@OdiousMercenary You just look.. Never mind. [He decides not to press, in fear of making her feel worse. Instead, he digs back into his meal.] Your turn.
@OdiousMercenary I – Okay. *He caught a glimpse of the look on her face, and it was then that Beau worried he had spoken too much. It was, after all, only their first date; and that was a large bomb to drop.*

@OdiousMercenary That doesn't shock me. [Beau says without skipping a beat, his gaze following her trailing fingers.] I suppose it's my turn. Hm. [Pauses -
