<div style="text-align: justify;">Alexia sighed softly when Hanz-Eren said he understood. Knowing that he had experienced the loss of a parent as well made the girl feel closer to him. It was a defining experience, after all. The kind of experience that changed a person's view of the world, and maybe even of themselves. Alexia didn't comment on that, though. It was hard to explain that without getting to deep into her own emotions, which might get her to say something she shouldn't. And to get even closer to Hanz-Eren, which was also not a very good idea to get so close, so fast. "I'm sorry about your parents' situation", Alexia stated sincerely. "The events in those years were, in all, unforgivable. Breaks my heart just thinking about all that happened, all the families broken..." Alexia stopped and shook her head. "Let us not talk about such depressing matters now, right?"<br/><br/>Finishing her own meal, Alexia thought for a moment about Hanz-Eren's invitation. She knew it was a risky move to accept it so soon in their budding relationship. But she also knew that she wanted to. And well... there was nothing in her briefing that told her how to act in this matter, so she felt free to make up her own mind. Feeling her cheeks flush a little when Hanz-Eren's gaze met hers, Alexia didn't try to look away, though.<br/><br/>"Dessert and music sound like a great combination", Alexia agreed. "And I would never think so poorly of you as to believe you would do anything to cause me to regret saying yes to your invite", she completed. Once again, the girl was struck by the man's smile, and that glint in his eyes. <span style="font-style: italic">'Why does he have to be so charming?'</span>, she thought to herself.</div>
