Arabella's smile widened. "Now that's not very nice." She teased, giggling softly. "You're so fun."

Asher chuckled. "Mm. Why thank you." He replied with a smile. The waiter came back and set their soups down in front of them, along with glasses of water.

She smiled at the soup, breathing in its smell with a happy hum. “Ah! It looks wonderful!”

The waiter smiled. "Enjoy, miss." He replied. He left.
Asher took a deep breath, and smiled at Arabella. "I'm sure it will taste as good as it looks." He replied.

She thanked the waiter shyly, giving him a warm smile before she relaxed and looked to Asher. She was uncomfortable around those she didn’t know. They scared her. “I hope so!”

(oh hey, just a heads-up: for the next like five days I'll be visiting my cousin for her birthday, so I won't be on as much)

Asher grinned. "It will." He ate a bit of his soup, smiling. "Ooh, it is good." He said, glancing at her for a moment.

(Ah, that’s alright! Have fun!)

She laughed softly, covering her mouth and smiling brightly. “Is it?” She asked playfully, trying some of her own soup. She closed her eyes excitedly and purred.

(Alright! Thanks, I will!)

He smiled at her reaction. "You like it, then?" he asked with a chuckle. He ate some more of his soup, watching her with a small smile.

“I love it~!” The small female chirped, savoring each spoonful of soup. She was a sucker for good tastes and often took a long time eating because of it.

Asher smiled again. "Well that's good." He replied. "I'm not sure what you would have eaten otherwise." He teased, still eating his own soup.

She giggled happily, smiling sweetly up at him. She winked and ate another spoonful, taking the chunks of potato happily into her small mouth. “I’m sure you would have helped me out~”

He laughed softly, watching her. "Fiiinne, maybe I would have." He agreed with a sigh. "But still. I'm glad you like it." (Gtg)

(Byyyee)

She smiled softly, reaching over to take his hand. “Thank you. You’ve been very kind to me today.”

Asher blinked, looking at her. "Oh. You're welcome." He replied softly, giving her a gentle smile.

She smiled back before releasing his hand and returning to her food. “Ah, have you ever had soup with a baguette for the side? It’s really good.” She said randomly.

He raised an eyebrow a little, eating a bit more soup before he replied, "Ah, no, can't say I have….why?" He looked at her quizzically.

“I just wondered. It’s really good. Especially with cream of broccoli soup. It’s very nice.” She hummed, trying to make small conversation.

He chuckled. "Ah, I see." He replied, eating some more soup. "Well, I'll have to try it someday. Oh! Also, I got the recipe for that dessert from last night. The one you really liked."

Her eyes lit up suddenly. “Oh the desert!?” She asked excitedly. “When may we have it?” Arabella tilted her head and leaned forwards in her seat.

Asher shrugged. "When do you want it?" He asked with a grin.

She laughed softly. “Everyday.” She joked. “May we have it tonight?”

He smiled. "Of course." He replied. "If you're sure." He raised an eyebrow teasingly.

She grinned and giggled. “I’m pretty sure, Asher.” Came the soft response, a small smile upon her features.

He smiled, and kept eating his soup. "Alright then. If you're sure." He said again, chuckling.

"I'm always sure when it comes to desert." She winked and smiled down at her soup, trying to hold back her giggles. He was so fun when he was playful like this.
