[Aaaand here. We. Go. He considered just wearing that same suit, but that might have been a tired thing. He could have put on something the Prince would wear -- he even considered it -- but thought better of it. In the end, the settled for something like this, but with less obnoxious socks and the dress pants from the suit instead of Jeans. He still thinks he looks nice, but now he doesn't look overly nice! Or demanding!

Man he's confident but it's possible he under-dressed. Oh Well. Knock, one arm behind his back]

[generalflirt]

On if people are liars or not, of course! I'm sure I'll get some interestingly sincere responses!

[...It's a joke. He makes a little finger waving motion like he's lecturing to make this clear]

[markofthebrave]

[Man, your jokes are still horrible.

Katara rolls her eyes.]

Uh-huh.

[generalflirt]

Yes ma'am, and it'll be be something to look forward to. The sociological community will be thanking me. [And they're near the Rec Center now, he slides off ahead to get the door for her]

[markofthebrave]

We have a sociological community?

[Katara felt a beat of nerves as Masaomi opened the door for her. She didn't know what he was expecting of her here, but he should know enough to know that this place wasn't exactly her forte. And she couldn't help remember the last time they'd been here together, when he'd stolen a kiss.]

[generalflirt]

I don't know! I mean, that strange "SOS-Brigade" thing sometimes sounds like it might fit... even if I'm not sure I really get it.

[For his part he sounds relaxed, composed, but he's also being irreverent. He's feeling nerves too, because he's not sure the call he made is the right one or not. It probably is, bu...t]

[markofthebrave]

Well, you could always ask Haruhi. She might be open for new recruits.

[generalflirt]

Sheeee... is that shrill looking woman who's surprisingly small, right?

[...Because he made a really bad first impression on her, months ago. Now in the Rec Center, he says this sort of lightly.]

[markofthebrave]

Haruhi doesn't look shrill.

...though I guess she is kind of small.

[generalflirt]

Sheee... does when she's shouting.

[Sheepishly, he laughs and itches the back of his head, twirling through the room. Around the air hockey, and then touching on the back of a couch]

[markofthebrave]

[...well. That's probably true, actually. But. Female solidarity!

...though she'll just let the conversation drop for now, one hand coming up to latch on to the opposite elbow.]

So... we're at the rec center. Was there something in particular you wanted to play?

[generalflirt]

Oh, I have tons of things I'd like to play. [He leans up against the back of the couch, smiling] Mmm, I could teach you Mario Kart, I could give you some Smash Bros lessons, maybe even see if you can best me in air hockey or give pool a shot. I also considered queing up a movie, because that's one of the greats of dates, eeeeh? Dinner, a movie, a little theatrics involved all around. I even have a decent flick pick out! Trust me, it's no Scarface.

[And he rocks in his leaning]

Buuut, I decided on something more simple.

[markofthebrave]

[Katara feels herself starting to smile sometime midway into his delivery.]

What is it?

[generalflirt]

Well, I figure you and me are sort of simple fellows, and sooo, for this date, I would settle on something simple. [And he pushes off the couch, sauntering over towards the teleporter in here - the one that goes to the hot springs] It'll actually be a little hike, but it's not bad. Eeeeven if it's a bit cold.

1/2

[markofthebrave]

Oh.

[markofthebrave]

[And she smiles at him.]

That sounds nice!

[generalflirt]

[Sweet. He was a little afraid she would make dangerous assumptions about him given this particular teleporter does go to the hot springs. But he opens the door and gets on in himself. It's actually a little tight with two full size people in it, but he's... not aware of that. He doesn't go to the springs a lpt in less than groups where you go solo anyway]

[markofthebrave]

[Nope. Doesn't even occur to her.

...the tightness of the teleporter does as it brings her nearly flush up against him, but hey. It's faster than walking.]

Ready!

[generalflirt]

And we're gooo! [he winks, before shutting the door, pop and... they're there! The door's opened again, and then there's the hot springs in all their glory. Bathhouse and all. He steps on out before her and spreads his arms some. Not that it was too cramped per se, but. Movement freedom]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara follows along after him, glancing around cheerfully enough.]

So which way are we going?

[generalflirt]

It's to the east of here [I think we decided] a half hour's hike or so. Thiiis way. [And he leads her past the bathhouse and now through a little half-cave passage to a "trail" - it's not a real trail, but it's a followable path he knows he can manage and shouldn't be too hard on them]

[markofthebrave]

[She follows along.]

Are we going someplace specific?

[generalflirt]

That we are, but it's a surprise.

[He hopes. He's not sure if Shikamaru's ever taken her there or not]

[markofthebrave]

Is it a nice surprise?

[generalflirt]

I planned it, what do you think?

[markofthebrave]

I think it'll be a surprise, that's for sure.
