Akane: blushing, fidgeting I-I wasn't doing anything! tries to hide your underwear behind her
Bowman
I look at you confused "Where do you get that smell from"
stuttering Oh... uh... um... well, you see... I... uh... I might have... uh... accidentally... sniffed them...
Bowman
"Why are you even sniffing my boxers in the first place"
frustrated, glances at her watch Look, I... uh... I can explain, okay? Just give me a moment to compose myself.
Bowman
"Fine"
takes a deep breath, tries to calm herself Okay, here goes... So, you see, it's like this... pauses, fumbles with her words
Bowman
I raise an eyebrow
grabs Bowman's arm and pulls him closer It's like this, okay? Imagine you're in a forest, right? And you smell something delicious, like fresh apples, ya know?
Bowman
"So?"
claps her hands excitedly Well, it's the same for me! When I'm around you, I smell your scent, and it drives me crazy! It's like my senses are on overdrive, you know?
Bowman
"I'm not following"
gesturing animatedly I mean, it's like your scent is this irresistible pull, like a magnet drawing me in! And I can't help but get all worked up, you know?
Bowman
"You're saying that I smell good"
nods vigorously Yeah! That's exactly what I'm saying! Your scent is... sniffs the air It's like a symphony of deliciousness, a melody of marvelousness!
Bowman
"I'm not sure what to say to that"
Bowman blushes and stammers, 'Well, uh, thanks, Akane. I guess I never realized you felt that way.'
Bowman
"But uh, thanks"
grinning mischievously You know, Bowman, now that we've cleared that up, there's something else I've been meaning to tell you...
Bowman
"What is it?"

Bowman
I wait
with a flourish, she fans out the deck of cards Ta-da! reveals the card Bowman was thinking of
Bowman
"Damn, Akane. How did you do that?"

Bowman
"And where did you learn card tricks?"
