In the end, Ronan chose a place that wasn't too expensive or too high-class, but one where it also wasn't out of place to dress in something a little nicer than jeans and a tank-top. Even two years out of Aglionby hadn't endeared Ronan to wearing a fucking tie so he didn't quite go that far, but did dress in a nicer pair of slacks and a white buttoned-up shirt that he kept loose up by the neck so he didn't feel he was being strangled.

And a blazer he'd dreamt a few weeks ago, the fabric undefinable but comfortable and sleek.

The dinner was paid for entirely in money he'd earned at Graymark, money he'd tried telling Luke he didn't really need but Luke insisted on giving him. It was more than enough to cover anything he and Adam might want, even when Ronan asked for another round of wine.

"Thought we could go for a walk or something after this," he said, dropping his hands to fidget with the napkin in his lap and trying not to stare at Adam's face in the low light for too long, the cast of shadows across his cheekbones and the purse of his lips. Jesus, when had he turned into such a fucking lovesick asshole? "Or we can just go back to Cabeswater. Or Hywel," he added because that felt important. It was Adam's decision, really. "Everyone else is out at that party, aren't they?"

Adam can't help looking at that jacket, at all of Ronan really, but he's especially caught by the sleek fabric that holds to Ronan's form and looks as if it cost thousands of dollars. Even when Ronan conjures from dreamstuff, he always looks expensive and Adam can't stop watching it.

He doesn't comment when Ronan orders more wine, has to admit he sort of likes how it looks on the table between them. They spend so much time together, informal and comfortable, that going on a Date in any capacity feels special. Ronan's chosen well; the restaurant is definitely a step up from what they usually do but not so far up that either of them feel put on a gallows.

It's them and Adam lets Ronan cover the bill, just this once.

"I'd guess so. I know Blue's got friends going." Adam had bowed out this time and isn't sorry that he had.
