While Callisto spoke he couldn’t help but figure she would say something like that. She was the logical one, the one to lay all the facts out even if they didn’t need to be laid out. “Of all the people in the world I didn’t expect you to be such a bold liar. That or other people just have terrible opinions on beauty.” Shawn wasn’t so much just making a joke as he was trying to assure her on how beautiful she was. Of course she probably didn’t need it but he wasn’t one to let that stop him. “No, the only people who know what I think are you, me and the diary I keep under my bed.” The last one was joke obviously, at least to him it was obvious he wouldn’t have one. Not at this age.
It was only a little disappointing to hear she wouldn’t end up being his healer if it was anything besides spell damage. Sure it was a made up scenario but still it was a little reassuring to know he would at least know the healer if he got hurt. Shawn just laughed as Callisto commented about the other healer he might get being more stunning than her. Callisto added she would have to blindfold him if that was the case and Shawn just laughed more. “There’s no need for that as there’s no one more stunning than you." Shawn just smiled toward her in another serious moment before continuing. “Unless you were being literal because I’m sure there are plenty of people I annoyed at school. People that might have become healers that would love an excuse to stun me.”
Callisto explained how he would have to wait two nights till she would bail him out of jail. Still that wasn’t that bad for someone she had just started dating even if this was all a mock situation. Shawn was torn between wanting to say something and not wanting to interrupt where she was going with all this. It was obviously just her joking around but it was getting more and more interesting the more Callisto went on. He just smirked slightly as it seemed she was done explaining for now. “No, please keep going. I want to know what happens next.” Shawn teased for a moment as all this didn’t sound in any way bad to him. “I thought you were trying to make going to jail sound bad? All this is doing is encouraging me to go out and get arrested as soon as possible.”

He said that others opinions of beauty were terrible, and she was going to argue that he couldn't say someone else's opinion was terrible because opinions were subjective. But she chose not to bother him with that. Then he went on, making a joke about a diary and her eyebrow raised higher than ever. "A diary is not a person, Shawn." she corrected him. That much logic she could fight against. "Though, if such a diary existed, I wouldn't blame you. It's good to write things down, to remember them and all," she said slowly, trying to not hint that she wrote things down when she made the time.
His laugh was full and honest, and Callisto liked that sound m he said there was no need for a blindfold, due to no one being more stunning than her. Her mind honestly flickered to some other healers she knew but she pushed thoughts of them aside. She wasn't self conscious, not really. Then he added thr thought of her being literally and she rolled her eyes, "they wouldn't stun you. Well... Not while on duty," she added. "Or if you were misbehaving. Okay, it might happen," she deducted.
As she rambled about his whole jail situation Callisto saw that smirk adorn his face and knew she had been talking strangely. He told her to keep going and she felt her cheeks burning insanely, to the point that she looked back at the paintings. After a moment she looked back at him, the flush in her cheeks having calmed down. "How about we do the cosy part sometime without the jail part?" that seemed a fair enough plan.

Callisto corrected him by telling him a diary wasn’t a person and Shawn just laughed. “You’re right. Well I don’t want to be a liar when I said I told three people, guess I should go tell Mina.” Shawn teased for a moment, it wasn’t like he had much time to talk to Mina yet anyway. It was awkward greetings and explaining why he was helping her sister home. Mina did seem to enjoy that Callisto had to be escorted home because she was drunk. To be fair he didn’t mind it one bit either, in fact the only one who seemed to dislike it was Callisto herself. “Are you implying you have one?” He doubted that’s what was going on but it wasn't going to stop him from saying something about it. “Am I in it? I want to know what it says if I am.”
“I’ll keep that in mind. Watch my back for healers off duty.” Shawn teased for a moment. “As for misbehaving I’m almost offended. I’ve never misbehaved in my life.” That was terrible lie but he wasn’t being serious obviously. No one but a complete stranger would have believed that about him anyway. "Luckily if I do get stunned it’s spell damage and I know a specialist.” He added with a wink toward Callisto.
It was cute how she realized what she was saying when he told her to keep going, or she just realized she wasn’t making much sense. No, to him she was making perfect sense but he also knew that wasn’t what she was implying at all. She finally looked back to him saying they could do the cozy part without him having to go to jail. “Do I still get locked up at your place? I mean it might involve some explaining to Mina but I’m intrigued to say the least.” He’d let this go after this final joke but it was cute how she was reacting after all and he didn’t mind the cozy part one bit.

