Apr 15 22:43:26 <Knave>	Tara receives a text mid-afternoon, <Hey, squirrel girl, guess who got a phone?>, followed swiftly by <It's Austin.> <Austin got a phone.>
Apr 15 22:44:32 <WhispersLily>	<OHMAHGOSH!> she texted back excitedly, she hadn't heard from Austin in forever. She had half thought the boy had forgotten her. <I see you didn't forget about me then? ;)>
Apr 15 22:46:52 <Knave>	<How could I ever forget you?> She can practically see the smirk through the screen. <Are you free this evening? <3 >
Apr 15 22:48:13 <WhispersLily>	in an an attempt to not sound too eager...<maybe...what did you have in mind?>
Apr 15 22:51:03 <Knave>	<A star-and-candle-lit dinner, one of three (3) promised Amazing Dates :D>
Apr 15 22:52:37 <WhispersLily>	<sounds...amazing in deed...where did you have it planned at? im guessing the roof?>
Apr 15 22:53:44 <Knave>	<Am I so predictable?> Almost immediately followed by <Shall I pick you up at 7?>
Apr 15 22:54:19 <WhispersLily>	<hmm what time is it now?>
Apr 15 22:56:09 <Knave>	<Nearly five. You're excited. You want earlier? I can pull back to maybe 6:30> <Unless you want more time to prepare, then we can do later> <All up to you, sweet-cheeks>
Apr 15 22:57:32 <WhispersLily>	<Psh...excited? I was thinking more like making you wait until 8 pm...but if you are are ready by 6:30 that sounds fine...I won't mind ;)>
Apr 15 22:59:17 <Knave>	<6:30 it is.> And, indeed, six thirty it was, on the dot, when Austin's shave-and-a-haircut rapped against Tara's door.
Apr 15 23:04:00 <WhispersLily>	When she opened the door, Tara was wearing a black dress with a white ribbon around her waist and a white bow in her blond hair. "Hi..." she blushes and smiles nervously.
Apr 15 23:07:07 <Knave>	Austin is flat-out out-done. He cleans up nice in pressed slacks and a button up, his hair arranged into something resembling a style. Upon seeing Tara, though, the rose clutched between his teeth falls from his lolling open mouth. True to his nicknames, though, he manages to pluck it out of the air as it falls, then extends his arm to offer it to her, "Good evening, fair lady."
Apr 15 23:11:07 <WhispersLily>	She is bashingly beautiful, she takes the rose from his hand and puts it in her ear. "Lovely." she grins. "Lead the way /good Sir/!" she says with a lilt in her voice trying to sound British.
Apr 15 23:13:32 <Knave>	"Certainly." Austin takes a tidy step back and offers out his arm for Tara, beaming like an idiot.
Apr 15 23:15:52 <WhispersLily>	She follows him up to the roof, her hand tightly in his. "What's on the menu for tonight?" she asks with a beaming smile.
Apr 15 23:19:37 <Knave>	He leads with catlike grace, which does not at all communicate the butterflies in his stomach. Fortunately, his dumb mouth does a fine job of that, "Well, uh, I didn't know if you were, like... a vegetarian or not. So we're having vegan stuffed aubergine, and a sorbet dessert." He leads her up the stairs, constantly looking at her and miraculously not tripping.
Apr 15 23:20:38 <WhispersLily>	"Oh that sounds lovely...but I was hoping you'd say you..." she teased him with a wink.
Apr 15 23:27:04 <Knave>	"Two more dates first." He grins back, then lets go of her hand to step forward and open the roof-access door and hold it for her. Framed in the doorway is a table set for two, simple white tablecloth draped over it, a candle in the centre, and two cloches covering the evening's meal.
Apr 15 23:28:49 <WhispersLily>	"Thats for me to decide buddy..." she winked. "Who knows...if you hit a homerun during one of your dates...you could a homerun elsewhere." she giggles and lets out a squeek. She blushes at the squeek and looks away, "I mean, that is if you want to try to do that..."
