Re: Eric + Emilia
“They can be rather inconsiderate, though I’m glad they knew you had to meet me today and didn’t hold you up.” He worked out she must work in the maternity ward at White Plans.
He felt his shoulders relax knowing that a jealous partner wasn’t going to show up and see her eating with him. The idea of starting a fight while at a community event didn’t particularly sit well with him and while he could hold his own the fight, now was neither the time nor the place.
"Encouraging?" He lifted an eyebrow. There were so many ways that could be taken and the least of which was in her work. "That’s actually refreshing." He decided to let it lie. Her basis in honesty at least told him that whoever her partner was he wasn’t controlling. "I’m okay with that." A part of him felt jealous that she had that type of relationship already.
"There’s one." A table opened up a good distance away from the line of people still trying to get food that they wouldn’t feel like they would have to move every time the line did.
