deep blue, but you painted me golden

Got no plans and I've got no money
Gone are the days of milk and honey

In truth, Soh had no expectations for this evening except to hopefully clear the air - but that required her to be up front with her feelings, which she was not particularly adept at doing. Instead, she avoided the topic that she so desperately wanted to broach, clinging to the lighthearted and playful in place of something that could bring down the mood. I'll ask when there's a good moment, she told herself - never mind that such a moment might never come, as far as she was concerned.

At Zavien's sheepish smile, Soh wrinkled her nose playfully. "I'm certain that you won't, she told him warmly. If anyone was going to disappoint tonight, she was positive that it was going to be her.

Though thankfully, it wouldn't be with her cooking. She laughed at Zavien's teasing, shaking her head ruefully. "I am so excited to try the food - steak is not among the things I am confident in my ability to cook without burning, so..." Glancing down at the menu as though just now realizing it was there, Soh caught a glimpse of their waitress hovering in the background. Biting back a laugh, she leaned forward, her quiet murmur pitched just for Zavien's ears. "Speaking of which, we should probably order and put our poor waitress out of her misery."

Green eyes and a head of gold
I'll give you two dollars if you save my soul
