He places the bottle down, his finger touching the lip of the bottle, tilting it back so it was balanced precariously on a corner of the bottom, held from falling by the pressure of his finger. He smiles. "Since it's like that, maybe we can go somewhere else? I am feeling hungry and this place's food is a little outside of my budget."
This isn't the place for this sort of conversation, really.
