Daniel: Well in my experience.... assholes tend to prey on someone if they're insecure about something.... anything at all...... That can't apply to you of course I mean..... you're so beautiful and funny and insightful.... I'd find it hard to believe that you're insecure about anything.

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 8:57 pm

Nathalie: Insecure is where I live, Daniel. I mean, you've seen my sister...my nieces. Most men would be drooling to get to know them...and I'd be...less then chopped liver.

...wait...did you...say I was beautiful?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:00 pm

Daniel: Yes I did..... if you want to be technical...... you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life...... and I can't believe I just said that on a first date.....

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:12 pm

Nathalie: You're...you've got to be kidding, Daniel. I'm just pretty average. I mean...you saw Jillian...I'm so not that...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:14 pm

Daniel: Jillian's a good looking lady for sure.....in her own way....... but you're spectacular.

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:17 pm

Nathalie blushes like mad, but doesn't say anything. "God, I hope he's not too good to be true....or too good for me..."

Nathalie: ....thank you...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:24 pm

Daniel: No need to thank me for telling the truth beautiful.

He sees her blush and smiles.

....red's a good colour on you.

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:31 pm

Nathalie: I've been told that before. I just...recently took red out of my hair for my job, actually...

Nathalie shakes her head...

Nathalie: I've been so insensitive. This isn't just about me. Tell me a little more about yourself, Daniel.

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:45 pm

Daniel: Not that much to tell really. I'm a pretty ordinary guy. 35. Artist by trade, corporate artist by necessity. I live alone in my little studio flat.... yes I know I'm a walking stereotype. I'm the kinda guy who would attempt to rebuild a car.... while having no practical mechanical knowledge.... partly for fun.....partly because he wanted a nice car but was flat broke.

.... what else would you like to know?

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:47 pm

Nathalie: Well...if we're laying the cards on the table...why someone so...put together like you...would find interest in someone like me...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:59 pm

Daniel: Why wouldn't I be? I mean you're incredibly beautiful.... as I've noted..... You're obviously very intelligent...... you're not afraid to pursue your interests.... which in turn makes you lead a very interesting life.....you make me laugh.

..... and most importantly I enjoy spending time with you.

You're incredibly well put together yourself Nathalie.... whether you choose to believe it or not.

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:04 pm

Nathalie: It's not that...I don't...choose to...heh. No one's ever said that about me. It's just...so nice to hear...

Nathalie looks up...

Nathalie: Is...this the place?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:07 pm

Daniel: Yup.... here we are.....

He exits the car and runs around to open Nathalie's door for her.

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:15 pm

Nathalie slowly gets out of the car and slips her hand around Daniel's elbow...

Nathalie: Lead the way...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:27 pm

Daniel leads Nathalie into the lit bar of Dans La Noir where they are met by a blind greeter.

Greeter: Hello..... Do you have a reservation?

Daniel: Yes.... Marshall Table for two.

The greeter reads the braille reservation book.

Greeter: Of course.... please enjoy a cocktail at the bar while we prepare your table.

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:32 pm

Nathalie: It's...totally dark inside. I thought the lights were just...dimmed or something...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:35 pm

Daniel: Oh yes.... completely pitch-black..... that's why all of the waiting staff are blind.

....You don't even know what you're ordering.... you just pick a colour from the menu....

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:40 pm

Nathalie looks excited...

Nathalie: This should be awesome. I'm really glad we came here.

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:42 pm

Daniel smiles.

Daniel: I had a feeling you'd appreciate taking a step into the unknown.

....can I get you a drink?

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:48 pm

Nathalie: Oh, Daniel...at least allow me to pay for the drinks. It's the least I can do...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:50 pm

Daniel smiles.

Daniel: Yeah.... that's not going to happen. What are you drinking?

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:52 pm

Nathalie: Are you sure? I...

She sighs and smiles when he shakes his head...

Nathalie: Pineapple Mojito, then.

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:55 pm

Daniel: Hmmn.... another pineapple based cocktail..... your favourite fruit?

Cryonix Fri Jul 22, 2011 11:09 pm

Nathalie: I don't know...I've just always found pineapple to be...very sensual, don't you?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 22, 2011 11:13 pm

Daniel: That all depends on how you serve it....... You have to get rid of the tough spiky outer skin before you really see how sensual it is.
