Ben is more nervous than he's ever been before. More nervous than when he went to Afghanistan for the first time, more nervous than when he faced down insurgents, more nervous than taking down a Black Market operation makes him.
All because he's got an actual, real-live, honest-to-God date with a beautiful woman.
Of course, said woman is also somewhat shallow, incredibly blunt, and owns at least one angel Pit. Which would give Guriel and Rachmiel fits if they knew about it, so he hasn't said anything. Yet. How much longer he can keep it from them, he has no idea.
However, in the meantime, he's getting ready. He's showered, wearing a pair of jeans with an actual collared shirt and a suit jacket so's not to look too dressed up for dinner and a movie, and wearing a pair of motorcycle boots that hopefully will not give Elle a heart attack.
He's also grown out his facial hair into a fairly stylish goatee and dyed his hair. Just in case she changes her mind about him going with her to her Thing.
Annnnnd... he's ready. Or--
As ready as he'll ever be.
