[Video/Action]

[Boxes and bags and a slight mess can be seein in the background when the feed cuts in. A light, cheery tune can be heard in the distance before it stops when a possibly familiar face plops on the chair in front of the feed and wipes their forehead.]

Hey ya'll! Sorry I didn' take the time ta say I was on my way back, but hey, what better way than now during unpackin'?! Got a new room this time 'round tho we all know how them dorms like switchin' it up on us erry now an' then. So, for now, if you wana come on down an' say hello, feel free ta pass by BW eight!

Especially those folk who know I always want ta know if they're okay and fine. Don't make me come to yer rooms now y'hear?

[She smiled and blew a kiss at the camera.]

I'm glad to be back~

[And with a wave, she cuts the video. Still marked as online if anyone wants to chat, audio, video and what have you. Or you can pass by the room! In any case, she seemed as welcoming as always. Hello, you were all missed.]

Hey, you know I'd never turn down a fight, but yeah. It is pretty nice. You know. To spend time with someone you like...

[Jolt no. Stop. Freudian slips much?]

It's always nice ta spend any kinda time with those who you care for, for those who mean a lot to ya yeah. I can totally git behind that fur sure.

[It was pretty much all she did! Or tried to!]

[Jolt was having a harder and harder time trying not to say something stupid, or make her think he was weird. At least, that's how he perceived it. So far she gave no indication that he was screwing anything up, but he felt it, and that made it all the worse. He looked at her smiling face, and felt his heart skip a beat. It had only gotten worse now, and he wanted so much to just blurt out his feelings. But he had to play it cooler than that. This was just another challenge to conquer. He could do this. Well, he wanted to wait, but he would probably explode if he held it in any longer, so here went nothing...]

Totally. Hey, um, on that note, there's something I kinda wanted to talk to you about.

[He tried his best to remain confident and perky, but he had such little experience in this area he couldn't help showing a hint of nervousness. Inside he was totally kicking his own ass.]

[Any signs of Jolt being in a tussle with the situation didn't come to Riwane's notice. Instead she seemed to be as chill and happy as she generally was around him.]

Hm? Whatsup hon?

[She looked at him in her usual spunky demeanor. Maybe he wanted to plan something out?!]

[She wasn't that far off, actually. Her demeanor hadn't changed at all. So far so good.]

There was something I'd been meaning to tell you for a while, and after you left, it just made me realize I'd missed my chance. Now that you're back though, I feel like if I don't tell you now, I might miss the chance again, and if that happened I'd kick my own ass for being so stupid--

[He was rambling. Focus, Jolt. Focus.]

Er, sorry. See, the thing is, I... uh...

[No, don't get cold feet now...!]

[Riwane listened to him ramble and had to chuckle a bit, now a tad confused too.]

Oi hon, whatever it is y'need ta tell me you know you can rite? I've told ya before, I'm here fur ya! An' c'mon, even if I was ta leave fur a while... You got my number don't you? An' you could always come visit an' stuff silly.

[She smiled brightly at him.]

Yeah, I know. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time saying it...

[He could freely admit at least that to himself. He knew how he felt when he was around her, when he was hanging out with her, when they just sat and chatted like this... The only problem was making himself tell her. If he did, it could hurt the friendship they had, and that would be worse than anything else. If he didn't, it would just gnaw at him. Whatever happened, he had to make a choice. He just hoped he'd be able to live with the choice he finally made.]

...I like you, Riwane. As in I've got a huge crush on you and think about you all the time like I'm gonna explode, that kinda like.

[Well, now to wait for disaster to strike.

[Riwane had to admit, this side of Jolt was incredibly adorable. Seeing him fumble around with whatever thoughts he had made her smile warmly at him. Which was fine and all until he let it know what this whole hubub was about and then she looked a bit concerned, understanding how it could have caused him to act like that.]

Oh hon...

[Riwane couldn't help but chuckle. It was a sweet, red-faced, but honest-to-gods good chuckle. She moved forward slightly and held Jolt's hand in her own and looked over at him.]

That's what had ya in such a tussle? You didn't have ta worry so much 'bout that. I mean... [She laughed a bit and shook her head.] I ain't gunna tell ya you shouldn't have worried so much, I mean, they're yer feelins' an' I care 'bout them all the same...

[Let her not start rambling herself here.]

I appreciate you tellin' me an' if I were ta be completely honest, I do care, tons 'bout ya. In more then a friend kinda way. I woulda hoped that much was shown whenever we're together an' all.

