That... is very kind, and for a moment his growing smile makes her recall the bright and sunny smiles he often wore when they played together as children. Thinking back on it, she supposes that is one thing she feels that she remembers well: when they were younger it seemed he was always happy to see her.
And maybe the recollection enhances the blush in her cheeks momentarily, but the smile she gives him is sincere. ]
Thank you, Dimitri. My expectations for dinner are well grounded, but I will be happy to see you there as well.
[ Well grounded, but still content -- still happy -- to see him. Under these circumstances, this is already more than he could hope for.
(Yet, like a fool he still does.) ]
I am glad to hear. I will meet you there.
[ And though he could stay up all night just talking to her and committing that smile to memory, he knows he's in no place to ask her. The agreement -- or even this treasured friendship -- doesn't extend quite that far, he knows. ]
Well. If there is nothing else you wish of me, I will let you go back to your rest. Have a good night, El.

I appreciate your assistance.
[ Since learning about what flavors he may like was one of the two original purposes of this conversation. ]
Sleep well, Dimitri.
