FORMAL OR INFORMAL, WITH MUSIC OR WITHOUT, YOU COULD BE AT A GLAMOUROUS GALA WHILE A SINGER CROONS SOFTLY OR IN THE SILENCE OF YOUR OWN LIVING ROOM. WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU HAVE THE URGE TO DANCE. DID YOU ASK YOUR PARTNER OR DID THEY ASK YOU? HAVE YOU GOT TWO LEFT FEET OR IS THE VIENNESE WALTZ YOUR JAM? IT COULD BE AWKWARD, IT COULD BE ROMANTIC. EITHER WAY IT'S CUTE AS HELL.

[...She could give several answers to that question, BUT this is goofy, so--]

That sounds kind of risky, though. A little too Shakespeare, even.

Besides, I think we're both honest enough people not to hide anything.

Ah, but risks are oftentimes what make the chances worth taking in the first place! And don't forget, Shakespeare wrote plenty of lighthearted comedies with perfectly happy endings as well as all of those deeply moving tragedies of his! I can't imagine a character like myself existing in ANYthing but an spawlingly epic comedy with the happiest of happy endings!

[...Pfft. He's matching her lie for lie now. He won't press her on the not-hiding-things bit though, because...of course they're both hiding things. They've only just met after all, and if he'd hide things from Mikado, even if it was for his own good, he'd certainly hide things from a near-stranger. Even if she is a beautiful and seemingly kindly one.]

[Well, all's fair in love, war... and... lies...]

Consider me jealous, then. [A beat, a quieter smile, and then she offers a hand.]

I'd say this is a happy ending, at least. More "to be continued," though, right?

[Kida will beam, take her offered hand, and then make a sweeping bow over it.]

Of course! With two stunningly attractive and incredibly interesting and endlessly clever main characters such as you and me, how could there not be countless sequels of the sequel’s sequel? It'll be Return Of then Revenge Of then maybe even Bride Of and Son Of, or if not, maybe just I, II, and III, all the way to XIX!

[And as before, he’ll let her go easily since he’s still really not the grabby type when it comes to The Ladiez.]

But until then, ja ne!

[With a smile and a playful salute, he’ll be taking a few backwards steps before turning and melting into the crowd.]

[And she just watches him depart, shaking her head slightly in amusement before turning to go her own way.]