[Though Riwane was always pretty open about her feelings and she wasn't one to limit herself either. There were a couple of people who'd she'd give her all, body, mind and soul to and would protect them because she cared about them more than anything.]

You do?

[Outside, Jolt looked surprised to hear her so readily admit she had some feelings for him in return. Inside, he was doing fistpumps and cheering up a storm. A smile cracked on his lips that just kept getting bigger and bigger as the reality of it sank in. He knew what Riwane was like. He knew she had a big heart, and knowing that he had a spot in it was more exciting than he could express.]

Well I mean yeah, we've always had such a great time together, no matter what we've been doing, but I always thought-- I mean, I didn't realize--

[He shook his head.]

What the heck am I going on about now? Man, you have no idea how good it feels to say that and hear that... I was so worried things were gonna get weird and all that, but damn! It's like everything got lighter!

[Riwane had to crack up a little. He sure was an adorabutt.]

Really? C'mon, I mite be nice ta erryone but that don't mean I git this close, like you an' I.

[Smiling broadly at him, she leaned over and ruffled his hair.] Yeah, very few people got that kind of dedication from me, an' yer definitely there. A special place like none other.

[A place where, again, she gave her all to.]

[Jolt's grin reached critical mass. He was so stoked it was unbelievable. It was really happening! She liked him back!

He laughed at her hair ruffle, and when she finished, he slid over in the booth to sit next to her. Fortunately it was plenty big enough for the two of them to do that.]

Yeah, I know you're a nice person! You're one of the nicest people I know! Makes it really hard NOT to feel for you, you know?

[Smiling herself, she leaned against him and laughed.]

Aww you really think so? Hee, I'm glad ta hear that!

[Jolt put his arm around Riwane, hugging her to his side. It was a gesture they'd done plenty of times before, so comfortable with each other were they. It felt even better now, knowing where they stood.]

It's true! All the fun we have, all the mischief... Even staying up all night playing games. Just some of the best times.

[Oops, time to end the hug though. The next course of meat was on its way. T-bone steaks.]

Ooooh yeah, that smells delicious...

Oh man, sorry 'bout cuttin' reminiscing short but gosh darn it if that ain't sum darn good smellin' steak.

[Riwane chuckled and patted Jolt on the back.]

Ready ta dig in? Cause I sure as hell am.

[Jolt grinned back at the fiery girl, grabbing his knife.]

If there's one thing to know about me... I'm always ready for food. We can be cute and cuddly later. Right now, we feast.

[And he dug right in. Oh Arceus was this so good.]

[Riwane was savoring every bite as well as a ravenous dragon girl could. Big chunks and lots of chewing. It wasn't rare to hear a sound of pleasure when she nabbed a particularly fatty and meaty bite filled with flavor.]

Mm-Mm-Mm! Sooo good~

You said it.

[Jolt of course spoke in between mouthfuls of meat. It was so delicious.]

Might go so far as to say this is the best first date ever.

Hm, dunno 'bout that.

[Riwane mused, licking some sauce off her fingers.]

I think tha one we went clubbin' is a good contender. That one was fun.

Ah, that was fun... Great dancing, we went flying, and gorged ourselves on ice cream. You're right, hard to top a first date like THAT!

[He laughed as he finished off his steak, sliding an arm around her middle.]

Which means that's a challenge, and you know I never back down from a challenge.

Don't go failin' them challenges to try an' better it.

[Riwane grinned.]

It's helluva lot more embarrassin' if ya mess it up trying ta one up yerself.

[He grinned right back.]

There's no way I'm gonna let you down after hearing THAT.

[And then, feeling more confident, he leaned over and planted a kiss right smack on her cheek.]

Yeah? [Riwane grinned.]

We'll see 'bout that won't we?

[Laughing a bit, she finished up and pushed her plate aside.]

I'm always up fur not bein' bored. Not that I really know whut bein' bored is though.

We certainly will.

[He grinned back.]

And as much as I'm looking forward to planning all sorts of future dates? I'm really enjoying this one so far. After we eat, there anything you want to do? Or do you need to get back to settling in again?

Hmm, well, I do gotta git back ta finishin' up. But I think I can skirt some of it till later.

Ain't got anythin' in mind though. Were ya thinki' 'bout anythin' in particular or were ya hopin' I had sum wealth a' knowledge when it came ta fun places?

[Cause she did actually, but where was the fun in that?!]

I'd take you to a dance club, but it's still too early for them to be open yet. But hey! The new Toadvengers movie is out! How about it?
