Daniel: Please tuck in.

Sinead: I also took the liberty of bringing a pitcher of Ice tea for the two of you.

Daniel: Thank you so much Sinead.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:40 pm

Nathalie: So you must come here often, then.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:54 pm

Daniel: Once or twice a week..... I painted a portrait of Sineads daughter when she was born.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:02 pm

Nathalie: I really do want to see some more of your work. Speaking of which...how did that picture of me turn out?

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:07 pm

Daniel pulls out his phone and shows Nathalie a password-locked photo of the now finished painting of her.

Daniel: Beautifully.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:11 pm

Nathalie: Oh wow! You're....amazing! I even look halfway decent in this.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:23 pm

Daniel looks at her as if to say "are you kidding me?"

Daniel: Do you have even the first idea how beautiful you are.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:26 pm

Nathalie blushes and shakes her head no...

Nathalie: No one's ever...really said that to me before.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:38 pm

Daniel: I can't believe that..... you're...... impossibly beautiful.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:43 pm

Nathalie: I'm serious, Daniel. I was just...'cute' in comparison to my sister. That's all anyone has ever told me.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:48 pm

Daniel: Your sister is..... OK.... I guess..... but I can't see why anybody would favour her over you...... you're beautiful Nathalie......

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:52 pm

Nathalie is silent...and starts to dab away tears with her napkin...

Nathalie: I....I'm sorry it's just....

She stands up and walks outside...

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:54 pm

Daniel follows her.

Daniel: I..... I'm sorry.....I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable..... guess I'm a little too forward sometimes....

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:57 pm

Nathalie shakes her head...

Nathalie: No, no...that's not it at all, Daniel. I've...lived in my sister's shadow for so long...it's just so nice to finally, finally hear someone choose me over her. I just never felt any value to myself because...Jillian was ALWAYS better at everything. I just.....

...just thank you for saying that.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:02 pm

Daniel: Come here.

He holds her tight.

....I'd pick you over anybody.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:15 pm

Nathalie: Thank you. God, look at me...making a mess of lunch. I'm so sorry, Daniel.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:18 pm

Daniel: You haven't made a mess of anything......

He kisses her.

See? My lunch is significantly more awesome than if you weren't here.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:48 pm

Nathalie: You always know what to say to make me feel better. I really like that about you.

Cruel Britannia Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:20 am

Daniel: Heh.... I'm nothing special.

Cryonix Thu Aug 11, 2011 11:25 am

Nathalie: Wrong. You are to me.

She hugs him...

Nathalie: You are to me....

Cruel Britannia Thu Aug 11, 2011 12:10 pm

Daniel kisses the top of her head.

Daniel: You're sweet.

Cryonix Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:38 pm

Nathalie: ....Food's probably stone cold by now. I'm sorry...

Cruel Britannia Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:42 pm

Daniel: Nathalie..... it's fine sweetie..... you don't have to apologise for anything.....

He smiles.

Cryonix Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:50 pm

Nathalie: So um....did you still want to come over for dinner?

Cruel Britannia Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:52 pm

Daniel chuckles.

Daniel: Of course.... if I'm still welcome....
