Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It is so nice to meet you, Kayoko," Gwydion says. "I am Gwydion. Would you care for some wine?"

He picks up the bottle that sits on the table in an ice bucket, and gestures that he will fill her glass if she agrees.

"I must admit to a modicum of nervousness - I have never surprised a lady with a dinner like this before. I do hope it wasn't too forward of me. And if I may, I would like to note that your dress is beautiful. Just like yourself."

Gwydion pours the wine for both of them, and replacing the bottle, sits back in his chair.

"So, tell me about yourself, Kayoko. What do you like to do?"

(OOC - have to jump offline for half an hour or so. Back asap!)

"Magic?" Gwydion smiles. "Never know much about that sort of thing, myself. All I know is business, and the little about ballet that was drummed into my by my parents. What sort of potions do you make?"

Gwydion laughs.

"Taller? How lovely! Don't suppose you could make one that would stop my hair growing so dratted fast, could you? I seem to have haircuts every fortnight!"

He sips his wine, then continues.

"I run a couple of dance studios, and also a few associated dance clothing stores. One of the shops is about to branch out into more than just ballet wear - tap, classical, modern... It certainly keeps me busy! I so enjoy the spare time I do have, especially when I can spend it in good company."

He smiles at Kayoko, showing that his last comment was directed at her and did not include anybody else.

"Shall we order our meal? Whatever you would like." He blushes. "It may sound boastful, but money is no object."

Gwydion signals a waiter, and orders two pasta dishes.

"I have a terrible time deciding what to get, go I thought I would go with your judgement," he grins. "Though, waiter - for dessert, I think we should have the Creme de la Flambe. It's a sweet dish, creamy, with a delightful caramel sauce that they set alight," he tells Kayoko.

The waiter nods, and rushes off.

"Kayoko, I was wondering - I have a box reserved at the local theatre... after dinner, would you care to some see the latest show with me? If not, I can have the limo drop you wherever you wish to go."

Gwydion laughs.

"You know - I have no idea!"

He smiled and swatted her playfully on the head. "One just hit you on the head..."

He looked away and nodded shyly, trying to avoid looking at her. "maybe...."
