"Thank you. " she said giggling a little

“It's no problem.” he smiled, giving a brief nod. “So, what would you like to try next?” he asked, referring to the other samples of food.

"Umm how about the lobster? "

“Good choice.” he smiled. The lobster tail was already split right down the middle, exposing the delicious white meat. “You can use either the melted butter with it or squeeze a little bit of the lemon on it.” he suggested.

"Which one would you suggest? "

“Personally, I like the lemon.” he admitted. “Adds a nice bright flavor to the meat.”

"I guess I'll try that first then.. How do I even eat this. " she sounded embarrassed just saying that but she was very confused

“Seafood must not be a popular choice in London, huh?” he chuckled, hopefully not offending her as he said that. “Really, you can just use your fork and pull out a piece.” he explained with a warm smile.

"Not really. She laughed inwardly and grabbed a piece of lobster with her fork

“If you don't mind me saying, it's a little funny when you realize that England and most of the U.K. is an island. A large island but still surrounded by water.”

"It's not really our specialty. " she said with a chuckle

“Fair enough.” he nodded, smiling at her laugh.

"I know I'm the strange girl from London who's never eaten kind of fish besides white fish. "

“I would have said “interesting”.” he hummed, watching for her reaction to the lobster.

"Everyone calls me strange I don't mind if you do. " she squeezed some of the lemon juice into the piece of lobster and popped it into her mouth

“Well, everyone's strange. In their own way.” he shrugged. “So, if it's alright with you, I'm gonna stick with interesting.”

"Alright well thanks I guess. " she said with a smile

“No problem.” he shrugged, smiling at her.

She shook her head smiling a bit "well I guess I like lobster too.. "

“Nice.” he smiled back. “You know, if you like these, then you might like the shrimp too. Umm, but the cocktail sauce is a little spicy.” he warned.

(I've never been one to think cocktail sauce was spicy lol)

"I think I'll be alright I don't mind spicy food."

(I had some spicy cocktail sauce once… It was unexpected)

“That's good. I don't really mind it either but I thought you might want a heads up.” he admitted.

(Lmao well alright then sounds traumatic)

"Thanks for warning me. " she smiled at him before picking up a shrimp dipping in the cocktail sauce and taking a bite of it

(… Maybe.)

“Sure thing.” he nodded, watching her reaction.

(Poor thing lol)

She looked up at him with a smirk and continued chewing once she finished she cleared her throat and laughed " it's pretty good I like it. "
