Bidnes

[ He spends too long trying to remember how to input the question mark so he sends it. What is that word. ]

[wisecracked]

[Ugh, making her type things out.]

business
n it matters cuz he likes to mess w/me just like i do him

[invoking]

[ His replies are much slower while he tries to decipher what she's trying to say. ]

He likes to do what
kenzi i dont understand what you are saying

[wisecracked]

[Okay, enough of this texting. So she's going to call him instead, so answer quickly seaweed head.]

[invoking]

[ He answers it after the first ring. ]

Hello?

[wisecracked]

[Good boy.]

This is easier, obviously.

As I was saying, Bossman likes to mess with me which I do to him. It's like this silly game we play.

[invoking]

Kenzi? Oh, it's you. [ He didn't think she would call so soon, but it is better this way. ] Why couldn't you have just typed it out properly?

And the results of the auction are... they shouldn't matter to your boss.

[wisecracked]

Doi it's me. And because typing it out takes forever.

I dunno. Maybe he thinks something will come of it for me or maybe he wants me to start a relationship so he can meddle. Either way, he's cray but that's beside the point.

He uh...he offered to pay for one of my dates at a four star restaurant. As I don't know Roy that well and that wasn't really what he was offering I thought I'd ask you. Since he won't leave me alone until I tell him yes or no.

[invoking]

Relationship?! [ Wow, he really does sound meddlesome. Gil has already decided he doesn't want to meet that man any time soon. ]

But he doesn't have to! It's your decision since you won the auction!

[wisecracked]

[Too bad Gil, you're gonna meet him sooner than you'd like.]

Which is why all I have to do is tell him yes or no. But see, he's paying for it so might as well take advantage right?

[invoking]

[ And Gil has what Xanatos wants: immortality!! Or some... watered down version of it. ]

A four star restaurant? Aren't those expensive? You can't even get in without reservations and the appropriate clothes.

[wisecracked]

[That could get messy.]

You've got the clothes right? And he's paying for it, he has the money for it. And it won't be junk food for a change.

C'mon, y'know you wanna.

[invoking]

It's a generous offer, but I couldn't accept. [ It doesn't feel right. ] Didn't you want cooking lessons? [ Yes, he's nervous about this "date" business again. ]

[wisecracked]

C'mon, it'd be nice.

[Her grin can practically be heard.] Cooking lessons was gonna happen one way or another.

[invoking]

Shouldn't I be the one paying? [ Never mind it's her choice as it was her money. ]

[wisecracked]

Not if Xanatos is offering.

[invoking]

[ There's a stretch of silence followed by Gil clearing his throat. ]

Is it what you want?

[ He's still going to find the jerk who signed him up and destroy him. ]

[wisecracked]

If you're okay with it. I don't want this to be super awkward or anything.

[A pause.] If it puts you at ease any, I don't expect a kiss at the end of the night.

[invoking]

I-- [ WHOOPS, there's a loud clatter at the end and a distant "Damn it!"

Yeah, he dropped the phone. ]

[invoking]

Hello? [ He presses it close, wondering if she's still there. ] Well, you did win the auction and I owe you for... saving me...

[wisecracked]

[Dropping your phone is not cool, Gil. Kenzi holds her phone away form her ear because, ow, what was loud. At least her other ear isn't ringing.]

Yeah, I'm still here. And I said I don't expect one, no reason to freak out.

[invoking]

I'm not freaking out!

[ But it does take off some pressure. ]

... Which restaurant?

[wisecracked]

Uh...I dunno, he didn't say. I'll have to let you know after I tell him. [Doesn't she just sound so pleased?]

[invoking]

[ Kenzi's boss is evil. ]

Alright... you can text or call me back with the time and place.

[wisecracked]

[He really is, yet Kenzi likes him.]

Will do~
