Hey! Did you wanna do dinner tonight? I've been craving a milkshake all day, so I was thinking I'd get fries and maybe a burger to go with it. I wouldn't mind you tagging along on this adventure.
It wasn't what I was planning, but if she already knows Dick and Bruce, not to mention is dating Ezio who already knows...[pointed look] it's only a matter of time before she figures it out.
Paradisa alone is trippy, but then me being three years here and having almost an entirely different life... I'm glad you haven't run away screaming. You're making a really, really big effort with the people I know. I just want you to know that I notice that.
I'm not going to lie, when I stop to think about it, it can be overwhelming. There's been a few times I've definitely been tempted to a lot of yelling. [Kisses her on the cheek.]
At the same time, the changes you've gone through have made me want to try harder at things. You've matured a lot.
[She looks embarrassed. Lana always seems so cool and mature, and now she knows Steph's deep dark secret... and probably thinks her boyfriend is a geek. SIGH.]
I don't know if Alvin is considered a "pretty face". [Speaking of Alvin...slips his glasses out of his pocket and puts them on. Then he ruffles up his hair, ruining his previous style.]
She's interested in playing too, you know. [Commenting on the embarrassed look.]
I'm getting a caramel milkshake, bacon burger, and ummm... seasoned fries. Yeah. I've had everything that sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen on this menu.
[ANOTHER REASON WHY DANCING AIN'T HAPPENING TONIGHT: she's not going to want to move.]

She's quiet for awhile, drawing small circles with her fingers on his leg.]
I'm sorry you're getting involved in all this weirdness. You've been a real trooper.
no subject
It's been weird, really weird, but worth it.

I said I was buying on this date, didn't I?

... BUT HER STOMACH IS. It growls loudly, and for a good five seconds, at that.]

Yes, please. I'm so hungry. Lucrezia talk distracted me for a while.

You need everything intact if you're taking me out dancing this weekend.
no subject
Do you have to work early on Saturday? [Reminded of his potential plans for the weekend.]
Oh yeah, Lana might game with us if we can move our sessions to Sunday.
no subject
No I don--what? Seriously? What did you do to her? You went all out nerd, didn't you?
no subject
I think you've all secretly looking for the opportunity to let your inner geek out.
no subject
Or we're all suckers for a pretty face.
[Smiles at him and sits in a booth.]

I think he is. Must be why I'm dating him.
[She just laughs, shaking her head.] I can't believe it.
[She's still laughing as she looks at the menu.]

[She lightly kicks his foot.]
What are you getting?
no subject
[Shakes his head after the kick, looking more amused than annoyed.]
I'm not sure yet. What would you recommend?

I might get a frozen lemonade, and some seasoned fries loaded with cheese.
