[ As promised, about a half hour later, Renee waits outside of Lil's apartment. Wearing her motorcycle helmet and holding a gift bag with one hand, she knocks on the door. ]
[ lil's voice comes muffled from inside. a moment later, there's the sound of footsteps, and the door swings open. lil's smile is waiting when she sees renee. she gives a little waggle of her fingers hello, multitasking as she balances on one foot at a time to pull on her heels. ]
Hey, hon. [ noting the helmet, she asks: ] Y'ride over here?
[ Inside is a set of chocolate liqueurs. Renee figures that it's the perfect combination. Alcohol and chocolate, can't get much better than that, right? ]
[ lil had to admit, it was a sweet gesture -- literally and otherwise. she can't really remember the last time she'd been given a gift, and it's been a while since she'd had any reason to dress up and go out. maybe this is just what she needs right now. ]
Thank you, hon. [ it's sincere, when she says that, and full of affectionate warmth. setting the box aside, she leans to wrap her arms around renee in a fond hug, squeezing her gently and pressing a friendly kiss to her cheek before letting go. ] Y'wanna head out?
[ she links her arm with renee's, practically leading her back outside. the door gets shut and locked behind them, with lil leaning to adjust the strap of her heel one more time before she speaks again, a bit teasing. ]
[ it's sweet, she has to admit that. and fun. renee has a way of letting her enjoy herself that few other people do. she appreciates it, when her other relationships can get so heavy.
lil picks up the spare helmet, putting it on and adjusting it a bit as she waits for renee. joking mildly, she asks: ]
[ her height makes it easy to lean her head against renee's shoulder as she watches the scenery speed up and flash by, wind kicking up the skirt of her dress. her grip on renee's waist stays firm and steady, anchoring her. ]
[ Fortunately for her, the helmet conceals her expression from view. As Lil rests her head on her shoulder, Renee's eyes widen, and her body tenses briefly.
After a moment, her posture relaxes again, and she drives in silence. Soon, they arrive at the restaurant, and the motorcycle slowly comes to a stop. ]
[ she waits until they're at a stop before removing her helmet, sighing mildly as she lifts a hand to smooth her slightly tousled hair back into place. her hands then find her dress, easing the skirt back into some semblance of modesty and neatness before she dismounts the motorcycle, setting the helmet down on the seat.
her eyes find the restaurant, curious and pleased. ]
Y'know, it's been goddamn ages since anyone took me out t'eat.
I'm an old damn lady. [ her tone is joking, but she means it more than it might seem like she does. ] You're the only one that wants t'take me out these days.
