(one sec, stirring and serving myself dinner)

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:12:49 PM)
(alright think i might get my laptop alteast set up so i can switch over later)

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:21:30 PM)
::the art gallery was down near the French Quarter, lots of windows and lights, the inside clearly visible, like looking into a dollhouse. Kaia was downstairs, walking on the hardwood floors, her height and silver hair made her difficult to miss. She looks statuesque, her silver hair swept up, large soft curls on her head, tendrils falling down artfully here and there. A red rose was caught in her hair, striking against the light silver. She had on this dress. ... http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Dresses/Glimmer+Like+Gold+Dress , with a pair of black peeptoe heels, making her even taller than normal. She was speaking with a man, smiling as she shook her head, looking amused::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:28:53 PM)
*Mark stands outside the window for sometime watching her and working up the nerve to go inside. He had been on edge the entire day still not sure about any of this. He had spent the better part of the day talking with Bastian about a few things and now he was just standing there watching here work. He had alteasted changed from his normal attire expecting that she would want to go some place decent to eat and not out of a box. *

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:31:33 PM)
sorry

(opps)

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:31:43 PM)
(giggles)

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:34:28 PM)
::Kaia nodded to the man, handing him her card and gave him a wave, as she moved back towards a slim desk, speaking with a guy briefly. He made some kind of joke and a flamboyant movement with his hand, as he laughed, and she giggled, shaking her head. Her head came up and she glanced at the few people in the gallery, as she tapped her foot::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:36:40 PM)
*Mark watches as she easily interacts with people and her joyous nature she always seemed to be smiling. Stepping inside the gallery he moves quietly around looking a few pieces keeping her in sight just barely out of the corner of his eye with his back mostly to her, pretty sure she wouldn't recogonize him in this get up.*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:41:21 PM)
::she was still laughing lightly as she talked, quietly, to not disturb any patrons, speaking with the man at the desk, who was leaning back, wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt of all things. He was gesturing at something on his phone, and speaking quietly about it, shaking his head in disbelief. Kaia was just smiling, and shifting on her feet a bit, at least 6 feet at this point, she had her arms crossed as she relaxed, still standing. A patron raised his hand, obviously having a question about a wooden piece, and Kaia moved to greet him, as charming as possible, she explained about the piece and the artist, which wasn't her.... she was helping another not there tonight. She walked gracefully, a subtle sway to her hips, as she did, in her element tonight::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:44:32 PM)
*moves to counter her crossing the room so that he can watch her for just a few more moments before letting her know he was there his movments do bring him closer to the guy she was talking to just moments earlier.* ~whispered~ She's really something huh... *said to the guy in jeans*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:45:41 PM)
::the man put his feet down from the other chair he was sprawled in and looks up to Mark, raising a brow:: Who? Kaia? Yeah, she's loads of fun.... You... know her? ::looking suspiciously to Mark::

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:47:11 PM)
::Kaia, in the meantime, was involved in an animated conversation with the man about the lines of the piece, and different perspectives on the lines of the piece::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:47:38 PM)
*offers a charming smile to the guy and just nods his head as he moves very quietly across the room to stand a few feet behind her as to not interupt any transaction she might be involved in with the customer*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:52:26 PM)
::the guy watches Mark, raising his brows and shaking his head, putting his feet back up on the seat as soon as he's gone and looking back at his phone, a bored look on his face. Kaia's heels clicked as she flicked a card for the gallery, not her own, writing a few things down for the customer carefully, as she smiles to him, handing it over:: They'll be in tomorrow, around 10... you can meet her then. ::the man nodded, thanking her, then disappearing. Kaia glanced around again, noting Mark... she did a second take, not expecting the suit:: Mark?

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:53:37 PM)
*chuckles quietly* Your not the only one who can clean up ya know. But I do have to say you really do clean up nice.

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:56:00 PM)
I didn't think you would want me showing up in my jeans and work boots plus I figured this way people wouldn't go running for the hills right off if they got too close ya know. Though after meeting your employee *looks over at the guy with his feet up and in jeans* I guess it really wouldn't have mattered if i did show up in jeans huh.

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 10:57:47 PM)
::she smiles:: You just see me when I've been working... I'm at the gallery every couple of days though for a shift... and I feel I should look professional... ::she falters, speaking softly:: Michael... is pouting about being here... he should be looking better. He looks like shit. ::frowning a bit as she looks to him, and she smiles:: I brought my jeans to change into... if you swang by. ::she raises a brow:: You had something to ask me?

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 10:59:48 PM)
I do have something that I would like to talk to you about but I don't really think this is the place... if you were getting off soon we could go for a walk or something if you liked? *she could now see the nervousness returning on him*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:02:18 PM)
::she looks him over in his suit, appraisingly, and she smiles a bit, smoothing the lapel of his suit over a crease that only a woman would see:: Must be important if you dressed up.... I'll meet you outside in a moment. ::she moved back over to Michael, bending over slightly to whisper to him and he eyeballed Mark around her, then shrugged and nodded, and Kaia slipped to an office, disappearing inside briefly::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:05:13 PM)
*looks down at where she adjusted his lapel and wonders what was wrong with it, looks the same as it did 10 seconds ago, he watches her for a moment longer before eyeing the guy after she heads to the office and then he slips outside as to put some space between him and any other customers remaining inside. Once outside he would be pacing with his hands inside his pockets*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:06:49 PM)
::it was a few moments, but Kaia had her bag, and her heels clicked on the wooden floor, as she waved to Michael, heading on her way out of the place. She walked comfortably in her heels and dress, as though used to wearing them::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:09:03 PM)
*turning as he hears the door open and seeing her he gives her a genuine smile* So where would you like to go?

