[As they enter, he does take a glance around to take in the atmosphere and decor, but he follows readily when Aerith picks out one of the booths, seating himself across from her. He slides one of the menus over to his side of the table, but he doesn't quite look at it just yet.]
Bet the chief back home would take you off guard, then. Dude always tries to play it cool and acts like he's chaperoning a bunch of kids, but the moment you put something sweet in front of him, suddenly he's the kid in the candy shop.
[ Aaron, please!! She's a sweet, innocent lady. You can't say stuff like that in front of her!
Well. She doesn't seem that bothered, actually. ]
But he can drive a motorcycle. He can even use his sword while he's on it. [ That's not a euphemism. ] We had a whole chase through the city once and he fought off soldiers trying to pursue us. I've never seen anyone actually swing a huge sword while driving like that before. It was kinda cool.
[Aerith not kicking up a fuss about his language is why she's cool in his books!!
There's a whistle at that, because he would've been impressed about the motorcycle alone, to say nothing of everything else.]
Daaaamn, that sounds sick as hell. If a buncha soldiers so much as got a scratch on the chief's baby, he'd be collapsing in tears instead.
[Okay, that's definitely an exaggeration, but still!! Anyway, he's going to wave over a server so they can put in their orders before continuing their conversation.]
This of yours... he a just friend friend, or something else?
He's just a friend. [ She smiles, just a little. There's more to it, as there always is. ] I was starting to like him, actually. He kinda reminded me of my old boyfriend, but that wasn't the reason why I liked him. He's sweeet and thoughtful and really knows how to throw a punch.
[ But she used the past tense, there, and she's well aware of it. ]
I don't know how I feel about him now, though. Things change when you go somewhere new like this, y'know?

That's pretty cute, if you ask me. Like seeing the soft side of a real tough guy.
[ More or less. ]
I have a friend like that too. He tries to act cool and like he's above it all, but the moment you tease him he gets all flustered.

[Because trolling Van might as well be a national pastime at the rate that he gets flustered by the people around him.]
Does your guy also get a hard-on for motor vehicles too?

[ Damn, Aaron... is she that obvious? ]
