After meeting Lindsay Corben in front of the gym after both had changed and showered from the training session, Jon hails a cab, having it head back to the hotel he'd put himself up in for Battlezone, in order to have some solitude, in order to relax. Soon after their arrival, they'd found themselves in his hotel, the Hilton's, restuarant, the Pavia... Both look out of place in their dress, but it doesn't matter to them, as they sit across from each other, having placed their orders... "So, Lindsay... I don't want to go after a sore subject at all... but tell me... Blaze... actually... wait... don't. Lets have some fun, huh? First time meeting between the two of us, I'm glad to be out with someone I work with, someone who I'm going to help mold into a centerpiece in her division... screw it, lets just have some fun, you know?"His own mind had been all over the place following his previous relationships that he'd lost in a matter of a week, and he knew how those subjects tended to get for him... he could only imagine what dragging Blaze's name into a new, possible friendship could do... "So... how're you liking APW so far?"There, that should be a good subject changer...

Lidnsay smiled at Pryor as he spoke, then paused and spoke again.It had been so long since she had even been out to dinner. He wanted to have fun, then they most certainly would have fun.
"hmm i'm really liking the people i have met in APW they have all been really great, what about you? what are you liking here in APW?"
Lindsay smiled again, it really was good to get out.

"It's nice and compact... not to mention that the treachorous, power hungry, match rigging administrative types have seemed to miss this place so it's all good..." He'd still been a bit sore at his former employer after finally getting his toxicology report back... at least that bastards gonna do some time from the charges Pryor's pressing... "But it's best not to dip into that fiasco... Basically, anything that I was attempting to do at my last place? It's in the past... some of it, unfortunately... but still. A new leaf here in APW... whether it be to claim another World Title, or just cement my spot in history, or even what I was just doing with you and Sarah, and that is helping to guide new talents into the spotlight... basically, the man you may have seen back in LXW or VWE? Is nothing compared to what I am now... stripped down, and barebones... starting over."[/center]

"starting over can be a great thing,"
Lindsay's smile grew. Starting over, thats something she had been trying to do for so long, and it seemed things were looking up. APW seemed to the place she could start over.
" So is there someone special in your life?"

He just chuckles a ironic chuckle, looking down at the table...
"The answer to that question could put me on the same level as Blaze... but here goes... I was married, got married in November to a woman that I helped her rise in this business, Kim... and... ya know what? It was good... I had no complaints, honeymoon in Rio de Janeiro, big big house on Long Island and all that... things were good...
But then, I don't know if I can say I messed it up, or what not... but... well, I kinda got a little drunk... and then an affair happened... another woman basically, I had deeper feelings for than anyone I had in my life, including my wife... basically popped up out of a drunken celebration... and well, you can see where this is going...
Basically, I tore myself up over both of these women... I lost my wife, I lost my, well Mistress, all within a span of a week when my last company went under... lost it all, just about. So you can see why I'm anxious to start rebuilding again, can't you? I haven't been any type of saint at all, and those two cuts I recieved there at the end of LXW? Devastating... I'm looking forward to trying to build a new life for myself..."
Yep... she probably thinks Pryor's a slimebag... nice going, Jon...
He just looks up at her, seeing the reactions on her face...

Lindsay looked deep into Pryors eyes. Then she smiled and full warm smile. She could hear music playing across the room. They had a live band playing some slow Classical music.
" Would you like to dance with me?"
Lindsay kept her smile and her gaze into Pryors eyes.

Damn... no judgements? He's already heard it all anyways...
But Lindsay, such a fresh face to him, something new... He just smiles back as he looks back into her eyes...
"Of course..."
He stands, walking over to her side of the table, extending his hand down to her, allowing her to grasp on to stand...
"Just to warn you... I'm not quite a pro at it..."

Taking his hand and standing Lindsay smiled.
" I'm sure you'll be great,"
Pryor led her toward the dance floor where they took there places on the floor, her arms around Pryors neck and his placed firmly on her waist. The music began and they swayed softly to the beat.
" See you are doing great,"

He relaxes his shoulders as Lindsays hands wrap around, lightly feeling on her hips as they both swayed to the music...
"Heh... guess not... Been a while since you've really gotten out, Lindsay?"

Lindsay giggled lightly.
" yeah, its been a long time, especially to some place this nice, and somewhere i could dang like this, i like this."
Lindsay pulled herself a little closer to him as another couple passed rather close to her. Her face began to get a little red as she realized how close she had moved to him.

One of his hands moved around to the small of her back, as she'd gotten a little closer... he just cracks one of his grins out of the side of his lips...
"I'm liking this too... I'm actually getting quite glad I did get my contract sold to APW, to tell you the truth... because this?"
He looks around at the restaurant, then down at the cute brunette in his arms...
"This is quite nice..."

Lindsay blushed and began to rest her head on his shoulder/chest. She could feel his heart beat. Strong and steady.
" Yeah this is nice,"

Damn... He didn't know what to think now... he just places his hand on her back... for once, the sting of losing Lilith seemed to fade on him, as his hand rose with each of her breaths as her head rested on his chest, still swaying to the music...

"Thank you for all the help you are giving me,"
She lifted her head and looked up at him.
" It means a lot to me."

He just smiles, looking down into her eyes...
"You're welcome... I'm just trying to do my part for the future of this business... I really do look forward to seeing how you two do..."

" Yeah, i figured thats how you guys met."
Lindsay smiled as the song ended. a slender female approached them
" Excuse me, you food is ready at your table,"
Lindsay smiled at the woman before looking back to Pryor.
" Ready to eat?"

"Starving... Lead the way..." He returns the smile as they both walk back to the table, Jon pushing in Lindsay's chair for her...[/center]

As she took her seat and he pushed her chair in like a gentlemen she blushed. Only slightly though. It had been a long time since someone had even done the simplest things for her, like open doors push her chair. It was really...nice. looking down she eyed her salad, it looked amazing. A chicken ceasar salad, her favorite salad.
" This looks amazing,"
