Selkie was walking into the treehouse that she and her husband Corrin lived in. He looked tense. "No..Garon's forces will get us for sure if we do that." Selkie didn't know how much he did this. They only got married recently. "Hey, Corrin. What are you doing?" "Hello, Selkie. I'm just trying to figure out a strategy for tomorrow's battle. But it seems like everything I do, I'll be stopped." "How long have you been working on this?" "A couple of hours." Selkie knew this was a problem. She didn't want her Corrin to be stressed out. "You know Corrin, Daddy says if you work too much, you'll fail in you goal." Corrin asked her, "Is it true?" "The advice was true. Its how he won over Mommy...that and letting her use his tail as a pillow." Corrin didn't expect to hear that. "You know what you need, Corrin? A night on the town!" Corrin was sceptical. "I don't know."
"Come on, Corrin. We just arrived in Macarath, Takumi is doing better thanks to that medicine. You deserve a break and a celebration." Corrin decided not to argue with his wife. "Okay, okay. What are your plans?" "How about dinner?" "Okay. It is hard to have a date when your a couple in an army, I suppose."
A few minutes later, Corrin was out of his armor and in a nice suit that Oboro made him. Selkie came out in a beautiful dress. She insisted Oboro make it so she could still play in it. Corrin stated, "We're in a war, so we should at least bring our Dragonstone and Beaststone with us." "Good idea."
They soon arrived in a classy restaurant. Corrin came up, "Reservation for two." The waiter was happy to see a customer. Then he saw his date. A kitsune. "We...don't seem to have a reservation for you." "Are you sure? I put it down under Corrin." "Nope, it's not here." Corrin looked at the list. "Yes it is! It's right there. Corrin, 7:00." The host sighed. "Come this way." The two sat down at a table and were given menus. Selkie asked, "What was that all about?" Corrin replied. "No idea." As they were looking through the menu, Corrin noticed something. Everyone was staring at Selkie. About half an hour later, the couple were still waiting for their waiter. They hadn't gotten drinks, let alone food. "I'm going to go ask someone. You stay here, okay." "Okay, Corrin. But hurry. I'm starving." "I'm not exactly full either." Corrin walked over to someone who looked like the maître d'. "Excuse me sir, my date and I have been waiting for our waiter for thirty minutes. Is something wrong." The waiter looked behind him to see his date. "No...I'll go get someone."
A waitress finally came. "Good evening. I'm Darla, I'll be your waitress. What can I get for you sir?" "I'll have the Surf and Turf and a glass of root beer." "I'll be back with that food." "Hey, you forgot my wife's order!" The waitress was surprised by what he just called her. "What does it want?" Corrin was furious. Did she just call Selkie, it? "I'll have the chicken, raw please! And an iced tea." "Whatever. I'll be back with your food."
Selkie looked over at Corrin. "Corrin, I feel like nobody want's me here. Everyone's looking at me funny and we've had horrible staff treating us." "I'm sure it's just a coincidence." Sometimes someone would know something was happening but refuse to believe it...Corrin was feeling that right now. "Okay, Surf and Turf and Root Beer?" "That's me." Corrin stated. "And for you, clam chowder and a water." She left. The couple looked at Selkie's food. Corrin called the maître d'. "This isn't what she ordered. She ordered a raw chicken and a tea. You barely have to work to make that."
The maître d' whispered into his ear. "Listen sir, it's just a freak that we're serving." Now Corrin was furious. "A freak! This is my wife you're talking about." "I'm sorry." "Thank you for apologizing to her." "No, I mean I'm sorry she forced you to marry her." The maître d' was practically dancing in a hornet's nest.
"Sir, you're wife IS a Kitsune. You know, they're a species of monster." "Well maybe she is a monster. But you know what? She's my monster. Now you're going to get into that kitchen and bring out a raw chicken and some tea." "Fine, anything to get the monster out of here." Corrin sat down. Selkie said, "Maybe we should go. I'm making this date into a nightmare." "Please Selkie, I want us to have a good dinner." "I did this to get you to relax, but I think you're were less stressed out when you were planning a battle." Corrin sighed, "I don't think the two of us will ever have a normal date." Selkie frowned. "But I would gladly do anything to make them at least happy." Selkie smiled and wagged her tail. A waitress came by, "Okay, raw chicken and a tea." She left. The two started their food. It was humorous to see one using a knife and fork, while the other using her hands. The waitress was quick to bring the check back.
They were about to leave the restaurant, as Selkie stopped to use the Little Fox's Room. While waiting, the maitre d' came by again. "I trust it was satisfying." "Yes, it was eventually." "Listen, kid, maybe you should break up with the monster. She is a freak." "Well, maybe we freaks should stay together." Then Corrin's head turned into one belonging into a Dragon. He gave off a small roar and turned back to normal. Selkie came. "You ready to go?" "You bet." As they left, the maitre d' told the host. "I'm going home early. I need to see my psychiatrist."
As they were about to go back to their Realm with the castle, Selkie stated "I'm sorry that I ruined our date." "Hey, as long as you're with me, nothings ruined. Besides, getting away from that jerk has gotten me a bit relaxed. I think I'm ready for tomorrow's battle!" Selkie wagged her tail. "That's the Corrin I know. The optimistic, kind one I love."
