper back and begins leading him to one of the drinks stands.]

Whatcha having? I'll buy.

Do you really think I would be so cruel? I'm hurt.

[Never mind the fact that Light had in fact been considering that very thought earlier today. Not necessarily to slight Wallace, but because sleeping off the rest of the week had become an appealing idea.]

I suppose I might accept your offer of water provided it wasn't spiked with, oh I don't know, love potion. ...Not that I'm suggesting you would do that, but I'm not putting it past the Author.

[Wallace chuckles and raises a brow.]

Then I guess we're even finally.

She hasn't done anything to the drinks from what I've been able to tell. it's pretty safe, otherwise I'd be making grabby hands at a helluvah lot more people.
