May 6 - Courting the Phoenix

[Daniel Uriel]

"Which I assume there aren't any of in this, then."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Not too many, no, unless they're REALLY good--but that's not 'traditional'.

But there's some squid!"

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel stopped as he was about to take a bite. "Squid? Seriously?"

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Yup! A cheese-and-potato omelette with onion and squid.."

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel glanced down at the food, then back at her, then shrugged and took the bite. He seemed to consider what he was eating for a moment, then nodded. "Yep. Still good even though it's squid," he joked.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Seafood is good, buster, and don't you forget it."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Oh, definitely. Squid hasn't been on my menu before, though. Didn't really expect that it would be," he admitted, now tucking into his food without hesitation.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Horizons are meant to be expanded."

[Daniel Uriel]

"And now mine has been!" Daniel said cheerfully.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Good for you!"

[Daniel Uriel]

"See? You're a good influence on me," Daniel teased.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"I would certainly hope so!"

[Daniel Uriel]

"Any other influences you'd like to lay on me?" he teased.

[Altamira Vazquez]

Altamira studied him. "Maybe I will," she said, smiling.

[Daniel Uriel]

"Should I be eager or apprehensive?" he joked.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"I don't know! Eager, I suppose."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Well, in that case, I eagerly await you laying your influences on me," he grinned.
