Birthday Not-Date (That Totally Is a Date)

[asaviorshand]

🧙 WHO: Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, Jean Gunnhildr, and maybe a cameo from a third party
⚔️️ WHAT: Jean's birthday was March 14. Dimitri wants to treat her to a meal as a gift now that the weather is getting nicer.
🕒 WHEN: Late April - early May
🗺️ WHERE: Patio dining at a nice restaurant
⚠️ WARNINGS: Dorks

[Now that the weather had gotten much nicer, it was time to finally make that dinner out with Jean he promised for her birthday a reality. He and Jean picked out a date and time, and Dimitri placed a reservation at a fine restaurant with patio seating. He also bought some new clothes for the occasion -- navy blue dress pants and a matching jacket, with a white shirt underneath. It had taken him some time to find something nice that would also fit over his muscular form, but in the end he managed to get something that fit comfortably. No tie, though. He couldn't stand it.

Dimitri happens to arrive at the restaurant first. Realizing he was still early, he chooses to simply wait outside the entrance for his date -- sorry, his friend -- to arrive.

For some reason, he feels nervous. And he's not really sure why.]

[Seeing Jean smile like that flusters Dimitri a little bit. He tries his best to not show it, but he can't stop at least some color from flushing into his cheeks. The bigger effect is the butterflies in his stomach, but he keeps his mouth shut about those.]

A-ah, yes. And I with you.

[He clears his throat as he tries to think of something else to say. Too bad Byleth isn't here to provide him with subjects...]

So, ah. Has there been anything new in your life as of late?

[She shakes her head.]

Not as of late. I've mostly been keeping to myself, especially since most of my friends went away.

I do need to find more things to do, being so sedentary is getting to me.

[She looks at him again.]

How about yourself?

[Dimitri develops a look of concern on his face at the mention of Jean's friends disappearing. That's not an easy thing to cope with. It eases, though, when she mentions getting more active. He could certainly help with that.]

Mostly work and training, though I'm still taking time to study. The blacksmith I was working for also disappeared, but I've been able to continue weapon appraisals on my own. Admittedly, I've also had a lot to think about regarding information about my own home -- but I can only do so much about that here.
