It's not a happy one.
[It's not exactly a warning, because she's figured that much out already, but it's stalling for the sake of unwrapping the chopsticks and opening the carton he's been handed. It smells absolutely great and he has to smile when he sees what it is. He doesn't remember that conversation as much as he would have liked, to be honest, but he does recall the bit about dinner with Diane.]
[Dinner with Carmen will probably be different.]
[He pokes around with the chopsticks for a moment (the paper wrapping tucked into a pocket) before he takes a bite of the duck and mm, that's just about excellent. He closes his eyes for a moment to savour the flavor, then looks absolutely content. Because food.]
[Food and a night sky and Carmen.]
[It's really not so bad, even if he does have a sad story to tell.]
