He [i]would[/i] take it in stride. Shiori wasn't entirely sure why she thought she could get away with her comment if her words were about as shaky as an autumn leaf on a windy day. Well, it was out there, and now he had the wrong idea. That was on her, she should have put more effort into it. It wasn't like it was a total lie, either; he [i]did[/i] look good, she [i]did[/i] like it. Admitting it was just...difficult. [i]Especially[/i] when the recipient seemed to enjoy her struggling.

Crossing her arms, Shiori slouched down in her seat, throwing Totsuka a glare. He really said [i]she[/i] was the one to ask him out! You know what? She had nothing to lose. She already embarrassed herself, there was nothing more that could go wrong.

[color=pink]"I can't go asking you out again, it'll give you an ego,"[/color] She huffed. [color=pink]"Next time, [i]you're[/i] going to have to ask [i]me[/i] out."[/color]

[color=gold]"Planning the second date so soon? How wonderful!"[/color]

Shiori outright jumped up in her seat, though she immediately shrunk down, suddenly fascinated with the table. Harumi had returned with a tray of both drinks and the treats Shiori had requested. She placed the tray between them, her smile the same as always. 

[color=gold]"Please excuse the wait, it would seem we're still a little busier than usual,"[/color] She said. [color=GOLD]"I thought you could have your drinks and snacks in the meantime. But if you need ideas for a second date, I'm happy to make suggestions, Totsuka-kun."[/color]
