Pyralis removed his hat and harp and set it aside. He ran a hand through his silver hair and looked to her with a smile. Perhaps he had gone too far with the song? He should of known that a reserved girl like this wouldn't like the dramatic flair but he truthfully believed opposites would attract. It wasn't too late still though as she was willing to sit and have a meal with him.Â

As she spoke he began to glance at the menu he was familiar with. He smiled softly and spoke gently, "I suppose I can see what opportunities are available here to me. It's nice to get away from a place that is full of sand or a place that is just full of forest. This city...is beautiful. I always dreamed of living in a beautiful place surrounded by water."

He forced himself to blush as he put the menu down. He face palmed and shook his head, "My lady...I am so sorry to have performed like that in public. Here I am desperate to make the best impression I can for you when I should just be myself." He sighed and slumped slightly looking a bit ashamed.

Jingi's upper body relaxed. Her smile became less strained, and more natural -- though it yet harbored a hint of shyness. "Limsa Lominsa is one place best visited; it loses some of its charm once you've lived here for a spell, though I suppose it would be better should you have a surfeit of money."

Her confidence made a second bid, and she leaned forward over her menu. "Do you always try your best to impress women you've just met in new cities?"

One thing about restaurants: whenever things got awkward the menu (or food, once it arrived) was there to hide behind.

Pyralis looked to her with a smile, still a touch of redness to his cheeks, â€œTwelve no. Itâ€™s just, well, do you believe in fate at all? I mean what are the chances Iâ€™m walking in the middle of the night, staring stupidly at my map, and run into a beautiful woman? If that isnâ€™t a sign of something with great potential, may the twelve continue to bless me with ignorance.â€

He pulled up the menu to cover the lower part of his face so only his violet eyes were exposed to her.

I wonder if I should order the lobster or clams? Wait are clams the aphrodisiac? Lobster it is.

He glanced at her with his violet eyes to gaze her reaction.

Somewhere, deep down, Jingi had a soft spot for romance. She blushed at his words, trying to maintain the officious aura that she'd kept up for the past . . . several years. It was hard not to. That was how she'd kept herself separate from the often clumsy approaches of men who were, occasionally, too drunk to realize she was not on that side of the floor in Jaded.

She glanced up, saw his eyes, quickly looked away.

"I um. . .well, you know. . ." She was flustered. Twelve save her, she was worse than a thirteen year old girl the first time a boy paid attention to her. "Your music really was quite lovely! Have you ever performed in plays?" Her voice was bright, natural.

Only an idiot wouldn't catch that topic switch, Jingi. You're sooooo smooth.

She forced a small giggle.

That probably wasn't a good idea either.

She busied herself with the menu. "The seafood is always so fresh," she added, words coming too quickly for casual.

She hoped the floor opened up and swallowed her.

Pyralis blinked a few times and let out a soft laugh, â€œIâ€™m glad to see Iâ€™m not the only one nervous. Yes, let us talk of lighter things! I grew up a musician, my parents; Twelve bless them, were performers as well. I guess you can say that I learnt from them. They put me in plays as a child and I guess it kind of just grew on me. What about you? What do you do? Do you enjoy it?â€
Â
He glanced at the menu and tilted his head, â€œIâ€™m thinking of getting the seafood actuallyâ€¦â€
Â
Â

I swear if she laughs or giggles one more timeâ€¦

"You absolutely can't go wrong with the seafood," Jingi said, leaning forward. She looked back down at the menu, thinking about his prior statements. "That sounds like an exciting thing, for a child. I cannot say mine was terribly exciting. My father was a scribe, and my mother an eccentric -- officially, she was a recordskeeper, but she was always given to her fancies. Oh, how I hated her ideas of excursions. I swore I would be nothing like her, but here I am, keeping records and managing numbers." She chuckled. The sound was slightly more bearable than her giggling had been. "I suppose I enjoy it, though it feels more as if it calls to me more than something I would do for fun in my free time." She considered. "Contrarily, it eats my time. I suppose there isn't much I do for fun, after all -- just managing books."

She gestured to the table, including Pyralis in her sweep. "This is the first time I've eaten with someone who isn't a colleague in years."

She looked up at him, smiled. It was a sweet sort of smile.
