It would be another several minutes, making nearly a half an hour, before Tandra finally realized she’d been dominating the conversation and stopped herself. Aili had probably heard most of Tandra’s research, a lot of her studying from the beginning of Academy, and probably every even remotely interesting case she’d been on to date. After a pause, she added, “Sorry. I tend to get a bit… carried away with this stuff.”

Aili was frankly disappointed when the blathering came to a close. “Oh no! Trust me, I enjoyed it. I could listen to you all day.” Suddenly embarrassed, Aili looked down at her plate and pushed some of its remaining contents around. “Ahem”, she cleared her throat, “how are you liking this?”

“Oh, good. I’m glad I didn’t bore you,” Mika said, taking a bite of her food, which had now cooled down. “It’s good!” She said. In all honesty, she wasn’t really the biggest fan of the food, but she’d never, ever tell Aili that.

“Glad to hear it!” Aili exclaimed. She took another nibble at her food, eating slowly as a mild uneasiness grew within her. Her plans for the evening extended as far as the end of the dinner, which would ended with their current course less Tandra ask for a replicated dessert. A dearth of experience left her in the dark as to how to continue from there on, hence her subconcious yet continuous shrinking of the sizes of her bites. “So erm… what do you usually like to follow up a nice meal with?” Not entirely sure herself what her question meant, Aili supressed a grimace as it fought to emerge.
