RP: Dinner and getting to know each other
Who: Viktor and Melinda

What: Dinner out with Melinda

Where: Black Sea Restaurant, London (Bulgarian Restaurant)

When: [backdated a couple hours] Tuesday April 29, night

Rating: SFW for now at least

Viktor did not mind that their dinner was sooner than he had initially expected. In fact, it pleased him greatly that she wanted to make sure they had dinner before things got rather busy with all the memorials and the busyness that surrounded them.

He had met her at the appointed time, dressed nice but not fancy, his attire Muggle. He’d kissed her hand. He was relatively certain she knew this was a date, but that hint should definitely help too. He very much liked this kind woman and this opportunity to get to spend some time with just her was something he was very pleased with.

He’d apparated them to an alcove near one of his favorite restaurants. At least, it was one of his favorites when his mother wasn’t around to cook. He hoped she did not mind ethnic food, but he would offer her the choice of going elsewhere. He already had a couple of backups in mind.

“This,” he said as heput a hand on the small of her back to lead her to the door, “is one of the best Bulgarian restaurants in London. The owners are friends of mine. The vife of the owner, she is some sort of distant cousin to my father, I think. Ve haff never figured it out. But if it is not to your taste, I know several other nice places ve can go.”

"Excellent," Viktor said, and decided to have the same. He was able to grab the attention of a server with just a small move; someone had likely been waiting. He was a familiar enough fixture here, known not so much for his wizarding reputation, for there were only a few magicals who really came through here, but through the many times he'd been here with family and without, and for the things he did subtly in the Muggle world, sometimes with help of people like those here.

"I vill have the same," he said. He raised his eyebrows in inquiry if he could order for her. Once orders were placed, he smiled at her, hands comfortably clasped in front of him. "So vhat are you regular favorite foods, ven someone is not stealing you away to a new ethnic restaurant?" he asked.

With a small nod, Melinda let Viktor know that she was fine with letting him order for her. Generally she didn’t have a problem with that, it only became a problem to her if whoever ordered didn’t take her tastes into consideration or had a very good reason for doing so. She watched, intrigued by the way his lips and tongue so easily formed the words and sounds so foreign to her, as he ordered, and returned his smile when he looked back at her.

Unconsciously she mirrored his pose; her hand resting comfortably on the table in front of her. “Mmm,” she chuckled. “I love seafood, but I don’t count fish’n’chips as seafood. Nothing wrong with it, I love it at the right times, but the lightness of fish and shellfish in particular that I just can’t resist. Other than that, there’s a Lebanese restaurant just down the street from Diagon Alley that makes the most amazing food. But I love just about any kind of food, though generally on the lighter side, since I’m surrounded by heavy creams and sugar all day long.”

It was nice in many ways to be able to order in his native tongue, or at least one of the two languages he'd grown up speaking. The server seemed to enjoy it as much as he, though the man's English was decent. He smiled and finished ordering with a cordial thank you.

"Ah, so not the 'traditional' fish and chips," he said with a nod. That was what he'd been told the first time he'd visited this country, anyway, back when his English had been very rough. "I haff always liked the shellfish, yes. Lobster and such." And the butter sauces were divine, if more than he should eat most days. He nodded again. "I can see vhy you prefer it, da. I tend to eat very, hm, healthy? As I should to keep my job. But I like to indulge sometimes." Not that having a toddler and running around chasing him all day wouldn't wear off almost any meal.
