Sushi Station, Wednesday Evening

After he closed up at the shop, Victor ran back to the dorms to get ready for his date with Isabelle. This involved putting extra gel in his hair in a (mostly failed) attempt to get it to stop doing the stupid thing it was currently doing and -- because Isabelle seemed classy that way -- changing into a shirt with buttons and an actual collar.

And now he was rocking back and forth on his heels as he waited in front of the sushi place. Raw fish wasn't normally his first pick, but it seemed like a good night to try new-ish things.

[OOC: Primarily for Isabelle but it is, after all, an open restaurant.]

"Like, I can make them do things without touching them," Victor clarified, then lowered his voice slightly out of self-consciousness. "I'm an android. Kind of comes with a bunch of hidden talents, at least for me."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Is that so?)

For a second there, Isabelle gave him a blank look. She obviously wasn't genre savvy enough to be having this conversation.

"Like a robot?"

It was probably for the best that she didn't really know about the clockwork automatons some of her ancestors had battled in the prequel series, either.

"Half robot." Because that was clearly going to make perfect sense.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] City girl.)

"Half robot." Riiight. "How does that even work?"

She didn't even understand full robots.
ultron_junior: ([neu] a little suspicious)

"DNA, nanotechnology, and a very long story," Victor said, then tilted his head curiously. "No offense, but are you a science person at all? 'Cause I can go into more detail if you are."

That wasn't Victor being patronizing again. That was Victor having heard enough about Alec's family to assume technology wasn't a priority for any of them.

Mundane technology didn't even work back in the Shadowhunters' country of origin. So, he was not off with that assessment at all.

"No, I'm not a science person."

She was kind of eyeing him with something akin to professional curiosity now, though.
ultron_junior: ([neg] sad-eyed)

Under that cool gaze, Victor dropped his eyes and got very interested in rearranging the utensils and condiments on the table.

"Sorry," he half-mumbled. "I maybe should have saved the robot thing for after dinner."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Will not bend.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2014-02-20 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's okay." And maybe she should have apologized (okay, she definitely should have apologized), but that... didn't really even occur to her. "I'm just curious."

Mostly she was tryig to decide whether this made him a Downworlder.

"Curious makes sense," Victor told her, looking a bit less like he wanted to sink under the table. "It's goofy to go out if you don't want to get to know people better, right?"
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Oh me?)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2014-02-20 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, unless you just want to make out with them," Isabelle suggested lightly. "That doesn't require a whole lot of knowledge."
ultron_junior: ([neu] this should be good)

"See, but finding out what a girl's lipstick tastes like counts as getting to know her better," Victor bantered back.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] I rule supreme.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2014-02-20 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, yes, but at least that's not a thing you usually have to ask."

Well, except if the girl in question wasn't as easy with kisses as some.

"It's much better found out through experience, so it's kind of a different thing."
ultron_junior: ([pos] smirk)

[personal profile] ultron_junior 2014-02-21 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, fair enough," Victor agreed. "It's definitely one of those things that would feel hella weird to ask."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] A common language.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2014-02-21 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"And answer," Isabelle provided, amused. "My lipstick just tastes like lipstick, really. But my lipgloss tastes like cherries."
ultron_junior: ([b+w] dork)

[personal profile] ultron_junior 2014-02-21 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good to know," Victor told her, equally amused. "Not that I can tell by looking which one you're wearing, but still, good to know."

He was maybe hoping he might find out through experience by the end of the night.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Tee hee.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2014-02-21 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless he messed something up royally, he was going to find out.

"It's gloss." See, there was a spoiler. "But that's more of a dessert thing."

... And there was that. And the smirk.

"So, shall we order?"

"That's probably a good idea," Victor said, ducking his head to mask the slow smile spreading across his face. It seemed he was a fan of dessert.

He flagged down the waiter and ordered shrimp sushi and tempura. He was still a little suspicious of raw fish in general.
