[Chase stays put, gradually unweaving his fingers from cloth. He tilts his head back, sighing, the faint flush that had begun creeping up his throat all too clear. No, Isaak isn't the only man in the city, but, somehow, he'd been the obvious preference.]

Perhaps I ought to head to a bar.

[Still. The night's young.

Chase's eyes remain oddly dark when he looks back at the other man.]

Tomorrow. [This is important.] Dinner? A movie? [If a little facetious.]

[See? That's something to be smug about.

He doesn't look up from his all-too-casual inspection of his sleeve immediately; not coyness, but the traces of his usual aloof air falling back in place. But he lets the trace of a smile ghost over his lips. The night is young, and Chase is as well. More than likely to get lucky if he keeps at it.]

Better to call it an evening,

[he reiterates, and finally-- slowly-- meets the other man's eyes again. A better man might feel responsible to babysit, but, well. The best he'll do is a spot of advice.

His smile widens a little, even if it doesn't quite reach his eyes.]

Tomorrow, give me a call and we'll skip dinner.

[Though he expects there's no reason to wait by the phone. But, ah, wouldn't it be nice?]

[It's the curse Isaak's advising. Chase's better judgement, poor on an ordinary day, is absent tonight. So either he gets lucky tonight, or he has the luck of nothing to regret in the morning - either way, the city's mercurial whims will absolve some of the blame.

He raises his eyebrows, grins a little.]

I was starting to worry you'd hold out for the third date.

[And nods.]

I'll call.

[It's been a strange, frustrating but not entirely worthless interlude in his evening. Holding onto a promise, Chase makes the first move toward the exit. The gardens offer a good view for a newer resident, after all.]
