"Weeeeellll... I'm not sure about under the blanket" he replied. It was intended as a slightly dirty joke and a half truth. The surprises were hidden yes, but not under the picnic blanket.
Dan smiled and took his hand, moving to join him. "I did my best to make some of this feel like home for you" he said as he sat beside him. "Now, I don't know if I've actually managed or not but we'll see" he chuckled softly. "And it took quite a bit of research, believe me! Still, it was interesting. It's amazing how much gets lost in translation, I'm sure you can imagine" he smirked, reaching over to the basket to take a few items out. First the tea, the cups, two plates and then some of the food, which he laid out for them. It had all been placed on nice square shaped plates but wrapped in white paper and tied with string. It was about as creative as Dan got when it came to being romantic.
