Summary: A spur of the moment trip to KC for Lilith's baby shower and Percival left the travel arrangements up to Titania. Bad move, bro.


With a sigh that rang only with very much put-upon and playful exhaustion, Titania dropped her soft-sided carry-on bag onto one of the double beds in the hotel room. Then she straightened, grounded her hands at the small of her back, and arched with another little noise until she felt the muscles loosen. Even as she focused on her body's reactions, she let her grey gaze roam around the room.

It was passable, she decided. Generally inoffensive and apparently clean. Decorated in various shades of tan, it left her longing for color but the price was right. Something she had to pay attention to since she was determined to be doing the treating when it came to the room.

"So... Not too bad, huh?" She smiled at her would-be roommate for the weekend. "Am I still awesome?"

"Oh, no. Please don't." Bouncing to her feet again and stretching across the table, Titania managed to press her hand down atop his, pinning him to the table. Then she smiled up at him. "A strapping young man needs his food," she chuckled, "and I won't steal yours."

Percival looked down at her hand on his, then up at her, and gave a little laugh. "Okay, if you insist. Though I don't think I'm very strapping." Sliding his hand out from beneath hers, he picked up the burger and took another bite. "You have to admit, it's really good," he nodded around his mouthful.

"Mmhm. It really is but my salad is yummy, too," she assured him as she took her first bite of the leafy greenness on her plate. She was only somewhat exaggerating; it actually was a pretty decent salad for a diner. "So then... Any other plans or requests for tonight, cutie?"

"Hmm." He pondered over his burger. "Well, we could do some sightseeing maybe," he offered once he had swallowed his bite. "Explore a little bit, maybe find someplace to have a couple drinks." Then he chuckled. "I haven't had my daily quotient of beer yet."

"Now that sounds like a great idea to me. I think it's a little dark out for sight-seeing but a bar sounds like it could be fun." She tilted her head to one side and toyed with her fork as she watched him with a sly smile. "Are you strictly working-man's bar or would you take me out dancing?"

Percival blinked. "Um, yeah, sure, we could go dancing. I mean, I'd love to take you dancing. I gotta warn you, I'm not a real good dancer... kinda awful, really." He shrugged and offered her a smile. "But I'm not going to deny my queen anything she wants to do."

Titania's smile could have easily doubled as a small sun, all for Percival's benefit, and she set her fork down. Then she reached across the table, stretching until she could touch his cheek gently. "That's just the kind of offer a girl likes to hear," she giggled.

"Then we should probably finish our dinner and figure out where to go," Percival laughed, blushing slightly under her touch. "I lived here for a little while and remember a few places that might work, if they're still there."

"Then you'll get to lead, sweetheart." Titania settled back into her seat and picked up her fork once more. Deftly, she began sorting through her food and taking delicate bites. Her smile lingered at the corners of her lush mouth. "Let's paint the town red tonight. Show them how we in the magical circle do things."
