"Sounds perfect." Hawke grinned, giving a happy sigh. "Prepackaged food. I swear, if I ever do return to Thedas, I'll make a fortune simply by selling hot lunch plates and already-prepared food. Marvelous idea, whatever saint happened to think of it."
He fetched his keys, stuffing them into the front pocket of his jeans - wonderful fabric, denim. And the wonderful saleslady had done her work well for the bewildered transplant she'd been asked to outfit (Mister Livingston's dime, of course); all of Hawke's clothes fit him perfectly. One less thing to worry over, in the mage's view.
And he couldn't help but ask as they headed for the door and the great outdoors, "Are you sure your princess will be acceptable of you being gone all afternoon?" A smirk followed. "She and I may squabble when it comes to sharing your time, my dear Bucky."
"Great." He hasn't done this in a long time, so he's a little nervous about how well this date will go. The other night was real good, but spontaneous. This is a more planned thing and- yeah, he's definitely overthinking it. "I think you can order customized sandwiches there too, so that's always great. But yeah- everything's more convenient these days."
Rowen does look really nice- even without laces. Bucky can't imagine anything that wouldn't look good on him though.
"I left her with water and probably too much food- and toys to play with for hours. I think she wanted me to come spend time with you anyway though." She's the one who bullied him into calling twice, after all. But he does smile. "If it were anyone else she might have an issue, though."
Hawke laughed as he closed the door behind them. "Did she? Well, give her an extra kiss for me, then. I'm in her debt." A mischievous little wink, and then it was down the stairs and out into the gorgeous New York sunshine.
The mage let the soldier lead the way, following along amiably. This was Bucky's city, after all. They ordered a mountain of food at the sandwich shop; each carried a top-filled bag of goodies as they headed to the park.
"This place reminds me so much of home," Hawke mused as they casually strolled through the grounds. "Grass, trees, the occasional rabid fox," (a jest; he'd seen nothing of the sort since he'd arrived here). "Granted, Kirkwall looked much like the rest of the city," a sweeping gesture indicated the metal of New York, not far away, "but Ferelden was very much like this...green and beautiful."
"I'll give her extra kisses and cuddles, all from you," he smiles, also glad to be out and about today, instead of just holed up at his place. It really is a gorgeous day.
With their food in hand, Bucky leads them to the park. It's easy to wander and get lost here, but it never matters. There's always something beautiful to see, whether it's the turtle pond, the great lawn or Belvederes castle, all among the greenery, they can walk around till they find a good spot to settle into and eat.
"It's does feel a little like a whole different world, compared to all the hustle and bustle out there." Hey, Rowen jokes, but he knows there's the occasional rabid raccoon out here. "You must miss it a lot. I'm glad you have a place here that reminds you of home."
