well- no, i guess not- you blink. you arent sure what exactly to say now... but it feels too late to do something about the order...
ill just eat mine when i get home...
"no, no.. its fine..." she looks away
you dont really know what else to do....so you guess youll try to change the subject
[[so... you drink lattes?]]
[[so... have you found any other nice restaurants around?]]
"oh... are you sure? you wouldnt mind?"
you shake your head. sure, you were looking forward to the omlette, but its no big deal. psshh. i dont really like spinach anyways... you chuckle. i only really wanted it to look healthy. you smile, and she smiles back. sweet.
"thank you... i'd appreciate that..."
you smile back.
you consult the menu, and decide to reorder french toast with strawberries.
ah, waitress! you page her down, and fortunately you didnt waste much time, and they hadnt even started cooking the omlette yet. phewwww. you let out a sigh of relief and turn your focus back to your date. you cant help but notice the chirping of a few birds outside as you sit in silence for a moment

she nods and smiles "ive been working on a cardigan..." she beams "here, i have a photo..." she smiles, and pulls it up on her phone. insert cardigan photo here
ohhhh!! this is lovely... ive.. crocheted a little, when i was a kid... im not sure i would retain any of that knowledge.
"its not too hard to pick up... i wouldnt mind showing you how sometime.."
really? id like that.." you smile, and she smiles back. this is going a lot better than it was a little while ago... phew.
[[your omlette?]] she sits and considers the question for a moment "mmm.. thats hard..." she murmurs. "maybe... fall? its a good balance between warm and cold..."
you nod your head and smile
"what about you?"
oh. me? mmm... it is a hard quetsion, now that youre getting it yourself. "i guess... all of them? no, maybe spring.." you laugh a bit, and she smiles
you smile. still a lot of small talk, but you dont mind... it seems like shes starting to warm up after her allergy worrying.

she shrugs her shoulders, but does smile slightly. "um... i started reading berserk.." she glances away, but its clear that shes regained some interest "its about this guy, his name is G-... well i wouldn't want to get too into it.. i'd have to spoil anything."
you smile. ahhhh, i see.. ill have to check it out then, huh?
"theres an anime too, if thats easier... though i havent watched so im not sure if its very good"
you nod your head
[[i prefer reading]]
[[maybe we can watch together?]]have you... been watching anything recently? movies? or.. just shows i suppose...
"hmm..." she seems to think for a moment. "well... i dont really watch a lot of things but.... i've been kinda getting into..." she blinks, and pauses mid sentence
what? what is it?
"well its kinda embarrassing..."
you shake your head. im sure its no big deal.... you reassure her, and she seems to lighten up just enough
"well, ive been watching teen titans go..."
[[smile and nod]]
[[laugh in response]]she nods her head "yeah, i get that.. i tend to prefer it too." she hums
ill have to write this down so i dont forget... you chuckle. and then, once i finish, ill give you something that i like....
her eyes go a bit wide at this "ah.. yeah?" she smiles
yeah.. i have a few ideas already... maybe i could put you onto... dungeon meshi? or maybe trigun.... you find yourself pondering this deeply.... so deeply that you dont even notice her smiling at you as you do so for another minute or so. ah! you exclaim, and she laughs soflty. it seems like she feels a little better...
[[your omlette?]] her eyes widen "r-really? well.. l-like i said, im not sure how faithful the adaptation is...."
you shake your head. thats alright, i'm sure it'll be fun either way....
she blushes softly, but nods her head. "yeah.. that might.. that might be fun." she smiles sweetly.
she definitely seems a little bit nervous about the prospect, but you cant help but notice the small twinkle in her eye, too.
[[your omlette?]] she smiles, and a blush creeps onto her cheeks. "i grew up watching teen titans, and i know the new one looks kinda stupid... and well... it is kinda stupid.... but theres something charming about it..."
you nod again, listening to her. yeah, i watched it when i was younger too... i really liked starfire
she lights up. "starfire is lovely.. i think beast boy has always been my favorite.." she muses, and hums. "well, the new cartoon kind of knows that it isnt very good, it seems... and its pretty easy to put on whenever i need something easy..."
you smile. maybe i'll have to check it out!
her eyes widen and she quickly shakes her head "well..! maybe you dont have to do all that!!!" she exclaims. shes really embarrassed by this inerest!
you laugh at this. fine, fine... ill let it be your thing, then.
she seems to sigh, relieved, and smiles confortably at you.
[[your omlette?]] you cover your hand over your mouth, but its too late. youve already let a laugh slip.
she frowns, and looks away.
o-oh yeah? you stammer, trying to regain yourself. how.. how is it?
she shakes her head. "well... its a kids show." she responds flatly
theres nothing wrong with that.... you say, but she doesnt seem very responsive anymore.... shoot
[[your omlette?]] she blinks. "oh.. uh, yeah, i do.." she murmurs
you just smile at her for a moment. why was THIS your idea for a conversation segway? what the hell are you supposed to ask her about her latte drinking habits?? ummm.. have you seen the new lavender matcha at starbucks?
she seems slightly intrigued "oh? no, i havent.. i dont really like matcha, but... lavender could be nice..." she murmurs
ohhh man. i really like matcha... you respond. i bet smaller cafes would sell a lavender drink,,, without the matcha.
she smiles and nods her head. "mmm.. id try that.."
you nod your head at her. well.... alright. that couldve gone better but, at least you learned something new about her... you suppose
[[your omlette?]] "um...." she thinks for a moment. "yeah, actually... theres a really good thai place.. its maybe a ten minute walk from here, actually.."
oh yeah? maybe we can go there next... and i'll make sure not to get any spinach. you tease
she smiles softly at this, "how kind..." she teases back. "but thanks... that could be nice..."
she still seems a little down, but certainly not as much as she was a moment ago.
