I'd Run Right Into Hell and Back

[gorgeous_sin]

WHO: Flynn Scifo, Lust
WHAT: Matchmaking shenanigans continue! A heartless abomination goes on a date with the ultimate boy scout! Things don't go as terribly as you might think.
WHEN: February 14th
WHERE: Aqures Ixen


The display was impressive to say the least. Flower petals, music, a lavish carriage? How dreadfully romantic. But what amused her the most was just how fervently the Moogles seemed to place their faith in the results of their Matchmaker machine. None of them shuffled awkwardly or exchanged uncertain glances when Lust appeared. Not a single one of them seemed uneasy in the slightest.

It was...refreshing...in an odd sort of way.

In all honesty she'd been tempted to skip the entire thing, and she probably would have, if Flynn hadn't been pulled into this as well. He intrigued her in so many ways, and an opportunity to spend more time together was simply something that couldn't be passed up.

This might be the last chance they had, if they failed to defeat the Calamity. Why not indulge just a little? Besides, it would make him happy, and that was reason enough to acquiesce. She wore a fur-trimmed jacket over her sleek little dress of rich royal blue. Not black? No, not tonight, she'd decided. Blue was a color he seemed to favor, she noticed, and it was nice to put something on that wasn't her customary attire.

Her thick waves of ebony hair were pulled up into a high ponytail, ornamented with small tinkling beads of gold. She stood tall and elegant with her arms folded as she waited for her date, idly tapping a finger against her elbow.

When he did appear, her dark lips curved into a sardonic little smile. "Well? What do you think? A little over the top, but if it's to your liking, I see no reason not to go along with it."

Taking a step into the carriage, Flynn scratched the back of his head with a bit of a blush. "It matters more if you feel good wearing it," he reasoned aloud. He was dressed in a black suit, oddly enough. Taking a seat, he held a corsage in his hand that a Moogle threw at his earlier just before the carriage arrived. "I was told I was supposed to pin this on your wrist. I don't know what world this custom is from, so if you don't want to, that's fine as well."

He couldn't help but smile like an idiot. This was such an odd and new experience, but in the end, he was comfortable around Lust where it wasn't something awkward or something to be avoided. "But for what it's worth, I think you look absolutely gorgeous. You always look good, but it makes me happy that I get to see you like this as well."
