Back in his room, Ezra had taken a shower and got dressed into his suit. It was similar to the one he wore at the Dewitt’s wedding last year, but just a few subtle differences that it wasn’t quite the same look. Foxy Lady was still at the Puppy Place. He was nervous about leaving her their too long away from him. He wanted to check in on her, but they were pressed for time and Lera assured him she would be fine until after dinner.
He made his way towards the door of his room that exited into the adjourning corridor outside his room. What would Lera be wearing? Whatever it was, he knew that she’d look great in it, just like she did in her swimsuit. His left hand began to twitch and his face flushed just thinking about her wearing that.
oO Get a grip Ezra and calm down. Oo
Was his suit too formal? Would she like it?
He took a deep breath and exited from the room. Lera was waiting for him with a smile on her face as he stepped out of his room.
Michaels: ::doing a quick spin around :: What do you think? Do you like it?
He returned her smile, his eyes on the dress as she spun around. His breath was taken away.
Zerva: It’s lovely. You look amazing, stunning and beautiful, all at once. ::Gasping:: Like a fairy tale princess, only much prettier.
::nervous:: How’s about my suit?
Michaels: Response
Zerva: I was worried it would be too much or not enough. I wasn’t entirely sure what you were going to wear.
Michaels: Response
Zerva: ::smiles:: I’m glad. ::holding out his hand:: Shall we? We don’t want to miss our reservation.
Michaels: Response
Ezra’s heart raced and he did his best to keep his left hand from twitching, as his right hand held hers and they walked towards the nearest turbolift.
((Brief Timeskip, Indulgence of Chocolate-Coated Jama’haron, Deck 12, Verdant Garden Restaurant))
Just outside the restaurant, Ezra noticed just how plan looking the walls and lackluster the sign looked. It was a simple non digital sign above the door and display the name of the restaurant, Verdant Garden in both Federation Standard and Vulcan.
A young Vulcan woman wearing a muted grey colored dress, stepped out from behind her podium and greeted them in the traditional Vulcan greeting.
T’Lya: Live Long and Prosper.
Ezra hesitated. From his time on Vulcan as a child, Ezra couldn’t quite remember if non Vulcans were permitted to return the gesture or something else appropriate to their people’s greetings. His first thought was, yes it was okay. He followed Lera’s lead, just to be sure.
Michaels: Response
Zerva: ::does his best Vulcan salute:: Live Long and Prosper.
T’Lya: I am T’Lya, your hostess. Your name?
Zerva: Ezra Zevra. Party of two.
Michaels: Response
T’Lya: Right this way.
She offered a gesture to follow her to a table. The place looked rather plan and unremarkable compared the vegetarian restaurant Mellow Mushroom on DS33. That place was vibrant and filled with all sorts of bright colors. This looked more like a restaurant you would find on Vulcan.
