Violets and Thorns

Kate's smirk didn't fade as she would deliver one final jab in that conversation. "Gonna have to see if you'll say that again after i choke you out next time~" She said with a bit of a lilt at the end, promising something that already wasn't too uncommon betwen the two... In private. Though she really couldn't argue, Alizeh was probably the best wrestler she knew and certainly the best she faced and the result spoke for it self. At least as long as Kate kept ignoring how close the match was but she was still prone to such things.

"Oh, i don't mind fasting but yo'd have to do the same and i invited you here to eat." She replied in a similarly joking manner before herself reaching for a glass "And if i get too lost i might get some silly ideas" She said, making it clear with the expresion she made exactly what she ment before taking a sip. Immidietly, her expresion turned into a slight grimace. "Acquired taste i think" she commented, haveing made the choice for wine for Alizeh, herself not really haveing any expiriance with alcohol

Alizeh chuckled a bit at Kate's words but never once looked as if she was backing down from the muscular beauty. "Guess we'll just have to see huh?" Alizeh asked jokingly before grabbing her glass. Truthfully despite her words she wouldn't be shocked if Kate beat her in a rematch. The woman took to wrestling like a fish to water and with her physique she was truly a monster that was only held back by her lack of confidence, but that was becoming less and less of a problem every day.

Of course Alizeh loved that for her girlfriend, in fact if Kate didn't have the potential to beat her in a match than Alizeh would have probably been a lot less attracted to her. Grabbing her glass and lifting it up Alizeh would take a sip and hum slightly in stark contrast to Kate's reaction. "Pretty solid, though a little on the sweet side, probably why you aren't crazy about it." Alizeh said before reaching over and sliding her fingers over Kate's arm. "Thanks for choosing it for me though babe." Alizeh said appreciatively while continuing to gently run her finger nails over Kate's arm.

"The sweetness is nice, it's more so the alcohol that's a problem. I never really drunk before." She said with a bit of an awkward smile. "I do still have a bottle Huan got for my birthday, was gonna share it with you but... we were busy." She added, feeling Alizeh's nails on her skin just a second before she said the last part, It was almost like the woman could read her mind and a well-timed scratch sent a shiver down her spine. "Careful now, shouldn't think of desert before we finish the main course." She said, trying to sound smug but landing a bit flat from a slight shiver in her voice.

Still, not wanting to give up on a quite expensive bottle, Kate would swirl it a bit, more out of seeing others do so in movies and such than actualy knowing what it was supposed to do and brought it up to her nose, expecting to get a whif of alcohol bit instead being greated with nice floral aroma before she'd take a smaller sip letting it sit on her tongue for a bit. It became clear to her at that moment there was a skill to drinking too and the first sip she took was as slopy as it could have been. "It might not be as bad as i thought"

Alizeh chuckled a bit and nodded at what Kate said. Made sense, odds are she wasn't drinking with the right mindset then, but that was pretty on brand for the purple haired woman, though Alizeh just found it cute. As per usual. However.. "Now I'm just really curious to see what you're like drunk, I bet you're wild as hell hehe." Alizeh said jokingly before getting a dangerous look in her eyes.

"Could always make our way to that bottle when we get home though ~" Alizeh said teasingly with a wink before leaning back, smiling softly as Kate took another sip and seemed to enjoy the wine a bit more this time. "Yeah its an acquired taste, as in it requires skill to drink." Alizeh said right back to joking again as she swirled her own wine about before taking another sip.

"Honestly Kate this place is super nice and the wine is great, thank you again for this." Alizeh said with a soft, tender smile towards her girl friend before taking another sip of her drink.

Kate blushed a little at the comment about what Alizeh imagined her to be like when drunk, though frankly, her guess was as good as any and also very on-brand for Alizeh. "You'd love that, wouldn't you." She'd reply, puffing up her cheeks a little in a fake show of indignance before laughing. Then upon hearing what Alizeh said she'd smile wider. "You know, I might not have experience but I still am part Polish, might just see how you are when drunk way before you see me that way."

