Two. A dinner and a salad fork. I would not be cross if you do not wish for the latter, though I have learned how to make a delicious dressing.

[ she could set out a whole ass wide placement of utensils for the most formal setting one can imagine, but. daphne knows not everyone's about that high society dinner party lifestyle. ]

[treading_water]

How do I know which is which?

[Clearly this man has experienced TRAUMA involving fine dining and silverware.]

[sheening]

The salad fork will be smaller and is farthest from the plate. I could also tell you, before we eat.

Or.
You may use whichever fork you prefer.

[ the ton would be affronted at her suggestion! ]

[treading_water]

This a set up?

[sheening]

[ well that gives her pause. ]

Certainly not.
I have found that this device is fair for stumbling upon making new friends.
I am only taking the opportunity to do so, by offering to prepare a dinner for us to enjoy together, if you are amenable.

[treading_water]

Yeah, alright.

There a catch?

[sheening]

There is not.
I live in a home with my sister and her boyfriend, in the Up. They are out often enough. So it may be only us.

You need only tell me what sort of food you like to eat.
Other than raw turtle.

Is it weird if I don't know the answer to that question? I've been living off booze, reptiles, fish, crabs... and fucking marmalade for so long, I'll eat anything.

[sheening]

With that being the case, no, it is not weird at all. I shall simply make what I like for us, then.

You may choose a time and day, and I shall be happy to have you over.

[treading_water]

Whenever you want. i have fuckall to do.

[sheening]

This weekend then.
Friday evening, 6pm?

[treading_water]

Yeah sure.

You sure there's no dress code? I've never been invited to dinner anywhere.

[sheening]

As long as you come dressed, that it all that concerns me.

I will say that most of my wardrobe is from my home in London, but what I am wearing is not indicative of what I expect of you. I, in fact, have no expectations regarding that.

[ other than coming in, like, pants and a shirt at least, please! she has a roomie who likes to wander around in various states of undress, and the scandal is still unreal sometimes. ]

[treading_water]

I don't know that my wardrobe from home is going to be well accepted by anyone who keeps a turtle as a pet.

I'll get help.

[sheening]

Mister Dibbles’ true owner does not dress up on the regular, either.

Very well.
Please do let me know if you require any aid from me, or if you have any other questions.
I look forward to formally meeting you.

[treading_water]

Is that the fucking turtle.

Nevermind. It's fine. I'll be there.

[sheening]

I shall see you then, Blackbeard.

[ of course mister dibbles has a name that suits him perfectly!!!! ]
