auriel didn't seem to be too bothered by his statement even though he regretted it. " good. " she nodded once at bruce. upon being asked that question, auriel let a small nervous smile overtake her features. " maybe because i cried in front of you the first time we met each other? though, it could be something else. " the nervousness faded from her smile soon enough and was replaced with something... reassuring. auriel met the other's eyes as she spoke up, " hey, cheer up. i thought it was funny; i was only teasing with the little head-shake i did. " her right leg started to bounce up and down as a sort of nervous energy seemed to return to her. " really? i mean, i just didn't want to assume because, as the phrase goes: 'assuming makes an asshole out of you and me.' but if you want to pay for me... i won't stop you. though, i most definitely will be paying you back for the meal once i get a job, alright? "
// ; aww -- well, now you're gonna make me root for him LOL nah, i don't mean that in a bad way or anything, because i still think it's rather cute (': but dang. all i have to say is auriel is still going through a lot mentally, so she may be kind of distant during the date... but just know it's not his fault lmao i'm sure he'll do fine, though, right? i love the concept of him being happy about it though GAHHH
