figures it's a brotherly outing, and dresses up happily. He arrives in a sleek black suit, with a back shirt and red tie. He peeks around the small barrier at the front of the restaurant, looking for his_

_brother.

was glad his brother was the one to show up first. He gently pulls him aside when he sees he's alone. "Gilbert, great you made it." He tucks two tickets for the New York philharmonic performing in

Roderich felt very insulted when Ludwig specified her to dress elegantly; it was Ludwig who lacked the air of grace, always dressing with wrong colour coordination...

anyhow, as blue is her dominant mood for today, she picks out a simplistic midnight blue night dress, adorned with some lace on the shoulder that further softens her curves.

The cutting does show some cleverage (not that she has a lot anyway), but mostly on the conservative side.

A perfectly curled hair and light makeup, but not dramatic or formal - it is Ludwig that she is dealing with - nothing important.

Berlin in his brother's front pocket. He looks him over and nods in approval. "Gut, when you go up to the host tell him you have a reservation under the name of Beilschmidt."

doesn't even get a chance to look at the tickets. "Wait, what? I...are you meeting me up there with beer or something?" He has absolutely no idea what's going on.

smiles in amusement. "It's for two. I'm not the second person. You'll see. Now go. Your dinner guest is here." He says pushing him forward.

arrives at the restaurant, turning in her long black coat to one waiter on the left, then asking the waiter on the right for the reservation under Beilschmidt, knowing that Ludwig would have a reservation

already booked. She was not quite used to the noise created by high heels, but it did seem pleasant hearing it. As the waiter began escorting her, she noticed Ludwig and another person's back

at the side of the restaurant.... "Ah- Ludwig-" She raised her voice, and who was that.... "Gilbert!?" Flushing, she did not expect seeing him here... How she missed the other.

had not expected her to get here just yet and tenses when she calls out to him. He glances at his brother. "She's your guest." He says softly before turning his attention onto Roderich. "You're

early."

"I do have standards, Ludwig - what are you expecting, a four hour make up session?" She huffs and shakes her head slightly, dismissing the waiter and walking towards to the German brothers, giving Gilbert a

gaze of surprise, as well as a demure smile, not quite sure how exactly to react with Ludwig hiding his plan...

quirks his eye at the girl, not recognizing her as Roderich. It had been awhile since he'd seen the other, and especially in this form he was...confused. He offered her a slight smile, before turning to West_

and putting his back towards her. "Oi, you're hooking me up with some chick? Did Eliza put you up to this? Why does she looked surprised to see me, I don't know her." He tried to whisper, but he admittedly _

_wasn't very skilled in keeping his voice quiet.

sighs looking embarrassed. "Gilbert...that's Roderich..." His face was a little flush at how bad Gilbert was at being discreet.

"....................." she turns away and tries not to twist her face, as she frankly wants to leave after Gilbert used "chick" to describe her.

chicks are cute, he usually walks around with one on his head. Gilbird, anyways. He blinks when West tells him who it is, and glances over. "No fucking way...Roddy?" He prods at her shoulder to get her to face_

_him. "Since when are you a chick?"

should have remembered herself constantly that Gilbert tends to be rather foul mouthed, and that it was natural for her to feel more offended as a female. "I do not recall myself turning into a bird, but if you

are inquiring when exactly did I turn female, it was around two months ago." She replied in a somewhat displeased tone, but less severe as she has missed the other for so long.

kinda being blatant about checking her out. Damn, it looked like Roddy got a pretty decent set. "Right, right. You caught that thing going around, huh?"

clears his throat. "I'll leave you two at it then."

"Ah-yes- Ludwig." He seems to be in a hurry. "I shall not take up more of your time then. Good evening to you." She bids the younger farewell, pretending that she didn't know Gilbert checking her out. "After

I had contact with male Elisa, unfortunately." She responded to the question in an efficient manner.

frowns a little. "West, you're going? You can stick around for a little while longer, you know." She glanced at Roderich. "And why was that unfortunate?" Eliza as a guy was smoking hot.

frowns a bit at the dismissal but gives Gilbert a meaningful look before leaving.

((Ops didn't see that. Did you want me to stay?"

[Everything is entirely up to you.]

[Obligatory bracket response. xD]

(( Nah, I'll just go. It would be awkward. ))

[Gil's...Gil, it'll be awkward regardless xD But okaay]

"So unfortunate that you cannot recognise me by the first look.... even Ludwig could when he was a child..." She gazes at Gilbert, looking melodramatically disappointed.

very very used to Roddy being a drama queen. "That's what happens when you drop off the face of the earth."

Well, she is now the queen. "How heartless. You deserve all kinds of penalties of the earth...." she fades off her words to an inaudible range, then returned to the regular smile as if she had said nothing.

"Let's get the table."

rolls his eyes at that. He grumbles a few choice words under his breath, wondering why exactly West thought this was a good idea. "Right. table. Oi!" He flags down one of the staff, giving his last name. _

_"Come on, princess."

[How on earth could I not notice this]

The address made her smile rather sweetly; he used to despise the name "princess" when he was a male, but now gender has changed, and the title is more than fitting. "Yes, my dear sir," she replies

in amusement, following the gentleman's lead.
