[doctorgingerspice]

A few clouds moved in as the sun set and the temperature dropped, but it was still decent weather for your last night here in Quebec!

"Not my fault my beau is so handsome," Steven said. He took a sip of his drink and nodded with approval. "Menu looked nice. We've lucked out with our options this trip."

"I was a little concerned we'd be scraping by, given the French generally love their meat-based dishes. But it's been a pleasant surprise to find that at least here, they're a little more- metropolitan," Watts said, by way of agreement.

"We didn't even get to try all the options," Steven said. "I suppose that can be a goal if we ever come back."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

Watts nodded. "I could see myself doing so. Coming back, that is."

Re: Dinner Cruise

"You've enjoyed it that much?" Steven asked. "I've found it very nice myself."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

Watts nodded. "Perhaps not until we've ticked off a few more destinations on our list, but I think it would be worth returning."

"I like the sound of that," Steven said. "Further exploration at a later date."

Steven then looked around them, back at Llewellyn, then grinned. "For a later date."

"Clever," Watts shook his head. He couldn't even groan at that one.

Re: Dinner Cruise

Steven beamed proudly. "Thank you. This is nice though. They do plan a good holiday, don't they? All the activities. Almost as good as you are with things to do."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

"Almost?" Watts echoed.

Re: Dinner Cruise

"No one's better than you are," Steven said. "But it was a good job here all the same."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

Watts blushed, pleased with the compliment.

"It was- different- leaving the planning up to someone else," Watts admitted.

Re: Dinner Cruise

[hasaknightjob]

"Good or bad?" Steven asked. "I know you don't care for surprises."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

"I did still research," Watts admitted. Because, yes, not a fan of surprises. "But- overall I suppose it was good, having some of the work done arranging matters."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[hasaknightjob]

"No harm in research," Steven said. "Like knowing they have vegan options on this cruise. We'd have missed out otherwise."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

"That took more work on the google than I expected," Watts said. "I don't understand why they could not just list it with the non-vegan menu."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[hasaknightjob]

"Lucky me I have a clever detective who can find such things," Steven said, looking at Llewellyn with obvious pride.

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

"Oh, well," and now Watts was blushing again, scratching at his chin.

Re: Dinner Cruise

[hasaknightjob]

"See? You take excellent care of me," Steven said. "Even when someone else is doing the planning."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

"Excellent views of the sunset or not, I don't think this would have been worth it if we'd been stuck eating only a salad," Watts scoffed.

Re: Dinner Cruise

[hasaknightjob]

"And probably not a salad this nice either," Steven said, gesturing to the quinoa salad in front of them.

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

"I don't know that I've had a salad quite this- fancy- before," Watts mused. Quinoa, yes, but elderflower syrup?

Re: Dinner Cruise

[hasaknightjob]

"Me neither," Steven said. "Suppose that's the fun of letting them pick. Try things you might not otherwise."

Re: Dinner Cruise

[pocketpretzels]

"Agreed," Watts said. "I do enjoy trying new things. Particularly food." Contain your shock, Steven.

Re: Dinner Cruise

[hasaknightjob]

"And wine?" Steven guessed, gesturing to the bottle they were sharing.
