( No, he will not be pulling back. He will gently lean forward into the kiss. Never mind that it's a graveyard. Graveyards are for lovers? Soon to be maybe could've been lovers? )

[She did have a much more rom-com moment planned for this. There would have been baked goods and powdered sugar, and not the graveyard after having been kidnapped, but she doesn't regret it. She steps closer, winding her arms around his neck and holding the kiss for a little bit longer, before pulling back with a sigh.]

I've been wanting to do that for a while.
commend: (shadowed ominously)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-25 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Me too. I just - wanted to make sure you wanted it.

( Safe to say she does. )

I know we missed the festival, but are you hungry? I'm sure somewhere still sells dessert. And maybe dinner before the dessert. We haven't eaten all day, have we?
regentem: (13)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-25 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
I think dinner sounds fantastic.

[She is honestly starving and could use some real food.]

Let me just put these away.

[She does listen when Kol issues magic warnings, and she doesn't want these to fall into the wrong hands when she's not looking.]
commend: (outline silhouetted)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-25 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
What are they?

( He goes to grab one -- )
regentem: (11)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-25 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She will catch his wrist before he does that.]

They are Monroe's super secret stash of dark magic items. Bela and Klaus recovered them from one of the strong holds and I have to go through them to see what's being kept and what's being destroyed.
commend: (intently studied)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-25 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
So... no touching.

( Sorry, Dav. )
regentem: (4)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-25 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No touching.

[She releases his wrist, before going to safely load them back into a crate and seal it with magic.]

I don't want someone to accidentally stumble on them either while we're gone.
commend: (orders offered)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-26 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
They were already in the wrong hands.

( He gives her the space to pack them away safely, watches her witching about. )

So - you don't - live here in the cemetery, do you?
regentem: (11)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-27 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
No. I have an apartment in the Quarter.

[She tips her head to the side.]

Though I did spend a portion of my teenage years in the attic of a church.
commend: (howled grey)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-27 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
In a church ... attic. Were you hiding?

( Is it offensive he's thinking of Anne Frank? )
regentem: (12)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-27 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I was hiding. It's a long story, but basically Marcel kept me there to protect me from some witches that wanted to kill me.

[And in an odd kind of way, it became home. She understands why Freya loves her belltower, because there's something about the solitude and simplicity that feels like safety.]

( A (13) gives him Marcel knowledge and compared to New Orleans and, yes, his connection to Davina. But, he can put two and two together from one of their past conversations. )

Because of the Harvest?
regentem: (Default)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-28 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Cami's uncle was running the church at the time, and he gave me sanctuary.
commend: (shadowed ominously)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-28 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you don't need a sanctuary now. -- When you're not being kidnapped. ( So, he's trying to be romantic but they're not quite to... Or are they. ) Maybe, while I'm in town, I can be your sanctuary. Even for a short time. I even promise you can sing on a stage after I board the plane, like, Bodyguard style.
regentem: (4)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-28 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
You've seen The Bodyguard?

[Pleasantly surprised, but still leaning more towards surprised. Still, that isn't the point. She nods as she reaches finishes locking things up.]

But I would really like that. I can be yours too.

( Scott McCall he of the never gonna see Star Wars faction has had girlfriends that twist his arm better than Stiles did. )

I know I'd like that.
regentem: (11)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-28 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Davina's probably never seen Star Wars either. They're a match.]

Good. Then we'll make it work.

[But she takes his arm as they leave the mausoleum, heading out into the night air.]

We can talk about it more over dinner?
commend: (Default)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-28 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
( Is it the attic thing? )

Yeah. I'd like that, too. Let's talk about whatever.

( And they do, Scott explaining his life in California, being bitten and that learning curve. His mom and dad (their not being together) and his mom married to his ex's (Allison's) father. It's a little soap opera but he says it all with an earnestness. He just wants Davina to get to know him. )
regentem: (3)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-28 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[And Davina will contribute with coming into her own as regent in the Quarter after a tumultuous up and down with the Mikaelsons. She dances around the heavier stuff for a first date, but it's nice, to talk with someone about normal things.

They eat dinner and have beignets, and it goes late into the night, but most nights in New Orleans do. As they walk down the street, she turns back to him.]


How much longer until you have to leave?
commend: (arm inspection)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-28 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
( It turns out, beignets are a dessert and delicious! )

Late morning. I still have hours.
regentem: (2)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-28 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Do you ... want to come back to my apartment?

[Not necessarily in a sexy way, if he doesn't want that. But she's starting to feel the exhaustion setting in, and she wants to spend as much time with him as possible.]

I can make you breakfast before you go.
commend: (k ↠ supported by)

[personal profile] commend 2022-01-28 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

( Scott hesitates zero. It's -- a bit pitiful if someone with game were watching. But, it's Scott, and his smile is as wide as he is enthused to spend more time with her.

Totally in sexy way, though, if she's down. It's been a while and being a werewolf still sends that into overdrive.
)

I mean. Yeah. Take me back to your apartment, Davina Claire.
regentem: (1)

[personal profile] regentem 2022-01-28 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She is definitely down. She smiles, before taking his hand and leading him back towards her place for the perfect end to a lovely date.]
