Zavien
Glad to hear that Soh was on board with the plan, Zavien glanced down at their nearly empty plate to assess. A few stray vegetables and half a biscuit remained, the steak having long met its end. He smiled, somehow perfectly content with the amount of food they'd eaten. "I agree."
His eyes searched the wall for their waitress, catching her eye to politely call her back to their table. Smiling, he asked without preamble, "Could we get whatever chocolate desserts you have? To go? And the check, please?" She nodded her head, confirming that they were okay with coffee flavors before retreating to the kitchen to gather their food. It wasn't long before she returned with two bags in her hands. "This one has the chocolate mousse with peppermint bark and the tiramisu in it. This one has the chocolate cake." Verbalizing his appreciation, Zavien paid the lovely waitress and left a generous tip before gathering their food. She smiled at them, eyes gleaming with something knowing and unsaid as she watched them leave. "Enjoy the rest of your night." Zavien graciously accepted the well wishes and guided Soh back through the tables towards the front where she could gather her things.
Once everything was in hand and in order, he opened to door into the chilly night air, ready to lead them back towards his place to collect the picnic supplies. The smile he gave Soh was beaming, excited to know the night was only just beginning as he asked her, "Ready?"
