Ahmal could see the younger fairy's slightly redden face as she failed to conceal a blush. Or rather failed in his mind, considering how often he saw such expressions, especially around this time of year, but he didn't think much of it. Although, the adorable smile that she returned to him made his heart skip a beat. Maybe something for the medical report. Of course, it wouldn't be as amusing as it seemed in his head. He made no move to avoid the girl as she pushed a flower into his hair. He returned a grin as he accepted the bouquet, [color=a187be]"Thanks."[/color] He replied in his usual soft voice. He'd never gotten one before, but it was a nice gesture. In the back of his mind, he knew that this was a little odd for a 'professional relationship' that they needed to abide by, perhaps he needed to dial back on the enjoyable 'back and forth'. He listened to her usual spiel as he put the flowers in a small vase, placing it onto a window sill near the door. Mentally, he checked off the list as he usually would. 'No' was a resounding answer to just about all the questions, but he could think of a few funny things to respond with. Those may come later if he was to... succeed at something he was apprehensive about. [color=a187be]"Everything feels fine. My wound has healed up quite nicely."[/color] He replied in a placid manner. [color=a187be]"Thanks to you."[/color] He added with a warm smile. He realized that this would be the last time they had to see each other, unless he was to injure himself again. It was a sad thought indeed, but it was part of her job as a physician. She had no reason to come back here if there was nothing wrong. But this was possibly the best and only moment to ask. There was a small silence that hung between them after his answer. His heart beat faster as he mustered the courage to say something to break the silence. [color=a187be]"If you don't mind me asking.."[/color] He began, it was obvious that he was getting nervous about something, which was quite uncharacteristic of him. He took a somewhat deep breath before continuing, [color=a187be]"Would you... Would you like to accompany me to the Equinox Ball tonight?"[/color] He said finally. He could feel his heart pumping hard. He hoped that she didn't misunderstand anything. He was sure that he said it right... right?
