Log: Jubilee and Kurt

Backdated to the 17th November 2012 at about 7pm.



Kurt smiled quietly as he guided Jubilee up the stairs to the Brownstone's roof, mindful of the blindfold he'd put over her eyes.

"Almost there now", he assured her.

"You know, I gotta say it's a good thing I trust you," Jubilee murmured, allowing herself to be guided by him, even while her other senses made note of where they were, her training with both the thieves' and assassin's guilds had made use of all her senses on more then one occasion.

She could smell candle smoke, a variety of cooked food and...wine, or possibly cider. She grinned and allowed him to guide her further onto the roof, happy with what she guessed her surprise might be.

"I would never let you fall", he agreed, lessening his grip slightly as they stepped onto safer ground, then reached up to uncover her eyes. "Happy birthday, meine feuerwerkin."

Jubilee grinned at the setup, obviously he'd gone to some thought and effort to make this dinner romantic. It was rare that anyone went to that sort of trouble for her, or that she let them, if she was being entirely honest with herself. "Why, Mr. Sefton, I do believe you've outdone yourself."

"I certainly have tried", he said with a grin in return, leaning in for a quick kiss. "I believe that special occasions should be made as special as possible, and birthdays should always be marked somehow."

"I'm usually just grateful that I survived the year," Jubilee noted, walking toward the table he'd set up in order to take her seat. "This is much better."

"We can all be grateful that you survived the year", Kurt agreed, moving quickly ahead of her to pull the chair out like a proper gentleman and take the metal cover off her plate before sitting down himself. "But you deserve more."

"Some would argue with you on that," Jubilee noted, not including that she herself might be one of those people. "But I figure I'm not gonna to look a gift horse in the mouth, so lay on McDuff, what have you got for us tonight?"

"Food you will enjoy as a favourite, I hope. And then, if you want to, dancing." He drew a small stereo from under the table to show her, setting it a little to one side.

"I'm thinking you've thought of everything," Jubilee replied, looking down at the food and grinning broadly, he'd remembered her favourite Asian dish, Sung Choi Bao. "Dude, you remembered!"

"Of course." He grinned back, truly pleased to see her happy. "I have always had a good memory for details and I wanted this to be one perfect evening."

Jubilee smiled and placed her head against Kurt's shoulder, allowing her body to move slowly to the music as they danced. It had been a wonderful evening, with good food, good drink and even better company and she honestly couldn't remember when she'd had a better birthday.

"Thank you for this," she said softly.

"You are very welcome, liebling", he murmured, drawing her as close as he could while still dancing, with a gentle hand in her hair. "I am glad I chose everything rightly."

"You're very good at that," Jubilee responded, lifting herself off the ground for a moment using his shoulders for leverage to press a kiss against his lips. "They say birthday sex is the best kind you know. Think I could convince you to sleep over?"

Kurt chuckled, looking at her affectionately as her feet settled back to the ground. "I should think that will not be a problem."
