V-Day date with Faylen. Before Lazlo, after Euram. Before Second Sun.

: Shoon: *sitting at the same table as yesterday, only this time he has the rose to give away- if he liked his date. He hoped it went better than his date with Euram. Of course, it had too. Nothing can be worse than Euram.*

Faylen: ::in quite a good mood after her date with Roy, whether he knew it was one or not was besides the point. Walks happily into the café ready for a free meal off whoever her ‘date’ was, pauses before getting to the table::..Shoon?

Shoon: *looks up when he hears his name* Faylen?

Faylen: Hey! ::plops down in the chair opposite him:: Are you here for the datin’ thing too?

Shoon: *nods* I guess I'm you're date then.

Faylen: Oh cool! I was all worried after hearing ‘bout your first date. But this isn’t so bad. ::would’ve been better if he were Roy though::

Shoon: *grins* No, this is much better than Euram. *is very happy about this arangment* So, shall we order then?

Faylen: Yeah! Nothin’ sweet though…I think I’ve had enough of them for awhile…::picks up the menu:: Actual food is good today.

Shoon: You had date earlier today? *looks through the salad section*

Faylen: ::blushes and looks down:: Nah…nothin’ like that! I was just…l’ve been learning how to cook sweets and made a bunch of them all at once. I think I’m gonna have a sandwich today…ooh maybe some soup too…wait…who’s paying?

Shoon: I can, I get a discount here 'cause I work, and I have a lot of money saved up. *smiles at her than looks back at the menu* The soups are good, and I'm going to get a salad

Faylen: Oh yeah, I forgot you were working at the café too, just for a different boss. Well awesome thanks! ::closes menu:: Then I’m gonna have both!

Shoon: *closes his too and motions a waiter over and places his order*

Faylen: :;orders as well, then looks back at Shoon with a wide smile:: It’s nice ta have someone else take your order for once. Best part of work is not being there.

Shoon: *nods* Yeah. *pauses* So, what's up?

Faylen: ::shrugs:: Not too much. Like I said, learnin’ how to cook and stuff. It’s new to have ovens and a kitchen, the rules are different. What ‘bout you?

Shoon: Not much. Trying to walk and cary other people's meals are hard, but I haven't dropped anything yet.

Faylen: Hehe yeah it’s hard…but remember if it topples over or something on the tray you get to eat it! It wouldn’t be right to serve somethin’ to a customer that didn’t look perfect after all ::the rationalization of a filcher::

Shoon: Huh, I never thought of that.

Faylen: ::nods knowingly:: ‘Course ya gotta be careful, cause if it happens too much the boss ‘ll notice.

Shoon: *nods* Yeah, and Mamie has a sharp eye, and I think she has a temper. So I don't want to get on her bad side.

Faylen: Ugh yeah….good thing Watari hasn’t noticed yet…I think. But anyway! Didn’t you already have a job?

Shoon: I'm working two jobs. It doesn't leave me a lot of free time between work and training.

Faylen: Dang! Why are ya doing so much? Doesn’t your other job pay?

Shoon: It does! But I need the money.

Faylen: ::looks at him worried:: What for? Is everything ok?

Shoon: Everything's fine, but since I had to break the window I need money to fix it, and whatever else is ruined 'cause of the weather.

Faylen: Ooh…lucky for me I’m gonna make Roy pay to fix the door…well mostly. But he shoulda cause it was his idea to blow it up.

Shoon: Oh... How's living with him going?

Faylen: Hmm? It’s the same as always! We’ve always lived together…though it’s kinda weird without Faylon around.

Shoon: Really? It's not weird to live with a boy?
Shoon: that you're not related to?

Faylen: ::blushes again:: We don’t really think of it like that I mean..I know he’s a boy but he’s ROY and we’ve just always been together and…oh hey look the food!

Shoon: *takes his salad and soup and begins to eat* I guess it's just sounds weird to me. They always made sure men and women were separated in the arena.

Faylen: It’s not like no one made comments or anything…. ::takes a bite out of her sandwich and continues talking:: …I didn’t know they had girl gladiators too.

Shoon: Not as many. There wasn't any by the time of the war, but I remember growing up there were a few.

Faylen: Oh…I never knew much about it, growin’ up in Rainwall and all. I think people threatened us with it once or twice when they caught us takin’ stuff, but we didn’t take ‘em seriously. ::pauses in between bites::…..Do ya think about it a lot?

Shoon: Sometimes.

Faylen: I’m sorry ::scrunches up in her seat::…I didn’t mean to bring it up or anything.

Shoon: It's ok. *takes a drink* Umm... You know, I don't know a lot about you except you grew up in Rainwall. Or what happened to you after the war, other than you following Roy and helping him with his career.

