A blind date with a mysterious Dragonborn in downtown Kamakura takes an unexpected turn when Eraiōji realizes his match is even more stunning than her photos suggested. As their evening begins, neither is prepared for the powerful connection that awaits them.

Letting out a plume of smoke from his nostrils, Era waited outside the high end sushi restaurant in downtown Kamakura. Illuminated by the soft glow of neon signs, his white scales glinted under the city lights, making him a breath-taking spectacle. His antlered head tilted upwards, drinking in the crisp night air, a delightful blend of sea breeze and the mouth-watering scent of grilled fish. He was clad in a black silk suit his brother had picked for him so he'd look his best.

This was another blind date, sort of. They'd exchanged body pics but no faces yet. Clearly she wasn't scared of him being Dragonborn since after the first set she kept talking to him. But he was getting impatient.

A beep from his phone pulled him from his reverie. An incoming message from her, indicating she was nearby. He lets out a slow exhale from his nostrils, careful not to blow out steam instead. Yeah that's the last thing he needs is for her to not find him because he can't control his basic functions.

Then he saw her walking down the street towards him.

The surprise hit him like a sledgehammer.

Gods, he thought, his golden eyes widening at the sight. She's stunning.

Never had he guessed she would be this fine. From the way she moved with grace and confidence, to the radiance that seemed to glow from her.... He couldn't help staring, his usually nonchalant demeanor taken aback. His heart pounded in his chest at just the mere thought he could be holding her hand.

"Good evening," he greeted, in his deep voice, usually so flat and monotone, carrying an undertone of awe. He pushed open the door of the restaurant, "Shall we?"

He couldn't help but let his gaze linger on her as they walked, his hand resting at the small of her back as he led them to their table. Hell he even pulled out the chair for her like a true gentleman. Of course not without its perks. It was an easier way to get her scent memorized.

As they settled into their table, he found himself intrigued - genuinely so - and for a Dragonborn of his stature, that was indeed a rarity. Hope she has a personality to go with those looks.

"It's wonderful to finally meet you," he begins, folding his hands together on the table top. Please be fucking real.
