There's a ladylove or beau in your life you are aiming to please; You seek to prove your love, obtain their affections, or have them swooning off their feet by the end of the night. Or perhaps your intentions are less than pure…Either way, you know this, of course, because you've chosen to bring them here. The Grey Line is an elegant restaurant whose very atmosphere is a recipe for romance, and tonight, everything your special someone needs to have an evening solely dedicated to passionate desire between the two of you will be provided for, to enjoy at your leisure.

Tonight is going to be perfect. Tonight is special.

Let the siren's song of love overwhelm you as you enter; open the doors, and walk inside.

The staff will greet you as an old friend, and take your coats, their friendly smiles a gentle contrast to the elegant decor around them. There's a feeling of euphoria which flows gently through the air, basking all those who attend.

And why shouldn't there be? The very design of the Grey Line is a masterful one, the modernity and sleekness lending to its natural beauty, played up by the fact that the structure of the restaurant itself is set into a shallow bay, with wall to wall glass windows in the main dining room which allow for the majesty of the ocean to be seen with the coming of the tides. By night, underwater lighting installed in the rocks outside attract a strange array of monstrous sea creatures.

You'll be lead back into the grand ballroom and placed at a table of your choice, a live company of instrumentals set back on a higher tier in front which overlooks the dining area.

The colors from the City bleed from the sea with the tide sweeping up the sides of the glass, bleaching it a deep aqua color.

Quiet awe overwhelms you as the soft illumination descends and caresses the faces everyone inside, giving them a soft, gentle look that adds to the undercurrent of tranquil calm.

Now, you're ready. Seated, you can observe who else is here with you, or bask in the ambience of your surroundings. Baskets of wine and chocolates are set at each table, along with a centerpiece of roses.

"Anything that you desire on the menu, sir, madam? Please, order anything you like. Compliments of your host."

Comments

[ergomaniac]

Oh. So you were not saying to ask about the meeting - about the drink, rather... [A pause.] But forgive me - "parlor tricks"?

[thelightbringer]

What, you don't show off your talents when you want to flirt?

[...No. No, Edgeworth probably doesn't, actually.]

[ergomaniac]

[Taken aback - ]

When I want to - what?

[thelightbringer]

...Look at Sam. You've never wanted to express interest to him?

[ergomaniac]

I -

[He stops short.]

I'm quite certain I don't know what you're talking about!

[thelightbringer]

Of course you do.

[Don't be stupid.]

I saw the way you looked at us when you first met me.

[ergomaniac]

[A scowl.]

Yes. I looked at you in a way that said, "Why did you just teleport into my home." Is that what you mean?

[thelightbringer]

No. When I touched him, [a deliberate pause where Lucifer considers touching Edgeworth to show him] you looked as if you wanted to run me through with a steak knife.

[ergomaniac]

[His jaw tightens. Muttered:]

I would never perpetrate violence against anything for any reason save self-defense.

[thelightbringer]

Which is why I didn't get stabbed. But admit it, you don't like seeing me with him.

[He steps closer, smirking.]

[ergomaniac]

You - seemed very rude. And -

[His flush deepens.]

It - Yes!

[thelightbringer]

Why does it bother you?

[Lucifer likes honesty, so he's only too happy to encourage it.]

[ergomaniac]

Rudeness?

[thelightbringer]

No. Me, with Sam.

[ergomaniac]

[Edgeworth hesitates - and then sets his jaw and addresses the issue head-on.

...Or, well, from less of an angle.]

I don't know the precise nature of your relationship - but ultimately, it does not matter so much. It's clear that he holds a great deal of affection and respect for you. Here is the heart of the matter: I've known some of the people he's held affection and respect for, and I've known them to hurt him terribly. Almost irreparably.

[thelightbringer]

And if I could, I'd gather them up and draw and quarter them one by one. I'd enjoy it, too, so if that lumps me in with them in your book.... [shrug] We'll just say Sam has a type, and I'm a variation of it.

[ergomaniac]

[His lips tighten. His voice is short.]

And I don't like that "type." That "type" tends to end up trying to keep him on a leash as a slave.

[thelightbringer]

He's better off a leash.

[Sam's words almost exactly, but it's proven true so far.]

[ergomaniac]

Draw up an affidavit in which you swear to those words - in which you make them a binding oath - and I shall be more content.

[thelightbringer]

If you really wanted, I could make a binding deal right now. But we're here to have fun.

[ergomaniac]

[He lifts his chin.]

You have pen and paper?

[thelightbringer]

I have powers.

[ergomaniac]

I trust paper more.

[thelightbringer]

You shouldn't. I'm an angel, why do you think I follow papers?

[ergomaniac]

And I'm a lawyer, and I've no regard for "powers." If it makes you feel better, however, I'll not object to using both methods of cementing your word.
