Dinner Day (Bendytimed Like Whoa)
Manny had managed to have a suit made to fit his body, even if it cost him a pretty penny. He wasn't going to embarrass Bea by going to a fancy restaurant "naked". He carefully opened his dresser and picked up the coupon like it was a precious item. With a deep breath he went to find Bea.

	"It's merely a matter of taste," Bea says with a smile. "Maybe the chicken parmigiano's more your metier? Chicken. Cheese. Nothing weird about that, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Chicken and cheese, eh?" He was definitely intrigued. "Sounds tasty. I think I'll give it a shot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great. I've had it other places; it's usually nice. I'm going to go the weird route while I have the chance. Benefit of broad taste, I have to admit. I can have the normal stuff sometimes and still branch out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The waiter comes by, and the pair give their orders. When he leaves, Manny starts to twiddle his thumbs before saying something. "Thanks, you know..for coming with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bea grins, and makes the faux-telling-a-secret gesture of her hand beside her mouth. "I find the occasion for a nice dress so infrequent, this one has lasted me since before I got Kelly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Bea politely smiles and thanks the waiter, tries her stranglopreti happily, then a little more thoughtful. "She doesn't mean it maliciously, though. It's just how she works. Her brain isn't like most people's. I should know; I read up on it enough before I put a bullet in it... is my going on about Kelly being irritating? I don't want to make my personal responsibilities your problem if so."

	Many looked awkwardly at the utensils. His claws were sheathed as far as they'd go, but it was still a delicate process picking up the fork. "No, no, no," he assured. "It's fine. You're both teammates, it's no problem at all. Besides..I want to know about you and what's important to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The instincts of an exasperated youth spent helping cut up Uncle Laz's food for him are successfully suppressed, for the sake of both their dignity. Manny's not a kid, and she's not responsible for him. She sympathizes for the annoyance and difficulty, but respects that he'll be able to handle it.
Speaking of responsibility. "Thanks. I try to do right by her without, y'know, endangering the world more than necessary."
