Following her lead, Nigel pulled something chocolatey from the basket, enjoying how the flavor mixed with the wine. He could certainly get used to nights like this. Moreso he was enjoying getting to know Enid in this light, the pretense of his previous awkwardness fallen by the wayside into something far better and intimate.

Orion's belt would not be out this evening, it was a winter constellation, but there was plenty to be discovered among the stars, both visible to the naked eye and the with the aide  of the telescope. Nigel just hoped it worked the way it was supposed to, he hadn't gotten much of a chance to calibrate it. "I don't think I do, but I do like the story of Perseus and Andromeda." While an academic at heart and knowing stars were not placed there by Greek deities, he had always enjoyed the stories surrounding the constellations he had read in different cultures.

"Do you have a favorite?" Nigel returned the question before taking a sip of his wine.
