Theatrical bowing? Complimenting her knowledge of dead things? Calling her FUN? This guy, whoever he was (she should probably figure that out sometime soon) was certainly checking a lot of boxes. She beamed at him, though when he posed the dreaded 'what to eat?' question she hesitated. She worried her lower lip briefly.
"Normally I'd say Korean BBQ without hesitation. I would kill a man for bulgogi under the right conditions." Despite the levity of her voice and the absurdity of the statement, there was something glinting in her deep blue eyes that suggested she was serious.
"However, as you might have guessed, spite is very important to me. Clogging arteries in protest does sound almost as delicious as a greasy burger..." She let her words trail off, clearly weighing the pros and cons of each.
After a moment she returned her gaze to him, looking serious. "Korean BBQ today, because the draw of kimchi and fire is too strong, but you'll have to tell me more about this greasy spoon. Does that work for you?" There was of course the possibility that he had a significant preference that she was ignoring, so she wanted to give him the chance to offer that.
"Oh, by the way, I'm Aria. Doctor Aria Reid. I usually go by Reid. ...Or Nancy, actually." She looked apologetic for a moment, now feeling compelled to explain. "It's a play on words because Medical Examiner plus lots of death equals necromancy jokes because my friends are jerks." Calling them friends was a bit of a stretch, but they were jerks. "It's nice to meet you." That was true, at least.
