[ yang fiddles with the hem of her shirt while mitsuru mulls over her question. the blushing is a good sign, yeah? and the fact that she wasn't laughed out of the restaurant as soon as she showed up underdressed and overconfident is also good, right? ugh, yang hasn't felt this nervous about anything...well. ever.
it's just that this feels. special. even if this turns into nothing more than friendship, she doesn't want to screw this up.
when mitsuru admits she isn't exactly familiar with dating herself, yang lets out a quiet sigh of relief. maybe now it'll be easier to talk to each other. ]
Honestly? Neither have I. Everything at home's really, [ a pause as she tries to come up with a suitable word that encapsulates the fall of beacon and its fallout that won't completely derail the conversation, ] complicated.
Turns out that saving the world doesn't leave a lot of time for dating. [ yang gets the sense that she knows plenty about that, unfortunately. ]
[ Mitsuru knows all too well, judging by the knowing, slightly morose chuckle that punctuates the sentence.
[ Still, Yang's plan seems to be working. The admission and the commiseration have drained a bit of the tension from Mitsuru's shoulders. She's still nervous, of course, but knowing that they're both unfamiliar with the expected ettiquette of a date removes some of the weight of expectation. ]
I must admit, I'm surprised. With how confidently you spoke during our online interactions, I wouldn't have guessed that you share my inexperience.
