No, thank you for accompanying me, my stalwart companion. You're good on your word of expanding my experiences in this city thus far, and I find that delightful.
[V could do all of this alone, of course, but it is much more enjoyable with someone to share it with. To make commentary with. The memory will be more likely to stick that way.]
Of course, let's not speak of this like it's over just yet. You're still eager for dinner, right?
[V bought a... huge bag of candy, but maybe some proper food would be welcome right now.]
I feel like I’ve done very little in that regard, so I shall endeavor to pull my weight a bit more!
[ He hasn’t planned jack for this date, so V is really doing all the heavy lifting when it comes to new experiences and new places. Declan will definitely need to step it up. ]
[It's fine. Maybe Declan will appreciate a good old-fashioned shoulder clap instead.]
There is a restaurant nearby with a rather... exorbitantly luxurious menu. I am curious about it.
But on the way here, I also passed an array of food trucks. I think one was called "Bananarchy". With a name like that, how can a person not be compelled.
[But he teases. He won't try to embarrass him with excess gestures of romance again.
(The restaurant, given its atmosphere, might manage to do that on its own.)
But then they're off to continue their "date"! It was probably a pretty good time. Who knows, maybe they'll get a survey about it when it's all said and done--]

Dinner sounds wonderful!

[It's more fun this way!]
So, where food is concerned... Are you more in the mood for something fancy or something... strange?
no subject
[ Except for holding hands, which is apparently a bridge too far, but it's fine. ]
What are you in the mood for?

Hm. I would posit that "Bananarchy" sounds more like dessert so... why don't we do both?
no subject
[V, please. But then again, he promised that he would treat Declan to a proper meal, so maybe Bananarchy should be saved for last.
He clicks his cane against the pavement.]
But it's decided, then. To the expensive restaurant first. Prepare yourself for a candlelight dinner. My treat.
[Good thing V ran a successful business in his fake AU life so he can afford to eat out (and well) every once in a while!]
no subject
[ Possibly he'll handle it better than the first attempt, but it's clear he's done thinking about that. The only way to go is forward now. ]
