WHO: Friar Tuck, Ariadne
WHEN: Wednesday evening
WHERE: ...restaurant and then ?!?!?!
WHAT: Saving a date
WARNINGS: Hopefully kissies and maybe smutties?

Upon hearing that Ariadne had been abandoned by her loser of a date, Tuck had wanted to offer to show up and try to salvage what was left of her evening. She could rant to him and he would try to make her night not a disaster. Of course then she went and invited him and offered him dumplings!

What a delight!

He pulled on what he hoped was a nice shirt and was out the door before he could think twice about it, but not without a goodbye snuggle from Flora. When he walked into the restaurant, he found Ariadne easily. "Hey, you," he said, offering her a hug if she wanted it.

	"Of course she is," Ariadne smiled, leaning forward and smiling at the phone. "Oh babies! I do miss having babies - there's no way I'd have another one where my life is, at the moment, but I loved having children. Look at her, that mouth. Oh Tuck, well done to all of you. Here, chardonnay?" she asked, offering to pour him some of the wine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I certainly never thought I would have another," Tuck mused. He nodded to chardonnay, and once his glass was full, he held it up to clink against hers. "Life throws it's little curveballs though, and she's the greatest gift." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Little curveballs," Ariadne echoed, amused at his understatement; it was so charmingly British. "Some days life is nothing but curveballs, doesn't it feel like? Tonight, for example." But really, she could use any night from her life... especially with Dionysus was around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It definitely does," Tuck said, taking a bite of the curry. It was delicious and spicy and he groaned. "This is amazing! Thank you for inviting me. As for my church, they're doing well. Champing at the bit to be able to meet Evie, the lot of them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can't blame them," Ariadne propped her chin on her hand as she listened to him talk about his congregation, his family. "It's so nice, listening to someone talk about the people they love with such genuine enthusiasm," she told him, with a smile. "So - thank you for coming! Maybe I should ruin more dates around here with my overbearing opinions." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friartuck 2021-08-18 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah yes, your overbearing opinions on how people matter and deserve to be treated with kindness and understanding. You monster," he winked. "We could just cut to the chase and have a date ourselves," he grinned winningly at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariadne sat up a little straighter, interested, and won by that winning grin. They could, couldn't they? Take their friendship to another level? "I think I'd like that, cute-butt Friar," she said, keeping her eyes on him as she took a mouthful of her wine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friartuck 2021-08-18 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Cute-butt Friar!" he exclaimed, amused. "Well, my butt feels mollified, thank you," he grinned and took another bite of the curry before adding, "I would like it too. I think you're wonderful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findyourwayout 2021-08-18 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	Yes this could work out quite nicely; he talked about mollified butts and called her wonderful. "I'm pretty good," Ariadne smiled back at him, reaching over to spear a piece of potato from the curry. "So I know you're open, but do you date a lot, outside Will?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friartuck 2021-08-18 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Not often," he admitted. "And by not often I mean literally about three times in a year." There just hadn't been that many people who captured his interest in that way. "I am a bit of a homebody," he laughed. "What about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Definitely not a homebody," Ariadne smiled as she shook her head. "I don't think I've ever really got over spending the early part of my life trapped on an island, in that palace, I think... I just want to feel the metaphorical wind in my hair and often that comes in the form of dating. Or hooking up with handsome strangers. I am a sucker for a handsome stranger. Or a handsome friend," she added, wiggling her eyebrows over her glass.

	"And here I am, literal forest folk, shutting myself out of the wind," Tuck shook his head, amused. "Still...being trapped anywhere is- Mm. At least my little parsonage is a place I choose. A place I love." Then he gave her a wry smile, "ah, we have that in common. I am a sucker for a handsome stranger too, and I think we all know I fell for a handsome friend!"

"That you did, I have seen your Will Scarlett, mmm," she said, with a cheeky bite of her lip. They were both rather attractive men, and she'd enjoyed how flirtacious Will was online; she was sure she'd get on with him in person as well. "You both have excellent taste in handsome. And in places," she added, with a little less flirtacion, though her smile was no less genuine. "Choice is important. So important. I can't wait to see the Parsonage, it sounds wonderful."

	"He's a sight, isn't he?" Tuck grinned. And of course now his mind was filled with images of threesomes and he needed to calm himself down a little bit. "Well, the only one home at the moment is our cockapoo, Flora. Well, and the gnomes. If you would like to retire there after dinner?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariande leaned forward over the table, partially to give herself a better angle to spear another momo, partially because she was well aware the v neck of her jumpsuit opened a little when she leaned this way. "I do like the way this wind is blowing," she said, plucking the dumpling from the plate. "Yes, I would like to retire there after dinner." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, that view. Tuck glanced at her cleavage and then he gave her a winning smile. "It's a deal then! I'll give you the grand tour." He was going to end in the guest room, though. There was just something about sleeping with someone else in the bed he shared with Will- It didn't seem right unless Will was involved too. And yes, technically the guest room was the nursery, but there currently wasn't a baby in it, so it was fine.

	"Great!" Ariadne chirped, and stole another bit of potato from the curry. "Oh, we gonna taste spicy," she commented, laughing at herself for a moment before she cut herself with an "Oh - you are asking me back to your place for sex, right? I'm not just Greek-washing your intentions, am I?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friartuck 2021-08-19 09:28 am UTC (link)
	"That was the hope!" he grinned. She was such a delight, honestly. "Though you do have a good point. I should probably make sure my tongue is despiced before I put it anywhere sensitive-" He had made that mistake before with Norah- "But no, definitely not Greek-washing!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ooh, tongues could be going sensitive places, could they? Ariadne wiggled her eyebrow at him, amused and turned on in equal measures, which was one of her favourite states to be. "Good then," she said, sliding her leg forward between his, and lifting her wine glass at the same speed she lifted her ankle, running it up the inside of his leg. "Glad we're on the same page. Makes me wonder what else we'll have in common."

Tuck let out a gusty breath at her ankle running up his leg. Yes. Yes, this was such a perfect surprise. And he hoped, a good way to salvage a ruined date for her! "Well let's see-" Tuck said with a grin, and he hel up one finger, "we both care about people," he held up another, "we both like spicy food," another, "a mutual attraction to Will Scarlet! Tell me, are you an ice cream after sex kind of person? Because I have cherry blossom and vanilla bean ice cream I made in my freezer."

	"After, before, during," Ariadne mirrored him, holding up one, two and then three fingers. "There's some interesting, cold ice cream/hot tongue sensations involved there. Sticky though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friartuck 2021-08-19 10:01 am UTC (link)
	"Sticky can be good if it involves ice cream!" Tuck chuckled. He ate another bite and sighed happily. The curry really was delicious but now he kind of wanted to get home... "I would really like to hold your hand," he said, extending his left hand across the table. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Then do it, Friar," she said with another smile, holding out her hand and feeling warm and touched as his fingers wrapped around her. She stroked the back of his hand with her thumb, exploring the feel of his skin, the bump of his knuckles. "Hands are so sexy," she said, thoughtfully, watching their fingers together. "There's so much life on display in the hands. Each callus, each line, each scar. Don't you think?"

	friartuck 2021-08-19 10:18 am UTC (link)
	"I do," Tuck nodded. "We use them for everything. Entire stories could be told by the landscape of our hands." He rubbed her hand with his thumb as well, enjoying the smooth feeling of her skin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findyourwayout 2021-08-19 10:22 am UTC (link)
	"Mm, and our wrists," she said, abandoning her wine glass to reach across the table and stroke his wrist with her other hand. "And our forearms... I do believe this, but it is also quite the excuse to touch you. You have very nice forearms." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
