"Mmm… is this really going to be your treat?"
"Of course," Darenn answered, handing her her own silverware. "You don't have the currency of our realm. I have to do the honors.
"O-oh…"
The thought hadn't thought Kalista's mind, making her see herself slightly as a fool as she started slicing her pork into small pieces.
"I hadn't thought of that… yeah, you're right."
And with that, the two of them started eating, already excited to taste the food as they wait for Moler to arrive once he had finished his important business.
As they ate, however, Kalista remembered the recent talk that they had only moments ago—about Darenn's change because of the influence of a great woman who turned out to be his former Summoner and also his lover, Hyacinth.
Kalista didn't know why, but she found herself very curious about her—very curious of how they are as a couple.
