The woman gave a half-nod, then thought for a second. A very brief second, for Elinor had almost no premeditation or time to think about what she was about to say. She looked up at him with warm but stern eyes. She wasn't asking-- she was telling.

"Only so long as you let me make you dinner sometime."

Bam. Done. Couldn't take them back now-- not that she would even if she wanted to. It was high time they cracked on with their... re...lation...ship. Even if Elinor had to think of the word in strange syllables, they did have a relationship. She may have been coming across as a little pushy, but, if she knew Nigel as well as she thought, it was the kind of pushiness he could take. She knew the man she was madly in love with was new to being madly in love with anyone. One step at a time-- And it was time for the next step.

She continued to stare up at him, smiling softly, awaiting his reaction to her terms.

He was so handsome...

The potions master wasn't even sure the answer he gave was anything like Elinor had expected from her question, her words almost seeming half-rhetoric. He watched and waited for her reaction and it was his turn to be taken back by her counter-offer. The lab director's condition for accepting his own suggestion.

Nigel met her eyes with his own when she looked up, the man noticing the look she held within her colored orbs and raising any eyebrow at her offer. Sure they were technically in a relationship and had eaten together even once or twice before hand, but this was new. This was him being allowed into the more private area of her home...at least that was where he safely assumed she would be cooking him dinner. They had always conducted their...meetings in his shop or somewhere public.

Should he agree? Was it too much?

"Alright...its a deal," he finally agreed, his expression returning to normal with an ever so soft smile and holding out a hand to Elinor for her to take. You can do this, Garrettson, he kept telling himself as he dealt with all the new experiences. It was worth it.
