Just saying, you look more like the kind of girl who'd be into black cats and dusty books, not gardens.

[ Smiles, though, and nods her head towards the door. ]

C'mon.

Well, it can be all of the above.

[ she takes the cue, though, and heads for the door. ]

Where to?

[ walks along with her, holding the door open for her. ]

Figured we could pick up a snack and take a long walk in the gardens, actually. Wasn't sure how much of an amusement park girl you were but I'm not really crazy about them myself.

'Sides, better this way to talk. If you wanted.

...sounds lovely. Honestly, I think that's more my speed as well.

[ she sort of... experimentally brushes against Nychta's shoulder as they fall into step side by side. ]

[ glances at her-- but she's pretty safe to assume it was an accident, so she doesn't lean back or move away. her memory's not great but she can at least remember who's got personal space issues, dream fuck or not. ]

Yeah? I'm glad.

[

okay. cool. not freaking out yet. she can... work with this. ]

Well, I'm technically an old lady, but I think I've always been a little like that as far as preferences.

Don't think it's got anything to do with age, yeah.

... I remember not liking crowds, in a bad way. Don't think I've ever even seen an amusement park before this place and can't imagine I'd like it if this were a normal city.

Mm... it's easy to feel trapped in crowds, isn't it...

...I suppose that's one nice thing not to have to worry about, here. If someone stands too close to you on the train you know they're just an asshole, hah.

[ amused, and nods towards hope; considering she's so close and all. ]

So what do you call this?

...baby steps.

Man, you really are cute.

Let me rest in peace.

[ but she doesn't, like. move away. ]

I mean, it's hardly a good date if I stay a full meter away from you the whole time.

Hey, if you wanted to I'm not gonna be chafed about it.

Well—

...I'd rather it not be like that.

After all it's a matter of personal policy for me to not have weaknesses.

[ the last part is said completely deadpan but so deadpan that it has to be a joke. ]

A lofty goal, huh.

[ but she reaches over to take her hand, if she doesn't flinch away from it. ]

[ oh.

well.

it takes her like—maybe a whole second to relax into it, but she doesn't flinch, lacing her fingers with Nychta's. ]

Well, I've never been one to aim for anything but great heights.

And you're already doing so well.

[ briefly squeezes her hand, and keeps walking. ]

[ a sheepish little dip of her head, as they head toward their first destination. ]

...I'd even say it's nice, actually.
