[Fortunately, indeed! Larry would much rather discuss date gifts than the details of dudes' injuries that got them sent to the hospital, or...something like that.

Despite his initial reservations about how this might go based on his first few minutes spent with Hawke, her positive reaction to the gifts give him a much-needed boost of confidence. After meeting Hawke, he was immediately worried that these sort of gifts would be her thing, but they seem to be going over well! Thanks to that, he's able to get back in his date-mode stride.

This time, he smiles genuinely. He even grins a little bit.]

No no, you don't gotta apologize for that. It's kinda tradition for guys to be the gift-givers on dates where I'm from. Your company alone makes me happy!

[He's being truthful there, if not being a little over the top on purpose as well. But that's just how he rolls on dates.

Ohhh right. He laughs, then nods and offers for Hawke to go in front of them back to the table Larry had picked out.]

Yeah, that might be a good idea. I guess this place has really good hotdogs? Maybe we can grab some of those.
