Zeke was quiet for a moment, before shrugging.

"If I'm welcome." he said.

"It'd be nice to have dinner with him. See him outside of work." he reasoned.

"Hm?" Angela asked.

"Oh, the boy's father and I know each other." he told her.

"Done Triad-related work with him."

Zeke nodded as well.

"Indeed." he said.

"So." he then said further.

"What was his reaction like?" he asked Olivia.

"We all know Jesse had a reaction about the dinner date." he commented.

"I'm guessing he was flustered and unintelligible?"

"Your mother was considering ordering in some Mediterranean food." Zeke responded.

"Come and check the menus." he told her.

"See if you can find something you'd like." he said.

He then sighed quietly, and thought about what had just been said.

'Dinner with Angela and Olivia, as well as their neighbours...' he thought.

'....heh, like a couple.' he thought further, before his eyes widened slightly, and he shook his head a bit to clear his mind.

Zeke looked at Angela for a moment, and thought about it.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"Well.... hm." he mumbled further.

"When a dryad lives out in the wild... they tend to live off of the blessings of nature. Berries, herbs, vegetables, that sort of thing." he told her.

"But this family is urbanized, so to speak... but from what I recall of what little I know... they're not vegan or vegetarian..." he went on, trailing off a bit, and shrugging.

"Really, it doesn't matter TOO much." he told her.

"Something as simple as a steak dinner with steamed vegetables and baked potatoes would probably be received quite well." he concluded.

"Oh, and just ice water or some nice fruity wine to drink with it as well." he then added.

"So basically, think of your standard nice family dinner, I guess."

Zeke thought again, and nodded.

"I'll ask Tobias when I see him next." Zeke said.

"...Tobias... being the father, obviously." he quickly clarified.

"But I'm due at the Triad in a couple of days for an appointment, and he's always there. Every day." he told her.

"So I'll ask for some clarification or restrictions." he said.

"That all right?" he asked Angela.

"....hm. All right then." Zeke responded.

"...ah, youthful energy and exuberance." he then said with a small sigh, before pausing.

"Though I maaaaay be a tad too young to be saying something like THAT." he chuckled.

"Anyway, it seems like this has all been settled." he told her. "You should be able to regularly use your front door from now on." he said further.

"Do you still want that security system, though?" he asked.

"I haven't taken it down yet, and its sole purpose was to monitor the door and check to see who was messing with it. And that's been settled now." he reasoned with a small shrug.

"Want me to take it down now?"

Zeke thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Yeah." he said.

"Yeah, sure." he told her.

"It's... well, it's not basic, but it's nothing overly complicated. Just with some mana boosting." he explained.

"So... yeah. Yeah, it can be expanded upon." he concluded.

"You want to get cctv here, huh?" he then asked.

"Any particular reason why?"

"........" Zeke was silent as Angela said what she did.

"I got it." he replied.

"I'll expand the security system." he told her.

"What areas do you want me to monitor? Or... well... all right, are there any areas you feel are safe from being monitored?" he then asked.

"Just so I know how much to get and where to install it." he reasoned.

"I can have it done... heck, probably before the dryads come to dinner." he chuckled.

"Hmmmm, very well." Zeke responded.

"I'll make sure to have that all set up very soon." he told her.

"Someone stealing from you is unacceptable, and video footage of it will be just what you need." he reasoned.

"Hmmmm." he then mumbled, thinking about it some more.

"Odds are I can get a friend of a friend of mine to help, too." he went on.

"He's really tech-y, and should be able to give you a very sophisticated system."

"I'll get the ball rolling for that." Zeke told her.

"And yeah, in an hour works for me." he said.

"Also... I wouldn't worry about a payment plan." he then told her. "His prices are... well... always more than reasonable. Sometimes he undercharges... well... a LOT." he muttered.

"Then again, money's not really a problem for him." he shrugged.
