Something New [Closed]

He leaned back slightly as she leaned forward. He could only guess she was trying to get a better look at him, but it was still a bit weird for him to have someone so close. Heat worked up to his face slightly, but he ignored it trying not to let is show. "Thanks..?" He said in response to her saying good choice.

And then her next question came as a bit of surprise to him, it was enough for him to hardly notice her sitting back, and straightening up. He didn't really get asked to go somewhere with a person he didn't really know, well in chicago he did, but it was best to refuse those. This, this was different. He mused over it for a moment. He could risk going into Rosebury for just coffee.. "Yeah sure." He could deal with Rosebury on a normal day for this. Maybe for about an hour, but any more might be pushing it, unless he managed to block it out somehow.

Her green eyes brightened as his train if thought went along, thankfully he seemed to agree with her that there wasn't much to lose. An hour wasn't too much time at all, but it was already more than she was hoping for. Dakota pulled herself off of the couch. It was probably best she left him be for now. He could get back to his book, she could go hunt down a bite to eat, and then she could take ten years picking out the perfect outfit - it was always good to dress to impress, after all. "I'll see you tomorrow then, Magic." She smiled warmly, moving to make a graceful exit out if the lounge.

Unfortunately after the first step or two, she was anything but graceful. Some careless person had left their things on the floor and she found herself tripping, falling and barely catching on the end of the couch - just across his lap, her face turning a beet red in an instant.

She seemed happy with his answer which was good in his mind. "See ya." He responded as she stood up to leave. He was about to grab his book again when the girl had stumbled and fallen into his lap, he wasn't really that concerned about her being in his lap though his face was slightly red. "Are you alright?" He asked her, ignoring the red on her face right now. No need to point it out.

The young woman had seemed to blank out for a good few seconds before she forced a smile, completely caught off guard by her own mistake. "O-Of course, Wh-why wouldn't be alright? I'm fine! Don't worry about it." Dakota quickly pulled herself out of his lap, completely flustered and brushing down her skirt. She took small solace in the fact that he didn't seem to mind, that wasn't the point. How could she be so careless!? "Yeah... Bye..." Refusing to look him in the eye again, she quickly ushered out of the room. Lawdy.
