"I'm always careful," he assures her. Does it count as a lie if he's not as careful as he should be when he's feeling a little reckless?
"All for you, my dear. This evening is yours." Because why bother focusing on the fact that it's his birthday when he has a beautiful young woman to accompany him tonight? Leaning against each other while they walk is no issue for Red. Together they'll make a stable enough pair to make it across the icy roads. If he gets to pull her a little closer while they walk, well, that's simply an added bonus to the night.
When they arrive, the host offers to take their coats and Red's hat before they're seated at a small table near a window in the back. It might be a little cooler by the window, but they compensate with a bit of magic - the candles in the small chandelier above the table give off some extra heat, just enough to warm the air to a comfortable temperature. A bottle of red wine waits for them on the table, which the host pours a small taste of into each of their glasses before he leaves. Red helps Verity into her seat before taking his own with a smile.
"What do you think?" he asks, gesturing to the restaurant vaguely. "Lovely little place, isn't it?"
