[The Jason who spread his napkin over his lap was a far cry from the one that showed up to his work functions. Edward had requested the act and knew it was that, but it was still intriguing to see the difference between it and reality. It left him questioning what other surprises the real Jason might reveal over the course of the meal.

Snorting at the act and Jason's genuine smile, Edward shook his head in mock disapproval.] And that's praise - that you nearly experienced physical harm from a single bite of the food? I'm not any less worried about your sense of taste hearing that.

[He was still smirking as he waved the waiter over and ordered himself a burger, the promised truffle fries and an energy drink before looking expectantly at Jason. It didn't fit the image he tried to project among his coworkers, but it was surprisingly easy to relax and not worry about that with Jason. Maybe it was the times the younger man had listened to his frustrated complaints about those coworkers or knowing where Jason worked and what that entailed. He wouldn't examine it too closely, settling back in his seat and waiting for Jason to order. Once the waiter had left, he tilted his head curiously.]

What are your plans for the rest of the evening?

[Since Jason wouldn't be running off to another job after this. Presumably, some studying but it was possible there were other plans too.]
