"Needy. I kind of like it." It was flattering, in an only mildly unsettling way. He might change his mind on that later, but honestly? Didn't happen that often that someone who at least wasn't a complete psycho was this interested in him. Not the worst option. Which was telling of his life, he supposed, but he didn't really want to look into that.

"I'm vegetarian, principled and opinionated, so we can't be eating anywhere cheap." Fair warning.
