Anthony nods and leans back, allowing Sue to nestle against him. He falls into a meditative state, giving his mind and body a rest, but remaining aware of his surroundings. As the hours pass by, his chest continues to rise and fall in perfect unison with his slow, methodical breathing.
(Alright Dizzy and Caits, your turn.)

Anthony smiles as Sue tells him about herself, then chuckles as she chugs the wine. He signs, "Wine is meant to be sipped" While gazing at the stars, Anthony feels Sue shiver as she leans against him. He slips his suit jacket off and drapes it across her, then wraps his arm around her, drawing her close. Anthony kisses the top of her head gently and whispers, "Would you like to know what I enjoy most about you? It's not your brains, looks, or sense of humor, although I love those about you. My favourite thing is your passion. Everything you do, you do wholeheartedly, with nothing held back. It's delightfully refreshing in a world populated by beings that either have ulterior motives or don't have the guts to put everything on the line."
I'm tired of waiting, so I'm going to go ahead and progress the story in a little bit.
Alright, I'm home and working on a post.
(It'll be thirty minutes at most before I can post)
Anthony chuckles at Sue's grimace and says, "I suppose it's an acquired taste." He pauses for a moment then responds, "I love knowing the way people think, what makes them tick, I suppose. I hate it when people with super powers look down on or ignore 'normal' humans like me. I'd much rather have knowledge than physical strength because if you know enough, you can substitute technology for brawn, but not vice versa." He eats a few bites and takes a sip of wine then asks, "Enough about me, however. Tell me about yourself."
If the dates that are going on right now aren't done by the time I'm ready to go to sleep tonight, I'm starting the next day.
Ben nods slowly then replies, "Alright then. I want to continue being your friend, but you must know something. If you hurt anyone that doesn't deserve it, you'll have to answer to me." He yawns, then says, "I'm going to go to bed. Good night."
Anthony lights two lanterns and sets them at the edge of the clearing to provide a little more light without detracting from the beauty of the stars. He pours Sue a glass of the wine before answering, "I've never been overly proficient in just telling about myself. I'll tell you a little about my life before the Academy, but if you'd like to know anything else, you'll have to ask." Anthony makes Sue a plate of food as he continues, "My mother died shortly after I was born, so my father handled most of the decisions concerning my upbringing. He ensured that I received top of the line education with an emphasis of the major empires and societies of history. Along with learning a great deal of world history, I was taught to the benefit of being multilingual, so I taught myself the Romance languages. I graduated from Yale at the age of eighteen with a Doctor of Psychology degree. After that, I spent a year in various South American countries, especially Argentina, simply enjoying the vastly different cultures. For the next two years I built a real estate business, along with various other business ventures." He begins to eat some of the appetizers that he had made for Sue earlier while waiting for the questions to begin.

Anthony laughs, "As you wish." He puts some plates, utensils, and glasses in the basket, then says, "De cette façon, madame." He leads Sue to the top of the hill that houses his lab and begins to set up the picnic.
(This way madame.)
Ben tilts his head and asks, "I'm a pretty friendly person, will that counteract the programming at all? Like maybe by making you less aggressive?"
