no subject
she's arrived ten minutes after their scheduled meeting time, taking a moment to run her fingers through her hair and look around the place for this larry. actually, it's kind of busy and she doesn't really have the patience to look so, in a shout: ]
Is anyone here named Larry?
no subject
Thankfully he doesn't have to let himself set into a panic, because a voice calls out from him at the entrance. He practically flings himself off of his chair to get a look at his date. A million different possibilities fly through his head as he takes a few steps closer to greet her. Her voice seems nice enough... Was she taking that extra time to do her makeup or perfect her date outfit? Would she be a beautiful blonde or brunette with flowing locks?
When he finally lays his eyes on Hawke and her badge, he discovers she's beyond anything he imagined. She's...she's...she's kind of sloppy, weirdly enough, and he's never seen that on a date with a woman before. And is that blood on her (admittedly very pretty) face?
He finds himself frozen, gaping a bit as he clutches the candies and flowers. How does he even deal with this?]
Uh, y-yeah, that'd be me!
[He sheepishly waves in case she didn't hear him. And okay, he has to come out and say it, even though it's super awkward to ask this on a first date:]
Are you...gonna be okay? Like, did something happen? You've got blood on you.
no subject
but she does take a moment to look him over, completely checking him out and hawke seems satisfied with what she sees in the end, finally meeting his eyes and giving a smile. larry will do, he'll do indeed. at his question though, oh. she looks to the cut on her arm with a frown. ]
Oh, this. No, I'm fine, really. I ran into a bit of trouble on the way here. [ she looks back to him, completely innocent. ] One of the locals didn't care very much for my commentary on his love life but really, if you come to a restaurant where the sole feature of the place is the fact the waitresses insult you, what do you expect?
[ she waves a hand dismissively, giving a sigh. ]
Nevertheless, his girlfriend seemed much more interested in me towards the end and he took offense to that. I meant to get off shift early, go home and change for well, this but. [ a shrug. ] Still at the end of the day, him and his friends are in the hospital -- not me. I'm here! Ready to enjoy myself.
[ and then she spots the candies and flowers, brightening. ]
Are those for me?
no subject
Well I'm glad you're...?
[Okay, is what he wants to say. But Hawke launches into her story of how the blood and cuts happened in the first place before he can finish.
The more she describes, more and more questions are raised on Larry's end. However, he can't seem to find the correct phrasing for those questions. She was at an insult restaurant? She was insulting a dude's love life and the girlfriend was suddenly into her? And she beat the crap out of the guy and his friends and sent them to the hospital?
Aside from the look of genuine shock, confusion, and slight horror on his face, he doesn't seem to act on anything Hawke said. This is officially the weirdest date he's ever been on, period. At the same time though, he feels like he's getting to know Hawke way more quickly than should be expected on a first date let alone the first couple minutes, and the main thing he's learned is that well...this woman is not to be messed with.
He finds it astounding how Hawke could be talking about sending people to the hospital and then smile so...wonderfully, not moments later. It helps him force a smile himself, trying to get over his shock. He nods, holding out the flowers and candy bag.]
They sure are. These too- they're candy hearts with color meanings! I hope you like 'em.
[He has to mentally psyche himself up as the conversation goes. He can't let himself be intimidated, no matter how crazy this date is. He's supposed to be a pro at this!]
no subject
she'll take the candy bag and flowers, taking a moment to sniff the flowers (which smell fantastic) and then looking inside the bag. she'll look up as he explains before fishing a hand in, pulling out a yellow one that reads "sweet pea". oh, that's so cute... she actually feels kind of guilty for the level of thought he put into this whole thing compared to her "just show up" mentality. ]
Maker, these are adorable. I haven't anything for you, my apologies but this really is a sweet thought.
[ look! it's going well! at least, on hawke's end it's going well. he's exceeding expectations for her already. she'll look towards the restaurant and then back to larry. ]
Should we sit?
no subject
Despite his initial reservations about how this might go based on his first few minutes spent with Hawke, her positive reaction to the gifts give him a much-needed boost of confidence. After meeting Hawke, he was immediately worried that these sort of gifts would be her thing, but they seem to be going over well! Thanks to that, he's able to get back in his date-mode stride.
This time, he smiles genuinely. He even grins a little bit.]
No no, you don't gotta apologize for that. It's kinda tradition for guys to be the gift-givers on dates where I'm from. Your company alone makes me happy!
[He's being truthful there, if not being a little over the top on purpose as well. But that's just how he rolls on dates.
Ohhh right. He laughs, then nods and offers for Hawke to go in front of them back to the table Larry had picked out.]
