[Closed]

Who: Takumi and Nephenee
When: July 29
Where: A cozy little ramen shop
What: Takumi asks Nephenee out. She has no idea it's a date



[He was nervous. He had no REASON to be- he'd spent time with her at the festival just fine, it was no big deal. But the fact that he had invited her out was very different then running into her.

His hair was freshly trimmed, looking a little cleaner then he'd let it grow out over the weeks. And while he wasn't dressed up, he was clean cut. It was a delicate balance between looking NICE but not DRESSY... or so he told himself.

Honestly he had no idea.

He was there early, but certainly she would be here soon?]

[Funny, Nephenee had no idea why she was feeling nervous either...well, other than her standard awkwardness and fear regarding social things, but that wasn't anything new. Considering she had no idea what this actually was...

Nephenee was actually quite intelligent when it came to picking up things, but her social IQ left something to be desired sometimes.

It didn't take her long to show up, even with having to dodge people in the crowd, and even with his hair trimmed, Takumi had a certain look to her that made him easy to spot. Waving to the prince, she walked up, her cotton dress rustling from the breeze and the people around her. Her own hair was mostly loose, but for a braid in the back, and as usual, she had a summer hat on.

Even with shorts on, she had no idea how much leg this dress was showing off. Thankfully, though, she was a bit distracted by how good Takumi looked to notice any stares from others. She might actually have been blushing a little, as she sheepishly smiled.]


H-hiya, Sir Takumi. Sorry if Ah made ya wait long.

[Thanking him, she sticks her head in the door, and nods when she confirms it's pretty quiet.]

That's good. Ah have trouble with the real big festivals we been havin' lately...

[She...sometimes just didn't go. It's scary with all those peeples :(

Beyond that, though, she visibly perks up at mention of the food. It's like watching a puppy take notice of a treat, actually.]


Yeah, it's real good. What else they got?
mylanceisbiggerthanyours: (Whatcha mean?)

That does sound good, 'specially the belly. Seaweed's...like the stuff they wrap 'round the rice an' fish?

[She looks like she'll continue, but the heavenly aroma hits her, and she has to stop for a minute to take it in.]

That...smells amazin'...
mylanceisbiggerthanyours: (All embarrassed)

'sall good in the neighborhood

[Her stomach takes that opportunity to make a small gurgling noise. Her face heats up at it, and she glances down at her tummy, before looking back to him, sheepishly grinning.]

J-jus' a lil' bit...'scuse me.

[Trying hard not to die a little inside at that, she forces herself to look around, before pointing to a pretty little window spot.]

Um...maybe...that spot?

[She's never been to a restaurant like this before, so the idea of being seated or whatnot is lost on her.]

Quieter than the other spots, looks like...

[And when he holds out the chair for her, she notices...and gets pretty flustered at it. She manages to not turn into a sputtering mess, to her credit, but she's pretty bright red. She's just a farm girl, and here he is, holding a chair out for her like some fancy lady. It takes a moment, but she asks herself: What Would Calill Do?

Other than bop her for freezing like this and using words like "ain't" and "reckon", she means.

Tis all happens in the span of a second, but she smiles at him despite the hesitation, and takes the seat.]


T-thank ya...sorry, n-no one's ever...done that for me, before.
mylanceisbiggerthanyours: (Neutral)

Well...a few, Ah reckon, but...Ah think it's more most o'the folks Ah've been around didn't really...grow up doin' that?

[A fleeting thought of "Maybe they didn't think o'me as a girl?" goes through her head, but she shakes it off. None of that, now!]

Ah was usually 'round soldiers an' common in Melior, since Ah moved my family there an' started servin' under Queen Elincia that way an' teachin' others. Don't think it ever occurred to 'em. Only time Ah was 'round fancier folk was when Ah was 'round Her Majesty proper, an'...well, kinda jus' blend in there.

[As much as a nearly 6 foot woman in blue and teal armor can blend in.]
