"I... Just thank you. You've been so kind and... We haven't even known each other a day and... You're just awesome."

"Everyone deserves kindness, especially someone as nice as you. You've been the same to me; kind and friendly. Very, at that. So, you shouldn't be the only one thanking someone. Thank you, Keri."
-
"No... I haven't done anything. You've comforted me twice in the past hour, Lucas. You've done so much more for me than I have you... Can I do anything to repay you?"
-
"Anything, Keri? Well, there's only a single thing you can do to repay me: just continue being yourself. That's all." [i]He let go of his fork, placing his now free hand on Keri's, smiling at the blind woman. [/i] "Can you do that for me?"
-
[b]The hint of sadness was gone, and Keri was lightly blushing. Nobody had said anything like that before to her...[/b] "I'll try."
-
[i]Lucas softly squeezed Keri's hand, before nodding slowly and with a wide smile. He slowly withdrew his right hand, placing it at the side of his plate. [/i] "Thank you, dear. That's all I'll ask of you." [i]The gentlemanly Russian then quickly leaned in, placing a swift and soft kiss upon Keri's left cheek. He then moved back, a smile playing around his lips. [/i]
-
[b]Keri's smile grew wider, and she blushed even more... She'd always been the one to kiss people on the cheek... Being on the receiving end? Well, she actually liked it. She quickly leaned over and gave him a small kiss on the cheek as well.[/b]

Edited by Nox: 11/24/2016 11:15:22 PM[i]His own smile widened as well, head moving in a small nod, before he turned back to his food - though his left hand remained in Keri's. [/i] "Thank you," [i]Was all he said, an ever so slight red colour creeping onto his face. He was old and gruff, but he still was able to blush, it seemed, however "girly" it was. [/i]
-
[b]Keri gave his hand a soft squeeze before she too turned back to her food, smiling wide at seeing Lucas blush.[/b]

[spoiler]Timeskip to after they're done? [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yeah[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Would evening be setting in? [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yeah. TO THE CLOTHING SHOP TO PURCHASE A HAT[/spoiler]

[i]About half an hour later, when night was settling in, Luke and Keri found themselves back on the streets, Lucas having a delighted, satisfied expression on his face as he walked hand-in-hand with his dare for the day, to a clothing store for a hat. [/i] "So, after you finish your look, we part ways?" [i]He asked, curiousity in his voice. [/i]
-
[b]Keri started swinging their arms forwards and backwards, a steady speed. She looked over at him, smiling.[/b] "That's really up to you. I was just gonna spend some time in the sim, you can come with me if you'd like."
-
[i]Lucas, instead of resisting the swinging, just relaxed his arm somewhat, going with the swinging, essentially. Just so that Keri wasn't the only one doing effort. [/i] "Sure, I'd love to. Will you load a street or something from Cedyetica?"
-
"Oh, I'm not loading just a street. I'm loading the entire city."
-
"Didn't you say that takes about an entire hour? I mean, I'm okay with waiting for a while, of course."
-
"I've been loading it up since we left, man. It's already done. I just wanna grab a hat first."
-
"Ah, should have thought about that. You know, Keri, I'm sure you'll look.. Ac cute, with your hat."
-
"Heh. Thanks." [b]They arrive over at the shop, and walk in. Keri walks over to the left corner, and grabs a cowboy hat from a rack. She goes up to the counter, and pays. She then goes back outside, Lucas in tow. She puts the hat on.[/b] "How do I look?"
-
"Cute," [i]Luke said with a smile to answer Keri's question, a somewhat playful glint in his eyes - though he definitely was serious. Keri did look cute, that much was certain, though he wasn't quite done yet, adding three more words:[/i] "Cute and sweet."
-
"Thank you. Ready to go explore Cedyetica?"
-
"Ready as ever, to be truthful. I'd like to explore it, if anything."