Yeah, that might be a good idea. I guess this place has really good hotdogs? Maybe we can grab some of those.
no subject
she bites down onto the heart and eats it as they start towards their table, not wanting to reply with the candy still in her mouth. it's tasty, if a bit chalky. she hasn't had anything like it before. ]
I've never had a hot dog. It's ah... [ gesturing to one of the posters on the wall with a hot dog on it ] That thing, right? Sausage link in a piece of bread?
[ when they get to their booth, she'll slide in on one side and place the flowers and bag at the end, waiting for larry to sit down too. she'll grab a menu after to open it, looking through what's offered. ]
What do you suggest? I imagine you're much more familiar with this sort of thing.
no subject
H-Huh?? You've seriously never had one?!
[He's not exactly asking that in a "THIS IS A GRAVE OFFENSE" sort of way, but it's certain that he's been really taken off guard. However, he has to once again remind himself that not everyone is from his world or time.
Still, with this knowledge in mind, his suggestion is pretty much obvious!
He leans forward a little so he can view the menu with Hawke and point out the hotdog area.]
You definitely gotta try one then. And look, they've got a bunch of different ones! I'd say maybe try the classic one first though. Chili Dogs are a big step from those.
no subject
I'm also quite new to the whole "electricity" thing too, if that helps put it into perspective.
[ but she's receptive enough when he leans over and looks at the menu to where he's pointing. this could be going much, much worse but right now hawke sees larry in the same way others see dumb dogs. she's not going to kick a very useless puppy, no. ]
What's the difference? It just looks as if one has red dressing on it while the other is... meat and cheese? [ she reads the description, eyes narrowing. ] This... cat-chup, is it?
no subject
Also holy crap that electricity comment. It's extremely hard to not make a huge deal out of that. He feels like he kind of has to since she just one-upped her lack of hotdog awareness.]
Whoa...I seriously can't even imagine not having electricity! This place has gotta be super crazy for you, then! Man, and here I thought all the tech was confusing for me.
[He briefly wonders if all those sword guys thought the same thing of electricity, let alone tech and whatnot.
But anyway, back to the hotdogs! Larry is more than happy to explain the differences!]
They have totally different tastes. Ketchup's like...smushed up tomatoes that you put on hotdogs, fries, burgers, you name it. You see it paired up with mustard on hotdogs a lot- it's that yellow stuff. And then chili's a spicy blend of meat sauce and cheese! Some places even put sour cream on their Chili Dogs for a touch of cool creamy goodness.
Basically, it all boils down to what you like. And since you've never had any of 'em, it doesn't hurt to start with the basics!
[This is clearly the most exciting date subject ever.]
no subject
It was startling at first but then I realized it's just different ways to get around. Lightbulbs and candles still do the same thing -- provide light. Pens and quills, letters and cerevices, trains and horses. All the same thing, just in different ways. The only choice is to adapt.
[ but hot dogs are a totally much more interesting topic here so she nods along at his explanation of them. both of those options sound really good and she bites her lip as she looks down at the menu again, conflicted. how do you choose??
... ah! she looks up at him and grins. ]
How about both? Then I get to try everything and don't have to worry if I liked one more than the other. We can share if, if it's too much food.
no subject
You make it all sound super simple when in reality I'd have such a hard time without the more modern stuff! But you're here just pushing through and adapting! That's really amazing, Hawke.
[He may sound like he's sugar-coating, but his expression is pretty genuine. He feels a little bad for saying the things Hawke's familiar with aren't modern, but...it just kind of comes out naturally for him.
...BUT YES THE HOTDOGS. And dang, Hawke's going for the often-overlooked third option! Larry's down for this.]
I like how you think! Both is good! I'm not gonna lie, I'm curious to see which one you end up liking more.
no subject
still, he's genuine enough about it and she's... oddly flattered! people don't compliment hawke nearly as much as she compliments herself. ]
Well, thanks.
[ she can't even bring herself to snark at it, just feeling pleased to be ... admired?? yes. back to the hot dogs though -- she's always one for finding the loophole so this works. ]
I can't say I'm not curious myself with how much you've talked them up. I'll flag down a waiter then.
[ and she does. this is one thing she's learned how to do, considering she works as a waitress herself. when the waiter comes by, she'll politely order her two hot dogs along with a pitcher of iced tea! then she looks to larry for him to order too. ]
no subject
Larry orders two of the same to match Hawke, though he asks for some extra condiments on the side for her to try out if she ends up feeling extra adventerous.
Once the waitress heads off with their order, Larry turns his attention back to Hawke.]
Y'know, I really wish you could try a Samurai Dog or Blue Dog. That would've been an awesome intro to hot dogs too. I actually had a couple stints selling 'em back home- man, those things sold like hotcakes!
[Larry can honestly say he never expected his short time as a hot dog vendor to come up in a conversation, let alone a date conversation. And yet, here we are.]