Callisto rolled her eyes as he laughed, then said that he was a liar about telling three people - but then said he should tell Mina. Callistos eyes widened, and then narrowed, "I don't like you two being all friendly. It'll be the death of me," she said. But, in all reality... she really couldn't hope for anything better than her romantic interest getting along well with her sister. If anything, Shawn could be a good example to her. Maybe, if Callisto didn't blow it, Shawn and Cal could be a good example to Mina... maybe. He called her out on her comment about a diary, asking if she was implying that she had one. She shrugged, "I have notes and things. None about you," she said firmly. Well, that wasn't entirely true... "Maybe one or two things about you. Like your eye color and name so I don't forget," she said firmly. He said he would watch his back for healers off duty and she nodded, "smart," she chimed in. Then he said that he had never misbehaved in his life and her eyebrow raised so high it almost disappeared into her hairline. "Well, who says I'll help you if they stun you?" she countered, choosing to move past the 'misbehaving' lie. He asked if, in her weird scenario, he still got locked up at her place and how they would have to explain to Mina. Callisto pursed her lips, brow furrowed, "I suppose... if you want to be," she said. shawn lesley ashcroft

It wasn’t a surprise to Shawn that Callisto didn’t like the idea of her sister, Mina, and him becoming friends. Mina already seemed to be having fun when he carried Callisto home one night when she drank to much. Shawn could only imagine how much fun Mina would get in probably telling him embarrassing details about her sister. “What? I’m sure she knows all the best stories about you that you would never dare tell me.” He teased Callisto for a moment, he wasn’t being mean about it but he couldn’t help but want to hear those stories also.
Of course Callisto would have notes, a diary he couldn’t see but notes seemed right up Callisto alley. Still he was surprised that she might have a few notes about him just so she wouldn’t forget. “I’m not sure if I should feel honored or offended. You may have notes about me which is nice but you only have them because you might forget about me?” Shawn attempted to pretend to be offended but that was hard to do with a smile across his face. “I don’t need notes just yet to remember anything about you. Still I suppose I should make one just to remember what day this is for anniversary sake.” He explained now done teasing her about her notes for a moment.
Callisto explained how she might not help him if he had gotten stunned by a fellow healer which he wasn’t completely surprised by. “I guess you do deserve to see me hit with a few spells for annoying you as much as I did back at school.” Shawn could agree to that and it wouldn’t be the first time someone had gotten some light heart revenge on him. “I still won’t regret it. I certainly didn’t expect it to bring me here but I wouldn’t have changed a thing.” He attempted to explain as it probably came out a little silly, at least to him it did. Yet it was true he had gone from annoying a girl back at school many years ago to being on their first date.. or third, it was hard to tell really.
“Maybe some other time.” He replied with a smirk. It was just a weird scenario that got out of hand but he enjoyed every second of it. “We can just pick a random number and make it that date.” Shawn added jokingly while they continued looking at the random art on the walls.

He said that he was sure Mina knew all the best, and secret, stories about her and Callisto felt her ears turning read. "Maybe there is a reason I don't want to tell them to you," she said, her eyes narrowing even more at him. Callisto and Shawn would be a terrifying team, she knew that and... in an odd way, that was kind of a nice thought. He said that he wasn't sure whether to be honored or offended because of the nature of her notes and she shrugged. "Hey, I have a lot on my mind," she countered. He said that he would make a note of this date for anniversary sake and she felt her stomach drop somewhere south of her knees. "Ye-Yeah," was all she managed to get out about that particular word. Anniversary. Ah. He said that she did deserve to see him hit with spells because of being annoying and she nodded, agreeing. Then he said he didn't regret it and she chuckled, lifting a hand to cover her smile as he said that he wouldn't have changed a thing. "I guess one of your pranks did get us here," she agreed, looking up at him with wide eyes. Not in a shocked or scared way but more a ... realization kind of way. He said they would just pick a number date and they would make that date the one for the sleepover. "Or, we could let it happen naturally, or whatever. Though, I do like to plan. Oh, that's one is nice," she pointed at a painting of a woman in a dark blue dress that flowed onto the floor in a long train. shawn lesley ashcroft

Shawn just smirked slightly toward Callisto as she explained that there was probably a reason she didn’t want him to hear those stories. He wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to share them. She was more the serious type and probably didn’t want any mistakes she had made or embarrassing details out in the world. “I’ll only tease you a little. Unless it something really good.” Shawn finally replied in an almost teasing tone. He wouldn’t be mean about it, he never was and this was Callisto after all. He didn’t want to make her mad for any reason to begin with. “If you ever need any embarrassing stories about me you can just ask Rory. You could even ask me if you want, I’m always willing to share.”
She explained how she kept notes because she just had so much on her mind. He could see that yet something like a name, at least one used often and not just once, he found hard to forget. Callisto stumbled out a response when he brought up anniversaries and he smiled anyway. Possibly he had said too much or assumed too much already but there was no point in worrying about that now. “I mean we can worry about that later after all. It’s not that important now.”
It wasn’t like Shawn could take all the credit for them being on a date now. Still it was just odd how fate worked out or maybe just random chance. Callisto attempted to hide her smiled before agreeing that his pranks did get them here. He wished she didn’t try to hide it as it was beautiful after all. “Some pranks and a whole bunch of good luck. I think that could fit on my tombstone somewhere as well.” Shawn laughed again as that did sound like a very simplified version of his life and it kept out the bad parts. It’s all he could ask of a tombstone he supposed.
He hadn’t been serious obviously and didn’t think Callisto was either but that wasn’t important. He was just fine with letting things come naturally anyway. “Well we can just plan for it to come naturally. The best of both worlds.” He smirked as he replied to Callisto’s statement knowing full well that wasn’t what she meant by planning. She did direct his attention to another painting and it was indeed nice. It did make him realize just how little time they were spending even bothering with the art and more just talking to each other. Still he didn’t have a problem with that one bit and it wasn’t like he knew much about art besides what he thought looked nice. “Going to go off to get yourself a nice blue dress now?”

