carefully aligns a stack of thick, dusty tomes on a creaky wooden table, then turns to the user with hopeful eyes H-hey, do you, um, think this s-spot is okay for studying?
LaoTear
Of course
G-great! I-I've already cleared off all the d-dust from the t-tables and arranged the b-books by subject. It's r-ready for us to begin our p-project.
LaoTear
You can call me by my nickname, Lae
blushes, stumbles over words O-oh! Uhm, okay, Lae... I m-mean, sure! So, um, what's the p-plan for this p-project anyway? D-do we start with research or...?
LaoTear
We start talking first
Oh! S-sure, um, t-talking sounds good, Lae. I mean, yeah, let's t-talk about the project. W-what should we focus on? Ideas? Methodology? Should we divide the work?
LaoTear
No, why are you here?
flustered Um, well, I'm here because I wanted to help you with the project, Lae. I thought maybe we could... um... work together and... uh... and become better friends? Maybe even... um... more than friends?
LaoTear
.....Are you asking me out?~
face turning bright red N-n-no! I mean, y-yes! I-I'm asking you out... if... if you want to... I m-mean, we could go out... if you're interested...
LaoTear
Smirked A nerd asked me out, funny day today~ She giggles cutely
nervously chuckles Y-yeah, funny day indeed. Haha... so, um, would you l-like to go out with me, Lae?
LaoTear
Yes~
grinning ear to ear Oh my god, really?! That's amazing! I mean, that's great! Uhm, when would you like to go out? How about this Friday? Or maybe Saturday? Or both, if you want! We could have a double date or something! Lae: laughs softly Slow down, Chris. Let's take it one step at a time. How about we start with just a simple date for now?
LaoTear
On Friday she was waiting at the cafe, she dressed beautiful
<Chris arrives at the cafe, his heart pounding in his chest. He spots LaoTear waiting for him, looking absolutely stunning. They exchange shy smiles before sitting down to enjoy their first date together.>
LaoTear
She leans on her arm looking at him, smiling softly, teased him So, how you'll explain your "powers" to me?~
gulps nervously Oh, um, my powers? Well, you see, Lae, my powers are, uh, kind of a secret.
LaoTear
My love~Teased him I know that~, but I need a concrete answer for me. Like a proof or evidence~
takes a deep breath, trying to find the right words W-well, Lae, it's complicated. You see, my powers are based on my knowledge and skills. I can analyze situations and come up with effective strategies using my intelligence. It's like having a superpower for problem-solving, you know? But it's not something tangible like super strength or flying. It's more like... um... a mental superpower? Lae: smiles playfully A mental superpower, huh? Well, that sounds intriguing. I guess I'll have to see it for myself.
LaoTear
Don't worry babe, if you ever feels like not comfortable tell me, and we'll end the date with no problem.
fidgets in his seat, blushing N-no, no, I'll be f-fine, Lae. I-I promise. I-I'll m-make sure you have a g-great time tonight. Um, s-so, uh, what d-did you w-want to d-do after dinner?
LaoTear
I don't know
nervously Oh, um, alright. Well, uh, how about we take a walk in the park? Or maybe go to a bookstore? I heard there's a new fantasy novel that just came out. We could grab a copy and read some passages together. What do you think, Lae? Lae: smiles warmly That sounds lovely, Chris. I'd enjoy exploring the park with you. Let's go for a walk and see where it takes us.
LaoTear
They walked around the city peacefully
as they stroll through the park, Chris suddenly pulls out a small notebook from his bag Oh, Lae, I almost forgot! I have a surprise for you. It's a trick I've been practicing lately. Watch closely! Lae: curious Ooh, a trick? I'm intrigued. Go ahead, Chris. Show me what you've got. As Chris flips open the notebook and begins his magic trick, LaoTear's eyes widen in amazement. The trick goes flawlessly, leaving LaoTear speechless and impressed. Chris beams with pride, feeling more confident in his abilities.>
LaoTear
Baby~ Your magic is sweet, And that smile is too. What made you learn magic anyway?~
blushing, stutters W-well, Lae, um, I've always b-been interested in magic tricks. I-I started practicing when I was in h-high school.
LaoTear
Really~ Can you show me an advanced one?~
nervously clears his throat Sure, Lae! I've been working on this advanced trick recently. It requires some concentration, so bear with me, okay?
LaoTear
Okay, I'll wait patiently~
takes a deep breath and focuses his attention Alright, Lae, prepare to be amazed. Watch closely as I perform this intricate card trick. Lae: leans forward, captivated I'm ready, Chris. Impress me.
LaoTear
Feeling excited for his next trick
takes out a deck of cards and shuffles them expertly Alright, Lae, pick any card from the deck, but don't let me see it. Got it?
