Dan smiled at Takita, as she blushed and smiled back, she didn't appear to be opposed to keeping the night going or to the wine he ordered. He was glad that they were able to spend more time together. Looking at her though Takita seemed to be pondering a question in her mind. Dan hummed and tried to guess what was bothering the girl. then he decided to ask as just sitting there silently would just be a fruitless effort. As he opened his mouth to speak, the girl before him asked if this was a date, barely able to stutter out the question. Dan blushed a deep crimson. He wanted this to be a date but he wasn't sure if that was what she wanted. Dan's worries were soothed only slightly as she said that it could be if he wanted it to be. He'd heard those words before and each time heard them they were all just pity dates. Dan chuckled, he could fight off several boars and wolves and other monsters, but he couldn't handle the question posed before him. He remembered hearing a quote once, something about great things could happen if you had just five seconds of insane courage. So he took a deep breath and steeled himself and said. "I-It could be... If y-you wanted it to b-be. I-I'd like t-that actually." 'So much for insane courage. I was babbling like an idiot' He thought as he blushed harder. He noticed she'd place her hand close to his so he took another step on this romantic road he was on and slid his hand across the table to brush the ends of his fingers against hers.

Takita noticed how her words caused him to blush in a crimson red. The girl found it cute how she had a such effect on the man in front of her. The red cheeks fit well with his tanned skin, she wanted to see more sides of him. Sides that you usually don't show with friends or acquaintances. As Takita let her hazel eyes study his facial features, the girl noticed a scar above his left eyebrow. Curiosity grew inside the girl before she snapped out of her deep thought as Pure seemed to be worried about something but she didn't think about it for too long as he asked her a similar question.

As she understood what he just asked Takita gave away a quiet squeal of surprise as she looked at him with bright red cheeks. Takita felt a warm feeling of happiness as his words was something she longed for. As words didn't leave her lips, Takita nodded quickly, causing her light brown locks to slide down from her shoulders where they had been resting.
'' I was scared you would reject the thought'' the girl said with a chuckle.

When Takita felt his fingertips touch hers, she carefully wrapped her fingers between his and looked at Pure in the corner of her eyes, too embarrassed to look him directly in his brown warm eyes. As Takita was going to say something, their waiter interupted with a smile as he held the bottle of wine for them to see. In his other hand, the man held two wine glasses. Swiftly, like it's been something he's done a milion times before. The waiter put their glasses down and filled them with the red wine from the bottle he had in his hand.
'' Enjoy the rest of your evening, we don't often see couples. Just bitter fighters. It's a nice change. '' the man said as a smile spread over his lips. It was obvious that the NPC was teasing them but at the same time he seemed genuine with what he said. As the waiter made his leave, a chuckle left the girls lips. A couple.. she thought as she turned her eyes to Pure, unsure what to say next as a milion thoughts and questions tried to take place at once.

Dan smiled widely and giggled as Takita squealed quietly and nodded quickly. He let himself relax as she threaded their fingers together and squeezed her hand gently. He was glad that she hadn't rejected him. Dan grinned widely as she said she was afraid he would have rejected her. "I was afraid you would have rejected me" He said with a laugh. It looked like the girl in front of her was about to something but the waiter came back with their wine. He poured them each a glass and said that seeing a couple was a nice change from the bitter fighters that usually frequented the restaurant. Takita then turned back to Dan, seeming unsure of what to say, so Dan to the lead. He took his wine glass carefully and held it up in front of him. "To new relationships... and new beginnings." He chuckled "I don't know, I'm not very good at making toasts." He waited for Takita to clink her glass with his and took a sip. This was the first time he had had wine but it tasted pretty good. He hummed at the taste as the dark liquid ran down his throat. It seemed to compliment the fish they'd had earlier.

As he grinned widely, Takita leaned back in her chair as she stroke his hand with her thumb. She found it funny how without knowing it, they both had been afraid of the same thing, rejection. Which didn't surprise her as she spent more thought to the whole idea. With her free hand Takita held the chilled glass as the red liquid hit the sides of the transparent glass.

