Thai Restaurant [evening]

"So I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to eat an Oreo again," Anakin said conversationally, poking at a plate of chicken satay and grinning over at Rory.

[OOC: For the one that he's marrying...]

"You know, when you start stories like that, I get filled with this sense of dread about how they might finish," she admitted.

"Jaina's boyfriend turned into a cookie yesterday," he said.

As you do.

She really should have been more surprised. "Did he get better?"

[sith_happened]

"I should probably check, huh?" Anakin said thoughtfully. "I didn't see him before coming up."

"...oh my god, is your granddaughter bringing a cookie as her date to our wedding?"

She paused.

"So. What kind of cookie?"

[sith_happened]

"A thin mint?" Anakin said, taking a sip from his glass of water. "He was telling me way too much about the sex lives of cookies."

He looked a little weirded out. "That they have any, to start with."

Rory stared at him.

"Anakin, I love you, but so help me, if you turn me off of cookies I may have to kill you."

"I won't tell you any more, I promise," he said, moving his foot under the table to find hers. "I'm trying to forget the whole thing happened, really."

"Smart boy." Her foot slid out of its shoe, trailing along his. "Want your presents?"

"I'm not going to say no," he said, eyes shining at her as he slipped out of his shoe as well and moved his foot up her leg. Something to be said for not wearing boots all the time.

Rory bit her lip shyly, and addressed the table. "Okay, well, you know I'm not working, and I didn't really want to help Grandma and Grandpa, with the wedding and all. So, um. These are kind of not...big, but I tried."

She reached into a bag, and handed him a neat little box. Inside were a few pictures of them, the coordinates of their star, a photograph of her engagement ring and one of their wedding invitations.

"I kind of made a little time capsule?" she offered. "You can add stuff you want and we can bury it in Stars Hollow and then open it in 2028 or something."

"It's perfect," he said softly as he poked through the little box. "Thank you."

"Um. And there's something else," she added, blushing, "but you have to wait until we're home to see."

"I love those kinds of gifts too," Anakin said, leaning across the table to kiss her.

He loved being able to do that in public.

She smiled into the kiss. "It's not even that sexy, it's just...private."

"Sounds perfect to me," Anakin said, sitting down as their meals arrived.
