[There's a tired sigh from Sharak at that.]

He's fine with dating in general, apparently. [He was fucking sparkling when he thought he'd scored a date with Sharak.] I think it's the "stranger he's never met" part he's less crazy about. He'll get over that when he sees you.

[If she could manage it without even trying, a handsome guy like Gojyo shouldn't have any trouble, she thinks. God, she hopes this works.]

[ Hold up. ]

...Did you just call me pretty?

[ It was the most passive compliment ever, but he's gonna take what he can get! ]

[bussounoshima]

[Like a parakeet in front of a mirror, Sharak thinks...]

Sure, you're a very pretty boy.

[erogappa]

Damn right.

[ He's not, but this isn't the time to go off and wallow in self-loathing. No, this is the time to call Sharak's bluff and go on this date! ]

So what's his name, this blond with a pretty face?

[bussounoshima]

[Give her a second, she's stuck on the mental image of a red parakeet preening at a mirror in a bird cage... munching on bird seed....]

... Ah, Shizuo Heiwajima. You'll go then?

[She's not sure she's pleased he ended up agreeing.]

[erogappa]

[ Glass smashes in the background, and Gojyo swears under his breath. ]

Huh? ...Yeah. Yeah, sure, I've got t'go.

[bussounoshima]

All right. You have a good night then.

[And this mess is officially No Longer Sharak's Problem, declared so by her. Have fun on your date, Gojyo.]
