He can't help but grin like an idiot at her suggestion. It wasn't at all what he meant by it, but he will definitely be on board. He's never had a girl want to make out with him (or more???) in the back of a theater so this is kind of exciting.

"So what's something about you I don't know yet? Any weird phobias? Imaginary friends as a kid? I know the Veil sort of makes some of it hard but... I just want to know you."

[succubestie]

Bo chuckles, shaking her head.

"Any childhood stories are a no go, though given what things were like when I popped through the Veil? That's probably a good thing. I've got seven days worth of pre-Veil memories, and they aren't great ones."

She pops another piece of sushi in her mouth, chews thoughtfully and swallows.

"Let's see. My favorite color is black, if that wasn't completely obvious. Though I would say blue and purple might come in a close second and third."

[badexample]

"Mine's green. Which is sort of the worst when you're an Irish transplant. Sort of a walking stereotype in that, I guess." He doesn't seem that upset about it, really. On the scale of things that he gets insecure about, this is minor.

"Only seven days? I can't imagine it. I mean I know loads of people from through the Veil. But it's just one of those things you can't really know unless you've been through it."

[succubestie]

"Doesn't sound any more stereotypical than a succubus who prefers black leather and thigh high boots."

Which is what she's wearing 90 percent of the time. Just saying. They can be walking stereotypes together.

"You get kind of used to it. I'm guessing I have a lot of memories that I don't exactly mind losing."

[badexample]

He doesn't want to press her about her past, especially since he knows what she remembers can't be all that great, or she would probably talk about it freely.

"All the more reason to make better memories, yeah?"

[succubestie]

Her expression is both impressed and approving.

"Exactly. I think we can add this one to my favorites list."

And to think, she'd never been much of a Valentine's Day girl before.

[badexample]

The grin he gives her could be very easily described as dopey.

"Yeah? Well... good. Yeah, that's great actually. I'm glad you're having a good time. Because I am too. Really good." Pinching himself every day of his life for how he got so lucky. "So did I successfully convert you into a sushi lover, then?"

[succubestie]

"I think you're well on your way. I'm just going to have to try a few more."

But it's pretty clear that she's definitely digging it. She's the adventurous type in almost everything. A little raw fish was never going to scare her.

[badexample]

"Mmm, fair enough. Try this out then." And he hands over something spicier. It's one of his favorites. I still don't eat sushi and researching sushi is just like idk fish stuff.

"I try to make it myself at the castle sometimes. It mostly just turns into a pile of rice and fish on a plate with seaweed draped on top, but..." He shrugs. An attempt was made.

[succubestie]

Spicy tuna? Red Dragon? WHATEVER I BET IT'S FUCKING DELICIOUS.

"Well, considering how they're like tiny works of art, you probably have to go to school or something, right?"

Not that Bo would really know. She can't cook. Sorry, Andrew.

[badexample]

"Culinary school, maybe. Fish 101. Actually since it's pretty advanced it would be like Fish 452- how to roll this shit with rice." That's definitely the technical course name. Yep.

[succubestie]

She practically snorts when she laughs. She loves his sense of humor, okay.

"Hey, they made this other one look literally like a caterpillar. I can't tell if they went to culinary or art school."

[badexample]

"Probably a weird combination of both. Gotta give 'em credit though. Really does look like a fucking caterpillar." He starts laughing then, nearly seeming like his nerves are gone.

[succubestie]

She's just going to straight up snag the head of that Caterpiller Roll because yum. Goodbye caterpillar.

"We'll need to go to one of those places where the cook the food on the table in front of you, too."

[badexample]

Well, now it will never grow up to be a butterfly roll. Rude.

"Hibachi? Think that's what it's called. Never been to one but they look really cool." He grabs part of the caterpillar's mid section to devour.

[succubestie]

It'll deal. Or not. Whatever.

"That sounds right? Japanese, at least." She snags another, too, grinning after she swallows. "Then it's a date."

[badexample]

"Another one. Seem to be making a habit of those." And he's completely okay with that, which is pretty obvious by the enormous grin he has when he says that.

"So what's something you haven't been able to do yet but really want to? Here in the city or just anywhere."

[succubestie]

She grabs another piece, chewing thoughtfully.

"Oh, I don't now. I want to go bungee-jumping someday. Or fly in a helicopter, maybe. Hell, I'll try pretty much anything once."

[badexample]

His eyes go a little wide. She is into way more dangerous things than he is. But the weird thing? He's pretty sure he would do them with her. Just her. Because she makes him want to do crazy things.

"I like that. Never really been able to have that attitude, but it's... You make it sound good."
