Re: Alfred Jones & Octavia Blake
What a fun and great way to meet new people! Alfred was delighted, and he sat eagerly across from his date and greeted her with a cheerful "Hey!" before he registered her expression. He wasn't known for being able to read the atmosphere, as his friends often said, but he knew enough to pick up on that body language.
"Everything okay?" He blinked at her from behind his glasses, then cracked a sheepish smile and looked down at himself. "It's the bowtie, ain't it? I was thinkin', hey, the dorky look is in these days, right? But maybe it's too much!"
