"Ooh, would that impress you? Then definitely the latter."

Yvette fails to conceal a laugh, then says, "I think it would take a bit more than buying lettuce to impress me, I'm afraid."

"Oh, well. I can do it anyway. For the ducks, you see."

"I'm sure the ducks will thank you for your magnanimous efforts that surely have no ulterior motives whatsoever."

"My motives are overt! I wish to win your heart with my charm and wit, and I shall start that with lettuce!"

...

She cracks up.

"Okay," she giggles.

"I shall return momentarily, light of my life," he says, and (after a quick glance around) quite literally disappears.

"Show off," she informs the empty air, without heat. Then she sits down and tries not to giggle some more. She fails.

After a few minutes, here he is, his hands behind his back. "I come bearing gifts! I can only hope this metaphor will bring a smile to your lips, for no flower can match your beauty." He bows and offers her a bouquet of... lettuce.

Yep, that's a smile on her lips, complete with a little giggle.

"Thank you, sir," she says, trying to be austere and imperious and getting horribly sabotaged by her smile. She accepts the bouquet.

And then the other hand comes out from behind his back and that one contains an actual bouquet of flowers. "Oh, my, where did that come from. Such an unexpected surprise!"

"You, that," she says, and then she takes the flowers. There's more of that pretty smile of hers. "This is ridiculous. You're ridiculous."

Her smile is so so pretty. "I hope that's a good ridiculous." He takes the lettuce back and offers her one arm. "Shall we go feed the ducks, my dear?"

"Yes, all right." She takes the offered arm and gives him, then the flowers, an amused look. Or perhaps it's 'delighted,' it might instead be delighted.

So they can walk over to the pond! It's not a nice, sunny day out, so not many people are out and about, and they're alone when they reach it.

It's very cute, actually.

"Heeeeere ducky, ducky. We have nutritionally appropriate food to illegally feed you with!" She carefully balances the flower bouquet in the hand hooked through his arm, then rips a chunk out of the lettuce bouquet to ply the ducks with.

The ducks... all swim away. "—oh, right. Animals hate vampires. I should probably stay away while you feed them."

"Ah. That's sort of a pity, but not a deal breaker. And it's less fun to feed ducks as a date if I must ditch the date to do it. Pardon me a moment." She then plucks the bouquet out of his hand and tosses the whole thing pond-wards.

"Right, ducks fed, off we go to let them eat!"

—he sporfles. "You are a delight," he says. "Yes, off we go, then, we have a whole park to explore as an excuse to spend more time together."

She beams at him. "We do! Though I've actually already been here before, so if you'd like the proper park exploration experience with me, we'll have to go somewhere else."

"Well, the exploration needn't be with the purpose of getting to know the place, but if there is somewhere you'd like to know hereabouts that you've never been to... or somewhere someone with vampiric speeds could take you to..."

"That second one's tempting, but I have no place in mind to visit. I'm open to suggestions from the someone with vampiric speeds, you'd know what places are easy to reach better than I would."

"Then I might need to carry you."

"Oh. Yes, of course that's how it would work, what else was I expecting." She hums and gives him a considering look. "And carrying me around won't make it harder for you to resist eating me, and won't potentially injure me on your perfect marble arms?"

"I can make it very comfortable. I won't go as fast as I can, that would damage you; you will otherwise be perfectly safe from me or the environment."
