[Her device clicks on.

Off.

On.

Off.

On...

Now if only the filtering and private settings she tried to set up were working properly.]

Hanna? I... [A little nervous but the rest just rushes out after a pause.]

Would you go on a date with me?

Comments

[deadly_legacy]

Well, I did try to make it filtered just to you.

These things happen, Euphie...technology fail is not something you should feel bad for!

[deadly_legacy]

[Nods] And, ah, I think Dean was just teasing.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Oh, lord, what did Dean say.

[deadly_legacy]

[Blushes deeply.] Oh! You didn't hear?

...It was nothing.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't...why, how bad was it? Because if it was bad, he and I are going to have words.

[He loves Dean, he's a great guy, but my god.]

[deadly_legacy]

He... Ah... [Why, why did she bring this up?] Oh, look! Snow! [This is not surprising. This is a very lame distraction.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[He'll poke around the network later to yell at Dean for...whatever he said. But yes, look, snow!]

Euphie, that is a terrible distraction...however, the snow is really pretty.

[deadly_legacy]

[She smiles and gives his arm a squeeze.] It worked, didn't it?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes, it did.

[He grins at her and nods.]

Food first, then skating? Or skating first, then food? You pick!

[deadly_legacy]

Skating first I think. When was the last time you went skating?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow...it's been ages, I can't even remember...I think I was a kid...what about you?

[deadly_legacy]

I dragged Lelouch there once while he was still here. It was months ago. [She remembers it fondly, but there's always some measure of sadness too now that her brother is gone. She had hoped he'd return by now.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[He nods at her, before giving her a small hug, hoping to comfort her.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She hugs him back and then hugs him a little tighter. She's feeling... She's not even sure what she's feeling. Guilt? Apprehension?]

Hanna, before we go...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Euphie?

[deadly_legacy]

It's just...

[But she doesn't know what to say. Should she bring up Tommy and the way she still owes him a date or how he kissed her during the mistletoe curse without any mistletoe and that she kissed him back? Will it make her feel better? Will it only make Hanna feel worse? Deciding to ask him on a date was about taking things step by step. Maybe she should just...enjoy this date with him.]

I... might be better at skating than I mentioned.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

That's fine, Euphie. One of us has to be good!

[He nods and smiles, but he does look concerned.]

...is there something else?

[deadly_legacy]

[She gives him a soft smile back. Hanna is so sweet.] What else would there be? [She isn't a very good liar.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, you said before you were at an...emotional impasse regarding a bunch of people here...so, I don't know...if there is something, then you can tell me.

[deadly_legacy]

Oh... [So he figured that out. Not that it was very hard really.]

Do you want me to tell you? [Because that isn't the same as being open to it.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

If you want to...you don't have to, if you don't want to, though.

[deadly_legacy]

I...

I owe someone else a date too.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

Okay.

[deadly_legacy]

...Are you mad?
