2025-01-19 - Journal Entry #8 (Erika Y's)

(OOC: As with all of Erika's other journal entries, this scene represents one or more IC computer files which are presented in English but is ICly in Norwegian.)

It's a Sunday evening and between having a light dinner and washing the dishes used for it, Erika has sat down at her kitchen table to update her journal about some recent events.

19.01.25

Tank came through for me with the costumes. He was delayed, we had to do the fitting yesterday morning instead of the night before but that worked out well. Apparently though, staying up all night and getting them ready for me caused him to sleep though the actual event. Good thing someone posted a video of it here so he can watch it still.

I think that the second me being up there was a hit. It definitely was with Angel who I reconnected with. Hadn't seen her since Syria but still clicked. Got two calls for clinic needs. Two separate islands. Gods I hope my boss doesn't start counting on me being able to do that. Hoping they didn't even notice to be honest, but we'll see I guess, won't we.

Tank didn't see my messages from Saturday night until early today. He woke me up with the buzzing of my phone, but I'm not going to complain, its nice for someone to reach out and communicate. He said he was so sorry that his planned nap turned into a full night's sleep. Kind of adorable cause I can practically imaging his expression when he realized what happened.

I also think my sleepy sarcasm might have started to upset him. There was a delay in the reply. Well, if how I am when I am waking is going to sour a relationship better to know up front right? But if it did it didn't do any damage because he asked me out! Today! And since it's a freeday for me I accepted of course.

We met at the Dancing Eye Gallery a bit before lunch time for some pre-meal art appreciation and then a lunch together. I chose to dress up. He didn't. That's fine, I wanted to, and we hadn't discussed a dress code after all. I hope I didn't make him feel out of place. I am fairly certain that my dress got his attention. He also saw that wobble. UGH, I have to practice walking in heels better. Glad I didn't sprain my ankle.

On the way there I swung by Fabricadabra to pike up a gift for Tank, didn't get him one for our 'business' transaction or when I visited his workshop (to me it feels like a home-away-from-home for hm). It's a choker with the "Tiwaz" rune on it (ᛏ). He accepted it and it looked good on him. T for Tank after all. Plus, the connotation of strength and honor. It was fitting in my personal opinion.

After walking though the gallery, we went to lunch at Borgi's. He let me order for him. Even took the same beer I ordered (a taste from home) and we split the sauerkraut. Nice kiss at the end and I reminded him to keep in touch as he went back to work after seeing me to the ferry.
