[ Ah. What a shy gesture. But she's more focused on the next part. ]

I-I don't... [ She tries. Asuna is a hard-worker so everything she does probably seems like it's close to perfect. And anything she puts her mind to, she usually succeeds at.

So, yes. Not being so great at something so basic like putting food in her mouth is very embarrassing. And Yata calls it cute. Why does that... make her happy? That someone actually likes a fault of hers. She's not used to it. She's used to being acknowledged and praised for all the perfect successes.

Not for her bumbling failures. She rubs at her arm. ] Nobody is perfect. [ EXCEPT YATA. No, he's an idiot but he's cute so it's fine. ]

Even the most well-composed person has moments of weakness.

[rollin]

... Yeah. I know.

[ Even Mikoto could stumble and fall. Asuna, too. But that doesn't make Yata think of them any less. ]

Let's go back. They'll start getting ideas.

[avantguard]

[ Yeah, but Asuna probably literally stumbles and falls. WHAT IDEAS YATA

After furrowing her brow at the mention of "ideas" she shakes her head, not moving. ]

No, it's embarrassing to go back in there. I'll just wait out here until everyone is ready to leave.

[ OR HITCHHIKE. ]

[rollin]

[ Like what if they think Yata and Asuna were murdered or something... I'm kidding. He is totally thinking other ideas. But he doesn't want to leave Asuna alone here either.

So he leans his back on the van and crosses his arms. ]

Then I'll stay here with you.

[avantguard]

[ I thought that said married. He can leave her alone though she's fine STOP HOVERING YATA. Even if she would be lonely if he left.

She can't make him go back inside. What about his ice cream?? It is his choice in the end but she doesn't know why he's hanging around with her when he can eat ice cream. It was good. ]

And what about those ideas you think they'll be getting?

[rollin]

[ He's red in a second. ]

Uhh, I was just... joking... Haha! [ Then his tone drops. ] It's a joke.

[ He doesn't have any ulterior motives. Her feelings are just more important than ice cream. He'll just... take a few steps away from her. This is fine. ]

[avantguard]

[ Raises her EYEBROW at him. She still doesn't know what ideas he could be referring to. ]

It didn't seem like one. [ WHATEVER. She tilts her head back and looks up at the sky, watching the clouds with her hands pressed back against the van and her ankles crossed.

She's making shapes out of them because Yata is being awkward. A hand raises to point at a spot with a small smile on her face. ]

That looks like ice cream, doesn't it?

[rollin]

Huh? [ Is she looking at the sky? He lifts his eyes and searches the clouds. ] Pfft, no. It's a snowman. See the arms?

[ He even points at them! ]

[avantguard]

[ SMALL FROWN and pushes his hand away. ] No, those are the spoons.

[ The ice cream they shared, that's what she's thinking of. ]

[rollin]

[ dON'T TOUCH HIS HAND He's freaking out a little. ]

It's on a cone... [ What does it say about Asuna if Yata's the one correcting her? ]

[avantguard]

[ He can't, it's impossible. Besides, he's agreeing it's ice cream now RIGHT? ]

You can still eat ice cream in a cone with spoons if you're sharing with someone.

[ Because both people licking a cone is NO ]

[rollin]

[ 2 PEOPLE 1 CONE yeah no, he'll pass. ]

Why are you still thinking about that... [ BECAUSE HE'S NOT THINKING ABOUT IT. Not until she brought it up AGAIN. ]

[avantguard]

Wha ─ [ Don't question her. He means ice cream sharing, obviously. ]

I'm not! I'm thinking about clouds! [ SHUT UP. It's just because there are two spoons in the cloud ice cream.

The alternative is hot cocoa. ]

[rollin]

Yeah, right. [ He's not that dumb. ] ...

You wanna get more ice cream later?

[ She's into the ice cream... obviously. ]

[avantguard]

[ But she is thinking about clouds. And ice cream.

Definitely now. She gives him a slightly suspicious look. ]

Will it be cookie dough?

[rollin]

[ He throws her an unsure look back. ]

Sure? I mean yeah! Yeah, it is. Do you want it to be?

[avantguard]

[ KEEPS LOOKING AT HIM SUSPICIOUSLY.

But then she smiles, a pretty rare thing but more common around Yata for some reason. ]

Of course. It's my favorite, after all.

I'll go with you.

[rollin]

Oh. Okay.

[ He blinks. Did she smile? Wait. Did he just agree to a date? Uh. WAIT. ]

Right now?

[avantguard]

[ IT'S NOT A DATE. She should tell him. ]

You said later.

[ How eager is he for ice cream? He just had some ]

1/2

[rollin]

Oh yeah. [ He's dumb, whoops! Sorry. He'll just laugh it off.

They're interrupted by an familiar voice.

"Yata-san." ]

[rollin]

AAAAH! [ HE'S SUDDENLY CLINGING BEHIND ASUNA. ] Kamamoto! You almost gave me a heart attack...

[ Summer Kamamoto would definitely give anyone a heart attack with his stupidly killer looks. Yata's just glad Asuna is unaffected (which is super weird, by the way). ]

[avantguard]

[ All she can do is sigh a little. What an idiot.

Asuna jumps too at the sudden voice but doesn't HIDE LIKE HE DOES. Or yell. Actually his yelling is more of a shock than sudden Kamamoto.

She looks over her shoulder for a second and then stares at Kamamoto. Yeah. His Stupid Hot special move isn't very effective. What about hers? ] That's too dramatic.

[ AT YATA. What is he doing? She steps aside so he isn't hiding behind her anymore. And then, casually, TRYING TO BE CASUAL like he didn't see what happened at the diner ]

Hello, Kamamoto-san. Are we leaving?

[rollin]

[ Asuna's swag is on all the time. It is super effective. On Yata, at least! Kamaoto's unfazed as he answers her, "Yeah, in a bit. Yata-san, your ice cream melted..." ]

Ah, sorry. But I couldn't—

[ It turns out Kamamoto isn't alone. Anna steps out behind him, holding out a marble. She examines Yata first, staring at him hard, then Asuna. After her assessment, she faces Yata again.

"Misaki." ]

Yeah?

[ "Don't screw up." ]

Huh?

[ QUESTION MARKS EVERYWHERE. She must have read Asuna's emotions. Yata wonders what Anna saw... ]

[avantguard]

[ It'll be good to GET AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Not that the ice cream was bad and the elderly couple was definitely nice. If Bandou comes out then she'll be pointedly ignoring him. That Yata glare probably did its work though and he won't be saying a thing about indirect kisses.

The sight of Anna makes Asuna smile and then look just as confused as Yata from being stared at. She's the only other girl that's a part of Homra but sometimes her behavior was a little baffling.

Screw what up... ???? Asuna turns and gives Yata a confused look too. ]

Did you do something bad?

[rollin]

[ He shrugs. No??? He's just glad that they can finally leave. Meanwhile, Anna turns her attention towards Asuna.

"Asuna, good luck." ]