Apr 15 23:32:08 <Knave>	Austin takes her hand again and whisks her up to her seat, pulling it out for her, setting her down, pulling up her cloche to reveal the steaming meal underneath, all with the fluid motion of a dance. "Bon appetit." He says, sliding around the table and into his own seat.
Apr 15 23:36:35 <WhispersLily>	She shyly sits, and takes her napkin and unfolds it placing it on her lap. "This looks really nice Austin...you really went out of your way for me..." she said shyly.
Apr 15 23:40:14 <Knave>	"I may have called in a favour or three." He smiles back, gazing adoringly at her and pointedly waiting for her to start eating before he does, "Credit goes to my friend Jon for the actual cooking of the meal, by the way. Can't take credit for that."
Apr 15 23:45:57 <WhispersLily>	She cuts the food and takes her first bite. She squeeks in excitement, "Oh my god this is so freaking delicious." she says with a squeek. "I mean...it is really good." she said correcting herself. "You can tell Jon that I said thank you very much for the food." she smiled.
Apr 15 23:50:33 <Knave>	"I'll be sure to give compliments to the chef as soon as possible." Austin says, delicately beginning to eat, taking that much longer because of his reluctance to take his eyes off Tara, "Don't feel like you need to watch what you say. It's still just me. You can be yourself."
Apr 15 23:57:47 <WhispersLily>	"It all just seems so fancy...I don't want to seem like I'm not classy. To be honest...I want to be myself around you, but sometimes I get sooo nervous I don't know what that means. *Squeek!*"
Apr 15 23:58:43 <Knave>	"I understand." Austin chuckles, "But I assure you, despite all appearances, I too am not oh so fancy." He takes a sip of water, pinky held out.
Apr 16 00:04:00 <WhispersLily>	"MMM!!!" she points at his pinky. "But you clearly have mastered the 'when in doubt pinky out' technique!" she argued teasingly.
Apr 16 00:06:25 <Knave>	"Indeed I have. But don't be fooled, I'm merely extremely capable at integrating myself into all levels of society." He shrugs, "Y'know, like James Bond, only cooler."
Apr 16 00:09:09 <WhispersLily>	"*GASP*" she looked at him wide eyed. "Nobody is cooler than Bond! That is like...heresy!" >.> <.<
Apr 16 00:11:09 <Knave>	Austin gives a "pffft", waving a hand dismissively, "I've never actually watched a Bond movie. Just had the guy pegged as a dumb murder expert."
Apr 16 00:12:38 <WhispersLily>	"This is...unacceptable!" she points out. "After dinner you are coming back to my room and we are watching a Bond movie." she nods assertively.
Apr 16 00:13:28 <Knave>	"Your wish is my command." He holds up both hands in brief surrender, "So who's your Bond actor of choice?"
Apr 16 00:19:23 <WhispersLily>	"Well in order of greatness?" she asked him. "Because obviously I love them all. Sean Connery started the classics, while George Lazenby was in one of the most tragic Bond films of all time. THEN you have Roger Moore who was a classic womans man. OH we can't forget Timothy Dalton in two of the better movies, which led the way for Pierce Brosnan to be in one of the most classic movies of Bond history Goldeneye. NOW the newer guy, Daniel Craig...lot of Bond fans didn't like him at first because he was blond haired and blue eyed. BUT his appearance essentially reboots the series and creates a  whole new saga of BOND FILMS!" at this point it was quite clear that he hit the best subject to talk about, her interest in movies, comics, and otherwise.
Apr 16 00:26:28 <Knave>	"I see you're a girl of refined taste," Austin said, smiling gently as he takes in the lecture, "Sean Connery. What a guy. Not to say the Daltonator isn't also amazing and such a talent."
Apr 16 00:32:41 <WhispersLily>	"Well a lot of people don't know this but he was also in Untouchables. ALSO the new Casino Royale wasn't the first one. In actuality there is a Casino Royale based on Bond going to the bacharat tournament against le chiffre. It even includes several actors from the Monty Python cast, I would like to say that it is not canon and is actually a spoof movie! AND OH!!! YEAH! I NEARLY FORGOT Connery, was in another Bond film that is technically not considered a Bond film for certain reasons but anyways the movie was called Never Say Never Again, because Connery never wanted to be Bond again and he said, Never. SO THE TITLE IS A JOKE!" she says enthusiastically. "umm...sorry...I...like...love Bond."
