Lyra had a feeling that it probably wasn't fair compensation, but she wasnt about to make a fuss of things tonight. Instead, she wanted to just enjoy the evening with Ash. they were on a date after all. Lyra felt nervous by that idea, but excited as well.
"And we'll be less likely to get into trouble if anyone catches us as compared to Hogsmede." When Ash pulled the lid off and the sweet scent of the meal wafted up to her, she grinned. It looked like some of her favorites were on there, steak and baked potatoes, steamed carrots. "Now you really are going all out. I'm not sure if I should be surprised and impressed." She teased. "Or feel bad that I didn't plan any return surprises for you tonight."
Picking up her knife and fork, she cut into the piece, feeling a bit shy about eating in front of him. Lyra wasn't going to let that stop her though as she took the first bite and then another. "That's really fantastic. So, is this your favorite meal or did you somehow manage to find out mine?"
