WHO: Sydney Sage and Simon Tam WHAT: Dinner Picnic Date on the beach WHEN: Sunday evening WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Closed, Incomplete
The invitation to share dinner with Simon was unexpected, but Sydney found that she was pleased by it. He was an attractive man and seemed very kind and gentle. Despite her having encountered him in rather... intimate circumstances, they were building a friendship and Sydney was a little surprised that he was asking her on what she assumed to be a date. Given the age difference, she would have expected that he wouldn't be interested. Of course, she was a lot more mature than most eighteen year olds because of the way she was raised, so it was possible he didn't realize just how young she was.
She wished that she had more options for clothing, but opted for her sole sundress and let her hair hang in loose waves around her shoulders when she headed to the beach to meet him. "Good evening," she said, offering a friendly smile when she arrived. "This looks very nice."
Picnics weren't really a thing for her family and Sydney wasn't really the type of person who generally enjoyed eating outdoors regardless, but since arriving here she was learning to appreciate new experiences like this. Coming here had done wonders for loosening her up and breaking her out of her shell. Her father and the rest of the Alchemists would be horrified.
