Business or Pleasure [Candice, Giselle]

Giselle smirked softly and raised a brow, not entirely sure how earnest that was. But Candy seemed earnest enough in the compliment so she took it gladly with a pinch of salt.

Hmmm she did have a good point. Carrying it around would be a bit annoying. ”Fair enough. We can just swing by my place for a bit. I have an apartment in the City. If you like we can both change there before we head out. Cant have you carrying your clothes around either! So we’ll head out and then once we’re done for the night we can swing back to my place. Easy peasy.” she chimed, assuming that Candice already had some sort of lodgings in the city. It would be simple enough to have her pick up her stuff before heading to her hotel.

All the same it wouldn’t take long for Giselle to start leading the way. It wasnt a particularly long trip.

Giselle smirked just a little as she watched Candice rushing to join her, chuckling softly and letting her head cant to the side as she watched the woman move excitedly alongside her, again enamored with the rather bouncy energy the woman had in the midst of the entire situation. Honestly the negative aspects of her ....pouting really didnm't bother her in the slightest, having lived long enough to meet plenty of other detestable individuals whose pitfalls made her own little quirks seem like nothing. Though.... she supposed if she was being honest, there were other....interesting things about the woman.

All the same it was not long before they made their way to the apartment complex that Gigi lived in. Well.... when she wasn't in the barracks. Truth be told she just enjoyed having a spot off base. Making her way up to the second floor with Candice in tow, she promptly peeled her key from her pocket and opened her door! "Alright here we go! Welcome to Casa del Giselle~" She chimed!
The place was filled with....well a LOT of stuff! Old paintings, an old projector? VHS players? Tapes? There was even an old record player! There was just a TREMENDOUS amount of old stuff! Along with that there were some old, rather expensive looking bits of furniture about. Things Giselle had collected over the years. Hardly her whole stash, but just a few things. All the same, the place was VERY homey. Giselle made her way over to the couch. It was a decent apartment. One big livingroom with a kitchen off to the side, and a stairway that led up to an upper loft that served as Giselle's room with the bathroom door just beside the staircase.

Giselle gestured around and made her way up to the loft bedroom as she called over her shoulder. "Feel free to get changed and just stash your stuff wherever!" She noted out with a pleased smile, promptly starting to undress once she was up there, starting to excitedly change into her new outfit as she did!

Giselle seemed to not even notice Candice’s surprise at her lodgings. It wasn’t anything special to her after all so when she came back downstairs all dolled up with her hair up she was a little surprised when Candice asked her about her stuff and how she wound up here.

”Curious already and we gaven’t even started drinking.~ This is just some stuff I’ve picked up over the years and this place was just somewhere I got to keep my stuff. Not exactly the kinda things you wanna bring into the barracks.” she explained, getting her Handbag and then paysing to eye Candice up and down, smirking.

”We might have to go a little rotzier than Id intended the way youre dressed up~ Ready to go?”

Giselle paused for a moment when Candice brought that up and put on a bit of a smirk. "I mean yea they are." She noted with an amused chuckle towards the blonde. As if it were no big deal. And happily enough it seemed Candice was more than happy to redirect her thoughts toward the evening ahead of them. Something that caused Giselle to smile just a bit wider, more deeply. She'd probably have to come up with something later. But truth be told, she may very well just tell the woman the truth. Maybe? Possibly. Hmmm. She'd have to think it over. Buuuuuuut in the meantime~

She managed to catch Candice inspecting her once again and an amused smirk crawled across her lips as she turned and did a little pose. Encouraging the woman without verbally bringing it up. At this point she could silently tease the woman without having to voice the subject. The pose alone was something that said 'enjoying the view?'.

All the same it didn't take TOO long for Giselle to head on out. Locking her door behind her she soon was leading the woman out into the night. A pause just a moment as they stepped out into the cooling night air to look around. A question vaguely floating through her mind Hm. No she doubted she'd have to worry about that. A monster like her never worried about THAT stuff. She grinned a little to herself as she began to lead the way. They made it clean past the shopping district and out towards the section that was starting to come alive in the night. It wasn't called the city of lights for nothing. While many saw the Vandenreich as strict and stringent. That didn't mean that they railed against a good time.

