Getting to know her

"Maybe not yet, but I know I'd like to."

"Is that so?" She leaned across the table and her eyes narrowed flirtatiously. "How about we head somewhere a little more quiet and get to know each other better then?"

"Sounds good. Have any place in mind?"

"Actually, I do! There's this nice little kobold owned dive bar a few blocks over. I love it!" She squeezed your hand, and you feel like you already loved it too.

"Oh cool, yeah I'm down to check it out." You signal your waitress for the check.

After the obligatory back and forth, you insist that you cover the tab and Jiz'ne accepted on the condition that she would pay for the drinks at the next place.

"Ready to go?" Jiz'ne asked.

"Lead the way!"

As Jiz'ne slid her way out of the booth and hopped down to her feet you notice the full magnitude of your height disparity for the first time. Her head came to just above your belt line. Something didn't add up. You look at the place where she was sitting and saw a discreet cushion that must have been responsible for allowing her to sit comfortably at eye level with yourself. She followed your gaze and immediately flushed with embarrassment.

"Heh, you caught me. I like to show up early to places so I can ask for a... booster seat," she mumbled to the floor.

"Oh, don't worry about it," you brush it off. "I usually show up early to places because I'll figure I'll get lost on the way."

She laughed. "As long as it's not a shock to you that I'm only half your size!" She shoved you playfully as you walk to the door.

"You know, I suspected something, but I thought it might be rude to mention it!" you take her hand and leave the restaurant.
