Faye inhaled slowly and nodded and when she looked up at Daggum, she smiled. “Doable,” she said with relief. Having also never been to a fancy restaurant, she was already slightly self-conscious about being here, but that had been fading rather fast the longer she sat here with Dag. “The last thing we need is extra places for my brain to carve new paths through. “You should have seen me trying to figure out clothes for this week,” she said with a lopsided smirk.

Daggum winked and said “I packed sixteen times since we first decided to do this… four times the night before I left.”

When the server returned and it was her turn to order, Faye bit her lower lip and then exhaled. “Okay, I’ll have the oranges to start, then the mussels, beef tips and…” Faye grinned wider, “…the chocolate cake.”

Daggum smiled said “Charcuterie, Prawn Cocktail, Beef Tips, and Tiramisu please. Thank you.” and the server smiled. “Excellent choices all around. I’ll bring small plates for sharing as well.” and they left through the partition. Daggum looked back at Faye and said “We should come here for every anniversary we have.” and then his eyes went a little wide. “Um… if we have those, that is. I mean…” and then he took a deep breath and just chuckled. “I didn’t mean anniversary anniversary… just like… you know… any time we celebrate being together. Annnnd I’m gonna shut up now and drink my blue-juice.” and he smiled even as his face went a much darker shade of green.

Daggum

Faye just stared at him as he seemed to spin in verbal circles and dig holes. Finally, she just grinned. “You are cute when you change shades. You’re not unlike some of the areas of the garden.” Faye picked up her glass. “But too late Hammor, can’t take it back. I mean you could, but I’m a smart woman, remember? I know you well enough now to know you don’t want to.” Then she took a sip from her drink

Daggum blushed again and then looked at the table before looking up at her. “Sorry… I j-… just… I mean I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable. Or feel like.. well… anything other than happy to be here. And I won’t lie and say I haven’t thought about it before, but thats… you know… the future. Not right now.” and he smled and shook his head.

“I’m good with the present,” she said softly. Faye wasn’t sure pondering too much farther than that was a good idea given how easily overwhelmed she was these days. But if there was one thing she knew for sure is that being the present with Daggum was truly something wonderful and she was loathe to think about what happened when he had to go back to his ship. For now she intended to enjoy this week as much as she could.

“Now in a normal first date, this is where the guy orders a stiff drink and the girl says ‘Excuse me.’, goes to the bathroom and climbs out a window to get away form creepy weirdo.” and he took a drink.

Faye chuckled. “Dude, do I look like the kind of woman who crawls out the window?”

“Needs vodka.” and he grinned at her.

Daggum

She grinned. “Makes me wish I had borrowed Alex’s stone. He’s got this rare stone that absorbs alcohol somehow. I was able to taste a really incredible wine and have a couple glasses. No intoxication,” she said making a horizontal slashing motion wit her hand. “It’s a neat trick, if an unfair puzzle to toss my way,” she said, her eyes all but gleaming as she took another generous sip of the cider.
