Artacus raised his head up as he heard his name and looked to the man addressing him. The turian motioned to the man that he'll be there in just a second and checked the time on his omni-tool. "Hmm.. about five minutes till she's here." Artacus thought, looking at the time on his omni-tool. He stands up, closing the device as he hears his name being called. "Table for two, reserve a seat for.. Arina Caenis." He says before being escorted to his table. He sits down in his own seat, rearranging the silverware to his liking. Artacus turned his head to the view next to the table, observing the artificial nighttime sky in the air for a moment, before looking to where his date is supposed to enter from.
Artacus usually came here along to dine by himself, it was practically one of his most visited of places on the Citadel. He loved the seats, the food, and the view. He neatly adjusted himself in his chair and waited for Arina. He made sure to unruffle his clothes and act polite. He checked the time again on his omni-tool, typing away at some other things. "She should be here by now.." He thought to himself as he looked back to the restaurants entrance, waiting patiently...

Arina had been trying outfits for way too long… bare midriff? No… sleeveless, or with gloves…. cutouts? Short or long? It’s a first date, don’t be too ouvert, he’s a turian and a neat freak… not too much makeup but to the point…. Eventually she had opted for a black and purple long dress of a classic thessian cut, a bit festive while not too extravagant. It was made of a very light thin fabric that fell like a waterfall, with some sheen that glimmered with soft reflections.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The place was not far from her block, which eventually had proven convenient. She was eventually a little bit late but that was just okay, she didn’t want to appear eager. Mildly interested if anything and so she took her time to stroll towards the entrance of the restaurant, the maitre recognized her from previous visits and greeted her, pointing out the waiting Artacus. Arina nodded and spend another moment, browsing the place until she slowly followed the maitre to the table.
She smiled brightly, that picture did the turian justice, he was quite handsome indeed. “Good evening, Artacus. What a wonderful table we have.” She said as she was seated.

Artacus caught a glimpse at the asari walking toward the table. He rearranged himself in his chair again and made sure he was sitting in an upright position. He observed Arina in her black and purple dress and was not disappointed. One other thing was Artacus thought she saw her before, maybe walked by her on one of his strolls. Artacus shook the thought out of his head, he was probably kidding himself with that. Artacus nodded his head gracefully with a smile, his mandibles twitching somewhat as she addresses him. "It is nice to meet you as well Ms. Caenis, you are beautiful as I ever imagine." He replied with a light-hearted chuckle.
He motions to the chair on the other side of the table. "Please, sit. It'd be rather.. awkward of having a dinner date while one of us is standing, no?" He said, trying to make a humorous comment. The table itself would be devoid from anything out of place. The cloth that protects the tables hard surface doesn't have a speck of dust on it, the silverware shined light of their clean metallic parts, and the chairs would be neatly aligned with one another. Either Artacus did all this by himself, or the restaurants employees are clean freaks themselves.

"Oh, thank you very much, Artacus. You look splendid yourself." Arina could really cherish a well cut suit and the turian sure knew how to wear it. A weak air of familiarity was about him, but Arina could not point a finger on it. Maybe she had seen a similar suit before. she wondered what Artacus did for a living, she just knew he wasn't around embassy circles. She had not thought it through how much she wanted to tell him about her line of work. Go with flow, she thought.
"I definitely plan to sit to dine, sir." she chuckled and took the offered seat. Knowing the place from previous visits, she noticed a particular care about the arrangement on the table. "So, we're not running away on first sight. May I suggest an aperitif?" As if on command, the waiter arrived. "Would you join me on some Sparkle Spirit?"

Artacus nodded at the asari, keeping himself upright in the chair. "Certainly Ms. Caenis. aperitif sounds excellent indeed." Artacus turned his head to the waiter standing next to the table. "Two Sparkle Spirits, if you please." He says in a polite tone. The waiter types down the order onto his datapad and leaves to go deliver the order. Artacus watches the waiter go, then turns his attention toward Arina in her black and purple dress. "I see you chose a very attractive dress for this occasion. It really fits you well." He says in a polite, gentlemanly manner.

Arina smiled, showing some teeth. "That's wonderful to say. I was going back and forth to find the best fitting look for the occasion, sometimes too many choices can be a problem!" She put a hand to her chest, as if sighing with relief. "I am glad I passed the test, I was concerned if I might be orderly enough!" she laughed to lift more of the tension. Their Sparkle arrived, glasses marked for chirality.
"But I have to give back that compliment!" Really, his suit was spotless and every fold seemed to be taken care of. She raised her glass and offered to touch them, cocking her head slightly.
"I am truly curious about you, Artacus. To our start into this evening...." Her senses gave her various possibilities of what he might be doing for a living, but it was one of these occasions where the fact that she could not see through him right away, was making her senses tingle, positively excited about any revelation.

"Ah, thank you Miss Caenis." He replies with a smile, chuckling as well. "It's a bit hard to remove stains from well made attire like this, so I tend to be careful." He adds to the last sentence, catching a glimpse of the waiter approaching them with their beverages. Artacus moves his hand toward the glass meant for him, picking it up gingerly from the table. He looks to Arina across from her and slowly moves his glass of Sparkle Spirit to her own glass, a "chin" sound emitting from where the two glasses collide with each other. Artacus moves the drink to his mouth and takes a modest sip from the glass, tilting his head back a bit. He keeps the glass in his hand after he finished taking a sip, tilting his head back down to face Arina.
"Oh, curious about me?" He replied, his mandibles twitch for a brief moment. He didn't really know if she would be interested in his profession or not, as his job consisted of more than enough fugitives that had to be thrown in a cell, along with the dangers of either being shot, stabbed, or worse. "I'd say my occupation is rather.. interesting, for a refined man such as myself." He'd say, lowering his glass down so his view wouldn't be obscured from the glass.

