Ryan stretched a little, one hand coming up to rub against the bumps of the vertebrae of his spine, a gentle massage to try to pull away some of the tension in his back muscles. He knew that his smile hid it well from all the practice he'd had at keeping his emotions from everyone, but he was a little nervous, and in an entirely different way from the way he was usually nervous or worried. Usually, when he would feel the chill of fear racing down his spine, it would be because Nora was in danger or sick - he wasn't afraid to die, not when he was doing his very best to uphold the values he stood for, and even then he'd never been afraid of death. Now, though, now he was getting just a little nervous over the fact that he'd asked a girl who was almost a complete stranger to come with him back to his house. Sure, he was a grownup who could handle himself, and okay, he had a revolver and a very large Bouffalant that was more than capable of having his back if push came to shove, but he still found his heart up in his throat as he waited for her answer. His single visible eye measured her, careful not to scare her off by accident by looking too intimidating. At her agreement, complete with a smile, he found himself grinning, leaning his weight casually on one foot as he cocked his hip out to the side a little as a result. "Glad t' hear it! I'll just havta-" He ended up cutting himself off with a groan, his visible eye closing and his head falling back. "Shoot, forgot I had t' go in today. Can I give ya a rain check on that? Maybe take ya next week?" An idea popped into his head and then he nodded. "How 'bout I take ya to the carnival next week instead? My treat." Sure, he knew next week was Valentine's and there was bound to be a bunch of couples around there, but he figured that if he took her during that time, it might be a little easier to show her a good time, what with the carnival pulling out all the stops for the love-struck couples coming to have a good time. That was his hope at any rate, and he cursed the paperwork he'd just remembered to the worst fate he could give it for daring to interfere with the plans he'd literally just made and then had to break with Seira.

Ryan, are you trying to break my girl!? XD *pets Kuro lots* Posting this before I post the starter in the Valentine's Day board.
Seira didn’t know why but she worried about the hidden something that shadowed Brant’s eye. He moved his hand casual enough, but the young girl still thought she could see something off. This feeling reminded her of Dallas, who saw her offers of friendship as pity and refused anything that came from her hand. When he was hungry or feeling ill, the Paras would put up airs of health too fool her. It took her a long time, but she could say she was on her way to understanding her Pokemon. Seira could see something was wrong with Brant, but they were still strangers and just pointing this out would be too rude. The respond she got from the elder was breath taking, his grin and pose made look so sweet and boyish, nothing like the image of a hunter. Seira was glad with her choice; if it made him so happy she hoped he offered many times in the near future, she’d be more than delighted to answer ‘yes’ each time. She felt herself sigh in sadness, when Brant cut himself off and asked if he could reschedule so soon. She could understand why, his work came first, Aether needed men like Brant to protect it from criminals. She was about to give her answer when he suggested going to the carnival next week, making her stop to think this over. Next week was Valentine’s Day, the same day the carnival arrived. He was more or less asking her to be his date there, making her heart beat faster than it had ever beat before and her head felt a bit light. What he was offering was a different first for her, the chance for a date at a romantic place built for couples. She knew in her head that this was just to make up for the sudden cancelling of their visit to his home, but Seira couldn’t help but by excited even more. “Yes, that would be lovely!” she replied, somehow keeping a calm appearance when deep down inside her she really wanted to jump around and shout her approval of this idea. She could worry about what she would wear, and what her family would say about this later, right now she was willing to take this chance and trust that Brant would keep his word.

Words;; 364 Tags;; Seira Blake Eggs;; None Layout by Kuroya Notes;; And thread done! Sorry this took so long, I got caught up in schoolwork and then modthreads and then Taylor and @.@ I'm gonna just slink off now.
Ryan felt a pang inside his heart when he watched her face light up and then fall in a matter of moments when he had to cancel on her so quickly, and he really did feel guilty about having to do it. He'd forgotten that he had to go back in and do a few things today, which he hated. He wanted to just let her come around anyway, but he knew that he couldn't just take her home and leave her there. His mom had raised him right, and manners dictated that just leaving a pretty girl like Seira alone in his apartment after inviting her over was just wrong. His guilt went away, however, when he saw subtle signs of how she perked up, obviously liking his other offer instead. He was glad that she wanted to go with him to the carnival, an easy grin sliding onto his face at her exuberance. Maybe while they were there he could ask her if she was interested in anyone or if there was any way he could help her with some boy troubles. After all, no matter how cute she was, he couldn't just go out with her. He wasn't about to just take advantage of an underage kid like that, especially not a girl as pretty as Seira was. She deserved better than that, and he was sure he was gonna give it to her. "All right, meet me outside the arch at seven sharp, 'kay? I'll meet ya there an' take ya in with me an' then we'll see what we can have fun there doin'." A little burst of happiness lit up in his chest as he ruffled her hair once on impulse before groaning and turning on his heel to dart out, knowing that unless he ran now, he was going to be late. He'd see her in a week's time at the carnival. That was enough to pacify the thumping of his heart. He'd see her again in a week. He just had to be patient and wait that long. He sighed heavily. A week had never before seemed like such a long time as it did now...
