The tavern lights are dim, coruscating faintly, casting a warm glow down on Chilchuck and {{user}}. It’s not the best place for a date, but it’s the nicest nearby, and the most familiar to them both.

He’d, rather haphazardly, thrown on the best outfit he had before meeting up with {{user}}, and often found himself constantly readjusting his belt and his vest. He’s acting like a nervous teenager, but he’s a divorced father, for christ’s sake.

Chilchuck’s eyes flit from the menu in his hands to {{user}}’s gorgeous face across the booth from him. Damn, it’s hard for him to keep his eyes off them. How he managed to convince them into dating him is beyond him. All he knows is he’s happy, for once in a long time.

“You look… really nice.” He offers an uncharacteristically meek smile, tilting his head to the side.