Takita held back a little laugh as Pure stated that he's not very good with toasts but to her, his little toast was cute and somewhat refreshing. As their glass clinked together she put the glass to her lips, letting the dark liquid fill her mouth. As she swallowed the wine, a warm feeling spread around her throat as the alcohol smoothly went down. After her first sip, Takita put the glass down and gently touched the corners of the glass with her fingertip as she looked at him, remembering the scar above his left eyebrow.
'' How come you got a scar above your eyebrow? '' she said with a head tilt as she leaned towards him, gently tapping the scar above Pure's left eye.

Scares have always fascinated the young girl as the marks always carried a own story with them. Stories that could be from happy childhood memories or incidents from a playfight that turned into more then just pushing each other. The girl herself didn't have many scares besides the small ones on her hands from mistakes during the times she cooked her own meals which wasn't unusual in her household.

Dan hummed as he set the glass down. He chuckled as he realized the first drink he had wasn't even real. He hummed and his eyes slide up towards his left eyebrow as if trying to remember. "Oh, that old thing." He said with a smile. "Its no big deal. I don't remember it very well but apparently, I had this mirror on my door when I was really little and it fell on me and cut my eyebrow open." He laughed as he thought back to it. "I don't really remember what it felt like so there's that I guess." He picked up his glass and took another sip of the wine. "Now I have a question for you." Dan hummed as he tried to think of a question to ask. "What... is your favorite color?" He asked. It wasn't a big important question but he thought it was a good idea to start learning more about Takita, especially if they were going to start dating.

'' Adorable and clumsy as a child? '' she asked with a chuckle as she watched him take another sip from his class. Takita stayed leaning towards the table as she watched their hands holding each other. A smile spread accross her lips as she turned her face to Pure when he wanted to ask her a question.

Takita liften her left eyebrow waiting for the question as she listened to him hum. I wonder if he used to sing in the real world.. she thought as Pure often hummed as he thought. When he asked what her favourite colour was, Takita puffed her cheeks as she thought. It was a question she got a lot as a child but it was rare that she could give an answer. As the girl leaned her cheek against her free hand that some minute ago was touching the glass endges.
'' I would say light blue. As my starting gear. '' the girl said with a smile as her index finger pointed at the tunic she was wearing. It had a light blue colour, like the sky during a bright summer day, and along the neckline, white small lines followed it. Takita's starting gear looked the same as it did a few months ago, same boring brown belt around the waist with a similar blue colour for her skirt and a pair of boots covering the girls small feet.

Since gear was expensive for the girl. She didn't mind keeping what she already have, until she was forced to at least. Takita wanted to ask Pure the same question but figured that she would look somewhat uncreative. As she bit her lip, the girl looked around for something to give her an idea. It hit her when a fellow player walked in to the restuarant with a familiar next to them, the wolf pup looked happy along it's masters side.
'' Do you like animals? '' she asked as her eyes shined with excitment as she waited for an answer, the girl herself loved them, espcially dogs but she didn't discriminate, except maybe snakes... but that was another story since she was scared of the reptile.

Dan smiled and nodded. "Yeah, clumsy would be an appropriate adjective." He took another sip as Takita thought about what her favorite color was, leaving the glass a little less than half full. Dan followed her gaze as she looked around and he saw the player with a little pup walking next to him, panting happily, its tongue lolling out of its mouth. He thought it looked very, very cute. He swiveled his head back to Takita as the girl asked if he liked animals. Dan chuckled "Do I like animals?" He said to himself. "I love animals!" He chuckled. "I love all animals, dogs, cats, birbs. I love them all, though I prefer dogs. How about you?" You could usually tell a lot about a person from how they felt about animals. When he saw the little wolf he thought about getting the animal trainer skill, either through his next level up, or if he got another two talent tomes he could use them to get the skill.

