"Yeah..." she squeaks out from behind her wings. "My landings are usually better than this."

"Your landings are usually without a passenger whose hair was in your face half the way."

She offers Nailah a hand up.

"Not exactly impressive though." she says with a cringing smile as she takes the offered hand to get to her feet.

"Okay. Good. Yes. It was! I mean I knew I did and I figured you would, but I didn't know if you were going to for sure cause you said no peeking, so I didn't, so I wasn't sure how it was gonna work out..." she rambles, still holding Janice's hand.

"Not bad for working without a net," she says with a squeeze of Nailah's hand.

It's at that point that she decides the best way to get Nailah to stop rambling is to dart in and kiss her full on the lips.

That startles Nailah into pausing. And after a brief moment of being frozen in surprise she remembers she's supposed to do something in this situation and only a little awkwardly returns the kiss.

"That was... nice." she blushes furiously.

"Y-yeah, lil bit..." she smiles slightly before trying to regain some composure even though her tail is still swishing wildly behind her. "We... uhm... restaurant. We should probably... start heading that way, yeah?"

"Yeah, it's around the corner, here." She nods, leading Nailah on.

"I won't embarrass you in there."

"Too much."

"I'd be much more suave if you'd let me peek." she informs Janice as they're walking. She never let go of Janice's hand and it'd be weird to withdraw it now. Besides, it's kind of nice...

"Plus I just didn't want you getting headaches all night trying to guess what would happen."

She slips inside the restaurant, nodding to the hostess. "Table for two, please."

"So how many skulls are we shooting for on the spiciness scale here?" Janice smirks to Nailah as they're seated, scooping up a menu.

Nailah just grins and waves down the waitress and orders the extra-spicy Chicken Pathia.

"I mean... I've had spicy Mexican chicken stuff before." she says but once again she finds that, unable to look ahead, it's much harder to appear as overly confident as she usually does and she does, in fact, have bit of a nervous pit of anticipation in her stomach.

"Well, who am I to refuse a request?"

She eats a piece, lingering a bit overlong in an exaggerated manner around the fork. There might be some ill-advised tongue involved here.

It would almost look sexy if Janice wasn't starting to sweat.

'Hah, I see what you're doing but you only goofed yourself this time." she grins and chomps down on a forkful of chicken without letting it linger, quickly followed by a second and third portion. Which is it's own kind of mistake as she slowly comes to realize.
