"Thanks" *reaches out to take the remote back from the wolf* "Er, sorry about that." -- Gemma
-------------------------------------------
*looks at him for a few more seconds and then looks down at the bottle in her paw. She attempts to twist off the cap but is having trouble with it* -- Moll
------------------------------------------
*she looks back at Silas when he speaks, smiles, and gives him her paw. A thrill runs through her at the physical contact* -- Tamar

"It's no problem. I needed to wake up anyhow. Due for a thread at Autumn mists today." *He explains as he hands over the remote* -Grey
"Need help?" *He asks the weaselmaid* -Sergei
--------------------------------
*Smiles in return, then remembers to start towards the door at the far end of the hallway, feeling the now oft-occouring feeling of happiness the like of which he was at a loss to describe fully.* -Silas

*takes the remote and sits back, begins once again to flip through channels, this time a little slower so she can actually pick something to watch.* -- Gemma
------------------------------------
*sighs, laughing at herself a bit* "yes, please" *passes the bottle back to Sergei* -- Moll
--------------------------------------
*walks along beside him feeling total contentment, unconsciously inches a little closer, nods toward the door as they reach it* "this the place?" -- Tamar

*Walks away towards the 'Link Tunnel'* -Grey
*Starts talking again* -Shade -Ghost
*Takes the bottle again, this time making sure not to drop it. He then takes out something from his pocket, sets it on the cap of the bottle, then does a little 'fancy' trick with it,throwing it up a few feet and ending in him banging the cap against the counter next to the fridge. He catches the bottle cap and opener in one paw as they fly away, handing Moll back her opened root beer.* "Er, sorry... Just had t' do that..." *He explains rather vaguely* -Sergei
-----------------------------------
"Well, um, not exactly, but close..." *Opens the door with his free paw, a final band of blue numbers bordering the doorway before leading out to a busy Chicago street. Unusually, the sun was out in the partly-cloudy sky, and human pedestrians strode on without a second glance at the two squirrels, who measured up to the human height. Somewhere, drums could be heard echoing off of the many apartment buildings in sight.*
"Er, welcome to Chicago." -Silas

*takes the opened bottle back with both paws while still looking wide eyed up at Sergei, in other words suitably impressed by his trick* -- Moll
--------------------------------
((ah i love chicago. there's a little presbyterian church on Mich. Ave with a little courtyard and fountain right in the middle of the city. That's where my Dad proposed to my mom. They met at Moody Bible Institute. Several times I've walked from Moody to Navy Pier or to Ed's and the Planet Hollywood and the Rock'n'Roll McDonalds. but none of those places have pizza that i know of. LOL i don't know there might be a good pizza place on Navy Pier and i'm not even sure if Ed's is still there. that was a great place.))
*looks around amazed and a little overwhelmed by the hugeness of it all. then looks back at Silas and smiles, squeezing his paw in thanks for bringing her here* -- Tamar

"Um, I used to be a sorta... novice bartender before I got the job to roleplay. Took it as a summer job." *Tries to clear it up a little* -Sergei
--------------------------------------
((I go to Chicago regularly. Been to R&R McDonald's, Obviously Navy Pier, and the planet Hollywood, I think, is now a Gino's east pizza place. Also, Squirrelboy knows of a variety of places...))
*His smile widens a little at this.* "Alright. Now just down this street, and we're there." *He states after a few moments. He looks towards his right, sees the resteraunt, and starts to walk next to Tamar towards it.* -Silas

*nods in understanding* "well thanks" *lifts the bottle to him as if in a toast and then takes a sip wrinkling her snout as the carbonation tickles her nose* -- Moll
----------------------------------
*can't stop looking around at everything and nearly trips over an irregularity in the sidewalk, leans heavily on Silas to steady herself and looks up at him smiling sheepishly. Then she looks at the restaurant in front of which they have stopped. It looks like a nice place and there are delicious smells coming from inside* -- Tamar

