A Date!

[Awne Tigra]

Awne was just a few minutes early to meeting back up with Ryo, waiting outside the museum, anxious but well dressed. She had changed out of the outfit from before and into something more suitable and much easier to move in. Still a skirt yes, knee length this time with freer movement; a fitted shirt that came off the shoulders a bit, still casual but..well she wanted to look good! she even changed into her favorite pair of heeled boots that came up to her knees. It was a good look for her. Short hair was left free this time and a touch of makeup.

"I hope he likes it.." she mumbles softly, smoothing her skirt for the third time before checking her watch, again.

[Ryo Bakura]

Bakura straightened up his office. He had too hurry or Awne might leave him. Besides, he like being puncutal. He dusted off his suit one last time, then lifted jis backpack with his work items and Duel Disk. He stopped and looked at the clock. He had a minute to spare before he had to head out to be on time. He reached in his backpack and activated the Duel Disk once it was on his arm. He inserted his deck and drew is first hand. Even shuffled, he managed to draw Destiny Board and Dark Nercofear. He returned the Duel Disk and the Deck back to where he got them.

'It never seems to fail. Destiny Board wants to be played always...But...What will happen if I play them. No, I can't think that. Now that he's gone, everything is okay.' However, Yami Bakura laughed. "So you think, my vessel..but I'm back, stronger and more determined than ever!"

Bakura walked to the entrance at exactly 10:30 and found Awne. She was...She was...beautiful! He smiled at her and bowed to her. "Hello, Awne. You look great tonight. Umm...shall we go?"

[Awne Tigra]

Awne was fussing with her hair in her reflection when he came out, she eeped, startled and flushed red but bowed in answer smiling.

Calm down heart...no heart attacks are not good on dates, erm...tea...meetings....things.

"thank you." she says softly, stepping up to his side and leading the way to her favorite tea shop. Her parents had been adamant about a few things in her life: be a doctor, go with your gut and your heart, learn to like tea because it was better than coffee, and if nothing else always keep you head about you. In there somewhere added had been to also learn the old traditions of Japanese culture and how to drink tea like a brit...because apparently those were the best. She still didn't get it.

Still, her tea shop was always cozy. She held the door for him with a grin to the 'Sakura Blossom.' It was fairly empty at this time of night, good for them really as they would have plenty of time to themselves and privacy too. Once they had both entered she'd lead the way to the counter. "what kind of tea do you like?" she asked him, the list was long: from english teas to Japanese and herbal, they even had a few that were made by the shop with fruits.

[Ryo Bakura]

Bakura smiled at her. He followed to where she was wanting to go. 'Alright, so far, so good! No mess-ups, no weird looks, no embrassments. So far.' It was queit as they walked. Luckily the tea place wasn't that far. He smiled at her when she asked. "Umm...just normal tea...I guess." He didn't know there was sooo much. He was used to normal tea he drinked. He waited for her order as he reached for his wallet. 'Wait...if this isn't a date, this would look akward...no, it's the right thing to do, so she couldn't overthink this,' he overthought to himself.

[Awne Tigra]

Awne orders a small pot for them to share of simple green tea. At his wallets appearance she flushes slightly, a gentleman...maybe...maybe he did think of it as a date! It didn't cost much really, roughly five dollars for a whole pot for just the two of them.

After ordering and paying, she leads the way to a small booth. Most seating was simple for couples to face each other, others were large booths for groups or corner seats for more cozy seating. She nibbles on her lip and turns to him "um..where would you like to sit?"

[Ryo Bakura]

Bakura laid down the money, paying for all of it and giving a tip too. He followed her and stratched his head. "How about here?" He pointed to the two seater table that faced each other. He hoped he wasn't being too fowarded. He sat down, waiting for the tea. "So...you know what I do...what do you do?"

[Awne Tigra]

Awne takes a seat to face him, smiling to him and scratches at her head "ah...well...I'm a doctor." she says lightly "I worked in a hospital but recently I've decided to take a post as a school physician at the dueling school...have you heard of it?"

