((Well it's Open RP...yea. I don't know if to make it just me and Poppy but oh well.))
Bandle City, Titus' House and Observatory March 7, CLE Sometime during the day
After Titus asked Poppy on a date, everyday he waits for the letter from Demacia when she is available. It is several weeks and he has completely forgotten about the date. Admiral Spassy is taking care of the navy for him and Titus is back his house and observatory practicing his magic, this time more ambitiously than ever.
Inside his main observatory, Titus concentrates his efforts in creating a stable black hole (which Titus made sure not to make it into an actual black hole). The observatory rumbles through the malevolent humming of the suction. Small specks of dust would fall into the dark abyss. Titus could see nothing there but only speculate what the singularity would look like. Is it twinkling or is it something no one can see? Either way, being sucked into a black hole, whether it was made by him or falling into an actual one, unnerves Titus slightly.
Meanwhile, the mailman arrives at the front yard and notices a small yet deep hum emanating from the inside. He creeps closer and closer until he's just next to the window. But something gave him the thought to walk towards the mailbox and deposit the mail there. When Titus sees the mailman delivering the mail, he shrinks the black hole in such a way that it doesn't explode like the actual black holes from space would do.
Once the mailman walks away, Titus walks outside with only a belted tunic and brown boots. He opens the mailbox and checks inside. He forgot that whenever Poppy is not busy, she'll send a letter to Titus about when she's available for the date. As Titus looks over the letters, a particular one catches his attention...

The letter would be an official envelope of the Bandle City Embassy and sealed with Poppy's personal seal. Inside the envelope, a letter on a light blue piece of paper was folded precisely in an official manner, reading:
"Admiral Titus Flavius of the Bandle City Navy.
As I said I would do, here is the letter with a few different times when I can relieve myself from work and meet up for that date."
Beneath the starting lines was a list of a couple of different dates where Poppy's work is not too overbearing, followed by one last line.
Send me back a letter with the date and the place to meet you at, I'll be there.
- Poppy"
((Just choose a day and place and do a little time-shift in the next post ;P))
((Is Poppy back at the Smithy? Cause I'm assuming she is... If not, then I can change the post.))
Date? What...date...oh my gosh...!
And that's where Titus realizes it. He forgot about the date! It has been near to a month since he asked Poppy for a date. He didn't realize that she's going to send the letter when she's going to be available. He holds the letters and runs back to his house, but as soon he enters the house, his entire observatory is a mess. The black hole created havoc around the observatory. Papers, books, and other things are thrown all over the floor as if a tornado came in and wrecked the place.
Devastated, Titus looks at the letter and writes a reply letter.
Dear Poppy, I'll pick you up from the smithy on March 14 and we'll go to the Jitterbug Restaurant. Dress nicely.
- Titus
He goes outside and sees the same mailman he deposited the letters at the mailbox. He approaches to the mailman and hands the letter to him.
"Send it to Blomgrun's Smithy!" He says to the mailman. "Will do, sir!" The mailman replies, takes the letter and leaves.
He goes inside the observatory and faces a daunting task to clean up the entire house.
((Going back again, I don't know if Poppy's at her own house or back at Demacia. I can change the post if she's still in Demacia by this day.))
Blomgrun's Smithy March 14, 23 CLE Near to sunset
The tuxedo Titus was planning to wear got ripped up from the black hole he created a week ago. So Titus went with another formal wear. His attire is...somewhat the same. Titus is wearing the same black boots and gloves. But the muscle cuirass is shinier and golden, his cape is purple on outside and has small twinkling stars on the inside, and he's wearing a laurel crown on his head.
Maybe looking like a ((Roman)) emperor may be weird to Poppy, but Titus has seen stranger things. He knocks on the door expecting Poppy to get ready. It didn't matter to Titus what she's going to wear. The point is that he and Poppy are going to have a fun time.

((My thought was that she'd be at the Embassy in Demacia still when the letter arrived))
Poppy opens the door and looks at Titus' outfit, sighing in her mind. Flamboyance as expected. Her outfit however, while not formal, was closer to it than usual. Instead of her armor or her smithing outfit, she was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt and some simple pants. She never was one for "beautiful" outfits or such.
"I didn't expect such a... formal outfit."
((Who wears a Roman Emperor outfit on the first date? xD))
((Anyone who wants to be a Roman! :D That's what!))
"Hey Poppy! So...."
Titus never expects Poppy to dress simple...well actually after one second of gazing, he accepted it. He looks at himself for a moment, looking formalish with his armor and then looks back at Poppy, who is wearing her sleeveless t-shirt and pants.
"Oh! So you want to wear normal clothes?"
His expression is still opportunistic and smiling.

