"...Eh?"

*His golden eyes flashed as they met Carlyn's, his expression suddenly becoming cold. His grip grew tighter on her shoulder, and a sly grin of his own appeared on his face.*

"Tell me, Carlyn, are you ticklish?"
David
*"Are you about to make a scene?"* She asked back with mild stupor, mild excitement to her tone. *"I haven't been slackin' you know. I'm fine to make a scene. It all depends on how good that food is, and if you wanna come back here again."*
Thomas
*Livio looked Carlyn dead in the eye as his hand shifted off her shoulder, slowly, slowly, to her side. His fingertips touched her side, threatening to tickle her.*

*Then he looked back to his steak and pulled her closer instead.*

"Nah, I wouldn't do that. Here, have another bite."

*He offered her another bite of steak.*
David
Victory. Carlyn took her prize in stride, leaning forward and picking her bite off his fork with prudence. Livio had once again lost to a puppy. What a fool.

Carlyn had damn near polished her plate at this point and finally asked, *"Where do you plan to stay? We can rent you an inn somewhere or my parents have a guest room at the house. I wouldn't mind the company."*
Thomas
*Livio pulled her even closer, enough so that their sides touched. Of course, he wasn't squeezing her in a death grip; just a warm embrace that she could get out of if she wanted. He didn't really care that his steak was gone; he still had a bit of lobster left.*

"Hm, if I could stay at your place, that'd be nice. Meeting your parents would be nice too."
David
It was something she chose to accept, and she even leaned into it. It had never actually happened that she felt this kind of attention or affection before. She had always had friends but this was different. It was nice. 

A nod was given and she called the waiter over, and a tab was placed on her parents name. They were free to leave from there. 

*"They're both kind of old farts. My dad was an adventurer and my mom... Was just kind of a housewife before they became merchants. My little sister might be more interesting then them."*
Thomas
"Ah, just copy paste huh? Well, I guess it'll be nice to meet her then. I'm just looking forward to more time with you though."

*Livio quickly finished the rest of his lobster, washing it down with a glass of water.*

"Well, where to next? Straight to your place, or is there something else you'd like to show me?"
David
*"We'll take rest at the store. I've got to feed La'vera early in the morning so we'll go and run that chore before you head home or... Wherever you're off to afterwards."*

Carlyn once more took lead, pushing in her chair behind her and offering her hand this time to Livio.
Thomas
"La'Vera's your sister? Younger I assume. Sounds good. Lead the way, Captain."

*Livio took Carlyn's hand, though once he was up on his feet he pulled her in close with a small little tug of his arm.£
David
*"Sister? No. My sister's name is-"* The dog was swiftly interrupted by the tug on her arm. She stepped up against his shoulder as they walked, not so much a hug as they didn't have huge amounts of time. She simply continued talking where she left off. 

*"Her name is Maryanne,"* She said, and then bombshelled with, *"La'vera is my Dragon."*
Thomas
"Oh, so she has a regular name then-"

*As they walked, Livio suddenly turned his head to the dog next to him.*

"You have a dragon?"
