So, are you going to meet up?
Yeah, I think so. I'm nervous, but I think we're going to try to make it happen.
Don't be nervous. Your reputation as a battle-hardened veteran means that if you tell them you need space to deal with your nemesis one-on-one on a distant planet, they'll be sure to stay far away.
Yeah, you're right. I just... Am I going to regret this?
There's no way to know, but try to focus on the positive, like how you'll spend your time together. Do you have any cute activities or anything in mind?
Oh no! With the whole "navigating how to get the message across in the first place," I never considered what would happen if she actually said yes. What are we going to do? This is going to be such a mess!
Don't worry. Here, take this with you. It's a blanket and all you'll need for tea. Have a picnic. That's what my parents did on their first date, and it worked out for me, clearly!
I can't believe you had this ready so immediately.
As an engineer, my duty is to make sure you have the supplies you need for a successful mission. Now enjoy yourself, and tell me all about it when you get back.
