RE: Once upon a modern tale - KokoPuffs - 06-06-2020
Yukiji couldn't help but to smirk from ear to ear, his words floating about her; finding them more amusing than anything else. Perhaps it would be more than best for him to have SOME reservations of traveling with someone he didn't know. They had just met that night, had gotten rather cozy together in a matter of minutes, and were now enjoying a nice meal to go along with it. Beyond that, he didn't know much about her, and her the same about him; yet there was something about him that pulled her towards him. Almost like a moth to a flame, even if it would end up burned in the end. "Perhaps you make some sense my dear, but you can't always just assume one cannot be a threat," he purred lightly under her breath, it's tone almost a growl; nonthreatening to him of course.
He'd given her no reason not to trust him, yet, that was; it could only be a matter of time before that could surely change in its own. Maybe it wouldn't, only time would tell unfortunately, and they both had quite a lot of time of their hands. "What you say is true as well, but I can't just run around with just ANY man you know. I DO have standards~ You my dear," she looked him up and down, a toothy grin upon her plush lips, "you, certainly do meet those standers if I must say myself. We can always get to know each other more in the meantime, I wouldn't be opposed to something like that. Unless you have better things to be doing?"
Yuki left it off as nothing more than a question, she didn't know what his life was like; it could be busier or calmer than her own. There was no way of knowing unless she asked, but she wasn't going to do that. Instead she'd take it in stride, figure him out in all due time. Perhaps THAT would be a bad idea in the end for her if she ended up falling for him.

"I mean I do not mind spending time with you however I do not know how busy I will be," he said with a soft smile. "Like for example with this new job I do not know how demanding the boss will be for the photoshoot compared to my life beforehand." He smirked and pushed his hair back and watched her. "Are you concerned with spending time with me though? I heard the soft sound you made. Are you sure I'm safe to be around alone so far from him?"
His eyes seemed to catch ablaze threatening but yet curious about what she would choose. Would she really be willing to go to another country with him and stay there so far from home? Flying away was harder nowadays with radar and all the human technology that might spot them. It wasn't easy to just fly away if she got scared. "I am glad I meet your standards though. It does warm my heart," he teased. "How about I let you decide for a few days if you want to come with me? And to get everything in order if you are. Then we can agree to meet somewhere of your choosing?"

Yukiji took in the words he had to say, her eyes seemed to look here and there in thought; never once catching his own gaze. "I suppose it all depends actually," he smiled gently, "if I felt I wasn't safe, I wouldn't be here right now with you, would I? There's nothing in this world that will make me put myself in harms way. Besides, you had be all to yourself earlier in my office, it is sound proof of course. If you wanted to do ANYTHING to harm me, I'm sure you would have taken the change then. Am I correct? Why wait to take me on a journey with you? That seems... quite droll actually."
The woman crossed one leg over the other now, hand arms gently laying upon the table before them; long nails making soft circles against the wood's grain. Her eyes finally caught his now, their crimson color boring into his own orange ones. "Besides, maybe I might want to sit in on some of your photo sessions. I'd love to see what professional photography is like~" she purred softly into her words, lips turning into a soft grin, "I suppose that seems fair enough, a few days would give me more than enough time to give you an answer, and get my things straightened for the trip. You'll have to give me your phone number, however, if you expect me to contact you again."
With that, she reached into the pocket of her jacket, pulling out a sleek phone from inside. Pale fingers stretched out to him, offering the device for him to grab, "here, how about I allow you to put it in yourself~"

Deimos took her cell phone from her and smiled pulling up her contact list and nodded to her. He didn't look to see how many or who was on her cellphone. That didn't really concern him, to be honest. He wasn't the jealous type. She was potentially also willing to go across the country with him so what would he have to even be jealous about? He pressed new contact and added in his phone number with the area code. He had to put in a few extra numbers so it would actually call him seeing as he didn't actually have a cellphone registered to America. He marked his name as Deimos with his relationship status as the model guy so she could know incase he texted her. From her phone he texted his mostly to show her it was the right number and so he'd know what her number was. He sometimes would actually ignore numbers he didn't know.
He bowed his head slightly. "There," he said a handing it back to her. "You can contact me at any time. I may not answer right away but I will answer once I realize I have a message. My sleep schedule is a bit of a mess I will admit." He chuckled a bit thinking of it. "I will say though try not to keep your answer from me for too long because I do have to leave sooner rather than later... Unfortunately, everyone is about rushing around nowadays instead of taking it slow." He put some cash on the table two hundred dollars in cash which would easily cover their meal plus a large tip. "Are you ready for me to walk you home then?"

