Ching Tai - Thursday evening

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Her fingers interlocked with Janet's, Elizabeth asked for a table once they got to the restaurant.

"This is slightly weird," she confessed to Janet.



[[ooc: Ching Tai is open, but thread between Janet and Elizabeth is locked to them :)]]

Janet nodded. "It is for me too," she said, smiling a little as she took her seat.

Elizabeth slipped into the seat opposite, and picked up her menu. "I don't know if they serve them, but no milkshakes tonight," she said. "At least, not until later."

Janet tried to glare at Liz and failed. "You're horrible, you know that?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth giggled. "I know that you love me anyway," she said.

[janet_fraiser]

She stuck her tongue out at Liz. "Damn, you found me out," she said, opening her menu.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth laughed. "Honey, that's not hard to find out," she drawled. "Want to split a bottle of wine?"

[janet_fraiser]

"It's kind of sad how obvious I am about it," said Janet, not sounding sad at all. She reached for the wine list. "Definitely. Red or white?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Personally, I think obvious is good," Elizabeth grinned. "White?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Well, me too, but don't tell anyone," said Janet. "White is good. Something dry. Maybe a pinot grigio?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Your secret's safe with me," Elizabeth assured her, smiling. She nodded. "That sounds good."

[janet_fraiser]

"Promise?" asked Janet, giggling. "Great. What are you planning on having?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Promise," Elizabeth assured her, grinning. She glanced down at the menu. "Chicken lo mein, I think. How about you?"

[janet_fraiser]

"I think I'm going to try the crab fried rice," said Janet. "Or maybe scallops in lobster sauce. Did you just want to share what we get?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," she said.

[janet_fraiser]

"So how has your day been?" asked Janet, after they'd placed their order.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Pretty boring. Leadership workshop this morning, quick lunch, read a bit," said Elizabeth. She grinned shyly. "Fretted for far too long about what I was going to wear and slipped something for you under the pillow."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet raised one eyebrow. "Did you now?" she asked curiously. "I can't wait to see it."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm, I can't wait to... never mind," Elizabeth trailed off, grinning. "So, how was your day then?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Tease," said Janet, grinning along with Liz. "Busy, with Wilderness Survival in the morning and Archery in the afternoon. Which I have yet to post in, as omg, day off work! I barely managed to make it back in time to get ready."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"You look amazing though," Elizabeth said softly.

[janet_fraiser]

She glanced down at her simple beige tank top and black skirt. "Thank you." She smiled up at Liz, then leaned back as their server poured their drinks. "So do you, you know."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Elizabeth replied, smoothing down the skirt of her blue dress. She waited until the server had finished with the drinks, smiling and nodding as he melted away, before leaning across the table and whispering to Janet "It's all I'm wearing."

She leant back again in her seat, smiling serenely.

[janet_fraiser]

"Oh." Janet's eyes were wide. She shifted in her chair. "Um. This is absolutely revenge for the milkshake thing, isn't it?"

She took a very large drink from her wine.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth grinned. "I'm afraid so, yes." She sipped delicately at her own drink.

[janet_fraiser]

"Remind me to order milkshakes more often," muttered Janet.
