Where's Dinner Again? [Elyss/Fuuen]

Fuuen

It was a good thing that Fuuen had begun taking notes and scheduling things with regard to his interactions with Miss Ki- er, Elyss, he had forgotten to drop the formalities. Regardless, it was good that he had begun taking extensive notes, else he knew quite certainly that he would have forgotten their date. He knew this because he had already forgotten at least 4 times today, but naturally, he did not remember how many times he had forgotten.

A calm smile on his face as he knocked on the door to the mayor's house, Fuuen once more looked through the list he had written out for himself as to the plan for this date tonight. A walk through the park, dinner at a much more upscale restaurant than normal, and a trip to the beach. That was what women enjoyed, yes? He had asked around with the small handful of people he was fairly certain he knew well. The izakaya proprietors had seemed knowledgable.

Regardless, the knock was made, and he was as ready as he could realistically be. Now it was simply time to wait.

A knock at the door? Ah. A quick look at the time, and it becomes obvious who that should be. However, there is an urgency to the steps that echo throughout the mansion. It is best to handle this before a certain someone pulls another one of her antics and disturbs what should be a peaceful night. She did say she desired a day like this. It just didn’t occur to her how suggestive such may be. NO way does she want Ulv even muttering a word about anything.

The door to the mansion opened with Elyss quickly stepping out and closing the door behind her. Dressed in a semi-formal outfit: black dress pants, a greyish purple blouse, and a black jacket. She’s dressed extremely different from what she’s used to, but that’s what happens when you dig through magazines for a general idea of what one should wear on a date. Maybe she shouldn’t have looked in the tomboyish ones. Though, she already knew she would have disliked a dress.

“Yo Fuuen. Ready to go? I assume so. Ya knocked.”

She chuckled to herself stepping away from the manor with a grin not giving the man a chance to actually respond as she expected him fully to keep up. She’s rather energetic about tonight. She doesn’t really know why. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time she’s ever been out with someone using the term ‘date’. Even if this was a friend to friend, student and teacher, thing, she’s sure to try and enjoy it to the fullest.

Fuuen

Fuuen was roughly 50% sure that this was not the usual attire Elyss wore. He had to consult his notebook to confirm it, given his memory, but his notes told him that he was, indeed, correct. Based on his own descriptors and sketches of her (which there were certainly more of now than the initial two), he had to conclude...

"That outfit suits you remarkably well, Elyss."

It was true, the aesthetics of it matched almost surprisingly well with how the woman carried herself. Naturally, Fuuen began to jot down the image, sketching her out as he had become used to doing. But, of course, he kept up with her all the while. He had become used to her pace, and while he could not say he necessarily remembered the specifics of it...he did faintly suspect that he would not forget it any time soon.

"I am naturally quite ready. I have made a few plans here and there, though I think given both of our personalities, those may end up by the wayside. Hopefully that does not ruin the night, I would be quite remiss if you did not enjoy yourself."

“Bwah. Enjoyment is easy to obtain. Just have fun and don’t worry about anyone else. Well, unless they start causing trouble. Then, that’s when we worry about them. Having our own thing is cool and all, but I won’t be able to sit still if some idiot starts ruining the fun for everyone.”

She dismisses his words with a lazy wave of her hand as she continues on. Despite taking the lead in their walk, she is obviously expecting Fuuen to point them in the right direction. She did initiate this night out, but he’s the one who seems to be the lead planner of events. Oh. She didn’t even care for processing the man’s remarks on her looks. Ulv had already rattled her with too many compliments and suggestions during her wait for him. Her mind has become rather numb to such things as a defense against the vile creature with mayor as her title.

Oh, there he is in that sketchbook of his. She’s pretty sure he’s drawing her again. This man… How annoying to have pictures of her just for his eyes only. It makes her wonder about what would happen if she were to disappear. She’s sure no one on this planet actually has a picture of her besides this man’s sketches. That’s a strange thought, but she doubts they would call the police and need a picture of her anyway if she were to go missing.

“So, what’s the first destination my friend. The night is young, and it’s been so long since I’ve taken the time to relax. Don’t get afraid if I get a bit riled after a bit.”

Fuuen

With a short laugh, Fuuen could only not in agreement as he consulted his notebook on this. Well, he'd had a walk in the park listed, but who knew where that would lead? Nevertheless, he did indeed lead the way down, looking about at the city of Minatumi as he did so. It was a strange place, so different from the last time he had visited, he was sure of it. But he could not say in what way.