The woman placed her elbows upon the table, chin gently resting in her small hands; red eyes watched him close on what he was doing. She gladly waited for him to finish putting himself in her phone, a soft smile upon her face during the entire process as well. It was rather cute to just watch really, though it wasn't as if she never had people do it before. Somehow it felt... oddly different than most other times. "Oh!" she was taken out of her mind at that moment, her hand taking the phone back from him own hands, "anytime huh? That sound wonderful really, a lady can only stay so entertained while working." She sighed softly, a wide smile on her thick lips.
What surprised her honestly, was the amount of money he laid down upon the table; making her crimson eyes grow wide for the moment. That truly was no necessary in the least, though rather quite generous for the worker of course. "Goodness," she gazed up from the table and to him once more, "here I just thought you were generous in the bedroom, turns out it is much more than that. You also need not worry about waiting for my answer, dear, you'll have it quite soon. Yes, however, I am quite ready for you to walk me home, darling~" Yuki slowly pushed herself up and out of the seat, only to politely push it back under the table as well.

Deimos smiled and led ber out of the establishment and into the outside air. He seemed very content and happy with the way the night had gone. "I like to be kind to the staff of restaurants since a lot of them work insane hours to meet ends meet and it is not like I am starving for cash."
He winked back at her and then held out his hand so she could wrap her arm through his or take his hand. It was dealers choice. "And I'm glad I'll have your answer soon enough. The suspense is maddening but it's also kind of fun if you understand what I mean by that."
He gave her a gentleman smile. "Should I worry your guard will jump me upon our return?"
RE: Once upon a modern tale - KokoPuffs - 09-29-2020
The woman got up from her own seat and followed the man outside, keeping herself close behind him. That made more than enough sense, not all had the means to be able to gain money like the two of them did; sometimes she herself forgot such a thing. Yet how could she? It was the reason she paid her workers quite well, so they wouldn't have to worry about living from pay check to pay check. "That makes a lot of sense, I suppose I had never quite thought of it that way," she gazed to his hand, only to gently place her own into it as she held it, "oh I certainly understand, however~ Suspense can really be the best part."
"Hmm? OH!" she shook her head, only to let out a soft giggle as his question, "oh don't worry about him really. He may seem like he would, but he's a sweet man once you get to know him darling."
RE: Once upon a modern tale - Andromeda - 09-30-2020
"Once I get to know him sure," Deimos said in a teasing tone. "But for now I am a man who just had relations with his boss and had her follow him without a second thought. I can understand his concerns if he has any on the matter." He smiled at her letting her know he wasn't mad. He just needed to know if he would need to dodge a blow is all.
He stopped infront of her joint and smiled. "After you my dear. Maybe you can let me meet some of your people."

"I suppose you are quite right about that, he does look out for me more than he really needs to be honestly," she shook her head slightly, though there was a gentle smile spread across her lips, "he probably does have his concerns for a reason, there is no doubt about that my dear. Besides, it isn't as if I've never allowed myself to follow a handsome man before~ Though, I must say, it's hard to find other dragons around these days. So, I can really say you have grabbed my attention with just being you~"
This man's presence was certainly nice and calming, she felt more than safe just walking hand in hand with him. Hell, she didn't even realize they'd made it back to the club till he'd spoken up; bringing her out of her little daze. "Why thank you sir~" she smiled up to him, only to cast a teasing wink his way, as she lead the two of them trough the elaborate door, "oh? You would like to meet some of my workers? I suppose I can surely allow that, they are use to all sorts of people coming in and out around here."
RE: Once upon a modern tale - Andromeda - 10-12-2020
He chuckled. "I'd hope I'd be privileged enough to meet them after the night we had," he replied pushing his hair back. He looked kind of tired but it was the alcohol and the full belly talking there. "I mean I will even voluntarily meet your personal body guard if you wanted me to."
His tone was teasing her as always. He was still slightly surprised she ran this place in all honesty. Most dragons he had had the privilege of seeing lived alone or away from other people. It was hard to understand one living so open especially for so long. How did she do it? Keep the humans off her at least? Did none of them notice she didn't age ever?
He sighed. He would ask later mostly cause he wanted to know the trade mark secrets. "I mean how scary can they be?"
