( She almost corrected him, but stopped herself just before she could. The returned formality could have easily been habit...or there was some underlying meaning to it. Like perhaps Hakkai was attempting to distance himself from the intimate moment they shared. And who could blame him? having sex with a stranger under the effects of an aphrodisiac after who knows how long without release? The clarity afterwards was probably jarring.
Or maybe she was overthinking things and he was just being polite. Either way, she didn't call him out for it. Yet.)
Yes, of course. ( Clearing the air was half the reason she had called him to begin with. The other half being the desire to actually get to know him. It was so odd to wander past the beach and think of him and the minimal time they spent together, while being fully aware that she did not know him at all. ) I am free now, if you are. There is a Cafe - the Steaming Carafe. Do you know of it? I can meet you there, unless you have a preference otherwise.
