Gabriel gave the menu to Avilia, regaining his composure. "If you want me to clarify the situation with the staff, I don't mind. I just didn't think it was a big deal what others thought."
"Don't fret over it." Avilia took the menu and went through it once. "They really have some nice things. Order the second, fourth, and the twelfth item along with the Seventh in the list of wines."
She returned the menu to Gabriel.
"Why aren't you ordering yourself?" Gabriel didn't understand why Avilia was adding these extra steps. She had the menu, and she knew what to order. She could've ordered herself.
Avilia didn't answer. She just moved forward and reached out her hand toward Gabriel's face.
Gabriel moved back at the same time, avoiding her hand.
"You're really careful, aren't you? Don't worry; I'm not going to hurt you," Avilia clarified. "The world would be quite boring if something happened to you. I won't let anyone harm you."
