After some time...Thomas manages to catch a fish, but Jalisa comes up empty-handed. He leads her closer to the entrance of the cave and begins setting up some portable camping items...including a stereo. He puts on some romantic music and lights the campfire. Jalisa is impressedā¦
Voidcritter: You thought of everything.
It puts her in a really flirty mood. Thomas prepares the fish and begins to roast it on the fire. Jalisa watches him workā¦
Voidcritter: Do you cook often? I remember you mentioning that you prefer homecooked meals.
Bear: I work far too much to really get much cooking done. I may grill something from time to time, but I really miss my momās meals. She makes the best pumpkin pie youāve ever had in your life.
Voidcritter: Ā I think itās only fair that you know upfront...I donāt cook. I can barely boil water.
Bear: Yeah, you mentioned that you eat out a lot.
Voidcritter: Is that a problem for you? If we were together and neither of us really cooks...where would you get your homecooked meals from?
Bear: It would be about compromise, I guess. Iām a very laid back, old-fashioned person. Iām seen how my parents have worked together over the years to run our household.
Thomas finishes roasting the fish.
Bear: Would you like some?
Voidcritter: No, thanks...Iām not that adventurous yet.
Bear: Nothing beats fresh fish...youāre really missing out. *begins eating*
Jalisa has a crucial question for Thomas.
Voidcritter: So what does, old-fashioned mean, exactly? Because I see myself as the complete opposite of old-fashioned. Honestly, that entire phrase makes me nervous.
Bear: Ā I donāt mean old-fashion in the traditional 1950s sense. I just prefer a simpler way of life, thatās all.
Itās beginning to sound to Jalisa that she and Thomas may be very incompatible in a major way. She doesnāt want to spend the date questioning him about it, so she drops it. Thomas finishes his fish and slides over, hoping that Jalisa will join him on the seat, but sheās trying to work her mind around what he just revealed to her.
The date comes to an end. Thomas gets up to give Jalisa a hug, but without even thinking about it...she takes a step back, rejecting his embrace.
Voidcritter: Iām sorry, Thomas...youāve given me a lot to think about.
Bear: Yeah...I guess I have. Iām so sorry.
