Francesco's and X-Men (For Riley)

[honeyandwine]

Tristan pays extra attention to detail as he dresses for his date with Riley. He doesn't want to come across overly formal, but he doesn't want to dress too casual, either. He decides upon an old favorite of his, an outfit that is both fashionable and comfortable at once.

He has a bouquet of passionflowers and a box of caramel-filled chocolates by his side as he approaches Riley's door, taking care not to breathe in any general direction of plant, the image of Val's displeasure all but burned into his mind.

Taking a deep breath, he works up the courage to ring the door bell after standing nervously before the door for a good few moments.

It takes way too long for her liking for Riley to pick an outfit that Val approves of. Her sister wants her to dress more formally, but Riley's determined to be comfortable and look a little like herself tonight. Finally she changes into something that receives Val's stamp of approval.

When they hear a knock at the door, Riley just barely beats Val, shoving her sister into her room and closing the door--a brief obstacle, but enought of one to get Riley out the door quickly. She opens the front door and rushes out, slamming the door behind her while almost running smack dab into Tristan.

"Hi. Sorry. I'm saving us from my sister," she beams up at him. "You look handsome."
