"Sadie... that's kind of pretty," Oh, that. Her hands were soft, unlike his that developed some callouses over wrestling a rogue Tentacula as one of Valerie's tests among other gardening. But he at least washed them regularly. A small smile, "You sure? I could get you a nice meal... outside of here," No offense, nameless clerk, but this wasn't first date material.. But wait, did he ask her out on a date? "But if you've already forgiven me, we could cancel that," Well, Bob's your uncle.

Well, if it had been rhetorical, Sadie certainly was not picking up what all he was putting down. Hard to understand the nuances of someone you had just met, especially when you were distracted by the dreaded double H: hunger and hormones. "Everyone should," she stressed, her tone on the edge of serious as she dove right into a little speech as though she were still on the Hogwarts debate team. "Healthy ecosystems clean our water, purify our air, maintain our soil, regulate the climate, recycle nutrients and provide us with food among a cornucopia of other things. When you strip everything back to the bare bones, the truth of the matter is that human health and well-being is intimately linked to the state of the environment and, as an aspiring healing professional, it is likewise intimately linked to my career. So, yes, I would very much hope that you could get with me...that. Get with that."

He probably did not need to hear all that, but he had it anyway and he was quite welcome.

And, well, what could she say...she had a certain reluctant fondness for hard, well worked, and calloused hands. Even if they might come attached to a lackluster compliment - the bar was quite literally on the floor here so she would accept it. Though she had to admit to herself that she was quite shocked that this was going...well? Had she really just been asked out? Was this Curtis fellow honest to goodness reciprocating her flirtation? Again, the bar was literally on the floor and he needed just to tip toe over it to impress her. "On second thought," she replied with a slight pursing of the lips and slight shift of her weight between her feet. "The jury could use a bit more time reviewing all the evidence before making its decision. Rumor is spicy food is one way to sway the jury in your favor."
