Truth be told, she doesn't know much truth there is to what she claimed, but still this seems like the best and most efficient way to help socialization and such between staff members and provide more moments like this, where they are more buddies and the like, rather than colleagues. She is unsure of how well Edgar thinks this might go, but at least it could give a nice evening for everyone if nothing else.
She finishes the last food on her plate, having downed three plates full of ribs, sausages, pork chops and such kind of food, along with being on her 4th beer by now. While she is not drunk, she is still lightly affected by it. She does then notice and acknowledge the redness on his face. The beers does help make it easier to make her aware of it as it bypasses her normal "rationalization" and other such ways to push such emotions aside. While still unsure how she should react or even think, she does smile back and have a light red tint of her own in her cheeks."Ohhh, nice. That would be very appreciated. I will hafta tell them yah mentioned their place then", she says, not really certain what else to add to that and still wanting to not let the conversation die.
Of course, she notices the much more spreading plants and especially flowers and such, which is a much easier way to interpret and be aware of Edgar's state of mind. The smell is growing much sweeter and nice and even a tomboy like Mary seems to enjoy it."Edgar...ah need to ask this: did yah intend this to be a......a date? Ah'm really not sure and ah want to be certain. Ah really do appreciate...how this evening has turned out, but ah want to be sure what expectations yah had for it...", she asks rather bluntly.
