Welcome to Gaia! ::

Titan shook his head, "No, not offended. Why should I be?"

Friends were important, and being able to relate ones friends to a lover was important, but there were often other things that pressed in priority for time and attending to. Like each other.

"But now he and I have met, so maybe next time it will not be so strange. Sometime for dinner. Do you think he will mind meeting plain clothes? Or is that too much of work being brought home for him? "

"Would you like to go shopping now? If you're done with quotas. Maybe it is easier to think of cooking with all the food at hand in the grocery."

Safer? From what? From me?
He wasn't sure where that thought came from or went for Ladon.

He was sure that he didn't like it, but that it might be some part of being a member of SpecOps, which seemed to be the bogeyman in some capacity to the other branches on virtue of their duty to look out for signs of weakness. Only hadn't Ladon belonged to the same division? What did it even mean then?

Titan pushed it aside for just then. It wasn't a good foot to start on when trying to help a friend. Or trying to make a new one of a friend's significant other.

"Now is fine." Titan stood again, offering out his hand. "If it will bring back your smile, I will gladly try to learn better cooking from you. And suffer many failures as I try."

"My cooking is pretty limited to opening packages of tofu and adding goma dressing. Or throwing different greens in a bowl. Or packages of hummus. So not really cooking as much as opening things and assembling them. "

He was well familiar with the The Wholesome Goods- high prices but good quality everything. It was a good place to get lunches from their hot bars when he was tired of food assembly on his own volition. "I'll meet you there. I'll bring some cloth bags. "
