(Backdated) Dinner Date minus talking about feelings (she hopes at least)

He'd invited her over for dinner with the whole 'not talking' thing still valid. She could not express how much of a relief that was for her. God she hated talking or analyzing her feelings.

This time she showed up at his door with a case of beer. Hopefully the good kind, judging from the price. But then again, she couldn't actually tell, and had to rely on judging from labels and prices and going for something not American. Maybe she'd stumbled on something half decent...she hoped.

	"Point. Though I mostly have journals in my quarters at work, textbooks too. Those don't make for good shelf appearances. Not to mention little time to do all that. But I like the idea, might just go all out with the bookshelves in my place. Lack of space has been the issue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, but I have the time, since being somewhat grounded. I could set up some shelving, set up some temporary walls to layout a desk and your bed amidst the shelving... wouldn't be too tough. Maybe a good day's work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I realize I don't have to. I want to. Partly just because... I could use more to do. I know I'm tied to the rad chamber and all, but usually, there's either a field assignment or time to go off driving. I could use a project... and you could use a home library. It sounds like it'd work out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He rises to the occasion, having to tease back a little bit. "No, no. I'm using you for fine company and entertainment. I'm proposing using your bedroom to stave off boredom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hardwoods." he agrees, with a straight face, and a drink of beer. "And, of course, just getting things up once won't do it. With that amount of space for options, at least, five... six..." Shelves, of course. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gave him an innocent look. "Oh will I be participating? Here I thought you were thinking of doing this as a personal anti-boredom project." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2013-08-09 04:26 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "Well, of course it would require your participation. It is your bedroom, after all. I'd have to make sure you're very well satisfied, if we're going to all the work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do my best." he replies, pausing there to go check on the food. He takes the steaks out to let them cool and sit for a bit, filling the room with the smell of the garlic marinade. That done, he returns to the table to finish his salad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
