[Ginti glances over at her from where he's sitting at that table they have in there, idly messing around with that game set thing she got him for Christmas; Nowi, why are you jumpy, jumpy is never a good sign- ]
You know, I'd ask what you did but I'm going to get the obvious out of the way first.
["The obvious" being the fact that there's kind of one of those massive Sylveon plushes sitting on her bed; he gestures toward it, the motion idle.]
Well, yeah, but... I really appreciate it. I don't think I could ever thank you enough for all the things you've done for me, Ginti! You're the nicest person I know and I really, really like you, so...
[...oh man this is the dumbest thing that's ever made her nervous, okay.]
Um... Will you go on a date with me?
[Draculaura said to ask as soon as possible, but Nowi's been anxious about it since it came up in conversation. There are a lot of ways this could go wrong and she's not even sure she's asking it in the right way, but here we are anyway.]
[...You know, there are a lot of ways that could have been phrased that would have dropped it right into shitshow; as it stands, the assertion of really really liking him and the whole nicest person she knows things are sort of "...wow that's kind of" but the actual request is not - it's not like she's asking to be his girlfriend or get married or something, it's just kind of...
...Okay, he sort of doesn't get why this is much different from what they usually do, if he thinks about it, uh.]
