[Is he in his wiseguy suit? Yeah, he sure is. He's also wearing a different jacket though and it takes a few seconds before he reaches inside the trick pocket of his suit and produces a bouquet of red-candy-decorated caramel apples to hand over instead of flowers.]

You don't own any regular jeans, do you?

[parodeity]

You don't want me to own any regular jeans, do you? [ ...

can't believe john got him a candy apple bouquet. how long did it take him to think of that one? the bouquet disappears into his sylladex so dave can lean down to kiss john briefly. ]

If you're tryin' to get into my good graces, it's working.

[windeity]

Of course not, I like your ass too much. [At least he's honest. He's happy with his bouquet, thanks, and he meets Dave for the kiss before looping his arm through Dave's.]

I am hoping to stay there, yes. We're going to go on an adventure. [He pauses for a moment.] Do you wanna drive if I navigate?

[parodeity]

I'll drive if you want? I got no preference. [ he's happy either way since john seems perfectly unimpaired. dave usually only insists if john seems tired or otherwise under the weather. ]

[windeity]

It might be even more of a surprise if you do? And I already told you I trust you driving Casey. [...] The car, not the lizard. God, do I have to rename my car?

[parodeity]

D'you wanna? I mean, we can just specify car casey. [ he holds a hand out for the keys ]

[windeity]

[...shrug.] Nah. I think we can both know that you won't be driving our lizard daughter anytime soon. [He hands Dave the keys though and leads him to the car, opening the driver's door for Dave anyway.]

We're not going too far.

[parodeity]

Children before marriage. D'you think society will shun us? [ dave takes the keys and after the car is unlocked slides into the drivers seat, reaching over to pop he passenger door on automatic. ]

[windeity]

Probably no more than society's going to shun me for kidnapping both of our daughters in the first place. [Passenger's seat is a go.] Head east toward Apprassage, I'll navigate you from there.

[parodeity]

[ dave casually follows directions. ] I think you maybe have a problem with kidnapping. As in, you seem to have done it a lot?

[windeity]

That is entirely possible since I also just kidnapped you. [Just saying.]

[parodeity]

It's not kidnapping if I come of my own free will?

[windeity]

This is true! Why do you trust me so much? I could be taking you somewhere terrible, like the snow.

[parodeity]

Because I'm ridiculously in love with you and you like sleeping in bed with me instead of on the couch?

[windeity]

That's absolutely true, but it's winter and I'm pretty sure your desire to leech my bodyheat is greater than wanting to ban me to the couch for potential snow shenanigans.

[parodeity]

So where are we off to? Planetarium? [ he doesn't expect an answer. ]

[windeity]

[There's a short pause because what the fuck, Dave. That's actually exactly where they're going.] What makes you say that?

[parodeity]

Same reason I guessed about christmas lights last year, babe. I know you?

[windeity]

[He's pouting just slightly, but:] You can't guess what we're doing though so I still have that.

[parodeity]

[ unfair?? ] Obviously you're proposing to me. [ he does not actually believe that he's just teasing. ]

[windeity]

Please. If I was proposing right now I would not be taking you to the planetarium. It would be fancier than that?

[parodeity]

Fancier than that how? [ a raised eyebrow. ]

[windeity]

You are not tricking me into telling you how I would propose to you. That's cheating?

[parodeity]

How so? If I'm the one who has to propose its only fair I know what you would've done?

[windeity]

How do you know you're gonna be the one who's going to propose? I might be planning on doing it very soon for all you know.
