I of course noticed her glance and wondered if she was worried about a curfew. While I could not just do as I willed all of the time, I sometimes forgot I had a few more freedoms than an adept with a unfinished marque.
I frowned at Avrielle in a slightly exaggerated manner and asked, "must you leave soon?"

I looked at the clock again. "I'm expected back in half an hour or so, but it's a ten, fifteen minute walk back," I said. "I'll be sorry to go." I slipped out before I could stop myself, and for a moment, my fingertips flew to my lips.

I smiled at Avrielle's slip up. I had always suspected she liked me and now she had confirmed it. I didn't know to what extent, but I didn't really care. I liked the idea, but I was not in the mood for a girlfriend. In fact, I had never had a real relationship with anyone and I wasn't looking to change that. The closest I ever came was my strange relationship with Yvan.
I took Avrielle's other fingers down, away from her mouth and said, "I will walk you back to your House." I decided then that I would contract Avrielle, though I had not brought the money with me today. I had not contracted an adept in quite a while so I felt that I could invest the money. I also decided that I needed to put more effort into finding a method of income that was much better than that of an adept.

"Really?" I asked, trying not to look too incredulous. Idaeus always seemed so...immovable, the fact that he was walking me back to my house (presumably because I wanted him to) was a bit surprising. Still, I was very pleased. "Thank you, I'll be glad for your company."

I finished my drink and waited for her to finish hers. "Whenever you are ready," I said. "We shouldn't let you get into trouble, especially not on my account." I thought of some of the exchanges I had with the do'wayne of Valerian in the past. That is one Valerian that I would love to get my hands on, but probably never would.

I sipped down the last of my juice. "I'm ready," I said, moving to gather my parcels.

I stood up and waited for Avrielle to be ready. I put the correct amount of money for both of our drinks and a small tip. The server was no one special, nor did he go out of his way so it was the basic minimum.
When she had her things I gestured toward the door and said, "after you."

I almost protested when he paid for my drink; I had a few coins of my own. Still, I thought better of it, and was flattered that he thought of me. "Thank you," I said as I made my way to the door, "for the drink."

I shrugged my shoulders. It wasn't exactly the most expensive place in town. "It is no big deal," I said as I lead her out the door.

I thought about taking his arm, but thought better of it. "Let's go then," I said, smiling softly.
