Once the clock hits 5:00pm, Derek is out of the lab and in his car heading home to take a shower and get ready for his date with Lillian. He gets home, showers, gels his hair, and changes into presentable date clothing. Once satisfied with his appearence, he grabs his jacket and drives to Sweet Stems and picks up the dozen yellow daffodils he ordered for the day. Bouquet in the front passenger seat Derek pulls out his phone and texts Lillian.

So, I'm on my way. I'll be there in 30 minutes.

Pushing "send" he starts his car and starts driving over in the direction of the university.

I am! [She admitted as she sat down to tug her own shoes off and pull the skates on, tapping the blades against the rubber floor to make sure they were tight.]

I love skating. I ain't great at it, Angela got all the talent there, but there's a lot to be said for just having fun an' fallin' on my ass a few times.

[Derek finishes lacing up his skates and stands.]

Well, let see who is going to fall first.

[Derek makes is way over to the entrance of the rink. With a hand on either side of the opening, Derek uses the walls to push him self off and glide onto the rink. He turns around to Lillian and calls out to her.]

So far so good. [Referring to the fact that he hasn't fallen yet.] You coming?

[aintjustaweapon]

[She wobbled a bit as she tested the skates, plodding over to the wall finally and then stepping out onto it.]

Yeah, yeah, hold your horses!

[She said, laughing, as she pushed out onto the rink, sliding towards him...and then clealry not remembering how to stop.]

Uh oh!

[Grabbing at him to keep from falling. Hopefully he was steadier than her.]

[blondferret]

[Derek grins when Lillian gets onto the ice and starts sliding towards him. Though his smiles soon goes slack and his eyebrows raise a bit in surprise when it it obvious that she isn't going to stop. Derek reaches out to grab Lillian's upper arms.]

Don't worry I got you.

[Derek digs the sides of his skates into the ice to keep him in place and holds Lillian steady. Derek lets out a chuckle once they are both still.]

Are you really going to fall for me that quickly? The date has barely started.