After saying that, Kate set down her glass, grabbed the cutlery and proceeded to cut into the stake, cocking her head as she listened to Alizeh. "Only the best for my lovely gem." She'd say, hesitating for a moment before adding. "I might have something more to show you later tonight, but let's focus on now."

Smirking slightly at what Kate said Alizeh would just shake her head. "Careful babe, you know how I am with challenges." She said with a wink at the woman before grabbing her own fork and knife and started to cut off some pieces before munching on them, quirking an eyebrow up as she heard what she said. "Oh? Well alright then, don't tease me with a good time, but I'll be patient and wait to see what you have in store." Alizeh said with a smile before looking Kate in the eyes again. "Besides, I like enjoying the moment with my little combat wombat." Alizeh said meeting Kate's nickname usage with one of her own.

"And you know how I am with these too, so I hope you have a trick for hangovers, you'll need it after I drink you under the table!" Kate said proudly though she expected she would have a pretty big issue with stomaching the bottle in question, given it was rum and wine alone made for at least an initially unpleasant experience. For now, she had the remainder of her glass to practice with and a stake that positively begged to be eaten, not to even mention the crab.

She dug in for a bit as Alizeh spoke, blushing as she heard Alizeh use her nickname "Oh, come on this one in public? should I be calling you my little gentle breeze too?" She said, sticking out her tongue at the end. They continued to talk and dine, soaking in each other's company as the sun slowly set outside, soon leaving the city in the soft gloom of an early evening.

One banter and gourmet filled dinner later would find Alizeh and Kate both leaving the restaurant and heading out into the city. Both women were a bit tipsy from the wine but not quite drunk and Alizeh happily clung to Kate's arm while resting her face on Kate's shoulder, very much happy with things thus far.

"Wanna burn off some of this fullness by going for a walk around the park babe, its really nice this time of day." Alizeh said while gesturing to the soft orange glow around them and the park that was just about a minute or two walk from the restaurant they exited. "Plus it'll be a nice backdrop for whatever surprise you have waiting for me." Alizeh said playfully with a wink along with a extra little kiss to Kate's shoulder as she did so.

The slight haze of alcohol was a new experience for Kate, not unpleasant in the least and to be fair, quite relaxing, something Kate typically had an issue with so it was a nice bonus. "And where do you think I'm leading you my little gem?" Kate would tease already heading into the park, she had in fact picked a spot earlier, it was a lucky find really, she stumbled upon it on a run but it was absolutely perfect for this.

After a few minutes of meandering through the alleys of the park and getting off the beaten path, they got to the spot. On the other side of a small creek there lay a large stone, the side facing the water a sheer drop around ten feet tall with smaller stones scattered around it that allowed one to climb up to the top, right next to the stone too was a hill which housed a willow, spreading its branches over the stone itself, it's dangling leaves just above head height, as long as you were seated that is and down the creak was a pond, which being to the west right now served as a perfect mirror to reflect the sunset.

Kate would quickly go forward, jumping from one stone to another to get across the creek and where she'd gesture for Alizeh to do the same. "Come on!" she'd say, going to climb the rock and wait on top to assist Alizeh up should she need it before they'd sit at the edge, overlooking the pond in the distance.

Alizeh blushed and giggled softly as she heard what Kate said, finding the use of the nickname extremely cute and endearing, making her nod softly against Kate's shoulder, even as they stepped off the path and through the trees a bit to a creek. "Oooh pretty uh wait what?" Alizeh asked suddenly as she saw Kate start hopping across rocks to the other side! "Ohhh boy I wish I didn't have that last glass." Alizeh said to herself with a soft breath before jumping up and hopping across the stones, following after Kate and luckily not needing help, but definitely near stumbling into Kate when on the other side of the creek, though landing into her girlfriend's arms was definitely something she didn't mind. But they'd soon head over to the edge where Kate would sit her down where Alizeh would flash a grin at the girl. "That surprise better be worth the unexpected workout babe." Alizeh said jokingly towards the girl while leaning on her hands to look up at the purple haired girl, waiting for whatever it is she had for her.
