[ Things have been busy and it hasn't been long since she's moved over to DC7. It had made choosing a date location harder, but she'd have to get used to the area somehow.

Which leads to an evening of her rushing to get ready. She doesn't often have an excuse to get dressed up and it had required a special shopping trip to find a dress fitting for what they wanted. Cordelia only being right down the hall, getting ready herself, had made the experience surreal. The feeling is not entirely unwelcomed after finding herself left alone in her last home once Church vanished, and this night out is exactly what she needs.

It isn't until she's lightly make-upped and dressed in a short, black dress that she goes to seek out Cordelia. She calls out, ] You ready?

[keep_nothing]

[ The door to her bedroom with Aral is closed, but Tex will be able to hear Cordelia calling, ] Come in!

[failureisntachoice]

[ She sighs and carefully pushes the door open. ] That wasn't an answer.

[keep_nothing]

No, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

[ She's just finishing putting on her heeled shoe, standing and turning for Tex to see her whole outfit, smiling and watching her face the whole time. ]

[failureisntachoice]

[ Oh. Tex stops in her tracks barely a step in the door as her eyes rove over Cordelia. That's a damn nice look and she doesn't hide the smile that's growing on her face. ]

You look ready to me.

[keep_nothing]

Good enough? It feels overly dressed from what I'm used to back on Beta.

[failureisntachoice]

What did you used to wear to clubs on Beta Colony?

[keep_nothing]

Nothing, usually. Sometimes a sarong.

[failureisntachoice]

...You used to go to clubs naked? Why the hell would you want to?

[keep_nothing]

[ She blinks as if that question never occurred to her. ]

Because ... that's what you did?

[failureisntachoice]

[ She shakes her head. ]

I don't think I'd want to dance that close to a bunch of sweaty strangers naked.

[keep_nothing]

[ She shrugs lightly. ]

It's very common on Beta, but then so is walking around in nothing but a sarong around the hips.

[failureisntachoice]

Good to know before I end up there on vacation. Do you own a lot of sarongs here?

[keep_nothing]

Here? No, just the one we bought for the beach.

[failureisntachoice]

I know what to get you now. [ A small smile before she offers her arm. ] Ready?

[keep_nothing]

Ooh, I'll look forward to it.

Ready when you are.

[failureisntachoice]

Good. [ And on time. Though Tex has a feeling the tardiness the last two dates served a very real purpose.

This time Tex has opted to call them a cab to get them to the club. It's easier with the clothing they're wearing than trying to navigate on a motorcycle. She keeps her hands to herself for the ride though when they reach their destination, she's eagerly reaching for Cordelia's hand to lead her towards the entrance. ]

[keep_nothing]

[ Cordelia is reigning herself in inside the taxi and only laying the one hand on Tex's bare knee, okay. She gladly takes her hand right back as they enter the club though, lacing their fingers together. ]

[failureisntachoice]

[ Normally she'd protest the amount of hand-holding they end up doing on these damn things, but with Cordelia she doesn't mind.

She leans in towards Cordelia to make sure the woman can hear her over the sound of music, ] You want drinks first? I'll get the first round.

[keep_nothing]

[ She turns to meet her lean, stealing a kiss. ]

Yes, please.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She should have been expecting that, but there's still a small blink of surprise at the kiss. Being this obvious about a relationship is new to her.

It doesn't stop her from leading Cordelia to the bar to open a tab and place her order for a tequila shot. ] Good choice of club?

[keep_nothing]

I think so. It's seems pretty mild to me, but then I'm a bit biased.

[failureisntachoice]

If you want to have a topless dance party, we could have stayed at the house.

[keep_nothing]

[ She laughs, slipping an arm around Tex's waist. ]

That can come later. And we'll have to eventually convince Aral to join in that little party too.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She rests a hand over Cordelia's and snorts lightly. ]

Aral? Is he even interested?
