An innocent meal

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

An innocent meal

Postby Ryan Gabriel » Sun Sep 16, 2012 1:02 am

Ryan, very gentlemanly (of course) held the door open to the little restaurant. From the looks of the place it was a little family-owned place, and the decor made it feel nice and cozy and private in there.

Also, from the way that the girl who seated them smiled at Ryan, this wasn't his first time there.

Ryan held out Rachel's chair for her, still playing the part. She was a good girl, after all.

"You've been here before?" Rachel asked, noticing the girl's look.

"Well, I couldn't really recommend a place if I didn't know it was good," he pointed out, taking a seat across from her.

Ryan slipped her hand into his, running his fingers briefly along her palm. "If you'd rather, we can risk somewhere new and untried next time," he said with a little smile.

"Of course," Ryan said, holding up his hand in surrender as he conceded her point. "Can't get ahead of myself."

"I meant that I didn't want to just assume that you'd want to go out with me again." Rachel replied.

"Now, would I be thinking about where you'd like going with me better if that were the case?" he asked with a smile. "I think you can be pretty secure right now that I like spending time with you."

"Good, then no more silly thoughts like that," Ryan said with a cool smile, picking up her hand and idly running his fingers over it.

"Well, I don't know if that's any sillier than how I can completely lose whatever I was thinking when I look in your eyes," Ryan countered, lightly kissing her hand.

Ryan smirked, running his fingers over her hand again. "So for the future, all I need to do is to point out that you're beautiful to make your brain skip?" he teased.

"Only to a certain point," Ryan admitted. "I got most of the points that I *had* to hit mapped out over the summer. Most of it's kind of on-the-fly and depending on their progress and any problems that come out. The whole thing's really just a lot of making sure they don't kill themselves and making sure that any of them who're having nervous breakdowns get noticed."
