Might as well.
*Yeah. If they have no emotions to speak of.*
*Yeah. If they have no emotions to speak of.*
awesome!
i'll see you there!
[And yeah, he'll be there by 4:30, mentally rehearsing what he's going to say. He's just sliiightly nervous, and feel free to notice that he's bothered to wear a somewhat nicer sweater today.]

*Kaoru shows up on time, wearing the same boring grey sweater and black skirt she wears every other day.*
Hello.
Hello.
Kaoru! Hi!
[Well, okay, he had been rehearsing something, but it's not like he can remember it now... So let's improvise.]
Ummm, you look really pretty today.
[Girls like to be told that, right?]

[Crap.]
Oh, ummm, well...
[Think of something Egbert!]
You always look pretty.
[Laaaaame]

...Let's go. *She shrugs and walks toward the theatre.* The people are using money at the box to get tickets... so that's how it works.
[Sometimes he wishes he could be cool. Like Dave. Dave would have said something awesome right then. Oh well, he can still salvage this.]
R- right! What movie did you want to see? The posters are on the wall there, if you need help choosing one.

*looks at the posters. To her credit, she isn't just looking at each for a second and rattling off "pointless, pointless, pointless".*
...You wanted me to see something, so what do you want to see?
*Strangely enough, she seems okay with taking his opinion into account.*

Oh... um, okay! How about this one?
[The poster is clearly advertising an over the top action flick that is likely to be of dubious quality. John will love it.]

The one with the man walking out of the explosion? Alright. It looks interesting.
It looks pretty awesome, doesn't it? I'll go get the tickets.
[He's excited. So far his first actual date ever is going really well.]

Alright.
*Kaoru continues to inspect the posters and quickly deduces their purpose. Her attention is then drawn to the thing at the side, an apparent time-filler in which people try and usually fail to obtain cheap toys and candy prizes by controlling a metal contraption with a joystick. Observing the lineup for a while, she notices a pattern in which the claw moves differently and allows a bigger win every couple of tries.
When John gets back to Kaoru, she's used her predictions of the queue to get herself at the front of the line when the claw machine actually lets people win. She is now the proud owner of a colossal plush bird half her size.

Okay, got 'em! The show is in about twe- Whoa!
[Well, he's impressed.]
Where did you get that?
[Well, he's impressed.]
Where did you get that?
There. *points at the crane machine* ...Do you want it?
Seriously? You must be really good at those. I could never seem to get the hang of it.
[Hmm, it's usually the guy who is supposed to win things for the girl. But on the other hand, it is totally sweet.]
Can I really have it? Thanks!

It's easy enough to understand through observation. *nods and hands it over* I don't need it.
*This appears to be, and anyone who is asked will agree that it must be, the first time Kaoru has smiled since coming to Prospero.*

[He blushes, and before he even has time to register the thought, the words are already on his lips.]
You have such a pretty smile....
You have such a pretty smile....
Umm, uh.. I just meant that, well, you never smile. But you should, 'cause your smile is pretty.
[His brain is just stumbling all over itself, so have some rambling.]
Not that you're not always pretty. You totally are! Just.... I like your smile... a lot....
I'm.... I'm gonna shut up now.
