Between her constantly changing work schedule and just straight up anxiety, Caterina had been putting off her date with Vatar. It had been a while since they had met at that party at the community center, but finally she called his number and they set up a date. She was nearly 400 years old, and had never been on a date. It really was about time to try, wasn’t it?

Caterina fidgeted and messed with her phone as she waited outside of the museum for Vatar to come. She wore a light blue dress—a flowing chiffon skirt and a lacy bodice with beading that looked like ice—with a white sweater over it. Her hair was done in her two usual braids, and shining blue eye makeup. What it too elaborate for a date? Not enough?? She had no idea.

Caterina took a long, deep breath as she glanced up from her phone. He should be arriving soon...and it would go fine, right?

A tentacle formed from the palm of her hand and made her drop her phone. A sign of her anxiety.

"Please stop..." Caterina muttered as she went to pick up the phone with her other hand.

Vatar was strolling down the street with a casual pace and his hair flowing down his neck a bit. Normally he would let his hair flow down his neck and show off it's beauty to the world,but today was different. Today he had Illiya tie his braid into a long braid which do to him having not trimmed it went down to his upper back. He wanted to look nice for his date,and having hair in face was not a fun time. It took him a lot to get this date set up...if you could even call it a date. Was it a date? He had just offered to get coffee and help around the museum. Plus he had no clue what Caterina was wearing.Normally the girl's attire gave a good indication on the importance of the meeting. He was a lone solider going in with no intel.

All this did was build up some anxiety in him and make Vatar reach to ruffle his hair. It was a nervous habit of his. Whenever he was deep in thought or uncomfortable his hands just wandered his head. When his hands landed he was met only with the tied back braid which honestly pissed him off a bit. As a back up he went over to his attire to assure himself he didn't look bad.

He had on a black white striped button up with grey cargo pants. It seemed decent enough right? As he crossed the street a view of the museum came up. Standing in front of it was his company for the evening. A strange feeling hit Vatar. He usually felt calm and collected 99% of the time,but the beauty in front of the library shocked him a bit from the woman he had saw at the party. Caterina looked stunning...well beyond stunning. She easily one upped him and his poor attempt a looking decent. As he approached her he gripped the coffee tray in his hand tighter before speaking. "You look amazing." Those were his first in only words taking in the elaborate dress.

Caterina was blushing blue right away, looking down at the ground as Vatar complimented her.

"Th-thank you, Vatar. I was worried it might be too much!"

She smiled, and gestured for him to come into the museum with her, guiding him to the historical documents area. It was dead silent in the museum without patrons roaming around. The silence made her painfully aware of her own nerves, and the fact that the Banyoles Monster wanted to unleash its tentacles. Please, no. Please don't make her look totally bizarre in front of him anymore than they already have...

She took Vatar over to a table with many stacks of papers. They were all yellowed with age.

"This has been my current project for a while now..." Caterina began to explain.

"I need them sorted by date first. Then later I will go through and read them all and document the subject of each one."

She smiled, sheepish.

"I know, it is not the most interesting thing, but...if you could just help me sort them by date, that would be very helpful."
