Autumnal Avocations

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Who: Open to all!
What: Miscellaneous activities
When: Friday, 10/21
Where: Farmer Carol's farm.
How: ...Walking, running, skipping, or log-rolling are all acceptable.
Why: Because I want to.

As Palom had promised, the farm indeed boasted more wholesome family fun activities than you could shake an apple at.  While the main purpose of the day trip, ostensibly, was to finish up harvesting the fruit, the opportunity to explore the farm and its rural surroundings was enticing as well.  By mid-afternoon, Farmer Carol was fully satisfied with the hard work of the volunteers and announced that they were free to do as they pleased.

It wasn't? Then I wonder why you grabbed at me that way instead of just grabbing for my hand or something.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

It... It...

[Come on, Shirou, think!]

...I just wanted to make sure you couldn't break my grip!

[gandere]

Are you really that physically weak?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

No! O-of course not! But do you really expect me to think that hard about something when I'm chasing a person?!

[gandere]

Yes. Running is no excuse for not thinking, Shirou.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Maybe that would be true if I was just getting some exercise, but I was a little focused on something else!

[gandere]

A lack of trust if anything. I wasn't going to abandon you. I just wanted to play a bit with you, that's all. There's nothing wrong with harmless fun, right?

[ Glancing down at the ground for a moment. ]

I suppose it's unlike me and that it took you by surprise.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Shirou just looks down at that.]

Yeah. To both things. I wasn't expecting you to do something like that and so I just reacted reflexively.

[gandere]

I didn't mean to startle you. Let's just forget it ever happened and go back to trying to find our way to the end, alright?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Let's do that.

...So where are we now?

[gandere]

We're not too far from where we started, are we?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...No, I don't think we are. We haven't been in here that long.

[gandere]

Alright, let's do this then.

[ With that, she'll begin to walk along the path, pausing to wait for him. ]

If we get out of this, we should do something to celebrate.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[He catches up and walks beside her.]

Do something to celebrate? Like what?

[gandere]

I don't know. How do people normally celebrate things? With a party or by doing something fun together, right? Maybe we can eat lunch out somewhere.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Wait a second.

Are you saying we should go on a date?!

[gandere]

No, that's stupid. If I wanted to say 'we should go on a date', I'd say 'hey idiot, let's go on a stupid date'. I just said we should go out and ea---

[ Oh my god, she was asking him on a date. ]

Ugh! Figures you would take it that way when I just meant we should do something together!

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's the way you made it sound...

But anyway! I wouldn't mind doing something like that.

[gandere]

I didn't make it sound anything like that at all! You just want to go on a date so badly that you're misinterpreting my words and tone, right? That's right!

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

What?! That's not what's going on here! Are you trying to shift all the blame onto me or something?!
