[She can't help but grin at him.]

Well, that would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?

[No, she can't do it, and his face makes her break into a giggle.]

It's nothing terrible. Just a dance show at one of the theatres.

[flamekthunder]

What kind of dance show?

[He's assuming it won't actually be anything scandalous, but he asks in that suspicious manner, anyway.]

[starshower]

Not that kind of dance show, if you're thinking what I think you are.

[She narrows her eyes at him playfully.]

It's just... a dance show...! Like a musical, but more dance focused?

[flamekthunder]

[But what was he thinking— But all right, he'll end the skeptical play and look at her a little interested.]

Musical but dance focused... I think I understand. Don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.

[Granted, he never really had time, opportunity, or interest to see many shows to begin with.]

[starshower]

[It's the Naughtilust, she assumed he was thinking what anyone else would think!!]

I haven't either. I've always wanted to go to one, though. They had some at the Gold Saucer, but couldn't exactly leave Midgar back then to go.

[flamekthunder]

Then it'll be a first time for the both of us.

[A light smile as he starts to finish off his plate.]

Do you want any dessert first? Or do we need to hurry to make the show?

[starshower]

No need to hurry. Lucky for us, I made sure to give us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves. The show doesn't start for another couple hours, and it's not far from here. Walking distance.

[And as she finishes up the last bit of her food...]

Which means time for dessert.

[flamekthunder]

[A small laugh at that.]

Dessert it is, but I doubt it will take hours to finish. Was there anything else you'd want to do after?

[starshower]

We could look around a bit. I haven't been around here before, and I spotted some neat places we could check out on the way.

[And before he says anything or flashes her another look of doubt—]

We're in a higher end part of town. We won't need to worry.

[flamekthunder]

[He's going to flash it!! But only briefly and playfully.]

What kind of places?

[starshower]

[A flush to her cheeks.]

There are some cute shops I saw, a few art stops, and there are even some performers on the streets at night that we could watch.

[flamekthunder]

[A low hum and a nod.]

Sure, those all sound good. We've never really been to the markets or shop at night, and they will probably have something more unique than what we've seen so far.

[starshower]

That's the hope, yeah. I know the Naughtilust has its... places... like that. But the nightlife here really is something else. Not like what it is on Elah or Eltrut, or even Nogard, from what I've heard.

[She plucks the dessert menu from the side of the table.]

Should be fun. Maybe I'll even buy a few things.

[flamekthunder]

[He's nodding along at first, but then pauses in thought.]

Do you think they would be able to hold the items if you do? I'm only thinking if we have to carry things around and if that would get in the way or not.

[He doesn't mind either way, so he's just making sure on her end.]

[starshower]

[She lifts the dessert menu so that it hides her lips, but as she peers over the top edge at him, he'll see that amused glint in her eyes.]

I thought you could just carry my bags.

[Joking.]

[flamekthunder]

Well I don't mind... But then I wouldn't be able to hold your hand.

[He'll just return it right back.]

[starshower]

What, can't loop them around your arms? Guess I know where to start when we begin our training.

[Gotta build up that strength!!]

[flamekthunder]

I'm assuming my arms would also be full.

[starshower]

[If he was closer, she might have given him a light, playful swat.]

How much do you think I'm going to buy!?

[flamekthunder]

Last time we went shopping you got quite a bit.

[starshower]

Not that much, was it?

[Okay, maybe it was a few bags of things... but she doesn't admit to that out loud.]

I can always come back again later. [A flush creeps up into her cheeks.] Tomorrow, maybe.

[flamekthunder]

[At that he can't help but laugh a bit.]

It really doesn't matter to me. We can still look and if there's something you want you should go ahead and get it.

[starshower]

Okay fine...

[A dramatic sigh as she hides behind the dessert menu again.]

Guess I could also help carry some of the bags.

[flamekthunder]

[Cute. He'll just tap her foot with his own as if to poke her before he sits back.]

Have you decided on a dessert?

[Changing the topic to help her escape.]

[starshower]

[She's already well on her way to thinking about dessert.]

Not yet. You feel like sharing something...?
