[And what she suggests would be useful, he thinks. Although not as focused as hers, he did have to practice some meditation and concentration, especially when having to use his weapon. Anything that could help hone those skills would be useful...
[She shrugs, finishing off another piece of sashimi.]
I think that it should be part of the norm, those kinds of things. Dates, too. Every chance that we get, because... [Her voice trails off.] Well, you know.
[Two counters!? How is that fair... but she listens anyway, her smile growing wider with each one, the fondness in it shining brighter.]
It's just lunch, but alright... fine. I accept the proposal.
[And then a little less playfully, but no less genuine, she continues with a giggle.]
... I'm actually really looking forward to it. Can't wait to see how good of a student you really are.
[And to spend time with him, but that's a given. She would spend any moment that she did have with him if she had the chance or the choice to. She's certainly thought about it, but with the ship and the bar, it would be too difficult, wouldn't it...? And here she goes, spiraling into that again when she isn't even sure that it's something he would want.
[She wishes that he was close enough for her to kiss right now, so she just slides her hand under his on the table again, her nails tickling his palm.]
no subject
All right, my place. Meditating on the beach wouldn't be too bad.
no subject
I think it'll be nice. We could do it early so that there are less disruptions. Quieter. More peaceful... I think you'll enjoy it.
no subject
[And what she suggests would be useful, he thinks. Although not as focused as hers, he did have to practice some meditation and concentration, especially when having to use his weapon. Anything that could help hone those skills would be useful...
And of course, just being in her company.]
Should I also set up something for you, too?
no subject
[She is way more excited about it than she means to be, and she tries to reel it in.]
I don't see why not, if you've got everything that you need.
no subject
[A casual shrug as he takes another piece of sushi.]
As you said it would be more private and quieter. It's far enough away from other people that we won't disturb them too much.
[Granted it's Nogard. Hearing gunshots randomly isn't all that unusual, for better or worse.]
no subject
Mm-hm. And if all goes well, we could even make this a weekly thing...
no subject
[He says a little playfully as he works more on that giant lobster of his.]
no subject
[Her brows shoot up, her lips puckered around the fish that she's in the middle of taking a bite from, before she breaks into a laugh.]
Well. Thing is... You get my special one-on-one lessons.
no subject
[A wry grin as he cants his head.]
I thought you wanted to have other classes with other students.
no subject
[She matches that cant of his head with her own in the opposite direction, and she lowers her voice, as if she's telling him a secret.]
But not on a private beach with my boyfriend. That's different.
no subject
Fair enough. But you know ours would likely be more than just a morning.
[And he may or may not be attempting to use their little "private lesson" as a way to get her to take a day off work—]
no subject
Oh? ... How long do you think those ones would go for? What else would we do?
no subject
no subject
I see... Could be like mini-dates.
no subject
he doesEspecially when he looks at her for a moment and there's something of a meaningful gaze.]
If they happen often enough, they'll become less like dates and just part of our norm, wouldn't it?
no subject
[She shrugs, finishing off another piece of sashimi.]
I think that it should be part of the norm, those kinds of things. Dates, too. Every chance that we get, because... [Her voice trails off.] Well, you know.
no subject
[There's a softer smile as he knows very well what she means.]
So we can use that day to catch up on whatever we miss if we can't see each other before then.
no subject
[She lifts a finger, and before he can even ask her what that is—]
I get to make and bring lunch.
no subject
Two counter proposals.
[He holds up his first finger.]
You can make and bring lunch but only ever other time—
[And then the second.]
—and whoever doesn't make lunch will either make or treat the other to dinner.
[He lowers his hand with a smirk.]
No getting around it. Can't have you trying to do everything all the time.
no subject
It's just lunch, but alright... fine. I accept the proposal.
[And then a little less playfully, but no less genuine, she continues with a giggle.]
... I'm actually really looking forward to it. Can't wait to see how good of a student you really are.
[And to spend time with him, but that's a given. She would spend any moment that she did have with him if she had the chance or the choice to. She's certainly thought about it, but with the ship and the bar, it would be too difficult, wouldn't it...? And here she goes, spiraling into that again when she isn't even sure that it's something he would want.
No, she's grateful for what they already have.]
no subject
[There's a playful tone in his voice as he looks at her before his gaze softens.]
But I'm looking forward to it, too.
no subject
Me, too. I think... after this... Not just tonight but in general?
[She shyly pokes at her near empty plate with the chopsticks, trying to find the right words.]
I'd like to spend more time with you, so... works out.
no subject
There's a slight cant of his head before his smile widens a touch as he understands what she means.]
Isn't that a given?
[Just a small tease before he leans in just a bit.]
But you know... It is a different thing for me... Wanting to be with someone. But that's what I find myself wanting more often these days.
no subject
It's not so bad, is it...?
no subject
[But there's a playful grin as he gently squeezes her fingers.]
Because it makes it almost too distracting sometimes.
