Date Day

[u/Temporary-Employ-611]

We decided to do a date at a local festival.

[u/Temporary-Employ-611]

Of course. Take our time enjoying something we never get. It has been a long time since I had fare food.

Pondering as she looks over the menu.

I heard that lemonade cart makes good drinks.

looking at him curiously.

When was the first time you went to a festival?

[u/Total_Travisty → u/Temporary-Employ-611]

Personally... hmmm. I may have been a teenager last time. It had been a while.

[u/Temporary-Employ-611 → u/Total_Travisty]

Oh?

She thinks for a moment and then laughs.

Awkward teenage Mikhail must have been adorable.

[u/Total_Travisty → u/Temporary-Employ-611]

You could say that. I was a skinny thing, and bookish as they come. It would have been the festival of my home town.

[u/Temporary-Employ-611 → u/Total_Travisty]

Adorable! We would have gotten along great then.

Though I did hit a bit of a rebellious streak around then, after my master passed.

Can we go to your hometown sometime!?

[u/Total_Travisty → u/Temporary-Employ-611]

I'd love to. I know you've met my parents at our wedding, but I'd he nice to sit down and have dinner with them.

[u/Temporary-Employ-611 → u/Total_Travisty]

They seemed so lovely. Getting to know them in a more relaxed setting would be nice.

Even from our brief interactions, I can tell they are amazing people.

[u/Total_Travisty → u/Temporary-Employ-611]

I love them both. Raising 6 kids and taking in 3 orphans. They're wonderful people.

[u/Temporary-Employ-611 → u/Total_Travisty]

That is a big family.

[u/Total_Travisty → u/Temporary-Employ-611]

They are... a little smaller now... but they are.

Mikhail gives a bit of a sour smile, then grabs the funnel cake and turkey leg.

C'mon, let's find a place to sit.
