Xavius smiled politely, saying, [color=DEB783]"Ellie. I like it. Dropping the formalities, I suppose you can call me Xavi,"[/color] he paused for a brief second. [Color=DEB783]"Well, if you wish that is."[/color] He didn't want to make it seem like she [i]had[/i] to call him that, though he realised a moment later that he was looking too much into it, as always. He was always reading too much into things. 

As she began to explain how horribly uneventful her day was, Xavius gasped dramatically, putting his hand to his chest for further effect, seemingly offended in a way. [Color=DEB783]"Oh no, that's awful! My day happened to be the total opposite; one of my customer's kid starting pulling the petals off of some of the flowers in my shop and I swear to you I nearly had a panic attack, not to seem melodramatic or anything, but it's true. You see, his mother was nice, I liked her, but the kid...mmm, let's just say my day would have been [i]much[/i] more nice if I'd never met him. Just saying. Ah, I'm ranting now, and we just met, sorry,"[/color] he laughed, embarrassed. [Color=DEB783]"Anyway, I wouldn't mind having one drink,"[/color] Xavi said, now desperate to distract himself. He fumbled a bit with the bottle, pouring himself a cup before turning back to Ellie, raising it to her. 

[Color=DEB783]"To a better night, yes?"[/color] He smiled again, taking a drink and then immediately regretting his decision. It was bitter and he [i]hoped[/i] that he didn't noticably flinch, although there was a high chance he did.
