Nex smiled a little, listening to him tell his story. When he finished, her smiled faded slightly. She wanted to say something, to reassure him somehow, but she couldn't put any words together. What could she say? Before she could say anything, he'd started talking again. She listened as he recommended food and complemented it. When the breadsticks were set down on the table, she reached out and took one, realizing out hungry she actually was, taking a small bite out of it. She took a quick look at the menu again and picked the first appetizer she saw that look okay and didn't seem too expensive. She looked up and smiled back at him. Then, she looked down at the table, now trying to avoid his eyes. A troubled look filled her eyes and she put the breadstick back down. She felt strange. She'd never been taken out like this before. Not really. Suddenly, she looked back up at Duo, a soft look in her eyes. She hesitated for a second. "Duo, I don't.." she started slowly, trying to think of the right thing to say. "I don't think you're a mutt. And nobody else should either. Not if they don't really know you." Then she smiled a little. "Well, then again, I don't really know you either, so who am I to judge?"
