::Luci had been (amazingly) ready on time. She looked... like... this! tonight... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IJrI0QtzEaQ/SsOdPD_4rXI/AAAAAAAABII/LypgViTbqYs/s400/charlize_theron.jpg ::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:16:16 PM)
*smiles, walking in with Luci, finely dressed, an immensely pleased look on his face as he holds the door for her* Again, Mlle, you look immaculate...
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:17:03 PM)
::she grins, kissing his cheek lightly as she passes by him, walking in:: You keep telling me that, and I will puff like a peacock...
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:18:38 PM)
*smiles, and has the waiter show them to their reserved booth* My dear, I'm only telling you the truth. A rose by any other name would have to be named after you.
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:19:39 PM)
::she smiles:: The Lucinde Rose... it -does- have a certain ring... ::she winks and she walks with him, her steps graceful as she does::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:20:47 PM)
*taking her hand, he helps her to her seat in the booth before slipping into the other side, enjoying the way the candle light plays across her features* Would you like a wine tonight my dear?
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:23:16 PM)
::she slips her hand in his, sitting down, her long legs crossing, and she nods:: Oui, that sounds nice... I like red. ::she winks to him::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:25:33 PM)
*smiles, and orders a nice crisp red wine for them both, something quite lovely from the waiter when he comes by with the menus, and to ask about drinks*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:27:25 PM)
::she grins and then glances to the menu, closing it after a brief moment and she rests her hands in her lap::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:27:54 PM)
*smiles, and looks to Luci* Do you know what you'd like to eat, my dear?
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:29:13 PM)
::she nods:: Oui, jes fame. ::she grins:: How about you?
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:31:58 PM)
*smiles* The angel hair pasta with seafood sounds heavenly... *looks to the waiter as he arrives and puts in his order, looking to Luci after he finishes* And what would you like as well, Mlle?
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:35:08 PM)
::she laughs:: That's what I was getting! ::she shakes her head, giving him a teasing nudge as she looks to the waiter:: I will have the linguine with white clam sauce, si vous plait.
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:36:33 PM)
*smiles and winks to her, nudging back lightly* I tell you what, Mlle, you can have some of mine.
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:37:28 PM)
::she grins:: I will share as well..
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:38:33 PM)
*smiles and nods* Sounds wonderful. *And the waiter departs with their orders, ensuring the kitchen makes them perfectly (had called ahead making quite sure of it)*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:38:52 PM)
::she tilts her head:: Did you test anything fun today?
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:39:37 PM)
*smiles and shakes his head* No, just finished up some tests, so I was able to get out of work early.
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:42:11 PM)
Out of work early, hmm? And what did you do with all that glorious time off? ::perking an eyebrow::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:43:05 PM)
*smiles* well, that boquet you liked earlier had to be picked up... *winks*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:48:10 PM)
::she grins, and she leans in, kissing his cheek:: Oui, and it's beautiful...
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:49:08 PM)
*smiles, and kisses her back on the cheek as well* I'm glad you approve, I didn't know exactly what you wanted, so I hoped it was up to par... (doesn't know her favorite)
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:49:32 PM)
(laughs, nope)
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:50:18 PM)
::she smiles:: There is no par. If it makes you feel better.. you are the first man to bring me flowers in a while. They are lovely, merci...

Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:54:15 PM)
*frowns slightly at that* Are you serious, Mlle? Noone has brought such a vision of beauty an offering of flowers in some time? Why not?
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:56:00 PM)
I am quite serious. ::she smiles to him:: And I do not know why. ::she shrugs:: I am not upset... it makes it all the more pleasing when I do receive them.

*a man walks up with a black box and a purple ribbon.*
Waiter (Jun 29, 2010 10:57:03 PM)
*he looks like a waiter*
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:57:27 PM)
(hence the green name, I assume? Does he have what Taylor would have called ahead for?)
Waiter (Jun 29, 2010 10:57:50 PM)
((I just walked in and its ironic timing))
Waiter (Jun 29, 2010 10:58:01 PM)
*he walks over towwards Taylor*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 10:58:12 PM)
::she smiles:: Now you are spoiling me.. again. I'm noticing a trend, Taylor.
Waiter (Jun 29, 2010 10:59:00 PM)
*he offers tthe ribboned box out to Luci*
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 10:59:20 PM)
(heh) *winks to Luci, and smiles to the waiter* Ah, good timing, thank you Sir.
Waiter (Jun 29, 2010 10:59:56 PM)
*he smiles a taylor and says* all in the training, sir.
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:00:54 PM)
::she blinks, and her hands move from her lap, as she accepts the box, looking curiously between the waiter and Taylor::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 11:01:32 PM)
*smiles* Well, go on, Mlle...
Waiter (Jun 29, 2010 11:01:56 PM)
*the waiter wearing kid gloves clasps his hands together, half bows nad steps back*
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 11:02:10 PM)

