Your body isn't even physically there in the Horizon, but that doesn't stop Wilhelm's stomach from knotting up with anxiety as he walks down the beach toward Abby. He doesn't know what he has to be anxious about. They'd met once when she was freshly summoned, and they'd had a decent time together. But it's the not knowing that puts him on edge.

As far as meeting spots go, it's...well, it's all a little incongruous. The strip of white sand and the turquoise water — a hue that belongs somewhere remote and exotic, somewhere he's never been in real life — suggest a tranquility that he definitely doesn't feel right now. His eyebrows pinch together as she goes off about apologizing before he can even say hey. In his pockets, he picks at his fingernails.

"Uh...sure. I promise."

Except he neither sounds nor looks so sure.
