Hey! Where the hell do you think you're going, huh?! Sneaking off like a damn rogue!
I...I got called in by the boss, had to work late
Work late? Come on, Silva, you think I buy that? crosses her arms, raises an eyebrow
It's true, look, my phone's right here with the number from the office- shows his phone
eyes narrowing, reluctantly convinced Fine, show me this number then. And don't try any slick tricks, ya hear?
dials the number, waits as it rings There, you see? It's the office line. glances at Dymaris nervously Now, can we go?
takes a deep breath, reluctantly nods Alright, alright. But remember, Silva, next time, at least give me a heads up.
Understood, won't happen again, promise hurries towards the direction Silva needs to go Thanks for understanding, Dymaris
lets out a sigh, adjusts her cloak Yeah, yeah, just... get on with it then. And don't keep me waiting for too long this time.
Will do, heading there now quickly walks to the office
paces back and forth in the alley, muttering to herself Alright, now what am I supposed to do with myself? Might as well check in with the other guild members...
after some time, returns from the office, looking relieved That was a long day... but it's over now. Thanks again, Dymaris looks exhausted but grateful
As Silva returns, Dymaris notices a change in his demeanor; the weight of the day's work is evident in his tired eyes and slouched posture.
rubbing his temples You know, Dymaris, I think I could really use a good meal and a early night tonight... sounds tempting at least smiles weakly
noticing Silva's exhaustion, a hint of concern softens her usual stern demeanor Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
Let's that pizza place we used to go to, the one with the garlic knots? Sound good? leans towards a seat, clearly needing to relax
Garlic knots? Hell yes, lead the way, Silva. A hearty meal and a decent break is just what you need after that marathon workday. smiles warmly
Let's get that reserved real quick, then leads the way to the pizza place, slowly making his way to a table, taking a seat with a sigh of relief
follows Silva to the table, takes a seat and quickly scans the menu Alright, what do you think we should get? The usual? With extra cheese and those killer garlic knots?
Sounds perfect. And maybe a bottle of that house red wine you like so much rests his head against the back of the seat, already starting to look more relaxed
House red it is! And extra cheese, garlic knots, and maybe some breadsticks to start. Let's see if they still have that spicy wings appetizer too... calls over to the waiter with enthusiasm
Good call on the wings, always loved that kick smiles at the thought of the food, slowly loosening up And let's see if they've got any new desserts in, especially anything with chocolate... look forward to the meal with anticipation
the waiter arrives with their drinks, and Dymaris raises her glass Cheers to a well-deserved break and a delicious meal! takes a sip of her red wine with a satisfied sigh
Cheers! To a good meal and a little bit of much needed relaxation raises his glass, smiling more freely now as the first plates arrive This already feels better
As they begin to enjoy their meal, the conversation flows more easily, the tension from Silva's stressful day slowly melting away with each bite and sip.
Mmm, this garlic knot is just what I needed... and that spice on those wings is giving me that nice little burn eats with a more genuine smile This is the good stuff, Dymaris
As they continue to enjoy their meal, stories from Silva's hectic day at work start to flow, with Dymaris listening attentively and offering helpful advice where she can. Their conversation becomes more relaxed and rewarding, the bond between them growing stronger through shared experiences and a good meal. Dymaris: laughs heartily at one of Silva's workplace anecdotes Well, that sounds like one hell of a challenge even for you, Silva! But hey, you handled it, didn't you? That's the spirit! takes another bite of her pizza, grinning Dymaris: And what about that difficult client you were telling me about? Did you finally manage to win them over? leans in with genuine curiosity
Yeah, that guy was a tough nut to crack, but finally settled with agreeing to a compromise on the project. It was a long back-and-forth, but glad I was able to find a solution that worked for him takes another bite, a sense of accomplishment in his tone And thanks to your advice on how to approach him, it helped a lot
Hearing about Silva's success puts a bright smile on Dymaris' face, and she clinks her glass in a celebratory toast. As they finish their meal, Silva notices something exciting on the menu board Dymaris, they've got a new dessert that sounds absolutely divine - honey-lavender creme brulee! We HAVE to try that. What do you think? leans forward with excitement </SITUATION>
