[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

... Sakura is a name for cherry blossoms in my world. I don't know if it is in your world too. [She snickered a little.]

If you try to take her to a ramen place [Yes, it is like she's reading your mind on this one.] I will punch you too. Try the theater, in Freyr.

[kuramaless]

.... Oh yeah. [He can't remember if he knows that because she's saying it now or because he knew that in the first place. Not that it matters.]

Er.

The theatre? Really? Ain't that boring though? You just sit and watch some people doing some stuff?

[samantha_grey]

[Slurp. Chew. Swallow. Line-face.]

Naruto? You're as bad as Eridan is at this, you know that?

[kuramaless]

[He's swallowing much quicker after that.]

What?!

No I ain't! She won't like that!

[samantha_grey]

You heard me. He gets away with it because we flirt better when we're shouting at each other.

[She sighed.]

Call it a hunch. She will. Girls like to be made to feel like they're special. Well, so do boys usually, but in different ways. Take her somewhere nice, somewhere she might not go every day.

[kuramaless]

Eh.

[He hates being compared to other people... Especially if it's not someone cool. (You know, like the Fourth Hokage or something)]

Don't think she's ever been to Stride?

[samantha_grey]

[The Stride? Her head cocked at that and she scratched her chin. Ok, that wasn't such a terrible choice. Roxy did try to keep it comfortable, and maybe they needed something that wasn't so obviously a 'date date'.]

Add a nice dinner, and it might work. It's certainly relaxing there.

[kuramaless]

Could probably get us free drinks too!

[Maybe he'd been keeping it to himself somehow that he'd scored a job there.]

Where should we go for dinner?

[samantha_grey]

[If she ever learns the awkward, she's gonna smack you boy.]

Wait, you work there?

Do not take her to Stride. That's like going out on a date in my lab, Naruto. Jeeze.

[kuramaless]

[HOW WAS THAT AWKWARD???????]

Er. Yep.

Wait, you just said it was a good place t'go!

[samantha_grey]

[How was it NOT?!?]

It is, but if you work there, you just look cheap! I only ever got away with looking cheap with Emppu because he didn't give a shit about anything, Naruto. Even Genevieve didn't want to go to some place I got for free most days!

[kuramaless]

[SHE UNDERSTOOD. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.]

Cheap?

But-- if we get drinks for free at Stride we can get more food.

[samantha_grey]

[Another sigh.]

Wait a couple dates before you pull that trick. When you're asking her out the first time, you're trying to impress her. Get her attention. Later on, you can do stuff like that to get away with nicer things than you can usually afford.

[kuramaless]

Oh.

[Impressing her. Crap. How was he supposed to do something like that?

Just the thought makes his spine bend whilst he slumps.]

[samantha_grey]

You think she's special, right? stop looking like this is scaling some mountain. Do something to make her know you want her. Not anyone else, not me. Her. Do that, and if she's got the slightest glimmer, it might just work.

[kuramaless]

Well. 'Course I do.

[Only now you've got him thinking about it like that, he doesn't know if there's anything he could do to make her realise.

Thankfully, he has a weird way with words.]

I guess-- we could go get her favourite food?

[samantha_grey]

Favorite food? Yeah, that's the right idea. Do something that you know she'll like. You guys have worked together for a while, haven't you?

[kuramaless]

Yeah.

Right.

We were in the academy together-- and then when we graduated we were on the same team. Y'know, with Sasuke?

[samantha_grey]

Think about all the stuff she used to do to make herself feel better on her own when a day wasn't going her way. Then, do stuff like that. It's a lot easier than you think if you already know her that well.

[kuramaless]

Heh.

Yeah, I will.

Thanks, Sam.
