I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY​

Mic ran his fingers through his hair for the hundredth time.

Standing on the wharf outside the little diner and dance club on one of Scarif's many beaches in the early evening, he was slightly nervous.

After a few months of working together on various...specialised...jobs, he had finally worked up the courage to ask Ashryn out on an official leisure date.

And now he was a nervous bum.

His very irritating droid, Olly, just couldn't get enough of teasing him about the amount of times he had changed shirts before he had left the cabin. If Mic was being honest, he never thought that Ash would actually agree to this.

Bouncing on his toes while he waited for her to meet up with him in front of Drexl's Lounge, he let out a deep breath.
"Just be a normal bum, Michie." he told himself, dragging his fingers through his hair once more.

How long had it been, since Ashryn and Mic had first met? That fated encounter that had nearly gotten the both of them killed. Something that had been so well planned out, thoroughly thought out with each and every detail, and should have been executed flawlessly....but that had gone up in a puff of smoke the moment Mic had meandered his way into the same lab that Ash had been trying to work in. And the rest? Well, it was all history now. The pair of them were the best partners in crime - literally really - and at this point in their relationship, Ash couldn't imaging not having her favorite beach bum around.

And yet it had still caught her off guard for him to buck up and ask her on a proper outing. The sort where the pair of them get dressed up, go out, and enjoy each other's company outside of thievy things.

So of course, Ash had agreed. And then she had beaten herself up for hours, and gone through the entirety of her wardrobe, and still wasn't satisfied by the time she was dressed and presentable. A strange thing really, because Mic was the one person who has seen her at her worst. Emotionally, physically, mentally, the works. He's seen her completely filthy, as well as freshly pampered. So why did this particular outing make her feel like she wasn't presentable enough?

Not that it mattered, because Ashryn had forced herself to go when it was time. She had made her way to Drexl's Lounge and she spotted Mic immediately. And while she didn't feel all that much better about her own state of dress, she couldn't help but smile at his as she approached him. "Well don't you clean up nicely?" she teased, because really she already knew that he cleaned up well. This particular situation was just...different. Didn't make the comment any less true, however!

DON'T STOP ME NOW​

Why was he gaping like a fish tonight?

It was not the first time he had seen her all dressed up and cute. But tonight was different. They weren't dressed up for some job. No, tonight it was just them - no job. So, as Ashryn walked up to him, he was gaping like a fool for a minute.

Finally, he shook himself out of his foolish stupor and smiled a goofy smile at her.
"You look amazing!" he finally said. "You ready to go have some fun?" he then asked. He then held his arm like some proper gentleman for her to take.

Not that he really was a proper gentleman, but it helped to pretend sometimes.

He then led her into Drexl's, trying his hardest not to bounce in through the door. Inside, a good vibe was rolling. Some good music, some lights, some cigara smoke, some dancing and some booze. Mic usually came here for the music and the booze.

He turned his head towards Ash.
"Wanna get booze first then dance? Or dance first then booze?" he asked with a grin. At least she knew him well enough, so he did not have to hide his love of some good alcohol.

To have Mic gape at her the way he was actually brought a hue of pink to Ashryn's cheeks. How many times had he seen her gussied up for some job or another? Or at the entire other end of the spectrum for that matter; totally drabbed down to fit some sleazy role or another. And yet there he stood, ogling like it was the first time he had seen her dolled up. Which of course made Ash feel good, but if he had stared any longer she probably would have swatted at him.

So when he offered his arm instead, Ash smiled, nodded and hooked her arm through his. "I am absolutely ready," she assured him with a bob of her head, and then she stepped with him through the doors. All too quickly Ash's work senses kicked in, and her gaze swept the immediate area for targets out of habit. There was potential within the walls tonight, so much potential!

But, that wasn't why they were here. No, she and Mic were here to enjoy each other's company, not to run a job. So she pulled her focus away from the room and landed it on her date instead.

"Booze first," she answered him both easily and smoothly. Oh yes, she knew his love for all things liquid courage related. "And possibly even second, then a dance." she grinned and gently tugged on his arm so that they could head for the bar. Once they were close enough and Ash managed to get the barkeep's attention, she held up two fingers, "Spicebrew please." she stated, then shifted her attention to Mic once more. "Start with something familiar, then maybe work our way up to the stuff that tastes bad." Make their tastebuds numb then try the other stuff. It was a solid enough plan in Ash's mind.
