Though he knew Lina didn't care for spicy things, there were fried veggies and cheese sticks on the platter as well. He would take care of everything 'hot'. "I dunno, I am going to be stuck eating all this hot stuff," Brendin mused, "I might be too numb to kiss for the rest of the night." He was so teasing. SO teasing; cause he would take every opportunity to kiss her whenever she wanted him to. Brendin pointed at the platter, "Seriously, you better help me here, Ms. Menounous."
They talked and ate and teased each other for the next twenty minutes; every once in a while one of them pointing out a boat or something that caught their eye out on the water. Finishing off the last bite of his salad, Brendin closed the container and set it aside to be thrown away. "So, I guess I should open my present now?"