For all intents and purposes, it was a sortof...upscale club bar. As they made their way into the place, the sounds of music promptly filled the air. A place saturated with people. Some dancing, some just having a good time, and of course the little peppered hunting zones where citizens and visitors to the city alike did what anyone did in a world where stuff was so fucked up: Hunted for an attractive face. Giselle actually had to pause for a moment and wrinkle her nose. She'd never actually BEEN to one such place in real life before. It was much lesss.......boppy than the movies made them seem. But all the same, she shrugged and reached up, tucking her hair behind her ear and giving a smile to Candice over her shoulder. "Not exactly the Pension Fund Events you may be used to but they serve good drinks." She assumed. She'd heard some praise from some coworkers.

"What would you like to do first?" She asked, oh so smoothly giving the illusion of letting Candice take the reigns, when in actuality she was just compensating for having no godly idea what they should head to from here. Oh god what the fuck were they doing on the dance floor. Was that....what were they doing with their asses? Why were they GRINDING on eachother?! She was hit with a HARD yearning for the old days. What ever happened to ballroom dancing? Humans were so disgusting. But she swallowed the bile and put on a happy face. She had company to entertain after all.

Giselle snorted and smiled just a little at Candice's little comment. She tilted her head, a bit amused at the idea of a trendy company girl like Candice winding up in a place like this instead of like.....actually huh she had no idea where she expected her to wind up. Even so, she giggled a bit at the idea, and broke into a bit of a surprised chuckle when she felt that little spark on contact as the woman grabbed her hand and started pulling her along!

When they finally made it to the bar, Gigi gave a slightly raised brow when she realized they had beelined for the bar and Candice ordered a full-ass bottle of alcohol! And then a booth for them to head to! She paused, tilting her head just a little and smiling as she gently firmed her grip on the other woman's hand. Letting her taller more assertive companion run things. She DID notice the looks they got, and the little dance of gazes between the two of them. She vaguely wondered what it looked like to outsiders. But that was a wondering that didn't last for too long as she found herself and Candice being directed toward a private booth.

Before she knew it, she and her companion were seated and Giselle adjusted herself a bit, having been a bit scuffed about being pulled through the crowd. "Wow you really know how to work your way around a crowd huh Candy? Buuuut I gotta say. If you wanted to just hang out with me and drink we could have just done that at my house." She noted with a sly smile, pausing as she peeked to her right and looked out to the masses of people out there. Not really her usual scene. Despite what she said there was something.....interesting.... about being out and about ... and seen with this woman. How freely they associated with her. Not that Giselle had given her much reason to do otherwise but even so, they came from very different places. It was almost surreal.

She found herself glancing back to Candice herself. Stunningly dressed. All lit up and focused on HER and their little booth. While Giselle was dealing with taking it all in, Candice seemed....solely focused on her. It ..... was an interesting feeling to be sure. As if to interrupt her thoughts, their bottle of Champagne arrived in that moment and Giselle smiled. THIS at least she could handle. It didn't take her long to sit up and promptly eye the bottle. It WAS pretty nice. 2250, Canadian Grape. She didn't recognize the name, but it definitely seemed to fit the bill.

Deftly, she prepared herself to open the bottle, and once they were all set, she'd pop the cork and pour the both of them full glasses, showing a rather strange skillfulness in the task. While not immune, she had a pretty high tolerance for alcohol. She was easy to get buzzed, but incredibly hard to get full smashed or blackout drunk. Not that it wasn't fun to try now and then. So back in her OLD Vnadenreich days, she'd been the designated sober of her little gal group. Which meant a lot of practice pouring drinks.

All the same, she'd glance back up at Candice, taking her own glass. "So, if you don't mind me asking. Now that we're here, ready to get have a fun night of questionable decisions. Why exactly ARE you in town? Just curious." She decided to initiate a bit of conversation while Candice was still lucid.
