"You feeling alright?" He asked Levi as he began checking for the patient's vitals and routine-like steps while his partner prepared the oxygen tank and mask. Will checked the patient's eyes and nodded at Levi's explanation. "Yeah, the wind will do that. It's nothing to worry about." Despite how gloomy the day was, the paramedic offered the patient a warm smile, comforting, even. Then he looked back at Levi. "We will need a few minutes to stabilize them, but it may be a good idea to bring them to the hospital, all things considered."

“— Me? Honestly, I'm more concerned with how you guys are.” Those types of inquiries not his strong suit regardless. “I mean, I think so...it doesn’t look like I was out in smoke for long, does it?” Levi’s expression briefly grimaced, though a relief settles instead hearing the paramedic state the wind’s contribution was a rather normal occurrence. Even better, it seemed the individual would turn out alright. “Sure, take the time you need." He nods, footing back a few steps for their space just in case. "I can call another ambulance to pick them up?" Would maybe save Will's team a hospital detour.

Initially, she thought it would take a couple more weeks for them to either rekindle their relationship or get some closure to move on. They both had been dragging their feet about it since Christmas. Naturally, she wanted the former, and was relieved that Levi wanted the same. 

To say that Jasiri was looking forward to tonight would be an understatement. Last week she went shopping with Iyana and found the perfect ensemble for Valentine’s festivities. The date didn’t have to be perfect or grand, but she knows who she’s dealing with. If Jasiri was a gambler, she would bet it all on Levi going above and beyond with the plans he’s made for tonight. Even when they were secretly an item he did his best to make things special within the confines of their limitations. 

Jasiri looked up from her menu when Levi spoke, his grin inspired a smile of her own. “As corny as this sounds, I’m already happy just being out with you.” There should be no underestimating how much she enjoys the simple pleasure of sharing his company. “I didn’t expect to like Sedona as much as I have,” she admitted. Aside from avoiding the conversation they had earlier, seeing more of this town influenced her trip’s extension. “I’ve always lived in big cities, so this is different, but the good kind,” she muses. “I am both nervous and excited for this move. You always get me to do the unexpected– such a bad influence,” she teased before dipping her gaze to study the menu again. “This all looks so good, do you know what you’re ordering?”

Shielding himself by way of avoidance wouldn't save anything this time. In reality, that only delayed an inevitable conversation looming between them. What they'd expressed already during breakfast earlier crashed through the surface, providing new ground to stand on. Already a long time coming on his closed-off part that she broke through.

The firm lines making up Levi’s expression were already softening at the admission, a direct reflex that found itself occurring around the easy charisma she naturally possessed. “No, that’s not corny at all.” With an amused shake of his head, a light breath of a laugh escapes him. “There will be a lot more of that now.” She’d upheld enough patience hiding away before, which was still hardly fair even then. “You know, you sound a lot like someone I know when they first got here..” A hinted smirk curves the corner of his mouth, one that didn’t reach completely reach behind his deep blues. That isolation had struck a different kind of nerve.

Her teasing accusation instigated Levi's broad shoulders leaning forward slightly further. "A terrible influence.." His tone drops to a lower rasp, holding the glint sparkling within Jasiri's eyes. "And I know what I want." He only readily remembers the menu once she resumed attention on hers. "Some of the best around." No less of course. "They're known for their steak options, but get anything you want." An insistence. "I was serious, you know, if you did need anything more with the move.."

“Yes, the tentative list starts on the second-to-last page,” he informs Levi, while gesturing to the document still in the other’s hand. Darius’ enthusiasm grew the more they discussed the idea. “I do have more to add, but this is just a preliminary thing, you will of course have input on this project.” Naturally, it wouldn’t make sense for the venture to proceed without it. The names on the document would be enough to show that the interest is there.

“There’s also another list like that for another venture with your name on it,” he might as well strike while the iron is hot as they say. “In fact, that’s an understatement,” Darius picks up the other folder that he had set down on the coffee table. “This one is inspired by you actually,” he admits with a grin. “No youth this time, it’s adult-centered for those who think that they can beat a pro-golfer. This challenge could work in multiple scenarios– for charity, auction prize, you know, anything along those lines.”

While another full folder came his way, this was beyond what he could’ve expected from the City Hall meeting. A momentary beat passed while he let Darius complete the pitch’s entirety first and foremost before finally lifting his gaze from the paperwork stash held within his possession. “— Well, got to give the people what they want, don't we?” A slight smirk ghosts the curve of his mouth. "I mean, you did all this work.." A hand gestures back in sheer appreciation to the opened folder contents. "Coming up with not one, but two of these ventures revolving around me. You'll have to be repaid somehow."

Elliott: I'm just now getting to this, sorry, told you I was bad at texting. Elliott: Did you manage to get everything you needed? Elliott: I can come by if not.
