Tonight's mission wasn't accomplished yet, but Lyle was very pleased with the way it was going so far. Especially since he'd already made Brainy spout out a list of 'unsexy' things without anyone taking their pants off.

It was a good thing he was invisible, because he could actually feel the smug radiating from him (or maybe it was just excessive body heat due to 'certain biological responses'. Or both).

"You know where to find me when you're done calming things down," he said, putting as much leer into his voice as possible. "I'll go see about the food."

And maybe dash outside for a moment and let the cold take care of his side of things.

When Brainy did arrive a the aforementioned Glacier Viewing Room, the furniture that usually inhabited the main area had been pushed away to form a ring at the edges of the room. Lyle had spread a blanket, picnic style; and arranged the attractively-plated finger-foods so that everything would be in reach of at least one of them. And Lyle faded into visibility a few steps from the door wearing a white button-up shirt, black slacks, and no headband.

"Hey," he said with a smirk. "You look like my date for tonight."
