With a yawn, Gilbert entered the area for speed dating. It wasn't that he needed help with getting a lover, not that he really wanted one to be completely honest, but he thought he would sign up for it anyways. Besides, it would be amusing to see what kind of people showed up for this sort of thing, if only to make fun of those that he knew. He looked around for some sort of chart or whatever he was supposed to read to find his date, but judging by the crowd of people that were looking over at the wall, it seemed like it would take a while.
He was just going to sit back for a while and wait it out when he was approached by... Arista Karpusi? She was going to be his date? He didn't know what to think of it, so he just shrugged and gave her a nod.
She nodded back at him, her arms loosely crossed over her chest. This was probably going to be awkward. She hoped that they found some common ground and managed to emerge from this with good memories; She had a feeling that if this became awkward, work relations between them would become awkward. And she felt a bit like a cougar, doing this with Gilbert. She was older than him by a lot after all.
She gestured at a near by table, biting her lip slightly before straightening out and smiling at him. She was going to make the best of this, no matter the circumstances. “Should we sit down then?”
