"Indeed..."
That was all she replied as she sipped her drink and looked over the main menu. She really hadn't had a lot of the good stuff in a long time, but she knew that when she had the fresh Mooboo from her ex's castle that it was a rare treat. Still, she wondered what all the other meats tasted like.
"What do you suggest? You have been here before."
Twirling the black curls in her hair, she kept pondering what to order as well as other subjects.

"I must admit this is my first time here," Boogie replied, "Though I think the gorgon alfredo looks appetising. I always enjoy a good dragon marsalla."
He smiled as he enjoyed the time just between them with neither a personal nor a global crisis to interfere. His eyes wandered onto her luscious lips, and invariably how he'd like to know them better. The typically cool-headed mage felt his pulse quicken a little.

"Gorgon needs to be cooked right, though. You have to take out all the eye muscles or all the meat gets too stiff to cook."
She flipped though the menu and saw a couple of meat dishes, but decided she wasn't hungry enough for an entire steak. She did, however, find something that made her eyes sparkle.
" 'Sea Leech Chowder'? 'Farm raised at the Sea of Gehenna, feeding off live victims before being harvested for maximum richness in their blood'? Oh my! That sounds delicious! I only knew Leeches to be a collector for blood, but not as an ingredient. I imagine it's like calamari."
Her jovial mood returned as she giggled to herself. Oh, how she missed having some bit of a feast for herself. Looking for a new conversation topic, she decided what he had been up to at the castle.
"So, Boogie. What other devious plans do you have? You have been at the assembly often. I wonder what all you are trying to pass over there. I've always wanted to try it once, but I only have cooking dishes to offer as bribes."

"For the most part I have been petitioning the Assembly on matters pertinent to the campaign of controlling the Netherworld," Boogie explained, "Plundering enemies in battle is effective, but being able to supply ourselves with stronger weapons and armor is important as we build a proper army. It is true that after a certain point, it comes down to a handful of mighty demons. However, a large number of units that can stand up to most demons is an asset. And at the very least, a large army of half decent soldiers can be useful for manuevering the tougher foes into tougher terrain."
He chuckled a little at Emily's comment, "Beliece it or not, but a hot meal just might win over a great many of the Senators. That and a smile like yours will make them very compliant."
At first he was merely joking, then it dawned on him that Emily just might be a force to be reckoned with in the arena of Netherworld politics.

"You think so?"
She folded her hands in front of her thinking about what to do. She did enjoy tending to the housework around the castle, but perhaps the time had come to earn some respect from her dear Prince Laharl. As much of a boy as he was, he was also the ruler of the castle. She looked deep in thought as she looked at her drink and sipped it for a moment.
A part of her thoughts drifted to how good Boogie looked in that jacket. She pondered for a moment and sighed. He would be a tough opponent to beat with all of his magic. Then again, perhaps a few training exercises would be in order to make her more useful... to him, but... not really.
"Hmmm... Boogie? Perhaps I should give things a go. Particularly with my... ex... on the loose. Would you be so kind as to train with me that I might shame him?"

Caught off guard, Boogie hesitated before he responded, "Of course, I could not refuse you anything. To learn magic is not too hard to do, but like everything requires discipline to truly master. I would be more than happy to teach, and I just may learn a few things from you."
Boogie thought hard about which discipline to start off with. Supporting magic can be easy to learn, but without fully developing one's power is very limited. Healing magic does wonders, but an effective fighter shouldn't have to heal that much. Of course, destructive magic, with his natural resistances he imagined that he would be completely fine in the event of a backfire, and this would be the best means of reigning hell on the cowardly Maderas.
"Please tell me when you want to get started, I can think of a few places suitable for training. I would suggest wearing clothes that you would not mind getting scuffed up... or partially burned, torn, etcetera."

"Well, not so much in magic, perhaps... in the very least to get stronger. I do enjoy cooking and getting the wild game fit for a feast, I'll have to start getting it myself. I can only boil the spare bones of Aramis' pets for stock so many times."
The leeches arrived on time and she took her time with the meal. She smelled it on her fork to bring into the aroma and had a piece of the interesting dish. It was lightly breaded so it didn't look like a leech. Pausing to eat her meal, she tilted her head slightly.
"The texture isn't something I'm used to, but the taste... I have no idea how they keep the blood warm without drying it from the frying!"
She pondered what to wear in battle, not giving it much thought.
"I have always had my gowns for just about anything. I would have to find some elegant dress for armor as well. I am a little short on money these days, though."

"Stronger you say?" Boogie asked, "I know a few bare handed techniques as well, very useful in a pinch and open up the enemy for more powerful attacks."
He was silent as he comtemplated the thought of wrestling with Emily, and her hair whipping about as they were entwined. He cleared his throat, then twirled his fork to gather the pasta and bits of dragon. He took a bite and chewed thoughtfully.
He swallowed before he added, "Well, after we eat we could look around. I'm confident we could find suitable combat clothes at a reasonable price. I could cover som- no no, it'll be my treat. A present for your path to self mastery."

"Dinner and shopping? My, my... are you certain this isn't a date, Boogie, dear?"
She giggled to herself. Enjoying being taken care of by a man for once, she didn't really care if it was for his own agenda or not. It would be a blessed release to go shopping around for something elegant yet protective.
"I warn you, though. I will not shop at Victoria's... Succubus wear is not my style."
Letting that thought settle in for a moment, she knew the ice in his heart would be melted from the thought of her shopping there. Though she was a lady, she knew how to subtly tease someone. She knew he liked her as well as her covering but tight gowns.
Perhaps this was a little adventure of his own to watch her dress in all sorts of dresses before she found one which was fight worthy.
She kept a look of distain, however, at the thought of shopping at Victorias... that would make his feelings mixed and play with him even more.
Oh how she was smiling on the inside!

"It was purely spur of the moment," Boogie declared, "I'm devious, but I'm too open for a plan like that. Still, I'm not one to malign a happy accident."
Succubus' Secret, the competing human chain, and the other variations... as best a Boogie recalled, the "armor" they supplied was for a much more intense kind of battle. He feigned scratching his cheek in order to conceal a broad smile in spite of her apparent revulsion.
"Worry not," Boogie cleared his throat, "Leaving a little to the imagination is a good thing. But I dare say that more often than not, the reality is far more wonderful and sublime than mere flights of fancy."