(waits for Luci to open the package)
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:08:29 PM)
::Luci looks curiously to Taylor, the waiter, the exchange, and then the box...and Taylor again. Long elegant fingers gently tug at the ribbon, coaxing it untied, as she lifts the lid and peeks inside, curiously::
A Single Rose (Jun 29, 2010 11:08:43 PM)
*The box was very light, when she opens it. Sitting in there she sees a long steam of a flower. Tracing up the steam it is perfectly crafted green steam with two leaves a single thorn place no where were a hand would nornally go on the flower. The steam is this idealized peice of perfection. The bud itself is a marvelously crafted thing. Each leave perfectly whrithered into wrinkled husk of what use to be red leaves, now are black, pitch as coal.*
A Single Rose (Jun 29, 2010 11:09:18 PM)
*a note attached to the rose*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:10:12 PM)
::Luci tilted her head, curiously, green eyes flashing to Taylor a moment, before she looked to the note::
A Single Rose (Jun 29, 2010 11:10:46 PM)
*written in calligraphy in black in For: T. Valos*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:11:08 PM)
(.... does the calligraphy look familiar?)
A Single Rose (Jun 29, 2010 11:11:19 PM)
((no.))
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:11:26 PM)

Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:11:46 PM)
::Luci looks to Taylor, a bit confused:: I think... this is for you? ::brow furrowed::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 11:13:35 PM)
*he frowns, looking quite confused* What? I had ordered sweets.... *looks to see where the "waiter" is, if he's still in sight*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:14:01 PM)
(does the flower look similar to the ones that Gracie gave her?)
A Single Rose (Jun 29, 2010 11:14:44 PM)
((yes, but in better shape. The ones she gave you were whither. This like a crafts 5 rose... compared to a crafts 2))
A Single Rose (Jun 29, 2010 11:14:54 PM)
*the waiter type man was actually talign to a violin player for another couple, he seemed to have a box in hand, looked liek for an engagement ring*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:15:54 PM)
::Luci placed the box on the table for Taylor, a bit confused still, as she looked over to the waiter curiously::

A waiter (Jun 29, 2010 11:17:11 PM)
*the waiter moved with the violin player ontowards a candle lit table. As the violinist played, the woman was distracted. The waiter handed the man the box. The man got down on one knee and proposed*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:17:37 PM)
::Luci watched and grinned, happy to see such a thing::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 11:18:25 PM)
*he sighs, and flags down one of the other waiters, asking what happened, that there must have been a mix up from his previous order*
A waiter (Jun 29, 2010 11:19:50 PM)
*the waiter singals for one of the other men in kid gloves. The man asks for the box, taking it he takes out a black light pen abnd runs it over the corner of the box. Letters appear Valos, and then time of the reservation or when this was phoned in..* Sir, I assure you this is the right box.. I am not sure what happened... let me go seee if there was some mix up else where..
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 11:20:28 PM)

*he nods* again my apologizes... *he backs away from the table but pauses* do you want me to take this away? *the woman was in tears and said yes, the man slipped the ring on. Another waiter brought over a feel bottle of champagne to the table for the couple*

*the second kid gloved waiter ndos and backs away. The violinist remans and the first kid glvoed watier, the one that gave the box is signaled over... they both depart to look at something in the back*
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:25:04 PM)
::Luci watches the waiters, eyes going over each of them, going over their faces, noting them::
Taylor Valos (Jun 29, 2010 11:25:42 PM)
*he sighs, reaching a hand across the table to Luci* I'm sorry about that, Mlle... I don't know why...
Lucinde Duboir (Jun 29, 2010 11:27:15 PM)
::she slips her hand into his, looking slightly distracted as she follows the waiters, then looks to him, smiling:: Don't be sorry, it was a lovely surprise... Merci... you are full of them, it seems.. ::she winks::
