Ah, no, don't even worry about it. I mean, I'm just kinda springing this on you all of a sudden and... wow, never, really? But uh, really didn't mean to suddenly--

[--wait. Oh. Oh, did she just say yes?

...Oh. To be totally honest, he wasn't sure if she would.]

Oh! Okay then. Awesome. [...why did he go with awesome, why was that the word that came out of his mouth, why does anyone let him talk ever, why--] Uh, Goldenrod probably works better for this, so... we can meet there?

[After he went there on Halloween, the city hasn't seemed as scary. Jack's there, sure, but... the odds of running into him probably aren't high.]

[a_sin_for_him]

No, never. My romantic relationship wasn't like that, we didn't...do those sorts of things. And I suppose I've simply never had the kind of friends who'd extend a personal invitation such as this before.

[Because usually, in her experience, friends didn't formally invite one another to private dinners.]

We don't have to, if you'd rather not. Ecruteak is lovely.

[secondhandsome]

Oh... huh. I mean, I've... never really been out to dinner with anyone myself, honestly. But I figure, hey, why not, right?

[He's also never really been out with friends like anywhere during his old life, dinner or otherwise. So it's... it's not that weird.]

Oh, well, that also works. I'm cool with either. [With the current track record as it is, Ecruteak's not that much safer than Goldenrod anyway.] I'll just leave that choice up to you.

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh. Really?

[That is a bit of a surprise. She knows he'd mentioned a lack of romantic experience, at one point, but...still.]

I suppose you're right, Goldenrod has more options.

[secondhandsome]

Yeah. What, is that really that much of a surprise?

[Not like anyone's ever been interested in him back when he was still his awkward nerd self on the outside as well as inside.]

Alright, Goldenrod it is.

[a_sin_for_him]

I thought...it seems a thing most humans do. That's all.

But I know just the restaurant. If we're going to do this, we're going to do it proper.

[secondhandsome]

Pfff, most people, maybe. Just. Not me. Never really had the, uh... opportunity for it, I guess.

Ha, alright then. Trusting your judgement.

[a_sin_for_him]

Well. Now you do.

My judgement is impeccable. Dress for going out to dinner.

And...since it is my birthday...may I make one small request?

[secondhandsome]

Uh. Yeah, of course. What is it?

[a_sin_for_him]

No yellow.

[secondhandsome]

Ha!

[Okay, not what he was expecting.]

No problem. Don't really like yellow all that much anyway.

[He says. Despite wearing yellow all the goddamn time. It's an audio conversation, so she can't see it, but he's wearing yellow right now.]
