As they walked along the darkened path, Nick searched for something to talk about. She liked books, but he didn't really read them for fun, and he knew she wasn't interested in his particular hobbies of White's and drinking.
"You look pretty tonight," he finally blurted, then frowned deeply. As interesting conversation went, that was perhaps not the best way to start one.

"O--oh," Lillian stammered, taken quite by surprise. "Th--thank you...I was actually just telling Bea this is my least favorite dress." She chuckled a bit, smoothing down her skirts with her palm.

"Really," Nick answered rather dumbly. He frowned deeper, wondering if perhaps he'd offended her somehow. Blast, but women could be complicated. "I think it's very nice."

"Thank you," she repeated, blushing a little. "Maybe my mirror is lying to me a little. Maybe it looks better on me than I suppose it does." She shot him a shy smile before accidentally walking a bit closer to him. My, but he smelled divine.

As she stepped toward him, he used the excuse to pull her arm closer in toward him. "It must be lying," he said a little softly. He thought she looked beautiful, under the moonlight with the gardens behind her, but perhaps it was just the night air making him sound silly.

"Either that or you are," she teased, nudging him softly with her elbow. Her smile turned a bit mischievous as she gazed up him, and she tried her hardest to suppress a giggle.

Nick lifted his eyebrows, developing a teasing edge to his tone as well. "Are you accusing me of lying, Miss Lillian?" He quirked the corner of his mouth up, though, ruining his attempt at indignation.

((Are you accusing me of lying, kid?! Haha, Weasel!!))
Lillian let out a soft gasp, her free hand going up to rest on her heart, as if she were in shock. "Me? Accuse you of lying? ...Well, yes, I guess I am."

((haha, unintentional newsies reference!  )) Nick let out a laugh at that, grinning down at her. "That hurts, Lillian. When have I ever lied?" |
