Krem shrugged a little, not the least offended by the way she phrased it. He smiled, just admiring the way that the light looked on her for a moment, that she had agreed to coming out with him to dinner in the first place. It was all, as they had both said, lovely.

"You know, honestly," he said, and laughed a little. "I haven't a whole lot else to compare to. The going out to dinner part. It hasn't been a part of my, uh. Repertoire. I've mostly just run into friends at the bars or cafes. I haven't been...out much."
