After regaining his composer from the sudden sneak attack Opal quickly adapted changing to a poker face until they were alone. Only after she left did he, at last, deflate in his seat now wondering if this was a good idea. He knew his aunt was a gossip queen and was sure even his sister who was all the way out in the wilds of Mistral would hear about his new “girlfriend” by the end of the day. Having spotted Chloro's reaction during their talk he felt a bit bad about the misunderstanding. It was one thing for him to deal with it, but he didn’t want someone he just met to have to deal with such an awkward situation.
Shaking his head, he held his hand up so Chloro could see. “No, she doesn’t.” Or at least he didn’t believe she did. She was sort of weird in that way, always surprising him with just how much she really knew about subjects. “I’m sorry about this. She can be a bit nosy, but she means well.” He just sighs as he gave his friend time to read but sat back up when she started to sign again. Asking him to pick someone for her as she didn’t know what to get.
Now that he thought about it maybe it was rude of him to put her on the spot like that. Getting up he leans forward closer to the girl to look at the menu with her as he pointed at a few things. “Well then since we’ll in a pub can’t go wrong with a burger. It’s nothing fancy, but it pretty damn good.” He said as his fingers landed on the order, tapping it a few times. It was what he was getting so he could attest to it at least. So, with orders in mind, he waved and quickly put their orders in for burgers.
As they waited, he peeked over at Chloro wondering again about her back. “How your back doing? Is it still hurting?” He asked a bit concern in his voice. The cuts haven’t had been too deep, but still. It never hurt to be too safe with back injuries.
