leaberator | catchall for emma

[ lea's wearing what is obviously one of saix's ridiculous wolf hoodies still, because he's a moron who hasn't gone and cleaned himself up yet. he seems a bit spacey but he grins at emma when he sees her ]

Yeah. Never seen you 'round these parts before, stranger.

Do I need to take you to the boutique again?

[It's joking, though, as she glances his way.]

How are you feeling...? That was - a lot.

[ he laughs, soft ]

Hey, if you're offering.

[ he motions for her to sit next to him ]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Can't say getting to see the darkness up close an' personal for a second time right after all that was great, either. But I'm alright.

[She does just that, resting her hand on top of his as she sits.]

It feels a little bit weird to say I'm glad, but - Xion's safe, we got Shirasu, and you're okay, too. It's... good.

[Better than she was expecting, at least.]

[ he moves his so that he's holding hers, lacing their fingers together ]

... Yeah. Coulda been a lot worse.

Maybe we should celebrate.

[It's a little bit unclear whether or not she's joking.]

[ he laughs a bit ]

Nuh-huh, nope. I'm not falling for your wiles this time. The week's not over yet, an' that's a whole 'nother level of awkward.

[ did he just fucking call it her wiles ]

...I didn't mean that kind of celebration. Also, my wiles?

[She laughs.]

Yeah, I'm sticking with that.

[ he's laughing too, though ]

What didja have in mind?

Right. Always here to tempt you into sin.

[There's another, smaller laugh.]

I don't know. We could hike up to the top of the air area, watch the sunset...

You're the one who called me pure, aren'tcha?

[ ... his smile turns a definite shade of soft at the offer ]

Didn't know you were into sunsets. [ heh. ] Sounds good to me.

It goes with the whole outdoors adventurer thing I've got going on.

[She lets go of his hand just so she can stand up.]

We can have a picnic.

[ he stands up after her, dusting himself off because he's an idiot who's forgetting he is a lot more likely to have blood on him than dirt at this point, and he grabs her hand without missing a beat once they're both up ]

What, you got a basket hiding on you somewhere?

I'm sure we can find something that works.

[Probably.]

I'm telling you right now, if we gotta make anything, you're on your own. I max out my cooking capacities getting take-out back home.

Somehow, I'm not surprised.

[Teasing.]

Anything that's a no go, as far as food goes?

At least pretend to expect me to be competent at something, rude. What kinda girlfriend are you?

[ anyway. ]

So long as you don't put in any Minato specials, I should be good.

I expect you to be competent at a lot of things. It just doesn't seem like cooking would be one of them.

[She shakes her head.]

Please don't compare me to him.

[ he doesn't seem to expect her to say that first part somehow and so he laughs, concentrating instead on the other half ]

Hey, I'm just saying, I've never seen you cook! How would I know?

I guess you'll just have to trust me. How do you feel about wine?

Does it taste any better than whiskey?

[ it's a joke. ]

I’m not the best person to ask that. It’s definitely less... burny going down, at least.

Guess that'll have to do. [ he tugs her closer for a second, playful ] Is the wine for the celebration part, or are you tryin' to make this a full-blown date?

[She laughs, surprised, even if she doesn't resist.]

Well... Maybe it could be a little of column A, a little of column B?

[ he uses the opportunity to put his arms around her waist in a loose hug ]

Schemer. That's what you are.
