OOM: Oakville, Texas, 1888. Dinner.
Jun. 12th, 2011 11:58 pmEven by 70s standards, this place is basic. But it looks brilliant to him, because it's real - proper, authentic Old West chairs, and tables; wooden floor and burning candles, and the smell of the desert right outside the door. It'll do him. Anything else just wouldn't be the same.
They're shown to a table and he makes sure to sit opposite her. All very proper. There doesn't seem to be too many other people here, which is good, because he hasn't yet worked out what counts as inappropriate for her, and it'd be all too easy for him to open his big trap and say the wrong thing. All too easy to mess this up, and get her into trouble.
As soon as a waiter comes near, he says, 'Whiskey. Double, no ice. Two of 'em.'
The food can wait until after.
