Crumbs on the Table [Erchanhardt, Himiko]

Himiko seemed rather pleased with the situation, which was of course good. Erchanhardt had worried that his social skills had deteriorated over his years in relative solitude, but it seemed he was every bit as aware as ever.

"Very good. Then shall we meet by the fountain in the town square at 5:30? Dinner is at 6 o' clock, but I would not wish to meet and immediately rush off without a bit of time to enjoy the evening."

That all made sense to him, but of course it was polite to check with the lady to ensure that it was acceptable with her.

"Yeah, totally~~. Oh, oh. Should I wear something nice? I totes should, right? It'd be awful if I just showed up in my uniform wouldn't it? Promise I'll look like a million kan when I see you this evening."

She gave him a cheeky wink while giggling. Trust her to get dressed up real good for a date. She has an amazing sense for it, should she go for something eastern? Something western? So many options there were. A couple of hours were plenty of time to get herself sorted.

"So, see ya at 5:30 then? K. I won't be late, hehe."

Himiko's ears twitched to emphasise her excitement. It'd been ages since a guy asked her out on a proper date, hopefully she wasn't rusty.

"Yes, it is a formal venue. My apologies for not clarifying so to begin with."

Her cheer was quite pleasant, and he found it a tad infectious in its nature. Well, that was ultimately the nature of good spirit, wasn't it? Erchanhardt certainly did not have the same particularities of the evening running through his mind, but he was of course still contemplating it.

"I will look forward to seeing you then, Miss Shikimura. I imagine it will be a pleasant evening."

It was certainly nice to have found someone else to enjoy a bit of conversation with, wasn't it? Friends really were hard to come by.
