*After spending half an hour getting ready, (which included three different outfits before she'd stopped and told herself she was being ridiculous, trying to do something with hair that was too short to significantly style, not to mention pink, and more than enough gardenia scented spray,) she arrived at Rochester's house, and rang the bell. She didn't feel half as shy as she thought she would.*

*Rochester opened the door with a grin.*
"Well hello. You're looking perfectly marvelous. Do come in please."
*He stood aside to let her in.*

*She smiled.*
"Thank you! You look great too."
Way to sound retarded. I should not have watched that commercial 6 times in a row! Stop picturing him naked! Stop it!

Don't feel bad, I'm imagining you naked too.
"Well...I do what I can. Especially when I'm trying to make a good impression."
*Rochester grinned wickedly and gestured towards the dining room.*
"Shall we? I've had everything prepared. I hope that it will satisfy."

"She walked with him into the dining room and her expression turned to one of dismay. There were beautiful dishes on the table, that would look very appetizing. If you were a carnivore.*
"Um, there's a bit of a problem," *she said, biting her lip.* "I don't eat meat."

*Rochester's grin diminished and he looked very confused.*
"What do you mean?"
*Then a thought came to him. No wonder she didn't want to be intimate with him.*
"Oh! Don't worry, darling. I'm sensitive to that as well. But just talk to Alex and I'm sure that your fears will be put to rest."

*Rochester lifted his brow. A what?*
"So...you don't eat meat? But just in a non-metaphorical way?"

"No. I don't. I eat seafood and vegetables. In a totally non-metaphorical way," *she said slowly.*

"Well, humans are made to eat some sort of meat. At least fish and oysters don't suffer all their lives being bred to be killed and locked away in little stalls with no room and no freedom just to get sent to the slaughterhouse when they're fat enough."
*She got pissy when people belittled her decision.*

Umm...actually they farm them in hatcheries...
*Rochester sucked his lip, genuinely perplexed.*
"I...I am sorry. I didn't know. I guess...we could go out to lunch. Unless you want to gouge on chocolates instead."
*He smiled gently.*
"One hundred percent meat-free, I promise."

((Renn I only eat wild fishes. I make sure at the store and restauraunt. It totally pisses my mom off.))
*She smiled apologetically.*
"No, it's my fault. I should have told you yesterday. It's not the first time this has happened. I'm so sorry so much effort went to waste because of me."
*Renn giggled.*
"Please, don't tempt me! We can go out."

((I meant no disrespect. Rochester just doesn't get it. And Brandi can't proof her posts. I respect your decision completely.))
*Rochester smiled and nodded.*
"Oh don't worry darling...I'm sure someone in this house will be hungry later."
*He offered his arm cordially.*
"Then let's. We can always binge when we return."

((None taken! Rochester can be as confused as he likes. I know the character isn't the same as the typist! (Or I'd be very very afraid of all of us.))) *Renn took his arm with a smile.* "Thanks. I know it's a weird decision," For this time period..."but it's important to me. Thanks for understanding."
