In other words, the mansion decided to have a little fun with its residents and make them unlike their normal selves. [Now she's somewhat disappointed after hearing that revelation.]
Fair enough. I wouldn't want you to be someone you're not. As much fun as it was. [A pause.] Hope I'm not making you uncomfortable.
No, I— [Yes.] Really, just fine. Maybe— [There's a pause as he considers his options.] Maybe a cup of coffee some time? Get to know the real me. Might not like me like this. Never know.
Cup of coffee sounds fine to me. [Something light and informal. No alcohol involved.] I'd like to learn more about you without the influences of any events. In return, you can get to know me better too. Seems fair.
[Definitely no alcohol involved, nope. Blake's not much of a drinker, despite the occasional beer.]
Yeah, absolutely. Sounds like a good idea. [In fact, she might even be able to detect the tension easing out of his voice. He can handle that without too much trouble, right? As soon as life stops sucking.]
Brunch is a wonderful idea. Say around eleven in the morning?
[Well, this is good. They're still talking and things don't seem awkward at all. Hopefully it will continue into tomorrow morning when they actually meet up for that brunch.]
Sounds like a plan. Thanks for understandin'. [At least thus far, though he has a feeling that won't be changing any time soon. She seems practical enough. Besides, by the time brunch rolls around, the Inquisitor will have taken over.]
Of course. I look forward to meeting up with you tomorrow. [Without further ado, she ends the conversation on that note, glad that they've come to some form of mutual agreement.]