He said he would only tease her a little and she wrinkled her nose at home. He was already teasing her now! Callisto saw the appeal in teasing. It was a fun way to make someone understand that you felt comfortable around them. That was a nice thing to have with Shawn. Kind of like the holding hands thing. Of course Shawn was willing to share his embarrassing stories openly, the man had no shame. She pondered that for a moment, "I'll let you know if I feel the desire to hear one."
He said they could worry about the anniversary stuff later and she breathed, nodding in agreement. It wasn't that she didn't like the idea, she did. But it was... Scary. Even scarier was that she was smiling so much, even mores when he mentioned how pranks sometimes brought good luck. "You really think someone would pay for a tombstone that big? she questioned, smiling.
He said they could plan for him staying in her apartment to come naturally, tied up or whatever, and said that was the best of both worlds. She nodded, "plan not to plan... Interesting," she muttered. Then he commented on the painting, too, and she raised an eyebrow at him. "I already have a nice blue dress."

Shawn wasn’t worried about sharing his embarrassing stories. With the people he knew it was just better to share them himself than wait. His friends were bound to try to embarrass him one way or another with them so it was better to beat them to the punch. Callisto also worked closely with Rory who knew all his stories all too well, in fact he was in a few of them also. “ I’ll make sure to save a good one for when you do. Possibly the time I was confused for a families pet and stuck with them for a day.” That was an interesting day indeed he thought with a laugh.
All he could do was laugh as Callisto questioned if someone would pay for something that big. “What are you saying I’m not worth it?” Shawn replied teasing for a moment. “I almost feel offended. If you’re going to be the death of me the very least you could do is front the cost of the tombstone.” Shawn added not actually feeling the least bit offending.
“It’s mostly how I’ve lived my life, I hardly ever planned much. Which probably sounds like a nightmare to you.” He teased for a moment knowing how much Callisto liked to plan everything. His life probably seemed like a disorganized mess and he wouldn’t completely disagree with that but it worked for him so far. Callisto commented about already having a blue dress. “I’ll have to plan some reason where you have to wear it sometime. Completely just to see how it compares to this painting, not because I think you’d look amazing in a blue dress.”

Callisto nodded when he said he'd make sure to save a good story for her when she asked. He talked about how he confused for a families pet and stuck with them for a day, and her eyes widened a little. "But did they ever find their actual pet?" she asked, more concerned about that part at the moment then the hilarity of Shawn being forced to act as a house pet. He questioned whether she was questioning his worth about the tombstone and she shrugged. "I think that's a fair trade, but I can't afford something massive," she explained. She was still a new healer, technically, and definitely didn't make a giant amount of gold. He said he hardly ever planned much and he was right, that did sound like a nightmare to her. She shuddered a little and didn't comment further on the 'not planning' thing. Then he said that he'd have to plan something for her to wear the dress to and he turned to look at him. "I do look amazing in my blue dress," she assured him. "Come on, maybe we can find a suit in a picture you'd look good in," she suggested, tightening her hold on his hand again to pull him along. This was the most talking she had done in a museum since... well, ever. shawn lesley ashcroft(oh my gosh I can't end it)

“See, you’re supposed to be laughing at my misfortune not thinking about the other parts of the story.” Shawn teased for a moment as Callisto seemed far more interested in if the family had a happy ending in finding their actual dog. “But yes , they found their dog. That’s part of how I got out the their house so easily. They wouldn’t take me out of their sight thinking their dog would run away when it was really me.” Shawn pretty much gave in and told Callisto most of the story anyway. He’d much rather let the ending of it go than have her worried or possibly sad with not knowing what might have happened.
Shawn wasn’t be anywhere near serious about the head stone but Callisto said it was still a fair deal but it couldn’t be too big as she didn’t have the money for that. “That’s all the more reason you can’t get rid of me just yet.” Shawn laughed for a moment as he didn’t really want to assume he might ever be gotten rid of. “I’ll just be on the look out if you ever make it rich.”
Callisto assured him that she did look good in her blue dress, amazing even. “Well now I want to see it even more. I mean you’ve talked about it so much I can’t wait now.” Shawn teased for a moment as he was the one to bring up her having a blue dress, if anything he was the one mostly talking about it. Still he couldn’t see her not looking amazing in a dress after all anyway. Callisto did explain how they should go find a painting of a suit that might look good on him before pulling him along. It was amazing how he went from being so nervous about this date to feeling relaxed like this was natural. He knew nothing about art but he was getting by somehow. “Well if you wanted suits I might look good in there was that painting of a suit of armor awhile go.” Shawn joked while smiling as Callisto pulled him along by the hand, he still had no intention of letting go either.
@callisto (If you want to make that the end and we can say they just finished the Museum tour. That or keep posting, both I'm 100% fine with.)
