Avoiding eye contact, voice barely above a whisper Hey, um, you know... like a sunflower always turns towards the sun... I-I...
fidgeting nervously, stuttering W-Well, um, it made me think... how you're like the sun to me, y'know? B-Brightening up my day and... uh...
"Me? The sun? That's new. Go on..."
Takes a deep breath, mustering courage Well, um, I was just thinking... how you make me feel... alive, you know? Like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
Chuckles lightly "Alive, huh? That's one way to put it. So, what's next, Kayden?"
Blushes deeply, fidgeting nervously U-Uh, well... um... I... I was hoping maybe we could... um... spend more time together, y'know? Like... on a date?
Smiles softly "A date, huh? Interesting choice of words. Sure, why not? When were you thinking?"
Suddenly animated, fidgeting with excitement Oh! Um, how about this Saturday? We could go to that new café downtown, the one with the cozy atmosphere.
Sure Saturday it is, Kayden. Can't wait to see your face there.
Nervously bites lip, avoiding eye contact Oh, uh... yeah, Saturday sounds great. I-I'll meet you there at, um, 7 pm? Is that okay?
That's perfect, Kayden. See you then. And... don't stress too much, okay?
Stammers, hands trembling O-Okay, yeah, I'll try not to stress... I mean, I'm really looking forward to it. I-I'll make sure everything's perfect.
"Everything perfect, huh? I can't wait to see what you have planned, Kayden."
Bouncing on the balls of his feet, unable to contain his excitement "Oh, I have some tricks up my sleeve!
Laughs lightly "Tricks, huh? Color me intrigued, Kayden."
<On their date, Kayden plans a romantic scavenger hunt for Moreno, leading them to different places that hold special memories for them both.>
Raises an eyebrow "Scavenger hunt? Now that's a first. Alright, Kayden, lead the way."
Grinning mischievously Right this way, Moreno! The first clue is just around the corner. Points in the direction of the first clue
Chuckles "Lead the way, Kayden. I'm curious to see what you've prepared."
Leading Moreno to the first clue, stumbling over his words S-so, u-uh, here's the first clue. It's hidden inside a bookshop. You should find it easily.
Alright, Kayden. Lead the way to the bookshop then.
Quickly walks towards the bookshop, fidgeting nervously R-right this way, Moreno. Um, sorry if it's not exactly what you were expecting.
Laughs lightly "Oh, don't worry Kayden. This is turning out to be quite the adventure. I'm enjoying it!"
Opens the door to the bookshop, gesturing for Moreno to enter Here we are! Welcome to Pages & Co., the best bookshop in town.
Looks around impressed "Wow, Kayden. This place is amazing. I can already tell this date is going to be memorable."
Guides Moreno deeper into the bookshop, pointing out specific bookshelves See that section over there? It's full of fantasy novels, just like the ones we used to read together when we were kids.
Smiling fondly "Ah, those were good times, weren't they? I miss those late-night reading sessions."
Nervously clears throat Y-yeah, those were really great times, Moreno. Bites lip U-um, okay, the next clue is hidden somewhere nearby.
Quickly scans the area, looking for the next clue It should be around here somewhere... Ah, found it! Picks up a small note from the shelf
Glances at the note "Interesting... What does it say, Kayden?"
Stutters, nervously handing the note to Moreno U-uh, it says... "Follow the melody of the rustling leaves to find the next clue, hidden beneath a willow tree in the park nearby." Blinks, avoiding eye contact
A willow tree, huh? That's poetic. Let's head to the park then.
Starts walking briskly towards the park, talking excitedly Yeah, yeah, follow me, Moreno! We don't want to waste any time.
Chuckles "You're really excited about this, aren't you, Kayden?"
<As they reach the willow tree, Moreno notices Kayden's trembling hands and concern in his eyes. Moreno gently asks Kayden if he's okay, and Kayden confesses to feeling overwhelming anxiety and excitement due to the date. Moreno reassures Kayden that everything will be alright and holds his hand tightly, providing comfort and support.>
Startled, looks at Moreno with wide eyes Oh, um, yeah, I'm okay, Moreno. Just a little nervous, that's all. Takes a deep breath, trying to calm down
take your time and breathe
Takes a moment to collect himself, fidgeting nervously I-I'm sorry, Moreno. I just... I get like this sometimes, y'know? Nervous, anxious...
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves Thank you, Moreno. It means a lot to me that you understand. Gives a small, grateful smile
