Court - Balfour and King's date

[blueeyedflyboy]

 [It was about five 'til eight when Balfour knocked on King's door, a small batch of daisies and some cheap wine in hand.

When the door opened, Balfour blushed.]

Hi...

Comments

[gabutyra]

Ah, you're on time! Come in!

[ he's stepping back a bit so there's enough room to let you in ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Another small smile and Balfour slips by, offering up the flowers and wine.]}

I'm sorry about the wine; it was all I could get. Do you need anything else, or shall I start dinner?

[gabutyra]

Thanks. This wine is probably better than prison wine so I think we're good.

Just head that way to the kitchen.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Prison wine? Balfour blinks, startled at that, and wonders what he's gotten himself into. He did as he was told, passing by King to the kitchen to pop open the wine and air it.]}

I've heard of this kind; it's absolutely nasty unless it's been aired and it's warm.

_{[He dives right in, washing his hands and prepping the area before beginning to chop up the meat.]}

[gabutyra]

Ohh, you're good at this.

[ he's totally watching, impressed ]

I used to work as a cook in the kitchen of a prison.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Ahh, I see. _{[he grins.]} My brother taught me to cook when I was a boy. A lot of my fondest memories of him are of when we were in the kitchen. It shouldn't be too long until it's done.

[gabutyra]

Then I'm glad you're the one cooking.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Do you like to cook?

[gabutyra]

I like to do a lot of things. I've had loads of part time jobs that dabble in almost everything.

[blueeyedflyboy]

I've...really only had one job, but as a kid, I would have liked to become a medic, but I ended up flying in my brother's place instead.

[gabutyra]

Flying?

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[He arches his eyebrow, then grins and nods.]}

On a metal dragon.

[gabutyra]

That sounds really fun! When Minityra is Gabutyra, sometimes he lets me ride him around.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Ah, that must be lovely. Anastasia was...well, she was built for war, but she was a lot like a big sister to me.

[gabutyra]

I wish I could meet her.

[blueeyedflyboy]

I wish she were here. Tell me about Minityra?

[gabutyra]

I can show you!

[ he whistles and a tiny robotic dinosaur appears, jumping around happily ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

Oh! How lovely!

_{[Balfour coos and leans closer to the robot dinosaur.]}

He's absolutely adorable!

[gabutyra]

He's definitely a ladykiller.

[blueeyedflyboy]

I'm sure he is. Anastasia would have found him quite adorable as well.

<sub>[He misses his dragon, okay?

He reaches his hand toward Minityra.]</sub>

It's very nice to meet you. I'm Balfour.

[gabutyra]

[ minityra jumps up and nuzzles against your hand ]

He likes meeting new humans.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_[vibrating]

My goodness, he's friendly!

_{[He turned back to his preparation, grabbing another knife for the vegetables.]}

What's your favorite kind of food?

[gabutyra]

Meat!

[blueeyedflyboy]

Prepared how?

[gabutyra]

Middle ground works best.
