Russian to the Rescue
"TAXI!" Cait yelled and leaned out over the curb with her hand raised. Hundreds, if not thousands, of cabs in New York and Cait couldn't get one to stop. They all zoomed by without even slowing down. She knew she should have taken the train back, but she didn't like the train. It was irrational, yes, but it was the way it was and she had elected to take a cab. However, none were stopping and she didn't want to be stranded in the city for the night.

Time to call the cavalry.

She dialed Vlad's number.

	He grinned. "I'm touched. My personal ice cream stash is yours to take, fair lady. And the cookie dough stash of course, that's a given." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why thank you, kind sir," she said with a giggle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled in triumph at making her laugh and managed to flag down a waiter to put their orders in. "Don't worry, they're usually pretty fast at bringing out food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm okay with waiting," she said. "It's the company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I don't want you to stay hungry too long! Besides, you have my company all day. I did promise skating after this didn't I? Pretty sure they've got skates to rent, and shouldn't be crowded because it's not the usual season for it. So better for us!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can make my own skates if needed," she said. "And keep the ice smooth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The management is going to hate me for bringing you there. Putting both the zambonis and skate rentals out of business?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, okay. I'll do it the normal way. Which is boring by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh I totally agree. So the minute we get a chance, I'm dragging you to the school's lake so you can make me a pair of nifty ice skates to try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-10-07 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	"How about we just go to the lake?" Cait suggested. "We'd have our own private rink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure, most of the kids wouldn't be around it but...end of September, didn't want to have to make you freeze a whole lake. Well, surface of, but same idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-10-08 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"I'm almost to the point where I can freeze the whole surface. One day I will be able to do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-10-08 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"You'll get there, no doubt about it. Being awesome does that. But if we can't get the whole surface frozen, going here instead isn't a big deal. No pesky students at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-10-08 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Whatever you think works best," Cait said. "Here or the lake. Either way, it's the company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-10-08 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Well if the ice is thin we know I can always just swim instead. But how about we not make decisions on empty stomachs? Because I think that's our food there..." He grinned and rubbed his hands in anticipation as the waitress brought a bunch of plates over to their table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-10-08 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you," Cait said to the waitress. "MMM it smells wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-10-08 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Tastes even better I'm sure," he said after thanking the waitress, and swiped one of the satay sticks. "Guess it wasn't such a bad thing you had no luck with cabs today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-10-08 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Cait smiled. "I'd say I got lucky. No cab, but lunch with a very handsome man and we're going ice skating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I aim to please," he smiled and saluted her with his fork. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please you do," Cait said with heat touching her cheeks. She returned the fork salute. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
