"No, it's all right. I- I don't mind."
*To prove it, he did something far bolder than he was used to. He kissed her lightly on the lips.*

*Susan gently put her arm around him*
"Not bad, for our first try."

*If he'd been able to blush, he would have. But he smiled, taking her hand in his.*

*Alfred was bringing out an unexpectedly tender side of Susan- a side that liked protecting people, not yelling at them until they pulled themselves together.*
"Thanks for coming out tonight with me. I had a great time."

"Thank you for asking me," *he said. It wasn't something that happened very often.*

"We might as well walk back together, since we're both at the inn."

"Oh, yes. All right."
*He started back toward the entrance, hoping that it was all right that he was still holding her hand.*

***NEW NIGHT***
*The girl slipped into the cafe quietly, making sure the lady had been able to keep up. The place was respectable without being too fancy.*
"This...all right?" *She questioned gently.*

*María entered the room and looked around with a friendly mien. She smiled warmly to the girl.*
"This seems to be a really nice place to eat. And from the smell, I think the food is excellent."
*She looked over at the girl, smiling.*
"How does it work here? Do we wait for the Maitre to find us a table, or do we find one ourselves? Where would you like to sit?"

*The girl glanced around nervously, but mostly stared at the floor.*
"I...I'm not sure. I've never eaten here before. Just...know about it's all."

*When the Maitre discovered the fashionable aristocratic woman and the girl by the door he came to them with his most aimiable smirk on his face.*
"Welcome to my humble Cafe, Mylady."
*He sent the girl a discomforting look, which said that he did not include her in this welcome. Duchess María straighened her back. She didn't like snobs. And now she spoke to him in her most aristocratic voice.*
"This lady is with me. You will be so kind as to show us to your finest table and give us two menus. We also want to take a look at the wine list."
*The Maitre did not dare to protest. This aristocrat looked fashionable. Her clothing and jewels proved she was rich, and she could very well be a friend of the king himself. And if that were the case, she could mean a lot of trouble for him, if he didn't oblige. He showed them to a table in the middle of the restaurant, placed two menu's on the table, then disappeared back into the kitchen.
María looked after him, before sitting down, and offered the girl a seat as well.*
"I am sorry you had to be treated that way. You did not deserve it. But these common people can be such snobs. Often more than us aristocrats. The only time I do use my commando voice is when I meet people like him. Just to teach them a lesson."
*She picked up a menu from the table and started reading it. Her voice was warm and friendly as she spoke to the girl.*
"What do you want to eat and drink, child? Do not be afraid to order. I have money enough."

((She knows what a commando is?))
*The girl shook her head readily.*
"It's all right. I'm used to it."
*She eyes found the small basket of complimentary bread, instantly filling with hunger. She subtly took a piece, nibbling on it as if it might be the only food she'd see in a while.*

((At least she is good at commanding her household )) *The Duchess laughed and offered her the menu.* "Take a look in here child, perhaps you find something that might interest you? They have pictures and text in the menus. You can have whatever you want."

*The girl looked up from her bread at the woman, ignoring the menu for a moment to study her in disbelief. Shaking her head, she looked down at the menu without speaking, reading it quietly.*

*María smiled warmly to the girl and offered her the list of drinks as well. The menu contained wine, beer and different non-alcoholic beverages.*
"You can also have what you like to drink."
*Then she started reading her own menu.*
