Usually I have better manners, but it’s been - chaotic.

[what a month.]

Do you want to come over for dinner sometime? I’m a better cook than I am a gentleman.

[ that voice — hearing it out of nowhere shouldn't have the effect that it does, but for the briefest instant she's called right back to that stage. ]

An outlier in more than one way, I'm sure.

[ there's the slightest hint of amusement across the connection. ]

You already made quite the early chivalrous impression, so my expectations are rather high at this point.

No pressure, then. It’s a limited menu, usually, but I can do requests.

Then would you be offended if I made no request other than the pleasure of your company?

I’d be deeply flattered.

I suppose the next natural question is whether you need me to bring anything.

Just yourself. Unless you have a preference for wine that isn't red?

If it isn’t red, is it even wine worth drinking?

I knew there was a reason we got along.

It took the wine for you to figure that out?

I was trying to be polite, Yennefer.

… oh.

[ can you tell she’s not used to politeness? ]

It takes the wine to make me less polite, for the record.

To a degree, I’d argue we’re somewhat past “polite,” wouldn’t you?

Well - [with some amusement, and a level of embarrassment,] Yeah, I suppose so. I'm not really sure what the post-festival etiquette is.

Well, if it helps, I'd say we're well on our way to finding out.

So. We have a date?

Choose the night and it’s settled.

How about Sunday, in that case?

I'll be there. With an extra bottle of wine, should we need it.
