Who: Kate Bishop and Matt Murdock
When: Friday Afternoonish
Where: The infamous orchard of sassy and snarky apples
What: ~~A date~~ An outing that hopefully doesn't end up with more hospital and clinic trips. There are no promises.
Warnings: PUNS. All the puns. No, really. Watch out for them.

There had been warnings. There had been assurances that these trees were not normal.

Which meant that Kate, despite knowing that another outing could prove dangerous given their track record, had given Matt a look. Were they at that point where he could understand looks? Kate had done her best to make it as obvious as possible. The "We should not go out there but we should also definitely go out there because us" look.

A look that was certainly followed with a cheeky "You know what they say: an apple a day..."

It was hard not to have the reaction Kate had at the sight of the orchard. Stretching across the city, Kate stared slightly slack-jawed and eyes wide. It smelled nice, too. Not like those apple-scented candles and body sprays. Fresh and earthy with a sweetness.

"Take a picture, lady! It'll last longer!"

There was a gentle thud not too far away before a particularly dull red apple rolled it's way to stop at Kate's foot. The apple turned and blew a raspberry. "How do you like them apples, toots?"

"Yeah, why don't you see what Miss Lady over there can offer you." Taking the little apple from Matt, Kate gave it a gentle roll toward the other batch and gave a light snort. "...Did we just set two apples up for a date? Is that what we do now? I mean, they definitely make a decent pair."

Puns. They were doing puns now, too. At least Kate was even if she was exceptionally terrible at them. Or amazingly good at them. It was entirely up to the person on the receiving end, of course.

"I think it's supposed to be one of those quote romantic settings unquote." Kate had raised her hands to, indeed, make air quotes before catching herself. She gave herself a point for that. "I may be more of the sitting on the rooftop listening to the scanner sort of girl, though." Or watching reality television. That was always good to see someone else's dumpster fire on display rather than your own.

"Just as long as we take a break on the killer robots for a while. I can't afford to lose anymore inches off my hair." Kate found his hand again and gave it a light squeeze. Joking aside, it was clear she didn't want Matt getting hurt again to such a serious degree.

Matt was not doing puns. Matt never did puns, and if he did, they were an accident. Honest. "I'm just glad you're the only one witnessing this. Even if I can feel Foggy's judgment despite him not being here." No matter how long he'd been in Goodland, he absolutely still missed his best friend. At least this time they weren't separated because Matt had completely screwed things up between them. He was good at that.

The corners of his lips turned up as she stopped herself from making air quotes. Because he knew that's what she'd been about to do. She really was completely ridiculous and he really was still insanely attracted to her. Probably for the fact that she wanted to sit on rooftops and listen to scanners. "Aww, that was our first date. And honestly, probably many future dates."

It was, after all, her desire to do good in the world around her that had drawn him to her in the first place.

Lightly, his hand reached up, brushing through much shorter hair. "I don't know, I like it this length. Feels softer, even."
