Marvel: Wine Tasting
Who: Sebastian & Evie (and Wren & Luke if they decide to come)
What: A blind date at a wine tasting?
Where: Sebastian's wine shop
When: Thursday evening
Warnings/Rating: TBD

It seemed that putting the wine-tasting shortly before the holidays had been a good idea, given the number of people that had responded and the turn out thus far. Sebastian hadn't been sure, given that he was still new to the area, but chances were paying off and the little shop was flourishing. He was doing his job as host, though he had several others there to assist with the tasting, people who knew and loved wine more than he could ever imagine feeling. Truly, it was those that he worked with that really made the shop work.

Sharp in navy and checks, Sebastian did the rounds of the shop, checking in with this person and that person, all the while keeping an eye on the door. He wasn't sure what Evie looked like or if she would arrive with Wren and Luke, and the anticipation of whatever was to come was making him itch inside. Something needed to happen before he went out of his mind.

Sebastian let his hand hang in the air for several awkward moments before he lowered it, sliding it into his pocket instead, as casual of a stance as he could muster right then. He wasn't sure if this was her, or not, and as he listened to the explanation that she rattled off, Sebastian came to several conclusions.

First, this was most likely Evie. Could it be anyone else given the very specific things she had mentioned?

And second, this was a lot more complicated than Wren had ever let on.

He closed his eyes for a moment and thought of Nell, Nell who was someplace else, not even in this world most likely, and most decidedly a far cry from the woman who stood in front of him. When he opened his eyes once more, that smile was still in place, easy going and sincere. "I'm going to throw out a wild guess here, but are you Evie?"

	Evie's eyebrows raised slightly when he closed his eyes for a moment, of course this was Sebastian. Of course Wren had set up a date with a guy who was at work. She laughed. She actually laughed. "Yes. I'm Evie. And if Wren asks what I said first tell her it was super charming. Please." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The laugh had him grinning, his smile warming up a bit more, if that were possible. "I will say nothing but positives about our first words together," Sebastian said with a grin. "I'm quite sure she'll have a lot of questions for the two of us when all's said and done, after all."

He gestured to the room behind them with one hand. "Do you enjoy wine? Or did she convince you to come in to some place where you don't even enjoy what they serve?"

"Many questions. I will avoid answering them at all costs, I'm a terrible liar. So I'm going to be looking to you to do all the lying for me," she said shaking her head a bit.

She smiled, "Do I enjoy wine? I probably over enjoy wine. That whole dead boyfriend and single mom thing kind of comes with an over enjoyment of wine. Its in the contract." It was a light comment, serious subject matter, but a light comment just the same.

"You may be a terrible liar, but Wren has the uncanny ability to read me like an open book. I'm no better in regard to her." But he grinned nonetheless, co-conspirators in the game of Wren.

Sebastian led the way further into the shop, away from the groups that had gathered and towards the bar instead. "White or red? Sweet or dry?" he asked as he pulled out two glasses and began looking at the bottles in preparation for her answer. "And Wren didn't say that you were a mother. How old is your kid?" He had nothing against the state of her life, dead boyfriend and kid lumped together. Everyone had their own baggage they carried around, himself included, so who was he to start throwing judgement around?

"Oh there is that to consider," Evie had the same problem with Wren. Even if she wasn't in the same damn Door as her. "We're so screwed."

She followed him, looking around at the shop, and laughed at the options he gave her. She had opinions, but it had been a while since someone had asked her. "Wow. I usually go for whatever is three dollars or less. But red. And sweet. Almost Port sweet, but not quite." Hey, if he was going to ask...

She sighed at the lack of mention regarding Daisy, she didn't think it was a deliberate oversight, or meant menacingly, but she knew Wren didn't think much about the things Evie worried about. "Of course she didn't," she said smiling a bit, rubbing her forehead a bit nervously and tucking her hands safely back in the pockets of her coat. "Daisy will be two in May."

"Three dollars or less? Then you're definitely in for a treat." Sebastian gave her a grin as ducked away momentarily, returning less than a minute later with something that fit her taste. Uncorking it took only a moment and then two glasses were poured, one pushed over towards her and the other kept for himself. Elbows were leaned against the counter as she talked about her daughter. It really didn't surprise him that Wren hadn't said anything; perhaps she knew it was a little tidbit that wouldn't bother him.

"I've heard two year olds can be quite the handful. I haven't had personal experience, but I applaud anyone who has children. I'm sure it's..." He trailed off with a sip, sweet just as she had requested. "An adventure." Not one he would mind, he didn't think, but it just wasn't in the books for him. Not yet.

"I've gotten some decent tastes from 3 dollars or less!" she said with a teasing grin. When he returned with the wine and poured her a glass she thanked him and took a drink. It was very tasty, and she nodded in approval. "Very nice. So, you have a wine shop, do you have any wine that yoiu make on your own?"

She took a larger drink at the mention of two year olds being a handful, but it was moslty a joke. "Handful and adventure are understatements. But she's great. Really great."
