[Light practically beams into his eyes when Will decides to pursue this instead. He must admit, he does want to see what lies in front of them. Something like an adventure of its own, although the only dangers it present would be a prank or something like terrible food or service.

If the latter is the case, then he really will have some words for Nao.]

It would be a waste to leave it be, would it? [Does Strohl even realize how wide his grin is?] And I suppose I could uh, receive these flowers as well.

[He reaches out for it, pointedly looking away as if he's observing the wood grains on the establishment's sign.]

[Oh? Well. He blinks down at the flowers, and then hands them to Strohl.]

Sorry. If I knew I was giving you a gift, I'd have gotten something more permanent. Like a sword, or some armor, or a bracelet.

[...he hesitates after saying that, struck by his own words. Maybe he should get Strohl something?]

Anyway. Let's see how good this restaurant really is.

[takeastrohl]

It’s all right. the flowers are beautiful still. [He takes a moment to breathe in their fragrance. The content smile in his lips tells a thousand words.]

But I would be happy to take whatever you give me, Will.

[He would admit that he would very much like to receive a bracelet from their captain. That way they could match, with the bracelet Strohl himself acquired for Will back in Brilehaven.

Perhaps it was fitting to the mood that he feels like acting the gentleman, but as he opens the door to the restaurant, he signals for Will to come in first.]

After you.

[Something, again, stirs in his stomach. Yes, already, he should get something nice for Strohl. A bracelet, or -- do clemar wear jewelry on their horns? He thinks they should.

Either way, he steps in. Evidentially it's all already been arranged for them, and they're quite promptly led to a seat.]

This isn't exactly how I expected my night to go.

Me neither. But it's quite the pleasant surprise, isn't it?

[Turns out, Nao's been very generous and has gotten them set up for a full course meal, of all things. He's been to a dinner like this before, although the stifling talk of nobles with their money and nepotism often turned the food into ash in his mouth. This time, however, he is in more pleasant company.]

This must be your first time eating in a place like this.

[It's not something anyone would have the privilege to do, and Will would have been turned at the door at such establishments purely for being elda. Just the thought of it makes Strohl's stomach churn, but at least now he can have the experience for his own.

And he is ever so determined to make this a good memory for the both of them.]
