A smirk surfaced at his commentary and she grinned over to him. "Indeed, it does have that potential." As he was refilling his glass, she was finishing hers and she reached over to take the bottle when he was done so she could refill her glass as well. "Though, I suppose we will have to wait to see where that potential leads, hm?"

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 9:19:25 PM)
Well of course. So much potential remains unrealized; wasted and flushed down the drain for all the promise it once held. A tragedy really; I'm only glad that I don't subscribe to tragedies. *he reloads his plate with another round of food; only idlely nibbling at it this time, as the edge has been taken off his hunger*

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 9:25:15 PM)
Dark eyes watched him for a moment before she reached to her plate to finish off the last of what was on there. "Tragedies are what they are. You can either wallow in them or move beyond them. There's really no point in wallowing in them, though. Not from my perspective, anyway. It's a waste of time and energy better spent doing other things."

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 9:26:30 PM)
I agree, my sweet...*grinning at her* Moreover, tragedies are for other people that like that sort of thing. As for me? I've decided I no longer believe in tragedy, so I won't have to deal with them.

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 9:33:34 PM)
"I'd say that's a pretty solid philosophy you have adopted there. If you don't believe in them, they can't exist." She gave something of a nod before reaching over to take a few more pieces of cheese for her plate--she never ate -that- much, so she was already starting to feel full from the meal. "So what do you do when something unfortunate happens to you?"

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 9:35:05 PM)
Nothing bad ever happens to me, so it works out rather well. *grinning at her* You see, reality is what you expect it to be, and it's simply impossible for bad things to happen to me.

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 9:39:28 PM)
The grin was returned just before she took a small bite of a piece of cheese, following that with a sip from her glass. "So, because you don't believe in tragedy or bad circumstances, they simply do not happen to you. Interesting." Leaning back just slightly, she raised her glass once more for another taste of the wine.

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 9:41:32 PM)
Well it's worked so far, so I don't think I'll stop believing in it now. What about you, sweetness? You believe in tragedies? *plucking out an idle piece of carnitas and popping it into his mouth*

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 9:47:06 PM)
"I do believe they happen, but I make a choice not to let them affect me as much as I am able. As I said, I choose not to wallow in them." Of course, that was not to say she was without her own issues, but that was neither here nor there, and he didn't need to be that close to her.

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 9:49:46 PM)
What sort of tragedies? You don't really have the look that comes with tragic upbringings.

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 9:52:17 PM)
A slow smile spread across her lips. "Well, Mr. Barajas, that would be because I choose not to appear that way. If I appeared like some tragic case, you would likely not be here with me now."

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 9:56:02 PM)
Now that's not necessarily true. After all, there's still your body to contend with....*gesturing towards her hourglass figure, his fingers accidentally brushing against her arm with the motion* But you might have had to settle for a steak dinner and a movie.

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 9:59:38 PM)
*after a lengthy pause, he grins again* And I might have made you pay for it.

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 10:00:20 PM)
"Ah, but my body may not have ended up this way had I allowed tragedy to overtake me." Eyes flickered down toward his hand briefly when she felt the brush, but then travelled back up to his eyes with an amused grin. "I'm certainly glad I haven't had to 'settle' for a steak dinner and a movie. This is far more entertaining out here."

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 10:02:26 PM)
Plus it's far more difficult to be disturbed out here. While I don't mind a crowded bar when I'm out in search of fun, once I've found it, I absolutely ~hate~ getting interrupted. And restaurants are notorious for interruptions. At the very least, you'll get some screaming little infant that shouldn't be out of the womb, let alone in a fine dining establishment.

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 10:09:36 PM)
"Well, there is certainly that little potential distraction, which has detracted from many a conversation before for me, at least. BUt that is generally what the hotel rooms are for. To avoid the distraction and enjoy the privacy." She smiled a bit to him. "Though I have to say, out here is far more private than any hotel room."

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 10:24:41 PM)
True enough. Only have to share it with stars and crickets. And I don't mind that sort of company. *he slowly unties his shoes, and kicks them off, pulling off his socks and setting those aside neatly in the corner. Heaving himself to his feet he smiles at her and offers her his hand* So tell me, Miss Naomi....do you dance?

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 10:30:41 PM)
"Nor do I." She smiled over to him, watching for a moment as he untied his shoes before turning her attention upward to see the stars beyond the glowing firelight. She finished off the second glass of wine, looking over to him as he stood and offered his hand. A smile surfaced and she slid her hand into his, rising from her seat. "I dance a little, though I would hardly call myself a 'dancer'. I at least can follow a lead."

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 10:32:16 PM)
Then would you do yourself the pleasure of giving me this dance, my luscious love muffin?

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 10:34:11 PM)
(going to get slow for the next hour or so; just a warning)

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 10:35:13 PM)
She tossed her head back in a laugh at the newest name he used. "I would love to, Mr. Barajas. What kind of dance shall this be, since we have no music?"

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 10:35:25 PM)
[Poke me on AIM when you post =) ]

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 10:41:54 PM)
No music? *grinning at her* Oh my dear, you sell me short......*he leans over and pulls out a cordless docking station and sets his phone on it, pressing play as music begins to well up from the speakers.* I wouldn't forget something so vital as that.

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 10:46:12 PM)
A quieter laugh came, then and she stood back as he set up the docking station and phone. "You really do think of everything, don't you?" She grinned faintly at him as she stepped closer now that the music was playing. He may not need the ego boost, but she was also one to generally give credit where credit is due.

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 11:23:14 PM)
Well I try to at the very least. Well for first dates....I make no promises as to the second one, of course. *kicking aside the blanket and the food trays to give them room to dance. One hand clasps hers while the other falls around her waist; pressing her up against his body* And who doesn't love dancing, anyhow

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 11:27:57 PM)
She chuckled quietly at what he said. "I promise I will try not to get my hopes up, so I will be pleasantly surprised regardless. This -would- be a little difficult to top. You went to a lot of trouble for this one." Stepping up to him, one hand slid up onto his shoulder while the other rest with his.

Anthony S Barajas (May 9, 2011 11:30:00 PM)
Hardly trouble....It's never trouble when it's enjoyable. Trouble is for people that toil at unenjoyable tasks. This one... well it's pure pleasure. *Beginning to sway and twist to the music, slowly at first, to make sure they both have footing on the rock....though the bare feet help*

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 11:33:41 PM)
She was able to keep up with the dance easily enough and not step on his toes--literally. "I suppose that's one way to look at it. However, it was an effort regardless of how you want to look at it. Has it been worth it for you thus far, Mr. Barajas?"

Do I have a look of disappointment and regret on my face, my dear? Not in the slightest, every moment with you has been a pure slice of heaven. *pausing for a moment, before continuing the dance* Well perhaps not heaven as I imagine that is rather dull and boring. Far more exciting than that.

Takahashi Midori (May 9, 2011 11:48:43 PM)
Lips curved upward and she swayed with him, seeming to enjoy the evening and the company. "You, sir, are quite the sweet talker when you want to be, aren't you?" Her hand curled around his shoulder a bit more with the rhetorical question. "And, just think, the night isn't even over yet."
