I Hope She Is Not Too Bad

"So...what are you going to do now?" Aleksis asked.

Rune smiled at Aleksis' question. He shrugged and answered. "I will come to the blind date. The children have been punished for what they did. I am sorry to see them being punished without getting anything out of it. Besides ... they do this out of love for me."

"Oh ... when and where is the date?" Aleksis asked attentively. 

"Tomorrow at 8 pm in a cafe in East Village," said Rune. "The kids have already made the reservation and such."

"What's the girl like?" asked Aleksis again. "Do you want us to come with you? Sometimes Alaric and I go out on dates too, you know. And, it seems like we haven't had a drink in the East Village in a while."

"What? You want to come too?" Rune asked in puzzlement. "Wouldn't that be too excessive? I'm just going to meet up with her briefly and have dinner with the girl just as a courtesy. It's not like a real date on my part. So, you really don't need to spy on me."
