(ooc: Boys pls, they are so bad at this I love it.)
Waver had indeed offered ‘something else,’ if Terra desired it. He meant it too, but he wasn’t going to try to push the other to make a decision, in case he wasn’t interested. It seemed… safer that way? Or at least more polite, he thought. Better than assuming that Terra would want to go through with an entire date, or just drinks if he decided this wasn’t going to work for him. The mage would, of course, eat if the other decided to, but Waver’s diet tended towards being rather lacking and small meals over large ones these days due to his stomach often giving him trouble.
“Hm? No need to apologize.” He offered quickly with a small rise of his brow, given it seemed entirely unnecessary to the professor. “I’m not exactly known for going out much myself. There are plenty of things to keep one busy and unfamiliar with local bars.” He added, tone a bit final on the idea that one needed to apologize here. After all, the furthest he tended to go when he wasn’t at the Clock Tower to teach was a small café that wasn’t far from his flat.
And since it sounded like Terra was new to the city itself, it was entirely reasonable that he didn’t know places like this yet. Though it did beg the question of if the man frequented them where he came from. A question for another time, perhaps. “Ah, then welcome. I hope you find the city agreeable.” He offered politely before tilting his head slightly to consider the question. His background was not something he talked about a lot anymore. Being who he was did not really mesh with the expectations of the reputation of a Lord of the Clock Tower, and best kept to himself. Some people still did their digging, of course, and use such information to try to get under his skin.
This was not like that, though, and as far as he knew, Reines would have cleared the concerns on that front before now. “I’m originally from a smaller town outside the city and moved here to study at the Clock Tower when I was a teen. Never really left, aside from some travelling.” Probably not the whole truth, but that was even more complicated… “I run one of the departments and teach there now.”
