Elira suggested they eat outside, despite the cold weather. He was fine with that, but thought she would prefer the warmer environs of the market. Still, if she wasn't fond of crowds, sitting outside would be preferable to staying indoors.
“Sure,” Kai said with a smile. He turned to move in the direction if the doors they had entered by. It didn't matter which way they were moving, though, as it was slower progress than he would have liked.
Not wanting to lose track of Elira, he let her take the lead and stayed right behind her. Every so often he said things like 'left', 'right' and 'go straight'. Twice he put a hand on her shoulder to stop her from getting ploughed over by people barging through.
Eventually they reached the doors and were outside. Blessed, blessed air... It probably hadn't taken as long as it had seemed to take, but Kai was still glad they had made it unscathed and without losing any of their food.
There were several benches near the entrance that would suit them.
“Where would you like to sit?” He figured she should choose where she would be most comfortable.