Apr 16 00:34:13 <Knave>	"Don't apologize." Austin tells her, "It's adorable. There's nothing better than hearing someone talk about something they're passionate about. So which Bond movie do you want to show me first?" He grins.
Apr 16 00:38:42 <WhispersLily>	"Well..." she rubs her knees together beneath the table. She had to choose a movie to show him... "Well...if we are to start plot wise...we would be watching them out of chronological order. We'd have to watch some of the newer ones before the older ones. AND IT WOULD ONLY MAKE SENSE!!!" she pointed out as if trying to make a point. "reason for this is because Casino Royale...the new one is actually the first movie as per the books, while Dr. No, wasn't until much later in the book series. So we can watch only the new ones as they make the most sense chronologically and there are only 4 of them right now since the last one they made was Spectre...and the new one that is coming out this week actually." she admitted.
Apr 16 00:41:39 <Knave>	"Craig it is." He runs a hand through his ash blond hair and flashes a smile, "You know, I've been told a resemble a more handsome Daniel Craig."
Apr 16 00:47:22 <WhispersLily>	"Stahp it..." she squeeks and giggles, her face all flushed and blushing. "you...umm done eating?" she said hopefully, her plate was half empty, but you know she has a small stomach.
Apr 16 00:53:55 <Knave>	Austin takes a few more bites, a little faster than is healthy or pretty, then lays his cutlery down. "Hope you saved room for dessert." Austin stands fluidly, taking up their plates and heading for the door, "Back in a flash." He assures her before disappearing, returning a half minute later carrying two small bowls of lemon sorbet, laying one in front of her before sitting down across from her again.
Apr 16 01:01:35 <WhispersLily>	"OOH what is it?"  she asked curiously.
Apr 16 01:02:50 <Knave>	"It's, uh, it's like ice cream, but without the cream." He takes a small spoonful, then gestures with the empty spoon, "Like if you made it with fruit juice instead of milk. Okay. I don't super know exactly what it is. But it's good."
Apr 16 01:30:03 <Whisper_Lily>	She takes a bite of it. her face become the most terrified expression possible. This is the face of a squirrel who is both experiencing brain freeze and sourness at the same time. "MMMOHMEWGAWSHSQUEEK!" she cries.
Apr 16 01:30:42 <Knave>	"You okay over there?" Austin cocks an eyebrow, and with his hands moving him along the table his slides his chair across the roof until he's sitting right beside Tara.
Apr 16 01:33:52 <Whisper_Lily>	She shakes her head rapidly no. "SSSSOOCOOLDANDSOUR!!" She cries.
Apr 16 01:38:07 <Knave>	Austin puts a hand on Tara's chin, holding her face steady gently, "Let me warm you up." He plants a kiss on her, and against all odds he tastes sweet.
Apr 16 01:41:34 <Whisper_Lily>	Her eyes go wide for a sec, but then she embraces the kiss, closing her eyes and putting her arms around Austin. Her lips sweet like hazlenut graced by the zest of lemon give her an interesting taste. As he goes to part, she pulls him back in for another kiss and even goes a bit further and gives a bit of tongue.
Apr 16 01:45:19 <Knave>	Austin meets her with gusto, his other arm slipping around to the back of her head, holding the kiss for as long as possible before pulling away with a smile, "Better?"
Apr 16 01:45:55 <Whisper_Lily>	"Much...." she said with a sigh.
Apr 16 01:50:08 <Knave>	Austin glances at her sorbet, "Do you want to finish dessert, or... just head straight for your room?"
Apr 16 01:51:09 <Whisper_Lily>	"Definitely the room...not a fan of the sorbet..." she whimpered.
Apr 16 01:53:38 <Knave>	"Not a problem." He stands up and grabs the bowls in one hand, leading the way back downstairs to her door, "I'll drop these in the kitchen, why don't you get the movie ready while I'm gone?"
