The mixer was very well chaperoned, hosted at the hotel by Ms. Sheedy. There was a piano player for music, a buffet against one wall. There were tables for eating and talking, and a space set aside for dancing. Under Ms. Sheedy's beady eye.

Some of the Beloveds at the hotel had arrived early to help set up the room so even by the time it officially 'opened' at 6 pm there was a bit of a crowd of unmarried people.

	She blinked at him, then covered her mouth as she laughed. "Oh dear, I'm sorry," she apologized. "But for an instant, that rather made me sound like a ... a plate of roast beef!" she exclaimed, laughing again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oops. His eyes widened a little. "I didn't mean it that way. I wouldn't compare you to...well." He stopped and amended. "Better a plate of roast beef than a bowl of squash? I ai--I'm not much for squash. Do like my roast beef, though." He smiled and hoped she didn't think he was a complete idiot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She didn't, in fact, she was highly amused. She held up her hand while she got control of herself. "I know you didn't," she said apologetically. "But you have to admit, it was rather funny." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grinned, relieved that she was amused. Though he could handle being laughed at, too, if he had to. "Guess that's what happens when farm boys try to get fancy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Please, don't try to be fancy on my account," she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dan offered, "At least it made you laugh." And smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, it did," she agreed with a return smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So, ah. I know this isn't exactly the time to discuss business things, but I wondered...do you take on sewing for men, too?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not usually," she said, slightly regretful. "There is a tailor, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	general_dan 2009-03-13 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, right. "The tailor, that's right. I'll talk to him. Figure I ought to have some decent clothes. New shirts, at least. Seems fitting for a new town, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You look fine to me," she said, casting a critical eye over his clothes. And then realizing how that might have sounded. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"To pay me a compliment?" he joked. "Well now, I don't know if I can let you take it back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiesthatbind 2009-03-14 11:59 am UTC (link)
	"The compliment was intended," she said, shaking her head. "I just. Oh dear. I'm just going to be quiet now," she said, chuckling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dan leaned a little toward her and lowered his voice to say, "Conversation's bound to get boring if it's just me sitting over here rambling away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled at him. "I don't know, I might learn some interesting things if you just have to keep speaking." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	general_dan 2009-03-14 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	He straightened up. "Could just ask, too, if there's something you wanted to know. I got--I don't have many secrets." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiesthatbind 2009-03-14 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	She considered him for a moment. "Tell me something you miss," she said. "Now that you've been here for awhile." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	general_dan 2009-03-14 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	Dan thought about that for a moment, then answered, "The way morning smelled. Mama's biscuits." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiesthatbind 2009-03-14 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	"What was special about your mother's biscuits?" she asked with a smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They were just like eating air," he reported with a little grin. "Air with a side of butter." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sounds delicious!" she said. To her embarrassment, her stomach agreed and growled softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He tried not to laugh. His grin did widen. "Figure I could ask her to send the recipe over." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
