[ he promises, a nod of his chin, before the server comes over. gator orders his beverage - a beer, a glass of water - before they turn to nancy. gator's a tillman, so therefore everyone in town knows not to fuck with him, especially in a setting like this. he's a guest, and they're entitled to whatever they want. ]
[Something about this little date still feels off. Maybe it's just Nancy feeling anxious and out of place. She knows Gator's reputation, how a simple dinner can't really be his scene and yet-
There he sits. As charming as a goddamn snake in a beautiful garden. Calm and well collected. It causes Nancy's heart to skip a few beats as her pink cheeks grow warmer.

She very softly orders a water before bright eyes flicker back up to Gator. ]
