[He closes his eyes, easily obliging, but he's incredibly curious as to the purpose. His heart can't help but beat a bit faster in anticipation, though he still seems rather calm on the outside.
He smiles more upon hearing her questions. Is he supposed to answer them, eyes closed? He prefers a more direct confession, but this is rather romantic in its own right.]
I just answered the question honestly. But I wonder. What I can say is that your presence puts me at ease.
[He laughs again, bringing a hand to cover his mouth as an attempt to stifle it. Ah, so this is a test. He's not to be underestimated, though. When he meets a girl, he looks at her directly and takes note of everything.]
[Judging by her response, he feels that it's probably safe to open his eyes now, and so he does. Yep, there's those pretty blue eyes looking right back at him.]
Oh, was there a prize riding on it? Well, I'm not averse to another tour, but we could consider it a date if you'd like.
It's not so much that I'm prepared... I just noticed them, is all.
I'm always serious, but that was a bit of a joke right now. [So which is it? Is he serious or not??] You always have the right to refuse if it makes you uncomfortable. Date or not, I'm happy just to get the chance to enjoy your company.
Not everyone is paying attention, you know. And I'll give you credit for that.
[If she tried to ask one of her friends back at home (whose attitude to girls is quite similar to his by the way), he probably wouldn't get it right. But maybe she's just underestimating another boy again? Who knows.]
It's just a bit weird...dating here, I mean.
[She's looking up in the sky again, clearly thinking this all over. It doesn't take too much time for her to decide, though.]
Alright. [She takes a deep breath and turns to him, pointing her index finger up and then at Ryuu.] I, Kaori Miyazono, shall be your date today!
[He doesn't find it too weird, personally. Why put your entire life on hold because of an incredibly bizarre situation or two, right? He patiently waits for her response, however, perfectly willing to accept whatever she decides.
But then, seeing how dramatically she points towards him, he feels just a pinch of uncertainty along with the anticipation of her decision. Will this be a bold confession or an equally bold rejection? Fortunately, it lands in his favor.
He laughs, internally applauding her gesture. It was a fun display, and he has to give credit to her for setting the scene just right.]
I, Ryuu Zaou, humbly accept.
[And he holds out a hand for her to take if she'd like...]
Since this has become official now, that means from now on, it's ladies' choice of where to go and what to do.
[It's a surprise enough how quickly her fingers intertwine with his, but once she quickly starts moving, he has to react just as fast to keep up with her. Thrown off guard, he stumbles a bit on the first step, but he falls into her pace easily enough after that.]
Heh, I can't say that I have! Did you just remember about some sort of limited edition item they sell or something like that?
Nope, I'm just hungry! Being a tour guide is tiring and now I can have you give me your dessert!
[This girl has priorities too...]
And it's even better if you haven't been here! You should know that the cafeteria is...well, maybe not your best dating spot but good nutrition is important, after all!
[She slows down the moment they're back in the hallway and starts hopping to avoid the branches again.]

Close your eyes! [Not really a question, but oh well.] Only me? That's really sweet of you. Have you really fallen for me so quickly?

[She turns away from him just in case he'd like to cheat and open his eyes.]
I mean, what's my eye color?
no subject
That's easy; they're blue.

[Being outwitted hurts a little, but she can't help it. With her cheek puffed, she wonders what the prize could be.]
Another tour?

[That's what she gets for underestimating him.]
Oh, okay. It would be unfair to say no, I guess! But...don't try anything funny, alright?

It would be cruel if you didn't accept the prize.
[Her eyes lock on his hand for a longer moment and she sighs with a thoughtful expression on her face.]
You know what?
[And then, without any warnings, Kaori wraps her fingers around his hand and starts running, trying to pull Ryuu along.]
I'm hungry. Have you been to the cafeteria already?
