My Lady Astaroshe, sincere apologies for being so tardy with this request. I would be very much honored if you will grace me with your presence for this evening's dinner. I remember I promised you this a few months back.

And here I thought I was such a bore as to not receive a follow up on an invite.

A bore? Never. I was merely held up with a few personal emergencies. It looks like I would have to work harder to remedy that particular opinion.

Would Pandora's suit you?

It will suit me fine.

I trust you have no problem with a night outing.

Of course not. Shall I come and escort you?

Naturally. It would be awfully rude if I hadn't done that. Seven?

[At nine, she was prompt, Astaroth was outside of her building, flicking back her slightly longer hair, lips pursed as she eyed the remnants of sunset on the horizon.

She had been so caught up in securing the others lately, she hadn't taken a single moment for herself. And wasn't inclined to, but... she had done all she could for security, and she wouldn't go far.]

*The pursuit of a noble, Isaak thinks, requires a certain amount of finesse, especially one as fiery as she was. Calla lilies in hand and dressed impeccably in one of his standard suits, he sees her and smiles, ever the charming gentleman*

Lady Asta. I hope I have not kept you waiting.

[Indeed it did. A touch too familiar, but she'd let him toe that line for now, the click of her heels signaling when she turned]

No, you've not. Perfect timing.

*A courtly bow, and a brief kiss to the hand - it was all about manners, and he murmurs*

Good. I wouldn't want to upset one as beautiful as you are.

You flatter me.

[But she almost expected it. After all, she was not unaware of her own appearence, she would be daft if she weren't. But she extended her hand gracefully for the kiss, fingers curling]

*He chuckles a little as he straightens, giving her fingers the briefest, slightly squeeze before he gives her the lilies* Do you still consider it flattery if it's true?

I judge that on a case by case basis.

[She took the flowers with a cursory sniff, then blinked and went back to take a better scent. Her senses were already sharp, and the smell was heady, but not intrusive. Rather nice.]

A gift, even.

I take it that the flowers are to your liking.

They are.

I will allow the flattery, this time.

Of course. And here I was hoping for a 'next time'. *He says lightly, even as they reach the restaurant. He nods to the waiter, who escorts them further in*

*He smiles as the waiter shows them to their seats, and he steps away, if only to pull out her chair for her.*

Well then, judging by that, I will have to try my best to impress you tonight.

[Manners, how nice to see in a Terran. Despite her purported Outer experiences, she still wasn't as firmly versed in their nobility and ways as some thought she was, a nod as she took her seat.]

I'm looking forward to your performance, Mister Butler.

Quite well, actually. The City has been rather kind to me; although I'm currently looking into employment regarding the City Hospital. Too many people get wounded in this City, and it seems like they're understaffed.

And you?

Hardly. It's quite a humble profession in Londinium. *he makes his own order, then places an order for a bottle of fine wine before he continues*

I assume there weren't very many Terran ones in your country.

Ah.

[Ah, wine. She had a few capsules on her. Bitter, but. Needed.]

Well, of course there were-

[Just... not that SHE dealt with. The Terran doctors tended to the Terrans, she had Methuselah doctors herself.]

*Isaak's known that, of course. He's always made it his business to know, but Isaac's eyes widen in mild surprise*

There's no need for that.

If you worry too much about impressing me, you'll end up boring me, anyway.

Of course, there is that. *he chuckles a little even as the bottle of wine arrives, snug in its towel and the bucket of ice. Lifting it from its place, he gestures to her glass*

Would you care for some?

As you're offering.

There are people who manufacture these pills here as well?

There are. Or I would not be as well adjusted.

[She popped a pill in to the drink, taking it in her hand. Once she had found the taste bitter, even preferred the smell of real blood. But after Venice... the pills would do.]

That's very fortunate, then. It always helps to have one less inconvenience to worry about. *His remark is casual, almost off-handed, even as he takes a sip of his own wine*

Hmm, they really do serve fine wine here.

I do, when I've the time.
