[there's a moment where he thinks temenos is about to blow their cover (which doesn't exist, because he is bad at this), but-- phew. nope, nope they're good. it's fine. this guy is buying it.]
temenos's expression does not budge an inch - his expression stays completely placid, the smile of a cleric - and he turns his head back towards the vampire companion and puts his hand to his own cheek. ]
Yes - ah. I believe we were... what were our evening plans again, dear?
[ jesus christ. yeah. on a date. this was very convincing. the vampire pouts - temenos smiles, politely, and then allows gregor to start leading him out of the club door.
the literal second they are out of earshot, he says, ] Was that subtle for you?
Besides the fact that I could have easily dispatched him if he tried, I imagine he would have found my blood to be particularly distasteful. Apparently, they don't do too well with the holy and the light.

[think gregor think. bullshit this with all the power of a man who's never been on a date in his life.]
Well, I was gonna surprise you! You're not gonna make me spoil it, right?
no subject
... Yes, I suppose that would be unfortunate, wouldn't it.
[ he is almost impressed at how bad you are at this. the vampires pouts and temenos waves his hand, starting to hop up out of the seat.
throws him a bone: ]
And does the surprise start here? Or somewhere else?
no subject
Somewhere else! Definitely, ah, not here. We should go back to our-- room.
[because they are definitely just tourists and on a date! they have a hotel room. not a ship. right.
after temenos is on his feet, gregor is immediately guiding him towards the door. WE GOTTA GO.]
