An Entirely Decent (If Ill-informed) Proposal (set after Asgard and Valentine's Day)

[vincent_amora]

Vincent had deliberated for some time after receiving Erin's Valentine's Day present. He was reasonably flattered, but more than that, he was annoyed with himself and confused. The confusion was since he was still on the rebound from Roxanne, and wasn't quite sure he was ready for another relationship. On the other hand, there was no need for it to be particularly serious, right? He could just go on a normal date with this girl who was apparently interested in him, right?

The fact that he hadn't noticed her attraction to him was the cause for the annoyance. Distraught over Roxanne or not, he should be more perceptive than that. For shame.

So, when next he finds her by herself at the Mansion, he's worked up the resolve to ask her out.

"Whatever I was really into. Mostly horse back riding.... then there was just this three year period where she had me go to a finishing school in the summer instead.... Thank goodness the woman running the place was essentially someone's sweet old aunt," her mouth curves up in amusement.

"First world problems, right?"

"I would imagine so. My father's idea of 'vacation' was intensive combat training, as a break from library study periods." Vincent shrugs. "I didn't really grow up around the other children much.

I've never been on a horse. Never really came up."

Erin just gives him a look then smirks.

"I know this date is mostly for .... fun but, I'm sort of tempted to invite you to come with me the next time I go horse back riding. I have a horse you could ride that I think you'd like. Lex is a total sweet heart."

He thinks it over for a moment, then nods. "I think I could manage that." He smiles.

"And for the record, I am having fun so far." The smile turns to a full grin.

"Awesome. You'll love it. I know they're not fast like cars or other mechanical technology but... they're amazing,," Erin is grinning really widely. She loves her horses so much.

"I'm glad. You need to relax more," Erin says in that very self-assured manner.

"I know... I've just been busy lately. Recent events have not been very conducive to relaxing." He shrugs uneasily, and is grateful for the interruption when their appetizers arrive.

"That I can understand." She recalls the battle in New York then Asgard.

She also knows she is a very busy person herself. The food is well appreciated as a distraction though. She's rather hungry.

Vincent pokes at his food, eating absentmindedly for a little bit. "Would you like to go anywhere after dinner? Tokyo? Lima? Sydney?"