[Ryo Bakura]

Bakura listened to her. He smiled. She was a doctor. That fascinated him. When she said dueling school, he looked with interest. "You mean Duel Academy, Kaiba's dueling school?" He heard about the school Kaiba ran and was pleased to hear that he did. It gave kids privelges he didn't have when he was young.

[Awne Tigra]

Awne blinks to him "Kaiba? Mr. Kaiba runs that school?" she flushes, oh that just figured didn't it, she had a crush on that man since she first saw him dueling! Granted...he was supposedly an rather...rude...person to those that he didn't find stimulating. well. This duelest at least was sweet...so sweet.

"He was a favorite of mine." she admits, though carefully looks away in the hopes he might not see her blush, that would simply ruin this date..erm..meeting. Their tea arrived just a moment later, and Awne takes the pot quickly to pour the tea. Tea ceremony was a favorite of hers and she wanted to show him...well..the proper respect and ..show off a little.

He might not know, her mind supplied, still...it's nice.

[Ryo Bakura]

Bakura smiled at her. "Yes, made that school. After all, his company is all about Duel Monsters and the development for the future." He can't say he's friends with Kaiba, due to the fact he mocked anyone hanging around Yugi. Still, Kaiba was well respected in Bakura's book, despite being a tad bit Egotistic. He was a remarkable duelist and almost second to Yugi Muto.

He returned his attention to her, realizing she was a fan of Kaiba's too. "Well, he should be. He's one of the greatest duelist ever. Plus, he's the only duelist with the famous Blue-Eyes White Dragon, aside from the unuseable one the Muto's have. I fancy him myself. I wish I was that good of a duelist."

He looked as the tea came, not noticing any of her blushing. He poured himself a cup when she was done. She was quite proper. She was really unbelieveable. She was beautiful, sweet, like the same things he did, and was respectful. He couldn't believe he was on a date with her...or whatever this was to her. He held out his picky when he drink. Force of habit.

[Awne Tigra]

Awne watched him drink, a little smile on her lips at the proper way he drank. Oh her mother would be on her in a second if she could see him, proper man, sweet, good job, handsome...oh her mother would embarrass her in a heartbeat if it meant she might settle down.

At the mention of the blue eyes she grins "I love that card! I'd hoped to find one someday out of luck!" she didn't know about the limitation of the card, or that out of the four made, the only useable three were in the CEO's deck. Still, she kept dreaming, hoping someday a card pack might hold one.

"Did you always envision yourself to be curator to the museum?"

[Ryo Bakura]

Bakura nodded at her. He set his cup down, smiling. "The Blue-Eyes is indeed impressive. Espically when three come together to make that Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. I'd hate to come face-to-face with that card..." He's only heard of the fusion monster, but never seen it in action. He knew his deck quite well and if that ever came on the feild, Bakura was a goner for sure.

Bakura rose a brow with interested when she spoke agaain. "Honestly, no, I didn't. I just wanted to work in the museum, due to my liking of history. I guess I got lucky when I became curator." He laughed nervously. So far, so good...no embrassments...

[Awne Tigra]

She chuckles softly, setting her cup down as well, her head resting on her hand as she listened to him. "A very lucky position to be in then to having that just passed on." She chuckles "I must be wonderful to work there, you get to see the new items before everyone else." She lifts her tea again, pinky out of course as was proper and sipped silently a moment before setting it back down.

okay..it's just innocent questions. that's all, feeling things out. just ask. no harm in asking.

"Ah...Ryo..do you have a..ah..girlfriend?" she clears her throat "or..I suppose a boyfriend?" better to be safe, though she was blushing something horrible. Wouldn't that just be her luck..

[Ryo Bakura]

Bakura was sipping more tea when she asked that, so he quickly coughed. "Ummm...I believe I've already said I wasn't in a relationship..." He smiled at her. Why did she want to know? Was that his queue that she liked him? Bakura thought for a moment. No...but maybe...

He sucked up his fear and asked too. "Are...are you single as well...?"

[Awne Tigra]

Awne felt like her cheeks were on fire, she knew that. of course she did! why...oh why did she ask it again, now she felt a fool. His question caught her off guard as she lifted her head to look to him blinking "ah..y..yes I am." she says softly, smiling shyly. was he just asking to be polite or...did he maybe...find her attractive?
