[ She wants to go despite her reservations, and him going would only make the experience more enjoyable for her. If only so she could have fun, he'll agree to it. He just has to put up with some rowdy people, that's all. ]

It's just a few people who want to eat food and party. Nothing scary about that.

[ She can just relax. He's certain she'll enjoy it, based on what he knows of her so far. ]

I'll go. Dressed up and all.

[ Now he actually has to get an outfit together, doesn't he? He doesn't really like what he's seen of formal outfits in the mall so far... he might have to make some modifications. ]

[excaliburden]

[The way he responds, she starts to think he's moving towards that refusal--but then, to her surprise, he instead immediately follows it up by agreeing.

Oh. Oh!! Ohhhh! She brightens immediately like the sun peeking through parting crowds, relief and joy in equal parts in her expression.]

Yay, yay, yaaay! I'm so glad! Do you need to find an outfit? Oh, but I guess you probably don't need my help since you were the one who helped me, ha ha!

[featheradrift]

[ Her beaming face is far too much, and he averts his eyes for a moment. ]

I can search by myself.

[ Then a teasing smirk graces his face. ]

You'll have to wait until the gala to see, but you can imagine in the meantime.

[excaliburden]

Ima--

[It hadn't even crossed her mind until he said it. But now he has, and it makes her think about it.

Him, all dressed up and in a suit?

... Wait. No. Imagining it is--

That's embarrassing and he knows it.]

Wh-wh-wh-what are you trying to say?! Don't be ridiculous! I'm not gonna imagine that! Why would I!

[featheradrift]

[ He's not ignorant of his own beauty, though he rarely opts to use it besides appearing as a friendly face. The smirk widens—she's way too easy. ]

Oh, I thought that's why you wanted me to dress up. Don't you consider me attractive?

[ She's already admitted as much back in the fairy tale scenario, even though she was talking about him in a princess dress at the time. ]

Screams internally.]

3/3

[excaliburden]

--And even if I did, that's not why! I want you to come so we can have fun together!

[featheradrift]

[ Way, way too easy. Her reaction draws a laugh out of him. ]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Your secret is safe.

[ He'll turn to walk away, giving her no chance to refute his words. It was about time they left the mall. ]

[excaliburden]

[HHHHFFFFFHFHGHJDJNNNNGJGGGHHH.



Anyway, she follows, of course. She follows while huffing and puffing but unable to argue with his back.

And so, they leave the mall behind, Altria having forgotten all of her self-consciousness over the items they've chosen out in favor of being fussy at Wanderer.

Success!]
