[ There's the buzz of a full and rowdy bar in the background, and Gojyo, abashed, lowers his voice. This isn't a conversation that the patrons need to be listening in on. ]
I wasn't, until I was talking to him and he brought up his supposedly terrible luck in romance.
[And then she thought hey, what a coincidence, I know two idiots who are showing interest in that sort of thing and then not long after she regretted ever bringing it up.]
If you don't want to go, I'll cancel it, I don't know how keen he is anyway.
[ He actually has to take the phone away from his mouth and set it down, so that he's got both hands free to rub his face with. He's way too sober to be having this conversation. ]
He's not keen on datin' me, or not keen on datin' in general?
He's fine with dating in general, apparently. [He was fucking sparkling when he thought he'd scored a date with Sharak.] I think it's the "stranger he's never met" part he's less crazy about. He'll get over that when he sees you.
[If she could manage it without even trying, a handsome guy like Gojyo shouldn't have any trouble, she thinks. God, she hopes this works.]

He has a pretty face, which was the only thing you asked for. Are you going to complain?

[ It was the most passive compliment ever, but he's gonna take what he can get! ]

So what's his name, this blond with a pretty face?
