One side of that sentence is certainly true, which is to say that it certainly is occurring, and Mirania certainly is the one perpetrating, or perhaps perpetuating, it. The only question is whether or not Mirania actually considers this a date. Maybe, after all, this is just what mercenaries...do?

Calista peers down, and thanks the Outsider that Mirania chooses the same moment to peer up. Her eager, earnest tongue has paused. Goodness.

"Is this...?"

"Oh, it's very good. Thank you."

Ah. Never mind.
