Summary
"Just tell him you're a baker," Lain had said confidently over lunch, after Ethari mumbled his way through the story of how the most handsome elf he'd ever seen had asked him out at the weekly market. "No one wants to date a weapons smith; you'll scare him off."
And so when Runaan asks about his occupation the next day as they wait for their plate of moonberry surprise, Ethari blurts, "I'm a baker," without even meaning to.
"A baker, hm?" Runaan's lip twitches, sending Ethari's heart racing. Oh Moon above, he's not gonna make it through this date, is he? "How lovely. Should I be expecting a box of pastries next time, then?"
"Of course," Ethari responds giddily, before making a mental note to learn how to bake before next time. Before he can make any more impossible promises, he asks, "And what do you do?"
"I am"—Runaan pauses, perhaps to add some drama—"a librarian. Yes, I'm a librarian."
(or, Ethari receives some less-than-stellar dating advice before a first date and struggles to commit to the bit)
