If he got to pick the person he was to be paired with, he wanted it to be her.<br/><br/>"I suppose that would be one way to put it," he said with a small smile. It was, in fact, his first date ever. While he had been paired with several individuals for reproductive purposes, his time spent just talking with them had already been shorter than this.
