What: May catch-all! Venom's now working at the Sanctuary and adjusting to his new life in the light. Plus a big talk with the Ace Attorney.
When: Throughout May
Where: The Sanctuary and surrounding areas
Warning(s): None so far!

A. The Sanctuary

[Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Fraser and Dr. Watson, Venom's expanded his knowledge on anatomy, first aid, and some level of bedside manner. He furthered his training through field work, reading books, studying potions and salves to an extent, and finally learning his first healing spells. He'd come a long way from being an assassin and knowing only how to treat the most fleeting of wounds. It's almost like he's a proper healer now, hence his decision to change jobs.

Meaning it's time for him to step out of the shadows.

He went through hell and back trying to do the same for the Guild, but to do it for himself is weird. Though he had planned on telling 2cave that he was going to protect the town before the storm hit. Maybe he's taking the steps to do that in his new home. Or maybe he's just overthinking everything again as he's organizing books and herbs for the more experienced healers.

For those who know Venom, his hair's tied back, save for his bangs.]

Pardon me, but I'm rather new here. Would these dried petals go with the dried herbs or elsewhere?

B. Tea Break - somewhere outside

[Between organizing and restocking supplies, Venom catches a breather. He'll be outside by a large tree, having the tea he packed along with a light lunch of fruit and cheeses. And by light he means a healthy wedge of the Olympian equivalent to brie. Maybe if someone drops by he'll share it with them!]

C. Wildcard

[Dealer's choice here! Maybe spot him helping with cleaning, or possibly lending a hand in the kitchen. Anything to help him prove his worth at his new job.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Thankfully Phoenix knew just what to do with that sort of awkward response. HIs smile not dropping as he reached over to his plate of snacks, picking up a small cookie and chewing on it slightly.]

I suppose then if we're now dating, the next question would be 'when would you like for us to go on our first date' right?

Whenever it may be you're next willing, I want to make sure to make it something nice.

[If he was going to try and figure out situations of the heart, he was going to at least make sure that he could romance his potential partners right!]

[Venom did not expect to wind down the conversation like this. When would be a good time for them to have their "first" date?]

How does a week sound? It should give us both enough time to prepare as needed.

[He's already thinking of a few places they could go to make it nice, too. Maybe that intimate seafood place by Flona cove...]

A week sounds good to me. And now that it's getting warmer out again I wouldn't mind a trip to the beach.

[To think it's been quite a few months since he had last been to the beach. Not since Athena had been here...]

Actually the more I think about it the more it sounds like fun! Maybe we should just get a hotel room and stay the weekend.

Nice food... Relaxing baths... Just me and you.

[Wow... He was genuinely looking forward to such a thought.]

[It definitely sounds more appealing when Phoenix puts it that way. An entire weekend dedicated to a single date, and it's not like they have to do anything. They can enjoy each other's company.

In a bathtub. Or cuddling on the beach.]

I'll do some research in the area, see which hotels offer the desired amenities. And I'll have to find some swim trunks, as well...

[That's right. The attorney gets to see Venom's full body in broad daylight.]

Ah, now that does sound nice. Last time I was out there I had spent most of my time at the beach. But sitting on the sand in the sun again really does sound nice.

[As long as he didn't have to get stuck wearing those stupid swim trunks again. Now that he thought back on it, he really had come a long way since when he arrived in El Nysa. Back when he trying to make ends meet with every odd-job he could find.]

Well then, I suppose I should start saving up huh? And I suppose I have to go request the days off... Man, the more I think about it the more I look forward to it.

[A vacation huh? A really genuine weekend vacation with just Venom. It was really something that he felt like the two of them needed.]

You and me both, honestly.

[Just a quiet weekend to themselves on the beach. Does it still qualify as a date? Venom doesn't seem to dwell much on it as he gets up.]

I should head out soon. This meeting lasted longer than expected. Not that it's a terrible thing.

[Venom leans down to give Phoenix a feather-light kiss on the cheek.]

[Chuckling lightly, Pheonix wouldn't help but playfully wince a little as Venom leaned in to give him a kiss. Only to just as quickly return the affection, kissing Venoms cheek back with both speed and stealth, unable to help but enjoy the scent of the other man as he lingered close to him.]

All right. I can't wait to hear back from you about all this. The moment you've got that weekend set I'll immediately request time off.

[Ah.

Well, that ended way more amiably than expected. If anything, the whole conversation felt outright domestic. What a nice way to end things off with Venom.]

See you soon? ♥

[The returned kiss has Venom's cheeks becoming warm. He straightens, walking towards the door.]

Certainly. Enjoy the rest of your day, Nick.

[He departs, feeling accomplished and determined. He's glad their discussion was fruitful and Phoenix didn't hate him. Now they can move forward and possibly build something more between them.]
