Sunny nodded to Edmund, excited at the idea of lunch, since he had to admit that the work of the day had worked up an appetite for him. He smiled at Ophelia as she appeared before them, laughing softly at her excitement.

"Yes, I'll be eating with you,"

he said lightly, before something occurred to him and he looked back to Edmund.

"If that's alright with you, of course."

There was always the chance that Edmund didn't actually care to spend the lunch break with him, even though it seemed to him that he was inviting him out to lunch. He had lost his mind worrying about much less substantial problems, so it wasn't a surprise that he started to worry now about having overstepped his boundary and inviting himself. He swallowed harshly at the thought, brushing a hand through his hair as he wondered whether Edmund would get mad at him for doing such a thing. He hadn't seen the lawyer get truly angry just yet, but he knew already that he didn't want himself to be the object of such an emotion, especially from him of all people.

he shook his head, stooping down to sit on his heels beside Ophelia and hopefully distract himself from his own stress that was frankly over nothing.

"So,"

he said,

"what kind of place would you like to eat today?"

Sunny wasn't picky, and he figured that letting the kid choose was the smartest decision.

"I wouldn't want it any other way." Edmund could only hope Sunny wouldn't always need to feel the need to ask for his permission. It was clear as day that Edmund more than enjoys his accompany and is actively trying to learn more about the other. Perhaps he needed to be reaffirmed more, to show that Edmund wants to spend time with him genuinely and that there was no need to feel intimidated whatsoever. Contrary to popular belief, Edmund was a less intimidating presence when giving the chance to know him.

What he appreciated in Sunny's company was the mutual praise they gave each other. There was no expectation for Edmund to be worshipped as a god, on the contrary, he found himself believing the teacher to be a deity he long awaited to worship. He wasn't shallow; the man managed to surprise him in just a few hours of being around him, and every surprise had been nothing but pleasant. The only fear Edmund had was to possible overwhelm the other with grand displays to earn his affections.

Being out of the dating scene sure takes a toll of understanding what is considered over the top, especially to a man like Edmund Hyun, who enjoyed the finer things in life.

But how can Edmund not resist the urge to indulge in spoiling the man rotten when he so freely drops down his Ophelia's height to ask for her opinion? He has heard horror stories of awful partners not getting along with their lover's children, even neglecting the children's presence! Those possibilities had been a core reason why Edmund never considered dating in the first place after the divorce, Ophelia would always come first. And if he were to have a partner, they would have to acknowledge that. Sunny so easily passed the qualifications in that aspect.

Edmund watched the two, face radiating a purely smitten aura, going back and forth to his daughter and Sunny. Ophelia beamed having been given the power to choose their lunch. Putting a hand under her chin in thought, she pauses before beaming back with energy, assumedly having thought of a place. "Papa has taken me to a sushi restaurant not too far from the stalls, I think you'd like it." Always the selfless one (and having a liking towards Sunny) Ophelia planned on giving him the opportunity to not only enjoy the company of her and her father, but the food.

Immediately, Edmund recognized which restaurant she referred to. A rather expensive restaurant in town, the type to need a reservation but he knew the owner which allowed them to come and go as they pleased. It would certainly be a lovely opportunity to show Sunny what the town had to offer. "Alright my doe, if Mr. Sunny is alright with it, we can go and have sushi." He looked at Sunny with an open smile, if he didn't want to try it out, Edmund always knew other places to go to that Ophelia would be more than willing to have lunch in.