'' Dogs. Especially fluffy ones. Like a Samoyed. But I like all animals. Except snakes. '' she with a disgusted noice. Ever since she was a little kid and had the bad luck to anger a snake, the reptile has been a mad memory. Takita kept looking at the pup from the corner of her eye as she brought the wine glass to her lips. The cold transparent glass felt nice against her soft pink lips.

The crimson wine entered her lips and yet against spread it's warmth to her face, causing her cheeks and shoulders to get a rosy colour or what others would call an alcohol flush. Since her tunic wasn't long armed, her shoulders were open to see as the usual pale skin became rosy. As her gaze looked at the glass she noticed how she's been drinking around half of it. A chuckle slipt through her lips as she leaned towards, looking at Pure.
'' Have you ever kissed someone? '' the question left her without much thought to it as the alcohol gave her some kind of courage.

Before she could say anything else, someone cleared their throat. Takita looked up with puffy cheeks as the waiter gave her a warm smile.
'' I would just like to inform the that the meal with wine would be 60 col. '' His soft voice made Takita lean back as the transparent window blocked her vision. As she accepted the trade and 60 col got taken from her account, the waiter excused himself and left yet again to help other quests.

Dan nodded as Takita said that she preferred fluffy dogs. He chuckled a bit. "Man, I wish I had a dog. My Mom never lets me get one. We had a goldfish once but he... died." He didn't want to tell her that he technically killed it. How was he supposed to know that fish didn't like warm water? He took his glass to his lips and poured it back, the dark liquid flowing past his tongue and down his throat. He closed his eyes and hummed at the taste, the alcohol starting to take its effect on the first timer, the blush slowly rising to his cheeks. As he gazed across at his dinner partner. It appeared the alcohol was having an effect on her too as the blush was evident on her face and her shoulders. 'They do look nice.' He thought. He blinked at himself. 'Where did that come from," he thought. 'Must be the alcohol talking.' He blushed harder though as she asked if he'd ever kissed anyone. Unless his Mom counted that would be a no, and he certainly wasn't going to count her. Thankfully the waiter delayed his inevitable embarrassment. Though he was quickly dealt with as Takita paid the man and he went off. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he spoke, the blush still evident on his face. "I uh... actually... haven't kissed anybody." He looked down at the table as he finished. He was sure Takita ha her share of boyfriends in her life while he'd never even been on a real date before.

'' Me neither.. '' she started as she leaned her cheek against her hand that felt cold against her heated cheeks.
'' I kinda wanted it to special, you know? But I haven't really dated anyone either so the opportunity never came. '' Prior to her time in the game, relationships and love wasn't something that the girl would think about. She was often occupied with other things but she didn't dwell on it too much.

Despite her curiousity Takita decided not to ask Pure if he had any prior relationships. The thoughts of him with others was unpleasnt to the girl, causing a disgusted noice to leave her lips as she drew her fingertips along her wine glass, leaving a mark behind as her finger tip caused the light fog to disappear as her body heat touched it. There wasn't much wine left in the glass infront of her but it was enough to make her feel the effects it brought with it.

As she realised that she was stil holding Pure's hand, the girl released it as she gently pressed her palm against his, comparing their hand sizes. Takita gave him a warm smile before she yet again embraced the warmth of his hand against her skin. If time just could stop for a moment she thought as she closed her eyes, humming quietly on a familiar song that she heard on the streets of Towns of beginnings some weeks ago.

Dan's mouth fell open slightly hearing that not only had Takita never kissed anyone before but she also had never had dated anyone before. "Seriously?" He asked. "I'm sure you must have had plenty of gentlmen callers knocking on your door." He smiled in disbilief but he was interally relieved. He didn't like the idea of her with another guy, even though it was only their first date. He looked at his glass to see there was only a little left, so he swirled it around his glass, tilted his head back and downed it. "Well if it makes you feel better I've never had a girlfriend either." He shrugged smiling slightly as he ran his finger around the rim of the glass, a small sound emitted from it as it vibrated. He hummed in delight as she pressed their palms together. His hand was bigger than hers. His was big and rough while hers was smaller and delicate. He wrapped his thumb around the back of her hand and smiled. As he looked around the table he realized that they were finished with dinner. He considered asking Takita something but was nervous as to how it would be perceived. Maybe he recieved some random bought of courage from the gods, or maybe it was the alcohol but he decided to ask. "Where are you staying tonight?" Dan knew that players either stayed in an inn or they slept in the streets as it made no difference. He didn't want her sleeping in the streets for obvious reason, but he didn't want her paying for a room since she just paid for their dinner.

