Luke's Diner; Tuesday [08/27].

[chef_chocobro]

Even though he and Liliana had departed from their little end-of-the-semester celebration in Argentina, the country still lingered with him, as it likely always would, and that was reflected easily in his specials, which he'd practically had ready to whip up as soon as he swept in that day, giving him just that little bit of extra time once everything was set up to just sort of linger behind the counter with his thoughts.

And a can of Ebony. Of course.

He was also staunchly ignoring any questions that Greg might have had about it, too.

Now that she was freed from the tyranny of a Tuesday morning class, Liliana's swanning entrance was later than it had been over the past seven weeks, much closer to lunch proper than any kind of brunch.

And seeing the specials board - combined with yesterday's edible treats - had her laughing softly as she made her way over to the counter and the paramour behind it. "You know, my darling," she teased, casually snagging the can of Ebony and taking a sip, "you could just say you'd rather still be in Argentina. It's break week, we could always return."

[chef_chocobro]

And the can was easily snagged, though Ignis' hand remained poised where it had shifted to where it could be reached easily upon Liliana's entrance, ready to receive it back, post haste and with a kiss that was allowed far more purchase to linger.

"Mmm." A soft, pleased hum and a brief lick of his lips, and his response: "You'd be rather hard pressed to find a time when I wouldn't prefer to be in Argentina with you, mi corazón, but we wouldn't want to fill our cups with too much of a good thing. Particularly not when there are so many other sips to be sampled."

[deathsmajesty]

She easily handed the Ebony back, pleased with her single sip, and smiled through the resultant kiss, particularly at that lick afterwards. "I do not recognize the concept of 'too much of a good thing," she informed him merrily. "I will, however, grant you that we have plenty of other samples to enjoy." She gave him a playful look, running her nails over the inside of his wrist. "And because I adore you, I won't even draw a connection between our return home and the emptying of the last can of Ebony."

[chef_chocobro]

"How very magnanimous of you," Ignis drawled, the dryness of it just a touch spoiled by the faint grin on his face, "as always, 'Iana. So. Tell me." He leaned in for another kiss. "What are we hungry to try next?"

[deathsmajesty]

"Well, I'm happy to tell you, but I don't know if out loud in the middle of the diner with your...coworkers...is the most appropriate place," she teased. And look at her, not calling them underlings. Even if that was how she thought of them. "Not that I've ever given much thought to propriety, mind."

She leaned forward, giving him a smile. "What do you want to make for me?"

[chef_chocobro]

"Mmm." This hum was a thoughtful one...mostly. "Well, nothing on the menu, that's for certain..."

That grin took a turn toward a smirk.

"Although I believe we did get in a rather nice shipment of strawberries and rhubarb in, if I'm not mistaken..."

Blame it on the Ebony. It was practically just Sassy Juice.

[deathsmajesty]

"Oh, is that a promise?" Liliana purred. "Because I would love some."

[chef_chocobro]

"Is that so?" Ignis asked, leaning forward to kiss her again, almost languidly, with a hand lifted to brushing his fingers against her cheek, brushing hair back behind her shoulder and then lingering there. "Unfortunately, I doubt you've enough time to spare to sit around waiting for a whole pie, but..." His hand drifted forward along her jawline, "I suppose I could still whip up something quickly," and his finger curled under her chin. "Perhaps a sort of crumble," he gently lifted her chin that slight bit closer to his face, "or a parfait," lips almost close enough to kiss, but they continued musing instead, "maybe a compote, for a cheese cake or some bruchetta..."

[deathsmajesty]

Liliana was tempted to let him keep going but as amusing as that would be, she knew what she wanted and she hadn't been kidding when she said she'd enjoy a nice bit of strawberry rhubarb.

So after he said 'bruschetta,' she surged forwards, catching his mouth with hers, hands catching his collar and holding him to her as she poured every ounce of sensuality that she had developed over the last two centuries to seduce him even with a full counter between them.

[chef_chocobro]

And that certainly was an awful lot of sensuality to pour into just one kiss, and it certainly was effective. Ignis grinned, pleased and amused, at that initial surge, but he was all too quickly swept up in the seductive swell of it.

"So," he murmured, once he pulled away just enough for breath and words, "you'll also be taking it to go?"

[deathsmajesty]

"You know," she said with a smirk that almost hid how much that kiss had affected her own breathing, "I don't think I need the dessert at all." A nail slid down his throat. "Just you."

And absolutely to go.
