"Well, this place is a real dive." Ariel stated as she sat down at the booth.
"One of the best dives in Princeton." He 说 as he sat across from her and lay his cane against the table.
She opened up a menu and began to scan for something to order. House merely watched her for a moment. He already knew what he was gonna get. The same thing he always gets when he comes here; chicken souvlaki platter, a beer, and bakalava for dessert.
"So, those test results 你 were picking up..."
She looked up at him with a challenge in her eyes.
"Am I gonna need to double bag it tonight?" He asked with his usual snark.
She looked at him half amused and half irritated.
"It was a blood test for iron deffiency and 你 won't be bagging anything tonight. This is only a casual outing." She 说 as she closed her menu and leaned back against the booth cushion.
"Outing? That's an interesting word choice. Why not call this a date? Those batting lashes of yours just scream come and get it."
She laughed at his logic and took a sip from the water that had been set out.
"You wish. What do 你 recommend I order?"
"Since 你 have an iron defficency, your best bet is the baked moussaka. It's got beef, eggplant, potato,and zucchini."
She thought for a moment and then pushed her menu away.
"The chicken souvlaki 大盘子, 拼盘 it is." She declared with a self-satisfied grin written across her face. He rolled his eyes, but he really wasn't annoyed. He was turned on.
"Why did 你 ask for my opinion if 你 weren't going to take it?"
"For fun." She 说 with a chuckle.
"Hmm, I hope you'll remember that sentiment when I get back at you." He 说 in a half-hearted manner.
"Yeah, yeah. So, you're a doctor?" She stated 更多 than actually asked.
"Diagnostician, extraordinaire!"
"Oh,the ego."
"What do 你 do?"
"I sit in a funky 餐车, 晚餐, 小餐馆 at ungodly hours trying to get twenty pages of my novel done so my editor will get off my case."
"Much 更多 descriptive than I needed. I gather you're another tortured writer?" He 说 with a raise of his eyebrow in amusement.
"You know I really want to 拍击, smack, 味道 that coy eyebrow of yours." She 说 with a fake pout.
House playfully waggled both of his eyebrows in response. They both couldn't help but to break into laughter.
"You know this is one of the better 'outings' that I have ever had."He admitted.
She sighed and her smile softened.
"Been good so far."
"You know 你 happened to decide on the exact same thing that I always order."
"Really? That's either a very good thing 或者 a very bad one." She 说 with a smirk.
"Well, the night, as they say, is still young."
"Garcon! We're ready to order." House abruptly yelled to the nearest bus boy who could hear.
