Palace Stroll, attempt 2?

[Kender Bard]

"I wasn't aware we would be," Gareth admitted. He had the sword with him - he generally didn't bother to take it off until he was home. "If you wished to spar I could take you to His Majesty's armory."

"Well...only if you desire too, Gareth..." her cheeks pinked slightly at saying his name. "I could instead take you out for some sort of dinner...?"

[Kender Bard]

He wasn't really up to a spar, truth be told. And besides, what kind of relationship was built on weapons only?

"That's a bit backwards," he chuckled. "How about I take you to lunch now or dinner later?"

[Deleted]

Kori nodded slowly and mulled over which one would be good. Truthfully, she had nothing to do all day so..."Would it be too much trouble if I could spend the day with you? I've no orders today and my brother is out doing who knows what."

[Kender Bard]

"Er, well, I'll have to get permission," Gareth murmured, looking a tad flustered. "After all I am handling sensitive documents. Though I don't know why you'd like to stay. My job isn't that interesting, truth be told."

[Deleted]

Kori flushed red and quickly turned around, knowing that she had gone perhaps a little too far. "I'm sorry..." she said, reaching up to rake a hand through her hair. "Um...maybe we could just do dinner?"

[Kender Bard]

"Dinner would be lovely," Gareth agreed, feeling a bit relieved. "When shall I come by to escort you?"

[Deleted]

Looking back at him, she smiled, a look of momentary shyness crossing her face. "How about...in 2, or 3 if that's better for you, hours time?"

[Kender Bard]

Gareth looked puzzled a moment before he remembered that hours were candlemarks. Luckily Shadow had one of those new clocks made of wheels or somesuch. "Certainly," he replied. "I'll see you then."

[Deleted]

Kori simply nodded and quickly left him there. Once outside of the area and a good distance away, she burst into a run - she was happy to be doing this and wanted to get home and ready quickly.
