It was kind of nice, being able to have a decent conversation with someone other than the troupe and not have his odd looks called into play. This guy acted like some kind of big duruf; hulking but kind. His smiles were genuine, as was his apologies and gratitude. Selim couldn’t help, but to give the guy a soft smile. “You know, if you really do work at a bakery, I might stop by tomorrow. Around midday, to check it out. If you work there the food probably isn’t any good; too tough.” He smirked.

Not catching on that it was a joke and not an actual jab, Aurick quickly jumped on the defensive. “Nothing we make is too tough! Mama Mya takes a lot of pride in what she makes and anything she lets me sell only goes out of the door if it meets her approval. You won’t regret it if you come; I can promise you that!” He just knew he’d like it; everyone loved their bakery!

“Okay, okay, SHEESH, I believe you!” Having the great hulking beast of a man this close was almost suffocating! He kept pressing closer the more passionate he became and if it had been anyone else in this situation Selim might have laughed. As it was he just wanted an escape route. “I was just teasing! I’m sure it’s fine! Now just...back off and go home before you get mugged or something. I’ll be there tomorrow.”

“It’s a date.” Aurick was practically beaming. New friends were always a welcome addition to the bakery! There was little he loved more than sharing his family’s baked goods with others, especially those as skinny as this one. He could surely stand to eat a few rolls - and maybe even a few pies, with loads of sugar. “Don’t forget; a few blocks away, Flour Shower, midday. I’ll be waiting.” With one last grin, Aurick turned to walk away.

A what?! Selim sputtered, caught so off guard that he couldn’t even get out a response before Aurick was already under the light of the nearest torch. “It’s NOT A DATE!” What was he thinking?! Selim didn’t even WANT to go now! What if Cyril heard him talking like that?! With a groan Selim ran a hand down his face and spun on his heel, turning to head off to bed. What had he agreed to?
