Marlow Appreciation Time
Solver was pappoosed to her back, and she carried two thermoses of cocoa as she knocked with her foot on Marlow's door.

"Yeah, but it's not the point. Slapping stupid bitches in the face hasn't normally been my style. Hard to say what is, lately." A thin smile. "Jordan, tell me I'm pretty."

"That's easy, cause its true. You are drop dead gorgeous, fashionable, and sexy. And you've been through a lot. Just need a little spoiling and fairly mundane-things time and you'll be fine."

The smile's a little more... Vernique this time.

She catches sight of the waitress coming. "Order me a large bowl of tortilla soup?" She asks, grinning. "I feel like an 'and the lady will have' kind of night."

Affirming sound. "You're really good at this."

"I do my best." he responds, pausing to place their order. He has to skip the margarita for himself - not much longer, but at least remembers he's in the states now. Then gets her the large tortilla soup, and himself the three enchilada dish with extra rice and beans. He even goes fully into the 'and the lady will have' bit with suitable formality.

Vernique nearly glows as she just enjoys the old-fashionedness of it human old-fashionedness, thank goodness, gradually relaxing more.

"Things still quiet on the Great White Northern front?"

"Reasonably quiet, yeah. We have our basic issues now and then, but usually nothing on an Avenger-y scale."

"Which is good, though usually, the Defenders are kind of hit and miss on the Earth matters. Or at least being notified on them. Down here, doesn't a lot get sent to the Avengers, unless its big gun kind of things?"

She smiles. "Flattery, Mr. Bochs, will get you... well, we'll think of something. I try."

And food comes, and she eats quietly.

He sets into his food hungrily. One of the advantages of Mexican food, there's a lot of it, and a lot of it is plenty dense - helpful with his metabolism.

"Creative mind like yours, I'm sure I'll appreciate whatever you come up with, and just keep up with the justified flattery."

"Happy to see my girlfriend." he replies without hesitation regarding the word. "Its good to see you... and to talk to you again. Alpha has been alright... but being surrounded by really devoted couples at all times gets... well... something. Be easier once hockey gets going again."

He shakes his head. "Its not a matter of whether you mind or not. And I have my black book and all. I just... haven't had a lot of interest in purely physical relationships lately. Its just not the same. Its nice dating someone you can have a real conversation with... before the mind-blowing sex."

Vernique chuckles. "You do wonderful things for my vanity. But I'm glad it's not a case of your talking yourself out of anything."

"It really isn't. If I just wanted a night out, or a night in with company, that's easy enough. It just hasn't been quite as appealing as it used to be of late."

He chuckles. "I appreciate it. And eventually, I'll probably be in the mood. Or want a date for some event or something. Just hasn't been the case of late. You've spoiled me for lesser women."

She practically glows, looking even more like, well, herself. "Occupational hazard."
