She was just about to stab her fork into the sushi. She looked up at him and tilted her head a bit.

"Is this the context of our conversation?" She suddenly asked. "Or are you just bringing it up as a side talk?"

Devon didn't know what she meant by that, but if she wanted to know if this was why he wanted to talk, then he guessed it was a yes.

"I believe it's the context." He said and she nodded.

"Hm, I see." And finally, she stabbed the innocent sushi.

They stared at her, and Devon, in particular, wondered what that reaction was about. Was it a good thing? Could he continue speaking?
