[ Mick hadn't been trying to avoid it, exactly, but the idea of a spa day doesn't really sound like his kind of thing. He'd much rather spend a quiet day writing or just taking in some sun than putting food on his face or putting mud on himself or anything like that.
Still, for the short time they've known each other, Zari's really picked up on what he does like. He's about to make an excuse so that he can get back to writing, but he's barely got his mouth open before he's stopped shot. ]
Sandwiches? Why didn't you say so?
[ He reaches for the bags and kicks some of the clutter on his floor out of the way. It's mostly crumpled pieces of paper and other writing debris, anyway. ]
[ Well, that's what she's there for, isn't it? Ready to introduce him to the joy and wonder that is self-care. Mick has a routine, and Zari can respect that to a certain extent but she would be remiss to let a fellow business person and world-renown author fall into a creative rut because they couldn't take a bit of time for themselves. ]
Uh, I just did. And I wasn't sure which ones were your favorite so I picked up from five or six different shops in D.C.
[ Clutter kicked aside, she offer a couple of the bags with a smile and heads in after him. The door closes but she still looks around conspiratorially, voice low as she whispers ]
I may have splurged on junk food as well. [ A wink. ] But that's our secret.
[ Several sandwiches and even more snacks? Mick would keep a lot of secrets for the kind of affection that evokes out of him. ]
Best kind of food there is.
[ He puts everything down on the side of his desk and goes to clear some space for them to sit. The room's pretty cluttered, but if she's going to show up bearing gifts, he doesn't mind making room for them and her. ]
What else do we do on a spa date?
[ Genuinely curious now, because if they're going to eat good snacks and sandwiches, then maybe this could actually be a little fun, especially with Zari. It's almost shocking how easy it is to be around her. Mick wouldn't have expected it, considering how particular she seems on the surface, but it hadn't been hard to pick up on the fact that she's smarter than she acts and he can relate to that. ]
[ She may have even brought beer, but he looks like he's about to fall over from joy or high cholesterol at any second so she'll just steal a table and start pulling everything out. He'll notice eventually.
Zari smiles, giving a little curtsy and figuring it's best to begin with the food. What better way to relax than with a full stomach? ]
First, we eat. [ You're special, Mick. She doesn't indulge like this. Ever. Donuts are like a big no-no. She'll be working out so much after this. ] But after I have exfoliants, face masks, nail polish but that can just be for me if you're not up for an adventure. No judgement. And---[ She has to rifle through a bag set next to her to hide its contents cause she's excited and she hopes he is too as she brings out a very expensive looking container. ]---this!
You want Fabio locks, then you get Fabio locks. This is the way.
[ Okay Mick doesn't know what an exfoliant is and the face mask had seemed like a given from every movie he's ever seen with a spa scene in it. Nail polish is a no for him, but oh the hair looks fun!
He grins when he sees the container. ]
I could be on the cover of my own novels with that hair.
[ Buck! Mick wouldn't mind a little dress up, even if he knows that whatever she wears will look at least slightly better. It's not her fault that she's pretty. ]
I'm not painting my nails, but I can paint yours. My partner's sister used to make me, but that stays between us.
[ Make is a strong word, but suggestions from Lisa Snart tend to be strong. ]
[ Don't worry, big guy, she'll teach you. Mick'll be glowing in no time. She can live without him indulging in his punk rock vibe side and his grin at her container is really what she came for here. A little shimmy of her shoulders follows. ]
You totally could. I know a great photographer when you're ready, they owe me. But, until then, we have this and if you're feeling adventurous, we could explore wigs.
[ He's done it now. Accessorizing is imminent but spa day first. And he doesn't give his looks near enough credit as he should but that's a battle for another day. A little gasp at the mention of him doing her nails. ]
Really? Oh, I won't tell. I am the Fort Knox of secrets. [ Then conspiratorially: ] Does this mean we get to gab about all the drama that goes on around here because that's a primo bonding opportunity.
