A Few More Dates

"YES! I mean—yes, please, I'm interested," he said, practically yelling. "Give me her num—I mean, we'll send letters via Post Office!" 

"Sure," Eloi said. "I'll send a letter to introduce you." 

"You're awesome!" Baron said, suddenly returning to his usual bubbly self. "I'll give you a good gift on your wedding day!" 

The couple chuckled before excusing themselves, continuing with their date with their hands intertwined. 

Squirming in his bar stool, Baron almost squealed. "YES! This is it."

Aborigine women were great choices, too! As for why he hadn't done so already, it was because the surviving aborigine women in Alterra—which also had a small ratio compared to men, by the way—were already either taken, married, or had been influenced by the feminist movement in Alterra.