"Ah, even on a date you look to help if a problem arises. How noble of you."

There was a lighthearted tone to what he'd said, but it was obvious that, even if he was teasing a bit, he did mean what he'd said. That was a good trait to have.

"Well, I have been told the river in the park is a rather lovely place, particularly under the moon. I do not intend for us to spend forever there, but I thought it might be a good place to begin, hm?"

Noble… Even Fuuen would notice the sudden stiffness in Elyss’ shoulders. Though, he would have to notice quickly before it is gone; replaced by more giddiness about this situation that these two have themselves in. Elyss didn’t turn to address her companion for a short minute before turning to him with a small grin; the weariness in her eyes accidentally visible despite her attempts to keep the same upbeat attitude she had exiting her old home.

“Yeah… Pretty noble, huh? The river you say? Sounds nice.”

If only she could speak on her thoughts about such a claim, but she does not want to ruin the mood set between them, and with that in mind, she turns her head away to keep her lowly visage from instigating questions from Fuuen. She follows him silently letting him lead the way. She doesn’t trust herself to really say anything uplifting or pleasent right now. For some odd reason, her mind is elsewhere but where it should be.

Fuuen

Most would have let such a thing slide, an obvious change in her demeanor which she was doing her best to cover up. It was the polite thing to do, after all. Such was simply basic social courtesy. Fuuen, however, was not a typical man. He knew very little of "basic social courtesy."

"Have I said something out of line, Elyss?"

There was nothing more he really needed to ask than that. Further clarification, any other assumptions about what exactly the problem was, would only serve to obfuscate the actual truth of the matter. It was clear that she had not liked what he had said, but Fuuen wished to know why. It was...important to him. How strange.

Elyss Kishimoto

“No. You have said nothing of the sort.”

She immediately shoots his suspicions down. Actually, her immediate response may have come off a bit too quick and harsh almost like she’s trying to persuade herself into believing nothing is wrong. She shouldn’t have let her emotions show so easily; her first mistake already on this night. Dammit. They just started on their way, and she’s causing concern where there should be none.

“I’m just not used to having anything I do referred to as noble in any shape or form.”

She’s not going to go into her whole issue with the word. That sounds meager and highly unnecessary. Hopefully Fuuen doesn’t push the situation and lets it fade into the distant past so they can enjoy the night. That’s all she wants right now. This is supposed to be a break from her duties for one night. Letting her mind run rampant is the last thing she wishes to do.

Fuuen

"That is a shame."

Fuuen said nothing more than that, if only because it was clear even to him that she did not like this topic of conversation. A date was, to his knowledge, intended to be lighthearted after all. Continuing such a heavy conversation was counterintuitive. Was he learning? Hopefully.

Thankfully, the two arrived at the park in rather short order, and Fuuen simply stopped at the river bank to admire the water. In truth, perhaps it was not so much the water itself, but the moonlight reflected in it. He allowed himself to take in the quiet night air, studying the gently shimmering image in the water. The real moon itself scarcely even caught his eye.

"I find something so calming in reflections. I suppose that might seem strange. They are both permanent and wholly unreal to begin with. It is a fascinating existence."

It is a shame, but this is just Elyss’ mindset about herself. She’s nobody special. She’s not the only one helping people. Nothing she does is extraordinary or noble in her eyes. It’s all just what she expects of herself, of her meager pointless life. Some may hate the way Elyss sees herself, but she has made it a habit lately of annoying advice thrown her way. It’s always the same about how she should take better care of herself, but she doesn’t want to slow down. There’s too many left that need help or requires assistance, and she’s an able woman capable of providing such relief.

She had nothing else to say on the matter and thankfully nothing else was said about it. So, their walk went on in a rather solemn yet peaceful air until they reached the river. Elyss watched Fuuen step forward and look into the water. His talk about reflections made her feel awkward. His words were beautiful in an artistic sense, but for her all too realist mind, when she looked into the water, she caught sight of her own reflection and felt dismay. This felt all too permanent and real for her. Her own reflection didn’t feel unreal at all. It showed her her tired eyes and dry skin, her low self confidence and worried mind. She is quick to look away at Fuuen’s reflection.

“Fascinating, yeah. But, I prefer your reflection over mine. If I could draw, I suppose it’d be similar to this. I’d catch you just like the water, but it’d be slightly more permanent, yeah?”
