A question that she was more than pleased to answer, yet it felt like he wanted to say more. She let a gap of silence fill the air whist he fiddled with his napkin. Her expectancy of him wishing to talk more appeared to be incorrect and it was only she decided so that she answered. "I'm a prosecutor at the ministry."Possibly why she could be so harsh as to offending others. "What is it that you do?" By the looks of his sweater she assumed two possible options; either a position in some sort of education, or a boring office job of some sort and yet one that couldn't be too formal. This was all unless his dress differed for the work place.

Work had been busy, but it wasn't the only situation keeping her busy. She had other responsibilities, family responsibilities to keep it brief. "Yes there's a lot to do and I always feel the need to work hard. Wouldn't you say the same?" Hard workers were of her interest, and mostly because that should a person could have dedication and care towards something they enjoyed, or even did not enjoy.

This. Had. Just. Gotten. Awkward. Not to mention that the guilt train had just ridden over her too.

"I'm so sorry and here I was the whole time thinking that you we're a cheater." She had to explain herself, even if it wouldn't make much of a difference, it would ease her guilt conscience at the very least. "I saw you take of that ring outside and I assumed because I suppose I don't have high expectations of men and I'm sorry." Her eyesight was on him to show her authenticity. "So this is your first date since? This must be hard for you." A lot harder than for her.

An awkward silence.

Although all silences were awkward for Awkward!Howard.

Oh, the Law Department! How interesting! Howard listened quietly. “It must be a very varied line of work. You must meet some interesting folk.” He was relaxing the more they talked. What did he do? “I work at the Ministry too. In Accidents and Catastrophes.” As ironic as it sounded. “I'm a Potion Identification and Recovery Specialist.” Potions were Howard's forte. That and model building. He was very near finished his B17 replica which had taken a painstaking number of hours to complete. It would soon need painting! It was all very exciting. Much more exciting than this ol' dating thing.

It was good to work hard. “I hope you take s-some well earned breaks sometimes.” He commented. He would say the same.. if he didn't love being in his home so much. Shut away from the scary world. It was Howard's sanctuary. His little safe haven.

He didn't intend to make the young lady feel awkward.. although just being around Howard was enough to make one feed off his anxious vibes. She had asked the direct question also. One which's answer was unavoidable without having to lie.

A cheater? Howard's eyes widened. “O-oh.. N-no. My wife. I adored her, you see?” He cleared his throat. Did he really come across as a cheater? Merlin's socks. Her reasoning was understandable, however, but Howard still continued to fidget anxiously. Had something happened to her to lower her expectations of men? He refrained from asking. Too personal.

“I-I..” He stuttered but was saved from having to answer as the waiter came over to take their order. He gestured politely for Erin to go first. Ladies first.
