Summary
He doesn’t know how the fuck he got here. At a very nice bar in a very nice restaurant. Sitting alone.
Or well: he knows. It’s more that he can’t believe he let it happen.
Again.
But Steve's got his iron-clad reason to shut this blind date shit down once and for all, now: twenty minutes late is beyond the fashionable threshold, particularly for this kind of set up, and Steve's out of his drink, so he moves to gesture the bartender over to pay but—
"Another for the handsome nobleman,” and this guy two stools down gestures first, and says it with a stilted lilt that’s somehow not disingenuous; "whom I say doth sit alone beyond comprehension."
Steve stares wordless for a second because, outside of that weird fucking Renaissance Fair thing the kids dragged him to, he’s never heard anyone talk like that. Definitely not in the middle of Midtown, with a distinct lack of turkey legs in sight.
But then the man starts again, something close to bashful when he clears his throat and asks:
“Perhaps this very handsome nobleman would also enjoy some company,” and his tone’s not even playing coy for the hope in it:
“Even if only that of a humble bard, such as myself?”
