[8/5] a not-date, probably

Following their conversation on the beach, a conversation that had turned much more antagonistic than he had expected, Damen thought it best to wait a number of days before calling on Laurent.

In the meantime, he filled his time as he had prior to Laurent's arrival, albeit he admittedly found himself frequently distracted.

He couldn't simply pretend Laurent wasn't here, couldn't go about his days as he had before knowing there was now someone else in this strange place that remembered his own world. That remembered him. And the fact that that person was Laurent of Vere made it all the worse. Why him, Damen couldn't help but wonder.

After very nearly a week, Damen used the writing feature on his phone that Noazerny had shown him to message Laurent and they made arrangements to meet at a tavern almost perfectly equidistant from Laurent's terrace and Damen's apartment.

Only, when Damen arrived, clad in the pair of shorts and simple sleeveless top he'd grown accustomed to wearing, he found himself turned away at the door.

'I'm sorry, sir, but we have a strict dress code.'

'A dress code?' Damen replied, shaking his head. 'But I'm meeting someone. A friend. We've come to dine.'

The man only stared at him a moment with a look Damen had come to recognize as indicating this was something he should know. 'Please feel free to return when you're dressed appropriately,' he said with an air of finality.

Frowning, Damen ran a hand through his hair and glanced down at himself, unclear on how what he wore could somehow be considered inappropriate.
