Apartment Above Fina, Tuesday Evening

[hugetractsofland]

So.

There had been a handwavy invitation issued and accepted. Lulu was just pulling the pan of spicy roast potatoes out of the oven, one eye on the clock as the agreed-upon time approached.

Two minutes before her date was scheduled to arrive, she was giving the curry-lime chicken one last stir before pouring in some coconut milk, leaving it to simmer until it was time to serve.

[For one, please!]

"My god," Price said. "I do hope it keeps well."

That was a lot of cheesecake.

"Actually," Lulu said, "I thought we might go through... rather a lot of it this evening." She smirked. "If we happen to run out of plates, we can always find... alternate things to eat it off of."

Price just sort of paused. "Well, I'll be," he said. "Well, it never hurts to indulge, on the right occasion."

"Shall we retire to more comfortable seating, then?" Lulu asked, angling her head towards her bedroom.

Yes, that was a pretty blatantly open invitation.

"I'd be happy to," Price said, standing up. "After all, I'd been so uncomfortable where I'd been."

"Just this way, then," Lulu said, leading the way to the bedroom, trusting Price to follow.

He was a soldier. And a good soldier knows when to follow.

Price smoothed out his beard with a hand as he followed, honestly a little nervous even if he wasn't about to let it show.

"A fully thorough tour, after all," he said.
