As they get to the door, Conrad comes in for a quick kiss, which startles Taric.
CONRAD- “Now, that wasn’t a joke....just so you know. I really like you Taric and had a great time. We really need to do this again. Maybe I can take you to a live basketball game...”
Taric left, a little confused, but he did like Conrad. At least he had a sense of humor....somewhat..
CONRAD- “Seriously? Unsportswomanlike behavior?”
TARIC- “I was just making a joke....”
CONRAD- “Oh...okay. Yeah I suppose that was funny. But not as funny as me asking you about glacial movement.”
TARIC- “So all that was a joke?”
CONRAD- “Yeah...I got you didn’t I!?”
TARIC- “I suppose you did, as I thought you were totally serious about it. Listen, I think I will go now. I need to stop on the way home and check in at work. There was some kind of issue there tonight.”
CONRAD- “Sure, let me walk you out while this commercial is on.”
TARIC- “So you are a physicist?”
CONRAD- “Yeah, I work for a pharmaceutical company and formulate different drugs and such. So you are a bartender, what else do you do?”
TARIC- “That’s about it actually. I finished school, and not sure what I want to do yet.”
CONRAD- “Don’t waste time, Taric, just make sure you do something you love and it’s not really work then. I love two things. My work and basketball. And science of course....so let me ask you a question...”
TARIC- “Sure.”
CONRAD- “What would you say is the average speed that a glacier moves each year?”
TARIC- “Huh?”
CONRAD- “What is the average annual speed that a glacier moves...Come on guess. It’s not that hard really.”
TARIC- “I would have no clue.”
CONRAD- “Think about it....I will ask again later.”

Taric went and got them both a beer, as he was sitting down, something happened on the game and Conrad went into a rage...
CONRAD- “DID YOU SEE THAT!!?? What the hell does she think she is doing. You don’t just foul someone like that. So blatant. They should expel her for unsportsmanlike behavior!
TARIC- “Don’t you mean unsportswomanlike behavior?”
Conrad just continued to glare at the television...
CONRAD- “I think you may have an admirer, Taric...”
TARIC- “Don’t even go there!”
CONRAD- “Oh, you know this guy?”
TARIC- “He is at every place I have gone to lately! He is some kind of NPC Stalker or something!”
CONRAD- “Well, at least his is dressed for the occasion!”
TARIC- “Let’s just get to our seats....FAST!”
@oakglow
TARIC- “So, Conrad, what do you like to do when you are not working?”
CONRAD- “I enjoy working out, and do some reading, but my favorite thing is to watch basketball! I absolutely love it. College, Pro, even High School basketball.
TARIC- “Not a big basketball fan, I prefer Football or soccer.”
CONRAD- “You don’t like basketball??? My goodness, Taric, how can one live life without watching a basketball game!!?”
TARIC- “I just never got into it. I haven’t watched a game, ever, I don’t think.”
CONRAD- “NEVER watched a game. Oh, we need to correct that immediately! I tell you what we are going to do, as soon as we are finished with dinner....and you make a guess regarding annual glacier movement, we will head back to my place and watch a game. There is a girl’s basketball game on at 9:00. A college game. You are going to LOVE it. I assure you. So now, what’s your guess as to the annual movement of a glacier?
TARIC- “Glacier movement and basketball. Wow, I really didn’t think this would be our date conversation....”
CONRAD- “Everything looks amazing. I think the pasta is my choice, how about you Taric?”
TARIC- “The Meatball, I have heard it is great.”
CONRAD- “Yes, balls are always a good choice!! Right? So are you ready to answer the question?
The server arrives, saving Taric from answering Conrad’s question regarding glacier movement....
@oakglow
While Conrad became engrossed in the basketball game, Taric pulled out his phone and started googling glacial movement. He wanted to give Conrad an answer so that he would stop asking….
After a few minutes, he found an answer…
TARIC- “I have an answer…”
CONRAD- “Ah, yes finally…and?”
TARIC- “ Glacial movement depends upon various factors, such as the size of the glacier, the climate and location. but on the average a normal glacier movement in the north pole area has increased in recent years to about 20 feet per year., up from 16 feet per year 25 years ago.”
CONRAD- “Really? Wow, I didn’t think it would even be that much. Good job! thanks for the information. Now are you seeing what is happening here?”
TARIC- “No, not really….”
CONRAD- “We are bonding. I needed an answer, you found it for me, and we are enjoying a nice game of basketball together. Feel free to grab a beer out of the fridge, and if you don’t mind can you bring me one?”
