Nodding awkwardly, Thayne smiled somewhat uncomfortably. "Yes, it is..." He replied, shrugging slightly. Just talking about it made him want to drop everything, run and get that novel he had been working on, and find a good spot under a bush where nobody would find him.

Thayne knew that he could not do that though. This marriage thing really was quite important. It was not a big deal anyway; they could have been pulling him away from a previous lover. At least he would not have to worry about that.

Finding that they had come to another pause, Thayne racked his brain to come up with a new topic, preferably something that would spark an actual conversation. His previous thoughts about lovers planted the question in his head of if she had any loves already, but he decided to keep that one unspoken for a while. Maybe later when they knew each other better...

"So, what... are your hobbies?" It was certainly a lame question, one of Thayne's backups that he pulled out in uncomfortable social situations, actually, but it would buy him some time to come up with a better question, at least.
