WHO: Eli and Thrawn
WHERE: Various places on Risa
WHAT: Eli asks Thrawn out on a date.
WHEN: Current
WARNINGS: PG 13 will update if necessary.

Eli was thrilled that Thrawn was back. What better way to find his partner on a vacation planet. Now they could properly spend time together and go on a date. They didn't have to worry about military protocol or anyone discovering their fraternization. Nor did they have to worry about dealing with ancient supplies and methods as they had back in Agra 10. It was nice to be in a planet with stuff he was used to using.

He wrapped his hand around Thrawn's as they walked along the streets,every so often Eli would stop to look at a place that caught his attention or Thrawn's. They had some time before they were due to arrive at a restaurant, Eli had made reservations for. He had told it was one of the best places to eat and it seemed to have food that both him and Thrawn could eat.

Eli made a face at the pair of sunglasses and tried hard to not laugh. "No, those are meant to be for fun....if we want something practical and not too outlandish...."

Eli moved to study the rack of sunglasses and picked out a simple pair that would do the job well for Thrawn. He held them out for Thrawn to try.

"I have seen something similar on others."

Thrawn was talking about the starfish-shaped lenses that were popular on Risa. Well, popular among those that are vacationing when tacky glasses are worn for fun. Thrawn lacked the fashion sense to know they were tacky to begin with, but he traded stars out for offered lenses.

"Well....I suppose we can do this." Eli thought with a grin on his face. As he moved to purchased the clothing and sunglasses he picked up two sets of the starfish shaped sunglasses.

"Nothing wrong with having some fun?"

Thrawn frowned in confusion as they were leaving the shop. Hadn't Eli said they were impractical?

"Why did you purchase two sets of them?"

[thrawnsaide]

"They might not be practical or fashionable...but they're fun. That's why a lot of the people here are wearing them. They're on vacation and want to have fun."

Eli explained as he handed Thrawn a pair to wear as he placed his on. "So why not have fun like the rest of them?"

Thrawn wasn't sure how something impractical was 'fun', but he dutifully put on his pair of starfish glasses to shield his eyes from the sun as they both emerged from the shop.

Eli's smile broadened as he saw Thrawn place his glasses on. The simple notion behind it meant a lot to him. It was rare to see his admiral make an attempt to relax and enjoy himself. He wanted to get a picture of the two of them together wearing the glasses later. Hopefully Thrawn would agree to it.

Thrawn wouldn't seem to make many attempts to relax was because he didn't see much difference between what was usually considered 'work' and what wasn't. On the other hand, he would often be working on several projects at once and there wasn't any free time to fill anyway.

It's after a few minutes of being in the sun that Thrawn's steps start to slow and his skin has warmed to something that's nearly human body temperature.
