[ 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.

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~
