Once Upon a Dream [closed, Mika/Hunter, eve. mid week]
By: Hunter Date: January 16, 2013, 2:49 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The quiet dinner club in the Market had been re-built, as it
brought in both tourists and revenue, keeping the economy of the
island afloat. He'd sent a an invitation to Mika, old fashioned
in a charming sort of way. The vellum was heavy and seemed old,
the calligraphy neat and detailing a gentleman's wish to escort
her on a date. A time given, 6:00 in the evening, and a request
to be allowed to pick her up at her dorm accompany this. She is
advised that a dress code is in place at their destination.
A box accompanies the invitation, on the flatter side, and a bit
long, it's no difficult guess that this is jewelry of some sort.
When opened, ivory pearls are revealed, simple and antique. The
clasp is very ornate and shows their age clearly. The note
inside says, very simply, 'Please bring this along with you.'
The individual that delivers this message to Mika informs her
that he was instructed to await a return message either
accepting or denying.

Mika read the invitation as a smile played across her lips.
Holding the box delicately in her hand, her fingers trace over
the pearls. She quickly grabs her favorite stationary, and
writes her answer with a delicate hand, fine script, an answer
of acceptance to send back to him.
Once the answer has been given and the return message sent
along, she turns to her closet to find something appropriate for
the dress code. Most of her closet being black she goes back
and forth between an understated but elegant black dress, and
one of a deep plum color. Finally settling on a dress

/>she went about finishing up her preparation. A soft purple
smokey eye was the focal point of the make up with accents of
silver. Finally a light gloss on the lips. Her hair gathered
and curled, held off one shoulder with soft curls cascading down
the other. Taking a last glance, hoping that it would be looked
at with a smile, she looked at the clock and made sure she was
ready for when her date would arrive.

Hunter arrived, looking a bit like this

/>in the same cool greys and blacks. His cuff links are clearly
antique, perhaps even belonging to his father. The intricate
working matches the clasp upon the pearls. He's clean shaven and
smells faintly of that sandelwood and cedar scent she'd come to
associate with him. He knocks on the door firmly, and stands
with his hands behind his back, hair tamed for the evening. The
healthy tan of his face is only heightened by the dove grey
collar.
He's managing to not look overly nervous or anxious despite
certainly feeling that way. He carries a bouquet of flowers in
his hands consisting of creamy ivory oleander, Angelwing
jasmine, and noticeably three ivory rosebuds and one deep purple
rosebud that had an almost burgundy sheen upon it, yet still
managed to remain that royal shade. The ferns and baby's breath
are spare and tasteful, and the stems have been wrapped in a
white silk. He had one more bloom in their conveyance, but he
wasn't yet sure about giving that one.

Mika heard the knock at the door and her heart fluttered for a
moment. Doing one last glance over her appearance, she smooths
out her dress and takes a breath. A small clutch sits on her
bed next to the box that had accompanied the invitation.
Picking both up she headed to the door. Calming her nerves for
a second she opens the door to see Hunter on the other side.
She takes in his appearance, a bright smile spreading across her
face as she caught the whiff of sandalwood and cedar. Brushing a
loose curl back behind her ear her sparkling silver eyes finding
his. "Good evening Hunter. You look dashing."

He gave a courtly bow to her as she spoke, a crooked smile
flashing over his mouth briefly, his hand coming forth to
present the bouquet to her. "And you're breathtaking. Do you
have a cloak or coat you'd like my assistance with? And would
you like to wear those pearls?" He asked, the last question
coming forth somewhat shyly.

A smile crossed her lips as he bowed and gave her the bouquet,
blushing slightly at his complement. . Taking the flowers her
eyes lit up. Holding them close so that she could take in their
scent. The unique arrangement caught her eye. "These are
beautiful." At his questions she nodded, a long dark peacoat
hung next to the door. "I would love to wear the pearls
Hunter."

He stood straight, stepping forward. "Bring them with you. They
are meant to keep well until tomorrow, when they will have to be
placed in water, like any other bouquet. Tonight though, they
will remain in their state of lovely perfection. As will you in
memory." His hands, an artist's sensitive ones, took the
jeweler's box of pearls from her.
Stepping behind her, those fingers slid the hair from her nape,
brushing her skin lightly. The pearls settled cool and smooth,
encircling her neck. Hunter lightly kissed the top of her head,
before reaching past to grab the peacoat that hung. Offered so
to her, he waited for Mika to step into it, then settled it
fully about her. Waiting for the door to be shut, and her things
to be gathered, he offered his arm to escort her. "Shall we,
little angel?"

She let her nose linger in the bouquet a moment longer, almost
as if memorizing the unique arrangement of scents. She smiled
as he told her to bring them with her, and blushed lightly at
the complement. "I will do that then"
As his fingers brushed her skin her breath caught lightly. Her
fingers brushed over the pearls lightly, a smile settling on her
lips. She stepped into the coat and gathered her things, before
taking his arm. She squeezed his arm softly, slight nerves
coupled with excitement bubbling in her. "Of course, lets go."

Hunter led her to the car, opening her door for her, and handing
her into the seat. The vehicle was a well cared for black luxury
car, the interior spotless and carrying the scent of some spice
or another. It was also quietly purring as it ran, and the
inside was warm and comfortable. He waited until she was
settled, closing her door behind her. Moving to the driver's
side, he slid into the seat as if it had been made for him.
After waiting for her seatbelt to be fastened, and doing so with
his own, his hands settled themselves, first sliding the
stickshift into gear. Soft strings poured from the quiet
speakers, to be joined by a weeping piano, as well. "How was
your day today, little angel?" He asked, his green eyes moving
to her briefly before they settled back on the road ahead of
them. The huntsman's hands moved with an economy of motion and
experience, though who knew where he'd learned to drive a
stickshift.

When Mika saw the car her eyes widened ever so slightly. As he
held her door and helped her into the car, she couldn't help but
smile. She knew that he was chivalrous, but sometimes it still
took her by surprise. As he settled into the car as well she
quickly took in the surroundings, letting her mind wander
briefly though the strings that played, striking familiar tones.
Still holding the bouquet, she couldn't help but hum along with
a few of the notes as he got settled.
As he shifted the car into gear, she wondered briefly when and
how he had learned to drive. However she knew never to
underestimate what he knew. Her eyes shone with a light smile
at the question. "My day was fine. I will admit, I was
probably lost in my Violin for a few hours. I know I lose track
of time when I play." She admitted with a soft smile. Her day
had been made at his invitation.
