Picnics and some "First" Encounters [Closed Log]

[dragoonrouge]

Date: 23rd June
Characters: Ben and Sadie

Sadie dashes about her room, digging through her closet and packing items away into her rucksack. Tarp-bottomed blanket, check. Rain mac and large umbrella, check. Plastic plates and cups, check. Thermos of tea, check. They were going to grab food on route so she doesn't have to worry about that. Oh, jacket! She makes sure to fish that out too and puts it on before grabbing her bag and heading downstairs.

"I'm good to go, Ben! Are you ready too?"

That's adorable and deserves another kiss, "Just ask. I will be oh so wonderfully surprised. Woo me, not that that'll be hard." She giggles, "Nearly anything will work as long as it comes from you, to be honest."

Just ask. It sounds less improbable coming from Sadie, and it leaves him a chance to breathe before joking lightly, “So...don’t overthink it is what I’m hearing.”

Maybe for once he can let the right time come rather than trying to plan everything.

Blush or not, Benjiro leans back a little further so that he can see her face once more with his smile refreshed if shy. He chuckles once, “You know, I had all these questions to ask, and now I can’t think of a single one.”

"Weelllllllll, I'd never ask the impossible. Asking you to stop overthinking completely would be like stopping the sun on its axis. Luckily that big brain of yours is one of my favourite things about you."

She laughs, there's no other way she can react to that except to laugh, ears wiggling away. "Really?! What a delightful surprise! Would you like me to tone it down?"

His smile is humbled by her humorous compliment, the boy looking down momentarily as he murmurs a word of thanks. At least with the cool air, his blush is not as uncomfortable as it could be as it lingers on.

Her laughter is what draws him into chuckling as he smiles widely, “Hey, there’s no need to take drastic measures. I meant the thoughtful questions I came up with from other days. I still have plenty of simple ones.”