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:09:51 PM)
::she grins:: Do you eat sushi? ::watching him carefully for a genuine reaction::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:10:58 PM)
*nods* Fish is good for you and is generally not fattening. *chuckles as he realizes what he just said* Yes sushi is fine.

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:12:45 PM)
::she nods:: There's a cute little place around the corner.. they have good rolls and we... can sit outside... not likely to be disturbed... ::she paused a moment:: Orrrrrr.... I can grab us some rolls to-go and we can sit in the little park?

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:13:34 PM)
*nods* Yeah the might be better, wouldn't want to be kicked out for casuing a disturbance or something *grins*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:13:59 PM)
::she smiles:: What's your sushi poison?

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:14:40 PM)
You choose I am sure it will be alright....

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:14:55 PM)
as long as it doesn't have chocolate or something on it *grins*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:16:16 PM)
::she wrinkles her nose:: Ick... waste of good fish... :she nods to him:: Meet you in the park.. ::she looks across the street and then began to move across the street, half-jogging in those high heels, it was a small miracle that women could do that when pressed, and she moved to disappear a few stores down::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:18:02 PM)
*Mark watches her as she jogs down the street in the dress and can't help but stand there dumbly admiring her before shaking his head as to clear it and then moving over to the park being sure to pick a space that was away from anyone and where they could sit and eat*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:20:27 PM)
::she disappeared behind a wooden door, and was gone for at least 15 minutes, no sight nor sound of her, she had vanished without. After a little bit, she emerged, with a paperbag in her hand, moving a bit slower than she had before, moving across the street, jaywalking with confidence as she walked, heading towards the little park::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:23:45 PM)
*sits on a park bench picking the bark off a fallen branch as he waits.. occassionally looking up to see if she was coming yet.. looking at his watch a few times while he waits.*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:30:34 PM)
(sorry for the delay, I'm absolutely -freezing-. I have on a t-shirt, pj pants, a sweater socks, -and- a big huge blanket)

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:30:50 PM)
(lol)

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:32:08 PM)
::Kaia's heels announced her before she was in sight, looking around the little park before spotting Mark, carrying the bag carefully, holding it triumphantly:: He made it fresh! ::grinning at the simple pleasures::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:34:04 PM)
*smiles at her as she approaches and laughs lightly when she anounces her triumpant* Well I guess he couldn't say no to you now could he *moves over to make room for her and the food*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:36:57 PM)
::she smiles and sits down, looking to him:: Plenty of people tell me no... ::said like he's just being silly, and she put the paper bag between them on the bench, crossing long legs, as she starts to look in the bag, and pulls out two little cups of styrofoam containers, and then digging into the bag again, pulling out two large containers, each with a spicy dragon roll and a rainbow roll, wasabi and ginger there, along with two pairs of chopsticks.:: We feast....

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:37:26 PM)
::inside the little containers is some hot miso soup, and Kaia pulled hers out, inhaling the fragrance happily, before sipping::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:40:06 PM)
*chuckes* Some how I just find that hard to belive *takes the offered meal and holds it in his hands for a moment or two watching her as she starts to eat* think this is the first time I have seen you eat anything other then an apple or chocolate *grins, then takes the chopsticks and gently tries to pick up a spicy dragon roll, it takes several attempts before he gives up and just uses them like a fork and stabs the roll*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:42:58 PM)
::she laughs:: I -do- have a healthy appetite... why do you think I work out so much? ::she sips her soup, and watches him as he tries to fight the sushi, and then stabs it... and she shakes her head, looking to him, she sets her soup down:: Oh... come here... ::she reaches and sets her hands on his, showing him how to hold the chopsticks, as she holds his hand properly, and pushes it gently to the sushi:: Now...move this finger... like that... and.... Poot! There.... you have a piece of sushi.. ::helping him hold the piece, sound effects and all::

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:45:30 PM)
*the look of pure concentration while she tries to teach him out to use chopsticks and then assists him in getting the sushi in his mouth is almost priceless* So how was work?

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:48:35 PM)
::she grins, watching him to make sure he wasn't going to flop sushi in his lap... remembering the suit, she unfolds a napkin gently, and tucks it into his suit, to avoid spilling, and she lays one across her lap, as she takes out her sushi, scraping her chopsticks together in deft movements of her fingers, and then beginning to use the little wooden sticks with absolute confidence and surety:: It was alright. I am only at the gallery for a few hours... all of the artists need to be there a few times a week... and we take turns being the on-call person for security or management issues, after hours. It was alright, I sold 2 pieces, and have a few commissions to work on. What about you? What did you do today?

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:51:17 PM)
*finishes his piece of sushi not realizing just how spicy it was going to be, he then took a big swig of the soup only to remember too late that she said it was fresh which meant scolding hot, which took every bit of restraint he had to not spray it all over the place then answering her in a horase voice* Nothing much talked with Bastian and worked out.

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:52:29 PM)
::watching him, she didn't giggle, but there was a smile and she reached into her bag and brought out a bottle of water, handing it to him, putting one out for her as well. ::

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:52:43 PM)
You and Bastian talk about pack stuff?

Mark Renner (Oct 26, 2010 11:54:16 PM)
*takes the offered water finishing off half of it before he even dared speak again* No we talked about family stuff and about his wedding coming up. *breaths out through pursed lips trying to cool his tongue off*

Kaia Skaare (Oct 26, 2010 11:55:41 PM)
Ahh the wedding... I still need to pick up my dress... ::popping some of the spicy sushi in her mouth with no problem, even adding some wasabi as well, chewing happily, but she eyes him:: Do you want to trade my rainbow roll for your dragon roll... if it's too spicy?