"Oh, please call me Arina!" She took a sip of the Sparkle herself and set the glass down, as the slightly bittersweet taste was refreshing her. "I am curious by nature, all asari are, as the saying goes." she replied playfully. She opened the holo menus on the table, highlighted on top were the day's specials. She didn't feel in the mood or a 7 course dinner though. The a-la-carte list was relatively short but she knew this was a sign of the place's quality. She was narrowing her choice down...
"While I admit I can't even guess what your line of work might be, a more immediate surprise would be what you might chose for dinner." he wasn't nosy about her line of work just yet, Arina noticed. Maybe he was just being a gentleman. At least he hadn't insisted on something like rose - or the turian equivalent - as sign of recognition, now that she thought about it, and she was very okay with that.
She selected a salad appetizer with escargot and a steak - bloody and bloody expensive but oh well. You couldn't go to place like this and then go for protein slices on vegetables. "So, You said someone urged you to put your profile of on GoL?"

Artacus set the glass down onto the table in front of him, clasping his hand together and setting them on his lap. "As you wish, Arina." He said as she insisted on being called by her first name. He brought up a holo menu before him to see what would be the most appetizing for the both of them. So far, he didn't see anything else that he liked. Only the usual well-made steak he'd also get, since all Turians more or less leaned toward the carnivorous side of things. But for the sake of things, he thought it'd be interesting to try something new, if Arina suggests it. Nonetheless, he was yearning for a great evening.
Artacus closed down the holo menu and placed his hands into his lap again, looking toward Arina at her question. "Ah yes.. that." He said, rubbing his mandibles as he thought on what to say. "Not really sure how to put this.. but uh..." He kept thinking, smiling for a moment before chuckling. He tried to keep his composure, looking back to Arina. "The person that urged me was my uh.. daughter." He managed to say, shaking his head with a smirk. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but laugh. She is -really- hard to work with sometimes. And yet she manages to convince me every single time!" He jokingly adds, picking up his glass and taking a sip of his Sparkle Spirit. He lays it back down onto the table again, cleaning his mouth with the napkin that was in his lap. He put down the napkin back onto his lap, clasping his hands with one another and remained in his straightened posture in his seat. He wasn't sure what to say next, so he waited for Arina's response.

Arina smiled at his reaction when he came forward about his daughter. She remembered him mentioning her briefly in that GoL post. It seemed to distract him from the menu though. “Oh, wonderful, she must care about you a lot then. It's great to connect to your children.” Arina was diplomat enough to not pry on the subject that could hold very uncomfortable memories, if at all he should come forward on his own about it. She already noted his hesitation.
“So what will you take? I’m going for the steak tonight.” She tried to say that without any undertone but wasn’t sure if she managed. “I’ll decide on dessert later on though, I can never make my mind up, I want to go with whatever I feel like after the main course.” It wasn’t getting better. She tried not to look too suggestive at least. That she could manage, expressions were part of diplomat training 101.

Artacus smiled at her response, knowing that she was alright with the fact that he had a daughter. "Yeah, she does. Going to visit her when I'm taking a long rest from my job." He said as the turian lifted his head up a bit, bringing up the menu he was looking at before. He thought for a moment, stroking his right left mandible as he observed the menu. "I'll go with a steak as well." He finally replied, closing the menu before him. "I'm not sure what to choose for dessert either.." Artacus didn't pay no mind to dessert all, really because he focused more on a healthy meal more than something with too much sugar. Still, it'd be good to eat something 'extravagant' now and then. "I'll just go along with any of your suggestions when we finally finish with dinner." He said politely, smiling.

When both had made their sections on the holo menu, a swift waiter arrived, adding spectacularly looking steak knifes to their ensemble of silverware.
Arina took a sip of her Sparkle and studied Artacus over the glass. "So... what could that mysterious job ob yours be? You mentioned it involved a lot of travelling if I recall correctly."

Artacus picks up his glass of Sparkle Spirit and lifts it up to his mouth. He tilts it backward to his mouth and takes a sip from the glass. He lowers the glass down, and looks to Arina. "My job? Oh yes, that." He said, rubbing the back of his neck before bringing his hand back to his side. "Well, my occupation is a a fugitive recovery agent.. or bounty hunter, as it's informally called." He added. "I usually work with authorities like C-Sec to hunt down criminals. It's a tough job really."
Artacus picked up his glass and took a sip of his drink again, setting it back onto the table. "So yes, I do travel a lot with my job, as it requires me to track down a wanted fugitive."

Arina tried to hide her surprise. That man sure didn’t look like a bounty hunter. Maybe a bounty hunter’s accountant. But that water was full of surprises. She had to look his name up in the office. If he had a license from C-Sec, he’d be in the database.
“This sounds pretty dangerous!” she said. “I never would have guessed something like this. Do you get shot at a lot?” she chuckled at her last remark, only half joking.
Just at that moment the waiter with the entrée arrived. Escargot terran style. She was fonder of water snails herself but she had to admit, this went better with the steak. Carefully, she put one in her mouth while the waiter also refilled their glasses.
“I freely admit I prefer a deskjob!” she added.

Artacus rubbed his neck at her question, chuckling a tad. "Getting shot? Well at times, yes. But sometimes the people I'm after try to punch me, shank me, just overall hurt me." He puts his hand back to his side and turns his head to the waiter arriving at their table. He glances at the food on the tray, smirking. "Ah, this'll be a great dinner for sure." Artacus replied, making sure the napkin on his lap is settled neatly over his legs.
