[Oz is sitting at the beach in Sector One. It’s one of the first times he’s ventured out and about since that class about werewolves and how to kill them. Right now he’s sitting in the sand close to where the surf is coming in, his pants are rolled up so that the water just hits his feet and ankles before receding again. He’s leaning back on his palms, eyes closed, face turned up in spite of the overcast sky. He looks very calm, as always – very peaceful, as always. But also, as per usual, what’s on the outside doesn't always match what’s on the inside with Oz.

He’s enjoying the quiet and his solitude. But he won’t turn away anyone who might come across him.]

	Special and meat-less? [He smirks lightly and bows his head.] You're sweet. I'll keep trying with the racking anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. I got a recipe for a portobello mushroom burger I been wantin' to try out. [She bumps his shoulder with hers. ] I ain't goin' to stop you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Boy does he want to hold her hand right now. And he knows she's wearing gloves, which means he could. But every time he starts to feel something now, he remembers that he has Bay and Kelden back home. Maybe. If they weren't dead from the army he'd left on their doorstep. It left him with a conundrum where he didn't know where to put those emotions he was building over her. ]

Tell me about the last thing you remember from home when you were brought here.

[If Rogue knew about Bay and Kelden, she'd have some fairly mixed feelings over the whole thing. She's definitely got crush feelings for him. They might even be more than crush feelings, especially if she knew those feelings were reciprocated, and Oz is a married man with a child. However, in her cluelessness, she would like to hold his hand. ]

Let's see...I was standin' in a line at a clinic in New York City. They were givin' away The Cure. It suppressed mutant genes so that anybody who got it ended up just a normal human bein'. I woulda been able to touch people and kiss 'em and have any sorta normal relationship I wanted.

[While she's talking, she reaches out, slipping her gloved hand over Oz's so that they are sort of holding hands.]

I left the line. I decided I didn't want the cure. Anybody who wanted to be in a relationship with me would just have to like me the way I was. Am. It's a part of me and even if I hate that part of me, I don't wanna take it away. It's like the gap in my teeth. I wouldn't recognize myself without it.

	[ His heart might skip a beat right there, when her hand touches his, their fingers just barely entwined. And an easy smile spreads over his lips, a smile that fades just as gradually. ] Good choice. Plus, I like the gap in your teeth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She ducked her head, going pink at his compliment and the way he actually smiles.] Thanks. I mean...yeah. [She hesitates another moment, pressing her lips together.] It makes having a relationship hard...you know? [She looks up at him from beneath her eyelashes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People underestimate a good tooth gap. [ Yes, he knows that that's not what she was talking about. He looks sideways at her, meeting her gaze. ] The wolf thing was hard on relationships for awhile too. [ And sometimes still is. ] So I get it. In a different way, but still... there's getting.

	[She lifts one shoulder, her cheek tilting toward it as she smiles. It's a good place to be, with someone who at least understands even if they don't get the details of things. ] Thanks. [She bites her bottom lip hard. ] I think sometimes the hard is worth it. I mean...I guess that's what I keep hoping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ His fingers lift beneath hers just enough to lace with hers. ] Agreement. There are tons of famous quotes about it, going through the bad to get to the good, best things are worth fighting for, general reasons for going through the hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Her smile turns mischievous, flirty. ] Are you sayin' datin' me is like an inspirational movie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	[ Amusement sparks in his eyes again. ] It's definitely not unlike an inspirations movie. [ A pause. ] And now I'm strangely compelled to ask you on an actual date. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-08-08 01:45 pm UTC (link)
	[ She bites her bottom lip, trying to quell a smile unsuccessfully. ] I'd not so strangely be compelled to say yes. If you did ask, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 02:45 pm UTC (link)
	Good to know. [ He nods, and is silent for a few moments before speaking again. ] On this hypothetical actual date, what would be your ideal thing to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-08-08 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Uhm...[ She pauses to think about that. She hasn't been on many dates. ] I don't know. I guess gettin' some food would be good, like in a real sorta restaurant. Maybe goin' to bowl or play pool. Somethin' like that? What'd be an ideal thing for you to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-10 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	Pool, live music, food. It all sounds... good. [ He pauses a moment, squashing down those conflicting feelings over what he's about to do. ] So how about the Bistro? On a date... with me. For the food part. [ He pauses, his features twisting just a bit. ] That was much more eloquent in my head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-08-10 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	[ Such a very big smile, Oz. He even gets a laugh. ] Sugar, you sounded just fine to me. I think the Bistro on a date with you for the food part would be awesome. There a particular day you wanted to do this date? I gotta have time to go shoppin' for something to wear. [ Because if it was going to be a proper date, she was going to treat it that way. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He's so glad to make her smile like that. It forces just a hint of a smile from him as he considers her question. ] How about two days from now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-08-13 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	[ She ducks her head when she sees that hint of a smile. She always feels like she's accomplished something when Oz smiles. ] That'll be good. It'll give me lotsa time. [ She hesitates then leans forward her lips just barely brushing his cheek. Not enough to really activate her power, but he might feel a tiny something.] I'm lookin' forward to it.
