NEVER | NOT REALLY | MAYBE | NOT BAD | MMMMM | HELL YES | TAKE ME NOW | THERE GO MY PANTS

  ⟨ ペチュニア — “ Wha—- “ a surprised grunt is what the girl made as her face was - being CLEANED UP, apparently. Did this guy think with his guts or what? Both hand pushed harshly the guy’s arm, standing on the defensive stance while she’s at it. “ This— that isn’t how you fix it, idiot! Just a tissue is fine. Or an ‘I’m sorry’, really. What the fuck… “ hand comes up to wipe clean her face, almost as if afraid of being infected by a stranger’s germs. ⟩

          “I’m just tryin’ to help.” Mumbled Ken as he held the arm that she had so harshly pushed. Thankfully, his normal arm was the one that had been pushed and not his electromechanical one -- harsh jerks weren’t always painless. “Well, I’m sorry? It’s not like I meant to sneeze on you. It just happened. You don’t have to be so mean about it.”

           “Right, sure. Maybe you can take me out for a drink then.” The way she says it is casual enough as she shrugs her shoulders back, glancing up at him. “If by pretty chill, I think you mean a little dense.”

“Are you sure? He’s great at reviving stuff–” Kouta, do you not understand what you just said? Kiyoshi is a snake, not a priest, & he doesn’t have revival powers - unless you’re talking about his tea.

           “I’m positive.” He says while scratching the back of his neck. Awkward. He just wanted a kiss from the other but it was a no go. “I’m alive.” People didn’t have reviving abilities anyway.

   ⟨ ペチュニア — “ … Wow. “ that was… gross. Not even an ‘I’m sorry’?? EW. Cue disgusted face and furrowed eyebrows. “ I’m - I’m speechless. Disgusting. “ ⟩

            Oh. Now, he realized just what he had done. “Uh.” Ken then takes his shirt and raises -- wiping the other off. “Um, wow, I’m sorry. It just came out of no where.” he says while he was cleaning. “See, look, I’m fixing it.” Ken, just stop, you’re making matters worse.

                “So you met a girl at a bar but you don’t know that girls do go drinking?” Frankly, that barely made any sense to her as she sighs and draws a hand through her hair. It was hard to believe anyone could be so oblivious. “Boys are confusing too.”

           Wait. Now that she had said his own words back to him -- he felt stupid. “What I meant was more girls should go drinking.” Yeah, right. Ken, you know you’re just trying to save your own butt. “We’re not. We’re pretty chill.” Haha, what a lie.

‘ Wait, what? ‘ She looks behind her shoes  and see’s a whole lot of nothing. ‘ What the Hell, man!? Don’t say things like and don’t mean it! ‘

          “-- I was just kidding!” Wow, he didn’t think she was going to get so mad. She even cursed at him! “-- you were suppose to laugh!”

“I’ll get Kiyoshi-san then!” Totally not sacrificing his mama snake just so he doesn’t have to kiss a stranger, if he did that said mama snake would be angry at his baby fox. 

            At the suggestion of another person -- Ken was now magically okay. “Nevermind, death has let me live again. I’m okay. No need to go get your friend or whatever.” 

             There couldn’t be any possible way one man could possibly be so dense, could he? This was starting to get a little worrisome. “When exactly is the last time you’ve been to a bar? Or you know, talked to a girl?”

          “Huh? I was in a bar last night.” Ken answered while glancing over his shoulder at her. “And, I’m pretty sure I took a girl back to my hotel last night. We didn’t do much talking, though.” Wait, was that too much information? Probably. “Girls confuse me.” He mumbles. “Honestly, they’re like aliens or something.” Oh. “No offense or anything.”

            “Kinda.” She couldn’t say much either given how as a magician she moved from place to place and she’d only been here for the week. “I passed one a while ago. And yeah, I don’t think you’ll ever find a girl in a bar. That’s just weird.”

           “Awesome.” He says through the crunching of the cone he had made his way down to. “Why? I mean, don’t girls like to drink? Plus, there’s pool and all that stuff.” Honestly, Ken, are you listening to yourself? Can you tell he hasn’t been with a women besides a one night stand in a while?

           STARTER CALL!

             Had he never met a girl before or something? Well, she’d avoid teasing him for now since she did like bunnies and socks. “Alright, that’s fine. And yeah, it is pretty boring for most of them.”

          Girls were confusing. Beautiful but confusing. “Alright, lets go.” He says while turning and beginning to walk. “Do you know a good shoe store? I’m actually pretty new to this place.” He’s a drifter -- he just arrived not too long ago. “Girls should try and spice it up. Like, go drinking or something.” And, he’s back to that, again.
