[ the most serious face: ]

I'm a Cubs fan.

The Cubs? Really.

[He arches a brow, glances back over his shoulder at no one in particular.]

Check, please.

[But he's smiling when he looks back at her.]

Do you like baseball?

Edited 2014-09-17 12:13 (UTC)

I've lived outside of Chicago for most of my life. Home pride, you know?

[ She laughs, leaning back in her chair a little. ]

I'm not a huge fan, but I've gone to a couple games with my dad.

.... Who are the Dodgers?

[ come to think of it, what's brooklyn. ]

They're a baseball team. I really liked them.

[Steve smiles a little, brows lifting.]

Do you know much about baseball?

[ there's a blank look for a moment before korra shrugs??? ]

If... they're a team, then baseball's probably some kind of sport, right? Probably played with balls.

You got it. And there's bases, see.

[And yes, he's totally going to use the salt, the papper, the shaker of fairy dust, whatever to make bases for a visual aid.]

You hit the ball with a bat, and then you make a run for the bases before the other team gets the ball and throws it to their guy there. If you make it around all the bases, you score a point. Make sense?

[ and if there's something to be said for korra, it's that she pays very close attention when someone is explaining the finer points of a sport to her. she might not know much about baseball yet but she's already a fan. ]

How many people are on a team? Is this a non-bending sport? How many points can you score in a game? Actually, how long does the game run?

[ SPORTS!!! ]

The only sports I've ever played are pro-bending and kuai ball — this is nothing like them.

[And it's already the best date he's ever had. If only they were all so easy.]

Twenty-five on the active roster. I'm not sure what a non-bending sport means though...are you talking about gymnastics?

[But the questions keep coming ("As many runs as you can score.") and Steve tries to answer accordingly ("Nine innings.")]

Those sound like fun. How do you play them?

[ you could say they

got the hell out of dodge ]

And when the truth and manners conflict?

[His brows draw together at the question.]

You mean, would I be interested in a rude liar? No, I don't think so.

Obviously not, darling, I'm willing to believe far better of your taste than that. But some truths are an unpleasant bit of business; those with the manners to their name often keep them by keeping mum. Would you take the truth or pleasantries, if you might choose only one?

[ wait.

just. wait.

......?????????????????????????? ]

The Dodgers left Brooklyn?!

[Oh. Oh no. Oh Bucky, he never wanted you to find out this way.]

We still have the Yankees. And there's this other team now, the Mets. They're from [a little breath, please let him take this well] Queens.

[ this is the worst news. the worst thing he's heard about the future. ]

Queens. [ gross. ] Queens.

[ this. is unacceptable. if he wasn't a real gentleman, he'd be flipping this table right now. ]

Bleak place, that future of yours. [ a beat ] Where'd they go?

[Wow, this table's suddenly a lot more interesting. Look at that shine - and is it mahogany?]

Los Angeles.

[ this would be comical if it wasn't so important. because he's staring at steve like he just told him bucky survived falling off that train and came back as part soviet cyborg. ]

What.

[Well come on, this is just the first date. He has to save something for the pillow talk.]

They're the Los Angeles Dodgers now. They've won six World Series! [bright side!] And they still have that thing with the Giants. ...Who moved to San Francisco.

[He's not getting a second date, is he.]
