Michael had been looking forward to this since they'd decided to get together. Orla was just cool as hell and he hoped this went well. He showered, shaved and got dressed. He stayed casual since they were going to the park, but made sure he was still fairly neat. He put on a vintage t-shirt and some jeans with a courderoy blazer and his chucks. He attempted to fix his hair, which he liked to think was artfully messy and apparated to London.

He wasn't too far from where they'd agreed to meet and on the way he stopped in a small flower shop. He didn't want to get roses or something that seemed cheesy or overdone. Michael spotted a container of loose sunflowers. He picked what he thought looked like the brightest one and bought it. With a happy smile and a little hum he headed to Orla's flat. Finding the door, he knocked on it and leaned against the frame waiting for her to answer. He sniffed at the sunflower and smiled.

"Well it is better than what I can do with guitar and that would be nothing." Orla laughed sweetly as she tilted her head and body back and just went with the swing. She loved the feeling of the swings and the rush of the air. The gliding was stopped by a bump which signified she was going rather high, so since she reached her goal she just let her legs hang and let the swing slow on its own. "What is your favourite song?"

Michael got himself ready and jumped off. He hadn't been going that high so landed easily in a crouch. He turned around and sat on the ground just watching her with a smile. "Well my favorite to play is Whole Lotta Love by Zeppelin, but to just listen? Hmm...," he trailed off looking thoughtful a moment. "Probably Social Distortion's cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire." He paused a moment then nodded. "Yeah. I just love the amped up guitars and the way Mike Ness just growls it out." He smiled. "So how about you?"

Orla looked at him and didn't feel nervous like she expected to with him just watching her. Orla grinned as she listened to his explanation and just nodded her head. "Oh well I don't have as great of an answer as yours but I really like I've Just Seen a Face by the Beatles. I think it is because it gets stuck in my head a lot." Orla grinned as her feet hit the ground and dragged across. She got off she swing and held out her hand, she had a bit of a devious look on her face. "Come on get on the swing. I can't leave the swings without doing the spider swing thing, ritual." She wasn't actually serious but she really wanted to do it.

"Ahh a Beatles fan," he smiled and shook his head. Michael didn't dislike them completely. They had some merits, but he was definitely more of a Rolling Stones kind of guy. He took her hand and stood up using the other hand to swipe the dirt off his pants. Michael looked at her with raised brows. Was she serious? You can handle this. Just think of McGonagall in a bikini or something. "Alright then. Can't break the ritual," he said with a little smile. Michael sat down in one of the swings, made sure he was well seated before holding out his arms to her.

"Yeah I like them, my mum loved 'em." She shrugged her shoulders as she looked at him dust of his pants before sitting down on the swing. She was curious to see how this would turn out and if Michael would get all nervous and awkward? He watched as he sat down and she moved onto his lap awkwardly putting her legs through the opening in the swing. Finally when she was settled she was staring forward at him. "Thanks for not breaking my ritual." She grinned at him and couldn't help giving him a short kiss.
