she's entirely serious.[break][break]

and he isn't declining nor rejecting her, so she'll take that as a green light. rather, her mind wanders as she gazes out towards the herd of rolling sheep, a smile to her face as whilst idly humming. "so a kalosian dinner before a date in galor? i think that sounds plenty fun~" that is, she hopes that he'd take a liking to kalosian cuisine. it was something she was most confident in, after all. [break][break]

the breeze blows, and she tucks a tuft of pale, golden locks behind her ear as it gently hits her face. everything seemed peaceful here. or.. peaceful enough. "... ah, i'm half jesting~" she giggles, eyes fixated on the rolling pokemon and her smaller pokemon "a one time date is different from a few night vacation, after all."

a familiar sight. the malformed drake greets her with what she assumes is a smile, and she returns the energy with a grin to her face. she waves a hand in response to the flapping flipper. as.. weird as it is, it's pretty cute. it's a shame that it can't be brought back in its full, actual glory. she pats its head with her other hand, stroking the.. top(?) of its head. "hello there~. i'm happy to see that you're doing well!"[break][break]

she only pulls her attention away from the drake, to step into the home and lock the door behind her. she tilts her body to catch a glimpse of the man on the couch, and she chirps up as she moves to the kitchen, bags in hand. "hello love~" the kalosian woman chimes, beginning to unpack the ingredients she took her time to buy. "you sound excited~"

the travel will most certainly be worth it - though she could argue that the travel itself was a reward. or maybe it was the view of him reaching up towards her, arms outstretched and ready to catch her for when she drops down. if you told her that would be what she's signing up for, she'd say that's plenty reason to go, alone. no need to bribe her with a scenery when she has the view in front of her. [break][break]

still, she's careful on her way off the boulder. one leg in front of the other as she lowers herself, until she can place both her hands in his. "i don't think i've done this much traversing in a while--" she's careful on her way down, if only to keep the picnic prepared in her bag from getting crushed.

perhaps the idea was a little absurd. that doesn't stop her from wanting to entertain it, however. [break][break]

"at the very least, it would help us with this mission~" it would have helped her with a lot more than just the mission, but she'll choose to push those thoughts in the back of her mind, lest she begin entertaining the idea as she side-eyes the salazzle-- [break][break]

they're walking, and suddenly a bright idea lights up the bulb over her head. following him, and tugging his sleeve shortly after the employees leave them to their own devices. "... have i ever told you that i had a salazzle?~"

she had a few ideas, though his probably took the cake. when he points to the tunnel, her eyes follow his finger, and a bright smile tugs at the corner of her lips. her reaction, likewise, was to hook an arm around his with the intention to tug him over to the attractions. "not too sappy~" she responds. it means it gave her some private time with him. [break][break]

or.. as private as they could get in the public. close enough.

"ahh.. alright~" if he insists, though she'll admit that she's not all too hungry. the woman peeks over to get a better look at the menu, perusing the snacks to the meals that the establishment had to offer. though truthfully.. nothing catches too much of her fancy. "maybe i'll order some spicy wings~. they look pretty good, here~" she smiles, reaching over to turn the menu page.[break][break]

"if they serve alcohol, maybe we can order some shots, too~. i heard that drinking games were fun in karaoke~" and it's not like their home was too far from here, anyways.

"that's true.." even if she doesn't quite like it. the woman sighs and, nevertheless, wears a smile in the face of her disdain. bless the lord for gracing her with some eye candy in this adversary, because the sight before her makes this mission all the more worth it. plus, they were going to be saving some pokemon too - pokemon which, if she recalls, were relatively docile, and had a little superstition about them floating around. [break][break]

in a fluid motion, mielle reaches to slide her arms around his, wasting no time in coiling one arm around his bicep, with the other reaching down to his forearm to gently rest her fingertips against the palm of his hand. "shall we get going, then? surely, we shouldn't keep the poor pokemon waiting~"

Dante Telos

☉

ah yes, her element. [break][break]

she can't ask for a better date idea (though she's unsure; could she call it a date when they were only doing some baking?) when the activity was going to be her strong suit. she's the first to make sure that she's brought the little necessities that came with baking, like smaller measuring cups and spoons, and a tiny torchic timer she likes to keep when baking. everything should be alright. [break][break]

her heart flutters and there's a bounce in her step as she approaches the door. she's glances at the time, and -- nope, not late. right on time, which is a relief. so she rings the door bell with a smile, awaiting the man to approach. "daaaante?~" she still chimes, gripping on the bag of supplies "it's mielle!"

Dante Telos

☉

careful, or you might call, mielle. [break][break]

she's someone raised with a silver spoon in her mouth and, truthfully, she never had to hike so much until she joined rocket (against her will, the first time). nowadays, she doesn't struggle as much physically. thankfully. it's the only reason she's able to keep up with the man who walks a couple paces ahead of her. [break][break]

in the meantime, she's been appreciating the scenery, passing by trees along the dirt path as they trekked. her train of though is interrupted only by his voice, and the image of him extending an arm out - one that she immediately takes with a warm smile to her face. "hopefully we aren't~.." the woman chimes, taking care to adjust the backpack she carries "i even had a picnic prepared~"

the trip thre was relatively quiet, and she actually thought it would be that way as he was lost in thought. [break][break]

hence when her companion chirps up, her ears twitch slightly before she turns her verdant gaze towards him. a hum escapes her lips as her fingers are brought to her chin, and she tilts her head while her gaze is directed to the ground. "hm.." her thumb taps beneath her chin "maybe aphrodisiacs would work? but maybe we would need something stronger?" [break][break]

her eyes brighten, like she was hit with a wonderful idea "like a love potion! we can give them one of those~" [break][break]

ignoring the fact that they don't have access to one. she'll figure it out as they go.

she loves amusement parks.[break][break]

though it's nothing as grand as unova, it's fun nonetheless. it's always a treat when there's an event taking place in hoenn, and there's always a degree of excitement that the woman will openly express, regardless of her age. so here she is, with a pair of leafeon ears (so familiar, and in a lighthearted manner this time around) atop of her head after being given a pair by one of the staff. [break][break]

"just a little bit~" she chimes in response, eyes bright as she walks along, staying close as to not lose her way "i'm quite enjoying it, myself~" her eyes glance around to the rides set up and around, before she nudges at the man next to her "have you seen anything you'd like to hop on?~"

Dante Telos

☉

how long has it been, since she's gone to a karaoke place? [break][break]

a good while, since she was younger at least. the soundproof walls and the dim lighting is new to her, but the music and song selection isn't foreign. still, she was surprised when the man decided to suggest that they spend a little bit of time here. [break][break]

moving across the couch, she glances over his shoulder to take a gander at the menu. it was the usual snacks and such, though it was to be expected. "hm.." she hums, then tilting her head to lean against his shoulder "in that case, we can also take a look at what music they have on the list, here?~" even though she imagines that they have a way to search the web, any how.
