If Mercedes knew that this was a date, she didn't really let onto it. Well then to be honest, she probably wouldn't know if someone was asking her out on a date if they hit her over the head with it. It was tea, with a doctor and just a nice looking one at that. Perhaps being so forthright wasn't such a bad thing after all.

She left the hospital and headed to the tea shop where they served great tea. She wasn't that much shorter than him, so finding him wasn't hard at all. When Mercy spotted what could only be Galen, she wandered over.

"Hello," she greeted, putting out her hand. "You must be Galen, I hope."

"Indeed, I am. You must be Mercedes. An absolute pleasure, my dear," Galen said with a warm smile. He clasped her offered hand with his--a grip firm enough to be confident, but one that also spoke of a gentle touch.

"I do believe we can rule out ugliness. You look lovely. May I get your tea for you?"

Oh good, right person. Mercy shook his hand in a same manner, trying not to forget her own strength. It wouldn't do well to hurt the guy the first time she met him. But she could see why he was a doctor, even if he wasn't dressed how he was.

Her cheeks blushed faintly, a symptom probably of memory loss and she smiled. "Oh well thank you. I suppose I can fall back on trying not to be intimidating then." She laughed slightly. "That would be nice, thank you. I'll take green tea, or really any kind. I'm not picky."

He didn't mind the grip. There was plenty of strength in his own arms and hands, even if he didn't often choose to flaunt it.

"I don't intimidate easily," Galen assured her. "Do you take anything in your tea? Lemon? Honey? Milk?"
