Fava beans, and a nice Chianti.

Bea had definitely not prepared any liver, though. Just rice and cheese and potatoes. Finally, it was all ready, and she poured the wine, plated the food, and got on the communication system. "Manny, could you meet me in the dining room, please?"

	Manny had been in the training room, seeing how many tons of weight he could bench when Ba's message came on. The barbells were literally dropped with a thunderous thud. "On my way!" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The outfit isn't as fancy as the dress she'd worn to the restaurant, but it had a skirt, for the sake of indication. If the homecooked dinner for two wasn't enough to continue hint-processing. She smiled when he came in. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny came around the corner. "Hola Bea, what's.." and there will be a long pause as he notes both the food, and the skirt. "...up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Was hoping you had time for dinner. Nothing special, just one of the mainstays back home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I..that's very nice of you." He rubs the back of his head nervously. "Um si, I do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Great." And she can't help but no she called him away from a workout. "If you want to go wash your hands, that's okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-29 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh! Right, right. Mom would have my hide if she knew I was going to eat dinner before washing my hands!" He darts off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles and waits. Sipping her wine. Because she Knows Stuff, there's also a wineglass of top-quality grape juice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny comes back, trying to walk quickly without stumbling and making an ass out of himself. "Perdon, I should have remembered that." He eases himself into his custom-made seat. "Smells good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks. I hope you like it." She raises a glass and starts to say something in Askani that no one in Western Civilization should be expected to pronounce. " Or, rather, salud." She grins sheepishly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Manny just looked confused as heck for a moment. "What language was that?" He takes a sip and lights up. "Grape juice! Are serious!?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	Another sheepish smile. "Actually, that's the traditional native language of the Dayspring family. We don't use it as much anymore. And yep. Tuscan grape juice. It'd be genuine Chianti if someone just let it rot a bit, but you're not as into that, so I made sure I got some that wasn't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounded pretty cool." Manny gets shy. "I..gee..you're really spoiling me, Bea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, glad to know that's working, at least. And thanks. It's a pretty useful language for succinct-focus situations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny blushed, rubbing the back of his neck again. "So..what's it called?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Askani. Technically also part of my dad's ridiculously long full name." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-29 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	"A lot of Spanish-speaking cultures have pretty long names too, though I admit I can't say if they're longer or shorter than your dad's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	"I know a little about that. Enough to know anyone who refers to Juan Pujol Garcia as 'Mr. Garcia' needs to be slapped, at least. But yeah, Dad is Nathan Christopher Charles Summers Dayspring Askani'son. Maybe not the biggest mouthful, but definitely a mouthful. It's why so many people used his nom d'affairs no matter how silly it was." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny chuckles at that. "Very true." He then whistles at Cable's name. "Dang, that is long." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	A slight chuckle. "Yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So Bea..I'm not complaining..but what brought this on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you took me out last time. This time's my turn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-29 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Well," more blushing. "Gracias." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-11-29 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	"So..." a long pause. "As second dates go..." she trails off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-29 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Second date? He fights the urge to gulp. "It's nice..." It was just a fried-date..or was it? No way..she could do so much better than him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
