April sighed as she smoothed out the dress she's wearing; she had been nervous for most of the day and it didn't seem like it was going away any time soon, despite her attempts to convince herself that no, she will not mess this up somehow.

But, she forces herself to calm down and hesitantly walks out of the rooms bathroom (she had went in there to change, since she didn't think wearing her usual shorts+shirt would be the best thing to wear), glancing over to her roommate.

"Um, you ready to go, Ledah?"

"Huh? N-no, it's okay, I've just... never really heard of some of this food before..."

The last part comes out as an embarrassed mumble. She tended to cook a lot, but she didn't know as many foods as she had thought she did.

[gaveupfeeling]

"I don't recognize some of the fruits from home, but I've tried them before."

[technologic]

"Hmm..." She looks over the menu again, frowning in thought.

"... Do you know what you're gonna order?"

[gaveupfeeling]

"Perhaps the steak," Ledah decides after a moment. "And you?"

[technologic]

"Ummmmm..." Some more squinting at the menu before she makes her decision. "I'll try the, um, spaghetti."

Good thing April has made her decision, since here's the waiter, who April quickly gives her order to with only minor stuttering.

[gaveupfeeling]

Ledah gives his order as well, then turns back to her. "Thank you once again for inviting me out."

[technologic]

April blushes faintly, but gives him a small smile.

"Oh, y-you're welcome. I just t-thought it would be nice if we did something like this."

[gaveupfeeling]

"We should go out more often." Ledah says this nonchalantly.

[technologic]

Annnd cue the blush getting a bit brighter, but her smile brightens.

"I-I agree... Is there anything you would want to do if we got out again?"

[gaveupfeeling]

"...Could we fly kites again?" Ledah asks quietly.

[technologic]

A blink, before she grins happily and nods.

"Yeah, I would love that! We can go do that whenever you want, since I'm not busy anytime soon.

... Oh, that's what I can do for thanking you for helping me with my nightmares; I buy a kite for you."

She nods to herself, thinking it's a good idea.

[gaveupfeeling]

"I would be happy to accept that as repayment." A wide smile. "I look forward to spending the time with you."

[technologic]

She should really try to stop blushing, but she does grin and nod happily.

"I-I'm looking forward to spending the time with you, too."

And since the restaurant is pretty small, it doesn't take long for the waiter to serve their food, and it does look good. Now April just needs to figure how to eat spaghetti.

[gaveupfeeling]

"...you twirl it around your fork so that there isn't as much hanging down."

Oh dear, April.

[technologic]

H-hey, she's never seen or eaten anything like this before... Though she still goes faintly red again with embarrassment before giving him a nod.

"Ah, r-right."

She does what he says without too much of a problem, and once she's taken a bite of her food, she nods a few times.

"Ah, this tastes pretty good! Is your food all right?"

[gaveupfeeling]

"It's excellent. Thank you for asking."

Probably better than that other restaurant log recently. Cough, cough.

[technologic]

Pfffft.

"That's good. Looks like I made the right decision in choosing this place."

She munches on her food some more, before a thought comes to mind. "... Hey, um, say if I made food like this one day, w-would it be all right if I asked you to, u, taste-test some of them? Since it's good to have a second opinion..."

[gaveupfeeling]

Smile. "I would be perfectly willing to - that seems reasonable."

[technologic]

"Thank you, Ledah! I've been wanting to improve on my cooking for a while, so this'll be a big help."

She's pretty much radiating happiness at this point.

[gaveupfeeling]

"All you need to do is ask."

Ledah too seems pleased, if in a more subdued fashion.

[technologic]

She gives a nervous giggle, though she nods in agreement.

"True... Um, I'll admit that I've been nervous about asking you somethings before, since I thought they were silly things to ask."

She twirls some spaghetti around her fork in thought for a moment.

"But still, it makes me happy to know you're okay with helping me out."

[gaveupfeeling]

"Of course. I would not spend so much time with you if I did not wish to be in your company, April." His lips quirk up a little more at that.

[technologic]

She could feel her face start to warm up again, but she can't help smiling some more.

"T-thank you. I really like spending time with you, so I'm happy to hear that.

... Then, I guess that means it's all right if I asked you out to dinner again one day?"

[gaveupfeeling]

"I would be all right with that," Ledah answered without hesitation.

[technologic]

"That's great! Then I'll make sure to ask you again one day."

Now she smiles cheerfully, though her expression soon turns thoughtful.

"And, ah, since I don't think I've said it yet... Thank you, for coming out with me tonight. I'm, um, really happy you did."
