Xeph indicated the apartment to Drew. "Well, toss your stuff in and let's go, if you're not too tired to head out. You can explore the Den all you like later. I'm starving too. There's a great sushi place down by the waterfront, and they have awesome tartare."
His mouth was watering just thinking about it. He couldn't stomach cooked meat, something, he suspected, he got from his mother. Most veggies were all right, and grains of course, but if it was meat it had to be raw. Very few restaurants did a steak justice, but he did know a few in town already who knew what he meant when he said rare.
As Shiye expressed his surprise at their date venue Xeph shrugged at his disbelief. "What, do I look like the kind of guy who wants to go to some boring seminar?"
Then, as Nikhila said, "I lost," Xeph simultaneously said, "She won."
Little confusing, that.
Xeph recovered with an innocent grin and an affected whistle of innocence. "Okay sure, she lost. I won!"
Not lost!
Sure he’d just gotten off the plane, and then he’d gotten lost in the airport disoriented any way and of course he’d misplaced the address and directions for how to get the Pack grounds out here and the cabbie had gotten pretty rude. But as far as Drew was concerned things were going perfectly.
His one and only bag, his grandfather’s old army duffle bag, slung over his shoulder he ambled along fighting the urge to run in and shout “Hi Honey I’m home!” The old man had been pretty adamant he at least try and make a good impression. It wasn’t Drew’s fault his idea of a good impression and the old man’s didn’t always match.
Hmmm pretty quiet around here, just one or two people floating around and they all seemed to have some where to be. He must have arrived during some kind of lull or something like that. He was just again debating a more boisterous entrance when a familiar voice reached his ears.
Who would have thought. Watching the other party of the conversation walk away Drew’s first thought was to shout ‘Hey gorgeous!’ but he knew she’d never even look up. So he went with the next best thing.
“Hey Nikhila!"

There was a bed and windows, good enough for him as for the rest he could figure it out later. He took Xeph’s direction literally and tossed his bag in. it wouldn’t take long to unpack when they got back.
Rejoining them he shrugged.
“Nope, I wouldn’t say that. I might have suspected mini golf over bowling. And she looks like the kind of girl who’d want to go to a boring seminar.”
All right, they got credit for being cute with the whole I lost, she won thing. Of course, he wasn’t going to admit that. Especially as it involved his long time crush, so Drew just rolled his eyes.
“We can debate scoring later. I’m hungry now.”

Xeph’s words caused her to do a double take and she eyed him suspiciously. Oh, well yes by some counts she had won. That was fair enough. Of course, his ego didn’t need any assistance, as evidenced by his total turn about.
“That is almost enough to make me want to ask for a rematch.”
Actually, it had been fun and she wouldn’t be opposed to playing again some time. After she got her ‘boring seminar’, she turned an affronted look on Drew. What was it with these men that they couldn’t appreciate a little bit of education. Heaven knew they were both far too smart for their own good.
Drew hurling his bag into the room made her wince, but he didn’t seem to mind.
“Then we should go eat.”
((OOC.. all three of them out with permission of course))