Apr 16 01:54:44 <Whisper_Lily>	"Ok..." she heads down and sets up her tv
Apr 16 01:59:09 <Knave>	A minute or so later, Austin lets himself in to Tara's room with a smile, his combed hair now tousling itself out into its usual mess.
Apr 16 02:12:31 <Whisper_Lily>	 She gives him a curious look, "You tossled your hair?"
Apr 16 02:13:19 <Knave>	His eyes roll up, trying to look at his own hair, "Not intentionally." He says, "It just does that after a while."
Apr 16 02:20:45 <Whisper_Lily>	"it looks...cute" she squirms. She then hops onto her bed, and waves him over.
Apr 16 02:21:59 <Knave>	Austin bops over and sits beside her, "I forget, did I remember to say that you look beautiful in that dress, or was I too stunned?"
Apr 16 02:24:41 <Whisper_Lily>	"You didn't say anything actually..." she looked down, and was quite sad. "But...your jaw dropped...so I don't know does that count?" she asked nervously, her knees rubbing together. Her black thigh socks brushing against each other. She kicks off her heels and reveals them. Her dress comes to her knees.
Apr 16 02:26:04 <Knave>	Austin turns Tara's face to his and looks sincerely into her eyes, "You look beautiful." He kisses her softly.
Apr 16 02:29:23 <Whisper_Lily>	She whimpers, "I do?" she asked curiously.
Apr 16 02:32:17 <Knave>	"Angelic." He confirms, scooching closer and putting an arm around her waist.
Apr 16 02:43:28 <Whisper_Lily>	She lets out a squeek as he gets closer. "I really like you..." she admits, she pulls him into another kiss and begins to lean back toward her headboard, Her body motions taunting and teasing him to follow her.
Apr 16 02:47:49 <Knave>	It doesn't take a whole lot to lead Austin, and he come down with her, both of her hands on her, lips locked. Between kisses he says "I really like you too, Tara."
Apr 16 02:51:06 <Whisper_Lily>	"I would like it if you kissed me a lot now." she said in almost a whisper. "I just...am afraid of where this all leads. I'm scared Austin." said Tara. "I'm scared I'll commit and you will end up hurting me." she said a soft tear coming to her eye.
Apr 16 02:53:44 <Knave>	Austin rests his forehead against Tara's, his hand on her cheek, "Listen. We don't have to be anything you don't want us to be, and I would never knowingly do anything to hurt you, okay?" He brushes a tear away with his thumb, then smiles, "I'm going to kiss you a lot now."
Apr 16 02:55:20 <Whisper_Lily>	"I want us to be...something Austin...I'm just scared is all." She says worriedly. "I would like the kissing though yes..." she lets off a little squeekas he approaches her.
Apr 16 03:02:34 <Knave>	"I love it when you squeak," He says quietly, then starts kissing her a lot, his hands wandering but self-consciously staying in tame locations. Tara didn't seem like a girl to push boundaries with until you knew she was ready.
Apr 16 03:03:54 <Whisper_Lily>	She squeeks again in embaressment. "Really? you don't think its stupid?" in between kisses.
Apr 16 03:05:03 <Knave>	"Nope. Adorable." He says, making efficient use of time in which his lips are free in order to maximise the time they're not.
Apr 16 03:14:08 <Whisper_Lily>	"you...are the best..." she sighs. He was now on top of her, she could feel his warmth, she eyed him, her blue eyes gazing up into is. "you...could stay here...if you want." she said unsure.
Apr 16 03:15:26 <Knave>	"Well, I mean, I'd love to." He says, blushing and smiling, goofy and uncertain, "Do- Do you want me to?"
Apr 16 03:16:45 <Whisper_Lily>	"I think...it would be a nice finish..and besides I only want to sleep."
Apr 16 03:17:24 <Knave>	"I am /great/ at sleeping." He smiles, then kisses her cheek sweetly.
Apr 16 03:19:02 <Whisper_Lily>	"Then shall we?"
Apr 16 03:19:33 <Knave>	"Sounds like perfection."
Apr 16 03:22:34 <Whisper_Lily>	(end?_)
Apr 16 03:22:57 <Knave>	-end-
