The... You know, the b-balcony? O-Or, Uhm, we could... We could just, go to the bar or something, I don't know.[/color]" Said Naoko, she was now stood up all weird, but still formal enough for the atmosphere due to her Japanese heritage and her understanding of respect. She looked the one up and down before holding her hand out for her again, but this time Naoko was more shaky and flimsy with her posture which was very prominent on her hands. Naoko continuously yelled at herself on the inside to not screw this up, this is [b]the[/b] chance to stop this dating hiatus that has been ongoing in her life since she moved to New York. Tiffany always said that she would love to see Naoko happy again in terms of relationships. But as of this moment, Naoko could feel her chest warm up from some fuzzy feeling forming inside her, was it her courage mustering up so she could speak like a normal person? Maybe. She then got deep in her thoughts for a second, and she remember one crucial thing about her that she needed to get out there. "[color=#ffd1dc]Or maybe, a dance? That's kinda my specialty after all.[/color]" Naoko added as she jerked her head towards the dance floor so that they can share a dance together, but being that she just met Barbara, she just reinstated the original plan of "[color=#ffd1dc]Or we really could just stick with the bar or the balcony. [/color]" She wouldn't want to make herself look like a complete idiot. When Noemi spoke up, Naoko just pointed away from the table and quickly said "[color=#ffd1dc]We're going somewhere else, just leave us two chairs next to each other yeah?[/color]" She hoped they would follow this wish of hers.[/color][/indent]