A chuckle left her lips as she opened her eyes as she shook her head at his statement.
'' I don't have any memory of getting asked. But then again I had other things that craved my attention. '' she mumbled as she in vain tried to recall any sort of memory conected to her relations to the opposite gender. Takita couldn't help to feel some kind of joy as Pure never had been with anyone prior to their new reality but she wouldn't tell him that as she felt a bit ashamed over her feels about it.

Takita looked at their hands as he wrapped his tumb around the back of her hand, she smiled happily before she started traced to trace his palm lines with her fingertips. She felt so small compared to Pure but it didn't bother the girl. Her gaze turned to him as his question reached her. It took Takita a few minutes before she could give him a straight answer. Since she couldn't have her own house nor had the money for one. Takita often spent her night in an Inn.
'' Most likely an Inn at the first floor, How come? ''

Now that the time had come to ask the question he could feel his face heat up. It was only the first date and he was asking the girl to stay at his home. He began stuttering. "W-well you see... I-I got a house in the E-Easter event on the second floor and I-I thought... I-I was wondering if m-maybe, if you wanted, you c-could stay at m-my house. I-it's cheaper than stayin in an inn, and safer than staying in the streets." He took a deep breath, relieved to have said it. His eyes widened though and he quickly added. "Of course if you don't want to I completely understand." Once again he titled his head down, his cheeks bright red. He couldn't believe he asked that but at the same time he was happy he did.

Takita stared at him as the light rosy colour from the alcohol became crimson red from embarrassment.
'' W-Where wo-would you sl-sleep? '' she shuttered as she stil tried to let the idea of staying at Pure's home to sink in. The more the thought settled in, the bigger the embarrasment grew for the girl. Takita had never had strong feeling for another person before, yet alone been on a date. As new thoughts entered her mind, Takita squealed quietly and covered her face. She didn't want to say no to the offer but her voice refused to obey her as the girl wanted to give him a straight answer.

Takita leaned towards him and gently poked his cheek to get his attention as Pure had turend his gaze away from her after his question. She held her breath as she noticed that because of the alcohol, Takita leaned in closer then intended.
'' I wouldn't mind staying with you.'' she whispered as their forehead almost touched. With burning cheeks, Takita slowly leaned back to her chair, looking out the window as the sky was glimmering with white stars in the dark night. How embarrassing.. she thought with a chuckle as she covered her lips with a closed hand.

Dan nodded as Takita asked where he would sleep. He briefly considered saying with her, but again he didn't realizing that was just the wine talking. Instead he spoke from the clear part of his brain. "I would sleep on my couch, you could take the bed." He said. Dan smiled and chuckled as she squealed and covered her face with her hand. 'She's so cute.' He thought fondly. The giggled slightly as she lean toward him and poked his cheek. She said she wouldn't mind staying with him. She had leaned in close enough that he could smell her breath, the wine still fresh. Their foreheads almost pressed together. He wanted to lean closer, to connect their lips and kiss her deeply. But he held back, he knew he shouldn't kiss on the first date, it wasn't classy. So he held back, he restrained himself. Takita sat back in her chair and began looking out the window. He looked at her and then gazed out at the stars and the lights of the village. But he quickly changed his view to look at Takita, and just stared, drinking in her beauty. After a few minutes, he shook his head smiling and stood. "We should get going." He withdrew 9 Col from his account and put in on the table as a tip for the waiter. As he walked past his date he said, "Oh, and don't forget your cloak, miss seal." He giggled as he held his hand out for her to take.
