"Well, ah... in... in that case," Albert said, his own face lighting up in a blush. "I ... would enjoy such an opportunity - especially as it means spending more time in your company." Wait - WAIT. HAD HE JUST SAID THAT OUT LOUD?!? "Ah... I mean..." Oh nooooooooooooooo!

"I'm...free on this day every week." She gave him a shy smile, the little voice in the back of her head cheering a bit. And giving her hope that...maybe this little friendship of theirs might gain another dimension to it. "If you'd like to keep meeting for coffee more regularly?"

"I... think I'd like that," Albert said softly, embarrassment fading into something... warm. Warm and nice, something he hadn't felt in... oh, a very long time now. "I would like that very much, if you truly aren't bothered by... such a large difference in our ages?" Was he reading her cues right? He really hoped so.

"Now why would I be worried about your age?" She giggled, leaning against him a bit. "You're sweet, smart, fun to talk to, and you...well, I can be myself around you. I don't have to worry about keeping you in line like I do my friends sometimes, and I don't have to be the 'oldest Courcel' like I am to my family."

"It's less about my age and more about yours," Albert said slowly, face lighting up brilliantly when she leaned into him. "Or rather, the fact that I have children your age. I'm quite certain that would make any association between us scandalous in most circles." Not that he had any particular circles he really cared about - if it cut into his ability to guest-lecture, then so be it. Otherwise, work didn't really... care about things like that. Frankly he would probably be considered lucky to get a date at all, as he was fairly certain he was considered mostly hopeless by just about everyone he knew (family included!)

Really. Really? "I strip for a living, dear. Can't get much more scandalous than that. Well, maybe porn but I rather think you'd be even more embarrassed."

"True enough, I suppose," Albert murmured, admitting that he didn't really have an argument to that - especially since he'd fathered his children while still, to his mind now, a child himself. "In... that case, my dear...perhaps... you would, ah..." Now if only he could manage to say what he wanted to say without tripping on his tongue!

Kaida blinked...then let herself take a chance. "A date?" she ventured with a quiet voice. "If so...I'd love to." Because cute scientist of absolute sweetness.

"I - I ah, yes. That," Albert stumbled, and broke into a blush as he reached out and took Kaida's hand in his. Sore, embarrassing nose or not, this was turning out to be a good day, after all. "I would very much like to take you out, somewhere soon," he said warmly. "But for now... what do you say we settle on getting a coffee?" No, not a bad day. Not in the least.
