[Bewilderment gives way to wonder, turning to glance up curiously at his reply. As cool and composed as he is, she wouldn't have figured him to enjoy lavish events; as he said, it was "for business". But to be ordered to attend...that just adds another layer of intrigue.]
What do you do?
[She asks, on a whim, watching his expression. The atmosphere had struck her as romantic, before, with fireflies casting a dim glow and feeling so secluded from the rest of the world—but now, it feels only slightly cold and vacant, without a hand to hold or a warm shoulder to rest against, having a conversation which is just as odd as the man before her.
She should have gone inside, long ago: it is surely an obscene hour, so early into the morning it is indistinguishable from night. If not for the intrusion, she would have fled to wait in the comfort of indoors. But this far into their little talk, it would be brutish to leave without notice, and—and, she likes the frank cadence of his voice.
She has so very few friends, these days, she thinks she wouldn't mind just one more.]
