She opens the door and looks at him, smiling..and realizes that she's been starting at him for several seconds, now. She looks away swiftly. "I'll be right with you, Asher - just have to get my shawl
( ... )
And while she is staring at him, Asher is positively transfixed upon the sight of Leela. The gown something she might wear at his side, something that would indeed inspire those around the District to respect whom and what she was
( ... )
She looks at him, astonished at what he had done, not only in such a place, but in such a short time. Stretching up - not nearly so short in those heels, not at all, she caresses the side of his cheek - fingers sliding over smooth skin as she gently kisses his lips.
"Disapointed Asher? Not even close. I am amazed, astounded, and absolutely delighted. There is nothing - no place in the nexus that would have meant more to me than this"
She turns her head, looks around, and up at the chandelier, then back at him. Kissing him again gently, lingering on those lips so soft and fine, smelling the sandalwood and musk scent so warm and desirable.
She steps away slowly, fingers lingering on his cheek for a moment, then gone. "Thank you Asher. Thank you so much. This is truly a magical night for me."
Unable to stop smiling, pleased his gift was so well received. Fairly purring at her touch, at the delight in her voice. For once feeling he has done right, is in the right moment, is... Himself. The Asher he had once known. Once been.
"I do hope I have done well with the menu. I... I did not know your likes or if you have any allergies but... I did my best, trying to remember what it was I once enjoyed.'
Bowing his head, toe actually scuffing over the grass.
"You are not going to be offended that I don't indulge, are you?"
She dropped the thank you note off at the museum, with a smile. They were starting to get used to her doing this by now.
Dear Asher,
The date was out of a dream. The night magical, and my partner was enchanting. Thank you for a night that will live forever in my memory.
Also. I heard this song, thought of - well, you, of us.. sp I wrote it up, as a gift to you.
Sincerely, and with great affection.
Leela
The song has been gracefully hand callig'ed on fine parchment paper, with vines and roses in a pattern illuminated down the side in the manner of fine medieval scripts. Gold leaf covers the first letter and highlights some of the vines.