((I blame our official side Trist for corrupting my mind but...)) (("Expression opportunistic." ))
Poppy shakes her head at Titus's outfit, amused even though her expression does not show it, being the usual serious face.
"I would prefer that. I never really wear anything formal. Even in diplomatic meetings, I'm usually in armor. Demacians understand that quite well, considering their prince is always in armor as well."
She leans against the door frame, looking at Titus. Whomper leaning against the doorframe, looking as heavy as ever.
"So, do you wish to change your outfit or go like that? I am fine with either. But I will stay like this. Dresses and such formal wear is not my style."
He takes off the armor as if he's taking off a shirt. Under the armor is a belted tunic. He then takes off the laurel crown and extends the two items to her.
He steps inside and places the two items on the couch. Then he walks to the door and stands besides Poppy, extending his hand. It is their first date and Titus felt like escorting her.
"Ready?"
((Thinking that the next post should take place on the restaurant))

Poppy sighs mentally when she sees the extended hand. It would seem Titus wanted to treat her like some sort of lady. She was much more practical than that, but goes along with it.
Bandle City, Jitterbug Restaurant March 14, CLE 8 PM
The two arrive at the Jitterbug Restaurant. Yordles line up outside the restaurant waiting for their number to call out. The scent of food fills the outside air and Titus' stomach grumbles. They can also hear the swinging serenade hypnotizes the yordles outside the Jitterbug as they start dancing along the lively beat.
But despite all of this, Titus is nervous. He's never gone out with anyone before and he's wondering why he asked the Iron Ambassador in the first place. Titus is concerned if Poppy will enjoy it. For all he knows, it might end up boring or embarrassing.
"Well..." Titus nervously introduces the restaurant. "Here you go! The Jitterbug! One of the best in Bandle, they have the best food and a dance floor for people to dance. Plus one of the best swing band ever!" Titus takes Poppy's hand, tugs it gently, and leads her into the restaurant.

Poppy's expression shows nothing about what she is thinking, instead being as it usually is. Serious, determined and focused. Dance floor... hopefully she wouldn't have to step on it. No doubt fair few of the people there would recognize her and start rumors. There was a reason why she didn't exactly like visiting restaurants... especially with someone.
"No doubt this will spark rumors... hopefully people don't get too overboard with such things. Though knowing our kind... that might be false hope."
She follows Titus in, but the man would notice that tugging her arm would not make her budge, but more likely make him almost stagger and fall against Poppy. A warrior is not easily moved.
((A public place, dancing, lot of people to make rumors. Yup, doesn't bode well for Poppy. ))
((lol You just gave me fun ways to make the date "interesting".))
"Don't worry! It's just two ordinary yordles dating. We can keep a low profile."
Titus says in a confident willing way. He keeps his happy and enthusiasm but has a hint of doubt on the inside. The restaurant will be ablaze if one person gets wind that an admiral and an ambassador are dating.
The two approach the main counter where the waitress stands. He's still holding Poppy's hand.
"Excuse me, when will our reservation be ready?" He asks the waiter. "About..." The waitress looks at the notebook full of reservations. "Ooooh! Just about now! Follow me!"
Titus and Poppy follow the waitress to the table. It is seated near to the window and away from the dance floor. In the middle of the table is a burning candle, flanked by salt, pepper, napkins, and ketchup. Two chairs rest on opposite sides of the circular table. In front of Titus and Poppy when the two sit down are silver forks and knives wrapped around a red table cloth.
((I am practically horrible at describing things so think of it as a nice fancy table in a nice fancy restaurant.))
The two yordles sit down when a waiter approaches them to take their order.
"Hello, my name is Pip and I'll be ready to take your order. So what do you want for drinks?" "Apple juice please." Titus immediately responds.

Poppy looks around and shakes her head. It would be a miracle if no one noticed them. Her hairstyle was so easily recognizable, especially with the length of the hair being about as long as she is herself.
"Do not get ahead of yourself. One date does not instantly mean "dating". You never know how these things turn out."
As she sits down and the waiter arrives, Poppy thinks for a few seconds before saying.
"I'll have some ice water if possible."
((Oh you. One date does not necessary mean dating you know :P ))
When the waiter left to get the drinks, Titus observes Poppy and her serious demeanor. He looks around to see if anyone's watching which thankfully, no one is. Then he remembers why he asked her in the first place. He just wants to see if Poppy is more than just a brown dwarf in space.
"Um...you're not the one for music and dancing, aren't you..."
