I get the feeling you've been a little misinformed about the true nature of "picking up"...
[But that's not surprising seeing as it's a commonly misjudged practice. Most people seem to view it under some negative light, but that's only because of the lecherous, desperate men aforementioned who keep giving it a bad name!]
Uwa, creepy! It's no wonder you've come to expect that sort of impression.
[Putting that topic aside, he's eager to set himself apart from that kind of image. At her request, he motions for her to follow as he starts walking towards the door, holding it open for her once they reach it.]
Well, men have needs, right? It's still super gross, but I figured maybe it was something all guys do.
[Is she wrong? Only partially. She's never really met a "player" before, everyone she knows is basically a dork. She steps inside after him and gives him a small curtsy, imitating something she'd seen earlier.]
And here we are, back at the hallways. If what they're saying is true, this is going to be our scenery for a while, huh?
[#notallguys, Precis! Actually, she's probably not entirely wrong, either. But really, he's just going to leave that there for now.]
Seems like it. Not like it's all that unusual, but it does kinda suck to never get a break from it. All the more reason why we've got to make the most of it in our own way, though. Don't you agree?
[With a nod, he gestures for her to follow again as he starts slowly walking down the hall, waiting for her to catch up so he can match her pace.]
[And so, just like that, Precis meets her first meninist. What an exciting first day at school!]
I...mostly agree! We have to make the best of it, but I'm also going to find a way out. If there's an entrance, there's an exit. No amount of "spookiness" can change that. We just have to find it.
[She follows quickly; she might be small, but she has a lot of energy. Her walking pace is pretty fast.]
Oh. Maybe it's both. [Aaaand her smile is gone.] I've got a cute guy back home who hasn't finished falling in love with me yet, but we were in the middle of something really important. They're probably all in a panic without me there to guide them.
[He notices, but in her place, he offers a smile of his own as he folds his arms behind his head.]
So that's how it is. Then I guess I'll have to give it a serious attempt, too. I don't like the idea of handing you off to some other cute guy, but if it's what you want, then that's what I'll do.
how do you even write a tag like that without dying?!!?! he's so awful

Hmmm. I'll let you be the judge of that.

[Of course, he only invited her inside to find a friend for his daughter, but...the imagery, it stays.]
I guess I'll find out as we go on our walk, huh? Shouldn't you be leading the way right about now?

Right this way. Please watch your step.

You're right! I'm certain that we'll find the exit as well, but...
[He turns toward her, looking just a bit forlorn at the idea.]
That would also mean that my time with you would come to an end, so maybe I'm all right with putting it off for just a while.

Yep, you're definitely a dangerous guy, I've decided. I don't think that's a bad thing, though.
