I'd still know you, not being shown you, I only need the working of my hands
Nerds indeed; despite having not even kissed Isla hello (Ever, too, was concerned where it might lead), the aviator thought the date was going quite well already. Perhaps discussing the challenges and opportunities of living in a floating city wouldn't be what most would choose for their first date banter, Everest was utterly delighted by Isla's questions and observations, answering them eagerly when he could and applauding her brilliance when he couldn't.
"Wow." Not making an effort to take his own chair, instead Everest all but clutches Isla's coat between his hands as he stares at her in stunned silence. Trying to keep his stare polite (though gods, the way it hugged her curves in all the right places it was hard to find anywhere to look that didn't set his heart racing), eventually as someone tried to get passed, he was forced to pick his jaw off the floor. "Sorry, it's just..." Taking a breath, he offers her an apologetic smile before sitting as well. "You look wonderful tonight."
A touch breathless and obviously distracted Ever cleared his throat and did his best to focus on the menu. "They are known for their LongNight platter." He taps his finger on his menu that Isla might see for herself. "It's a variety of things they cultivate all year round, and offer only this week. They offer wine pairings with it as well."
