...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.

Re: 340 night

[

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.

Re: 340 night

[earthquaked]

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.

Re: 340 night

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.

Re: 340 night

[earthquaked]

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

So what do you call this?

Re: 340 night

[widenessofthesea]

...baby steps.

Re: 340 night

[earthquaked]

Man, you really are cute.

Re: 340 night

[widenessofthesea]

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.

Re: 340 night

[earthquaked]

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

Re: 340 night

[widenessofthesea]

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. ]

Re: 340 night

[earthquaked]

A lofty goal, huh.

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

Re: 340 night

[widenessofthesea]

[ 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.

Re: 340 night

[earthquaked]

And you're already doing so well.

[ briefly squeezes her hand, and keeps walking. ]

Re: 340 night

[widenessofthesea]

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

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