It took a moment after she looked at him for Nemo to mentally slap himself back into reality. If she looked into the expression on his face, it was going to get even more awkward. "Happy New Year, Pen." His smile softened into something more of a normal look for him (or so he hoped).

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." He was, even if he was having an internal panic attack over the end of it, that she had enjoyed herself. That had been the goal after all, a nice day out without work, without anything else, just them enjoying the day and the company. Thankfully the ongoing fireworks gave him a distraction to look away and watch while he tried to wrap his head around what could possibly happen next.