*Though the restaurant looks small on the outside, under several apartments above and around it, the restaurant sticks out with an elaborate sign hanging over head that reads C.P.O.G and a glass waiting room just outside the entryway into the establishment itself. The inner building was made almost exclusively of wood, save for coat racks, seat cushions, and other miscellaneous items, and a good number of people were already inside. A small bar was pressed up against the right wall (Looking inside), as tables and booths were set aside to the right and furthur back into the slightly more shadowy area of the restaurant.*
*Has realized that he probably was grinning for well over a minute or so now, and stops to the entrance to the glass waiting room, opening the door.* -Silas
*A waiter looks up and sees them arrive, and moves over in no rush to the inner door from the waiting room into the resteraunt itself.* -?X20 (<Anonymous person #20)
((Lol that was long...))

((standing ovation for anonymous person #20 for no particular reason))
*she is glad to step into the warmth of the restaurant having just realized that she had been cold out in the winter air of the windy city. she whispers to Silas* "This is nice" *she didn't know what she was expecting but it wasn't anything quite like this* -- Tamar

"Yeah, CPOG's away from all of the human tourists. It's a neat little meeting-place for the locals, I guess." *He shrugs minutely at the assumption, and opens the second door, made of solid wood, leading to ?X20, a shorter, black-haired human. The squirrel steps down carefully from the doorway, as there is about a four-inch drop from the doorway, marked heavily with flashy yellow tape. He makes sure that Tamar stops to notice this as well* -Silas
"Hey, welcome." *The waiter greets them with a sort of cheery simplicity. He recognizes Silas (As he is almost considered to be a 'regular' at lunchtime during the fall), but eyes Tamar with a curious glance. He had never seen her here before.* -?X20

*carefully steps down, following Silas's lead. smiles at the waiter, pushes her glasses up a little on her nose, then continues looking around interested in her new surroundings. still hanging on to Silas's paw, and not likely to let go anytime soon, she lets him take the lead. she's still feeling a little lost and out of place although very happy to be there with him* -- Tamar

"Table for two, please." *He said, even though he thought that that was pretty obvious.* -Silas
*Smiles a little, nodding.* "Right this way." *Says after marking off a little box on a board on a nearby podium. He gets out two menus and leads the squirrels over to one of the smaller tables with just two chairs, next to a four-seat booth along the left-paw wall.* -?X20
*Notices with some disappointment that the two seats oppose each other, meaning that he would have to let go of Tamar's paw. Nevertheless, he moves towards it, choosing the seat closer to the booth, where a family of four was sitting, halfway through some sort of appetizer.* -Silas
*Nearly all of the patrons were human in the surrounding area, excluding a black fox at the bar, sipping one of the many brands of beer, not paying any attention whatsoever to their arrival. However, the sight of bushy tails has drawn some human eyes with their appearance.*

*also laments having to let go of Silas's paw but is at least glad that she can still look into his eyes, one of her other favorite pastimes. still looking around she notices the family at the table across from their's a young human boy probably not much more than a dibbun (she still has a hard time judging the age of humans) stares boldly at the two squirrels. That is until his older sister blows the wrapper off her straw at him and it hits him in the side of his head. He yells at his sister and the squirrelmaid laughs at their antics* -- Tamar

*Grins as well, seeing what happened in the corner of his vision. He then waits for Tamar to be seated before he does so himself. He is clearly looking forward to some time to talk with Tamar out of character, not having the chance to do so for three or four weeks.* -Silas
------------------------------------------
*Opens his coke bottle in a more subdued fashion, and takes a gulp from it* -Sergei
"Well, uh, thanks." *Gets up to leave* -Ghost
"Anytime." -Shade

*she sits and tries to get her tail situated comfortably, looks up at the waiter and says* "thank you." -- Tamar
--------------------------------
*between sips of root beer she tries to get the conversation going* "I'm really enjoying doing a contemporary scene. It's a nice change from the other stuff around here." *she leaves off that she's enjoying doing the scene with him specifically* -- Moll
*glances curiously once more at the foxes and goes back to trying to pick a program to watch* -- Gemma
