In the middle of his introspection, she poked his nose and earned a quizzical look in return for it. Dressed up and in a fantastic mood, he might have argued that it was going wonderfully already. If getting to go out at all with him was a win then that condition might have been filled but, even so... he was an overachiever. A glance down the street and he caught sight of a few garish signs. Sales, events. Plenty to fill a couple hours of time when plenty to spare for groceries.]
