[ Zelda isn't sure what even brought on asking. Perhaps this was just something too important for her to forget about. ]
Sabrina proposed that I... [ Straightening her shoulders, Zelda lifts her chin. If she is to be rejected, she will do so with pride. ] Ask you on a date.
( those are not the words that she thought would come from zelda's mouth, though considering that the advice came from sabrina it fitted.
but a date? it makes her quiet for a moment, expression thoughtful, seeming to consider it. because she is. lilith's had a lot of experience in her life, relationships that were generally solely sexual in nature but-- a date? something so simple and almost mortal? she's never been on one.
well-- she's had dinner with adam, had taken that walk with him-- but those are experiences that lilith actively tries not to think about, to bury deetp within her. they can't help her now.
or can they? )
A date.
( she finally takes a step forward and though she hasn't yet accepted it she also hasn't outrightly rejected it )
And what would this entail?
( what did zelda envision doing on a date? what would a date between these witches even be like? )
[ Zelda reminds herself that the question in itself is not rejection, although she does feel frustrated. She's trying. Dates weren't normal for her, either; she and Faustus' relationship consisted of sexual encounters that cumulated in her basically forcing him to propose.
But she's also not sure how to answer. Sabrina had given her suggestions, but they all seemed so... mortal. Of course, they were better than Zelda's ideas, on account of the fact that they at least existed. ]
There's a cafe that the children in Greendale frequent. Hilda works there. Perhaps we could go there and-- [ She struggles for a moment. What do mortals do on dates? ] eat together.
( with sabrina, calming heads after all that had happened at tommy kinkle's funeral, driving her blade a little deeper.
but that was the past and this-- it was so simple. and nice. she might have suggested a walk, remembering that fondly with adam but truthfully the cafe was likely better. they'd be able to sit and talk )
Tuesday.
( it's a quick word for her acceptance but it doesn't need too much fuss. that part is to come )
2pm.
( a nice lunch. besides, evenings were busier in hell )
[ The middle of the school day, and not during one of Hilda's shifts. The timing couldn't be better. Zelda would have Lilith all to herself.
Granted, an afternoon lunch didn't leave much opportunity for certain other kinds of encounters but... Perhaps that was to come. Perhaps, Zelda imagines, it might be nice to take things slow for once. ]
[ Zelda does manage to see it, and it swells her heart. For the first time in weeks, she feels lighter, like the weight of the world has been lifted from her shoulders. ]
Then. And it was a pleasure, to be able to see you again.

[ Oh Heaven, that sounded absolutely laughable. ]
But if you'd rather something else...?

I look forward to it.

Then I will see you then.
