Cullen absolutely did far too much for what he claimed was supposed to be a simple affair.
There were bowls of stew, various types of breads and cheeses, and a bottle of the finest wine he was able to beg the tavernkeeper for in exchange for a little extra coin for their next shipment of supplies. His outfit was a simple red and gold suit jacket that he was sure would be outshone by whatever it was Lioriley chose to wear--he did not expect her to come casually, as he had insisted.
So when he heard that knock on the door, he tried to gulp down the panic at her punctuality--she was early because of course she was. Opening the door, he felt the heat fly to his face as he stared down at her and couldn't help but wonder how she traveled with something so elegant.
"You look lovely," he blurted out. How charming. "You can--ah, take a seat. Either side of the table is fine."
Now he regretted not lighting a candle for the table. But perhaps that would have been too forward?
