[He's enjoying himself a bath when he calls. Because what's modesty? He's never had it. Chris gets a smile when he picks up.]

Hey handsome. You got a minute? I've got a question for you.

[He answers from somewhere in the Down, the brick side of Nate's theatre at his back where he'd ducked in to answer. When he sees Lux, naked as ever, his expression brightens immediately into a smile.]

At least that's a good reason for not having clothes, this time. I've always got a minute for you and, this time, an answer. What's on your mind?

If you want my opinion, anytime is a great time for not having clothes.

[He laughs though, not the least bit offended.]

Anyway, I wanna take you on a date. You interested?

That sounds about right.

[It's certainly what he's come to expect from Lux, though in an endearing way at this point.]

Me? Really? I mean...yeah, all right, I'd be happy to. Been a bit since I've had a date.

Yeah you. You're really cute and I like when we're spending time together.

So I figured I'd like to know you better. Seemed like a date was a great way to go about it.

Well, conveniently, I like spending time with you.

Good sir, I am at your disposal at your next opportunity.

That works out pretty well. I'm a free guy.

[He grins at him and sits up, water pouring across his skin.]

You got time tomorrow, handsome?

[He hadn't considered the look of water beading on Lux's skin, but it might be one he considers in the future.]

I do. All day, as it happens. Where're we headed?

That part's a surprise. So where do you want me to pick you up?

Oh, a surprise...I am rather fond of those. How about the elevators? That's probably safe enough without finding too much trouble.

Sounds like a great spot.

Dress light by the way. It'll just be us but the clothes may come off.

[He gave a teasing smile.]

Knowing your terrible clothing allergy, I'll be surprised if you last five minutes.

I'll see you then, Lux. I'm looking forward to it.

Just for that, I'm going to make sure I last ten.

[He grins back at him and winks.]

I'll meet you at the elevators tomorrow.

[WHOOP. He calls again that night.]

Quick question. My Dom wants to know if you're magical at all. I mean, I think you are but I'm thinking our definitions differ a lot.

[Luckily, he's just hanging around his newly empty room in the public housing, so there's privacy too.]

Very smooth, well done. I can do magic, yes. I'm a death cleric. Comes from the goddess of the dead back home. Are they an anti-magic sort?

I'm thinking he's the anti-non-special human sort. But I'll vouch for you. Because I've got plans for this date and he's a big part of making sure they go through.

Aaah, well I appreciate it. I promise to have you home safe and on time.

[His tone turns from joking to serious, but it's still very fond.]

You know you don't have to do anything fancy, right? I just like spending time with you.

It's nothing that fancy. Promise. You'll see what I mean tomorrow.

[Buuuut before he hangs up...]

Does this mean you'll walk me to the door and kiss me goodnight?

...alright.

[He laughs. He set himself up for that.]

Well, only if you're good, of course. Now, goodnight.

[He grins.]

Night, handsome.

[And you can bet he'll be there tomorrow on time. And in an outfit (that has yet to be determined by the other thread) which resembles this.]

[Chris arrives roughly on time, wearing the nicer outfit he’d been able to get from plumage. A small smile was his usual greeting, but seeing Lux waiting there for him brought out something brighter. Something surprisingly easy.

He closed the distance between them and leaned up for a kiss. First thing’s first, of course.

When he pulled back, his grin had turned into a teasing smirk.]

Look at you: actually wearing more'n your skin. I’m in awe.

[Dipping down, he snags a kiss from him and grins as he reaches to wrap his arm around his waist so they can start walk.]

Well, I can always fix that later. But I can make it to the beach first.

[That's the first hint. They're going to the beach.]

[Even once they were walking, Chris leaned into him a bit, his own arm coming around behind Lux's back to grasp at the fabric there. That silly smile was on his face, but he paid it no mind. Maybe it was just his 'Lux smile.'
Though, the mention of the beach has him tightening his hold on the fabric and he looks up at Lux like the sun has just risen because of him.]

The beach? Really?

[He gave a small huff of a laugh.]

I got in trouble cause I kept tryna sneak up here just to go to the beach. Did you ask someone or did you just guess?

[It had to have been a guess, Chris hadn't told anyone but Jon. Unless he'd asked Jon.]

[Lux blinks in surprise which really shows off the answer pretty quickly. Soon he bursts out laughing though.]

A really damn good guess honestly. But I'm letting you know now that I'm going to remember the beach thing from now on.

[Because that could be fun for future dates. Which apparently he was already thinking about. Weird.]

I take it you love the beach?

[That was almost more charming, really. The accidental nature of it. He would've been happy going almost anywhere, the fact it happened to be his favorite spot in the city was just...nice. Like that same level of comfortable Lux already inspired.]

Then more points to you, lovely.

I don't know about love, but I guess that's the closest thing to it. My home city is a port town on an inland sea. There's so much here that's nothing like home, that's sort of the only place that feels 'normal.'

Do you have a place like that here?