Faylen: Well there’s not really that much to tell. ::relaxes back in her chair:: I mean…Roy and Faylon were always around and we did what we had to. And after the war…I figured it’d go back to that, but then Roy took off. ::shrugs::

Shoon: *nods* I see. *eats his salad in silence*

Faylen: ::eats quietly too:: ….. ::Awkward silence is awkward::

Shoon: Umm... So... *Awkward* It's your turn to ask something.

Faylen: You’re keeping track of who’s turn it is? ::giggles:: hmmmmm….who do ya wanna hit with a snowball?

Shoon: *blush* No! It's just... uh.... *decides to answer her other question instead* Um... I want to hit everyone with a snowball in a big snowball fight.

Faylen: Oo, that sounds like fun! We should start one! Tell everyone about it and then just let them fly!

Shoon: Yeah! It would be great!

Faylen: I wonder if Roy would want to…of course he would! This’s a great plan. Ok so…I asked a question does that make it your turn? ::giggle::

Shoon: Uh..... So, where'd you learn how to fight with a boomerang?

Faylen: I picked it up in Rainwall. There were a lot of fights on the streets and the dummy used to make sure I couldn’t actually get at ‘em…so I learned how to fight from being away!

Shoon: Roy's very protective of you isn't he?

Faylen: ::blush:: Well I was talkin’ about Faylon, but yeah I guess Roy can be sometimes…::sigh:: I just wish he’d stop treatin’ me like a kid.

Shoon: Oh. *takes a bite of his salad and thinks about this*

Faylen: So yeah…What about you? Did you always like claws?

Shoon: I don't use claws. I use cestus, though they can have studs in 'em that make 'em sorta like claws.

Faylen: Oh! Sorry…::blushes:: oh great now I look stupid.

Shoon: No, it's ok! It's a common mistake! *smiles* But yes, I do like using 'em. I'm not bad with a sword, but this made me a little more unique.

Shoon: Since most used swords and stuff like that.

Faylen: Well isn’t that dangerous? I mean…they used longer weapons so you had to get in closer…that’s not safe. You could have gotten hurt! ::pouting in mother hen mode::

Shoon: I'm too short for much else, and during my earlier days I did get hurt a lot. *lifts up his shirt and points to a scar along his left pectoral* This was the first stab wound I ever got. I was eight.

Faylen: Oww...::leans over the table to get a better look:: That looks like it was real painful. I got a few scars but none of them look that bad.

Shoon: Yeah, it was. *so causly, as he puts his shirt down* As I got better I got less scars. I got faster, and better, and able to duck under weapons or jump over them.

Faylen: Yeah well…it’s still dangerous! I know you’re a boy and everything but don’t be stupid and get yourself hurt.

Shoon: *just matter of factly* It was the weapon that came naturally to me. I'm ok with a sword, but I'm better with these. If I didn't take up these I would probably have more scars than I already do.

Faylen: I’m not talkin’ about the weapon I’m talking about being reckless and boy-like.

Shoon: I know how to fight smart. Melee fighters have to be really quick thinkers in order to stay alive and unhurt.

Faylen: Hey, are you saying that range fighters don’t? ::pout::

Shoon: *a little annoyed now* No, I'm saying you're not giving me enough credit. I chose the cestus because I'm good with it, I'm good with hand to hand, to fight with any other weapon would have been dumb for me.

Faylen: I’m not saying you’re not good. I’m sayin’ that I’m worried you’ll get hurt. I don’t want you to.

Shoon: *touched* I don't try to.

Faylen: Well duh…no one tries to. It just happens. So…be careful.

Shoon: I always am.

Faylen: ::Teasing:: oh yeah, then why do you got a scar? ::giggle::

Shoon: *small smile* Sometimes, I'm just not careful enough.

Faylen: See! That’s what I was saying ::sticks out her tongue::

Shoon: *rolls his eyes* Whatever. *finishes off the last bites of his meal*

Faylen: This was really fun. We should get food more often!

Shoon: *nods and takes out the rose and hands it to her* I think I'm suppose to give this to you if I had a good time.

Faylen: ::blushes and takes the rose:: Oh thanks..I don’t think I’ve ever gotten one of these before.

Shoon: *grins brilliantly at this* I've never given anyone one either.

Faylen: Thanks…I guess I should get going then. ::playing with rose::

Shoon: Um... Wait, I think there's one more thing I have to do.

Faylen: ::stops mid-standing:: Hmm?

Shoon: *blushing, walks over to her and leans up to kiss her on the cheek* I- I was told after a date you were suppose to kiss your date. *turns a little redder and looks at his boots*

Faylen: ::BEET RED:: Oh…um…Bye. ::starts walking away::

Shoon: *small wave* Bye.
