Sadde is home; it's a Friday evening, his shift is over, and there's no school. He's reading a book, lying on his bed in his small-but-tidy apartment.
He is also quite naked, because it's his place and why not?
Glam and Ashras in Wormverse

You could help me test my weapons. Might do me some good to spend time with someone who's not part of the exact same group as everyone else I know.

Is that your asking me out on a date? Because I might just say yes.
(For the record this is a joke, unfortunately computers aren't good at conveying tone.)
(Unless it's not.)

Maybe you'll refuse because I'm secretly a prince and you don't want to get involved in the politics of strange worlds.

(What do the people of Earth do on dates?)

I'd definitely love becoming an otherworldly princess, I'm not a subtle person.
As for what we do, it depends! Dinner together, a movie, walking around a park, that kind of thing.
(For the record, it has just occurred to me that it might be relevant that I am sometimes a girl and you did not know this fact. I will understand if that's a dealbreaker.)

You can be a girl as often as you like, it's all the same to me.
Walking around a park sounds tempting. But only if it's at night. The sun is terrible.

You'll have to pick a park because I never go outside unless I need the library, but how about tomorrow evening? 6:00?

And therefore Ashras goes to the park the next evening. The clothes he arrived in are still the nicest thing he owns that's not a costume, so he wears those. It feels a little weird to go out unarmed, but surely this city isn't that dangerous.
mxglam
No, not that dangerous.
Sadde arrives, and given that she's a girl it's reasonable that Ashras won't recognize her, so she says, "Hi! In case it's not obvious now, I'm Sadde."

"Good! Hopefully now I can make a better impression than when you arrived and we couldn't communicate."

She laughs. "I would expect suddenly appearing in someone's room in another world to find them reading a book naked would be."
mxglam
"Yes, I seem to recall you were doing your utmost not to have the image burnt forever in your brain."
