They’re shocked when the coat is draped over their chair, dark eyes wide as they look back at you, and you smile kindly. “Why.. did you do that?” they ask, tone shocked and surprised. You tilt your head, smiling even more, and hum softly. “You dropped your coat, I wanted to make sure that you didn’t lose it. Or, so no one stepped on it. It’s gorgeous fur,” you reply with a little shrug, then an awkward wave, and head back to your table.
They continue to stare after you, until their friend taps their hand and they snap their head back to look at the other selkie at their table. Both are amazed, and a bit shocked, at the sudden, almost nonchalant marriage in the middle of dinner. They were in shock and were happy, since- even though you appeared human- you were cute and seemed to be wonderful, judging by the kind gesture of giving their coat back.
