[ As Lapis gets ready for the date (it's still a little strange to think about, that she's really going on a date with Jinwoo) she's not sure if it's herself or Sylvia who is more excited. From the moment the spectre discovered Jinwoo had asked her out, she was full of barely contained glee - not that Lapis was much better, her stomach filled with butterflies when the actual day arrived.
But she lets the spirit help her with getting ready, having made sure to pick out a certain cute dress while letting Sylvia mess with her hair. Once more she found herself grateful towards Beru; him suggesting for Jinwoo to go out means her look can be a bit of a surprise for the man. Once she's all ready - and with a reassurance to tell Sylvia all about it later - she dismisses her own spirits before there's the knock on the door.
When she answers the door, there's a blink at the bouquet in his arms, processing that for a moment before she gives him a soft smile. ]
Hi. [ She echoes back with a gentle chuckle before taking the bouquet. Warmth is quick to spread along her cheeks as takes a moment to admire it, her smile brightening that little bit more. 24 of them... She wonders if Jinwoo would know what that means, but it still makes her heart race a little harder as she beams up at him. ]
They're beautiful, thank you... [ Seriously, the date has barely started and she's already getting flustered. Seeing Jinwoo dressed like that isn't helping with her trying to keep her composure either. ]
[ Thanks to Beru and his vast knowledge of romance based on kdramas, Jinwoo is aware of the implications behind the 24 roses but he'll gladly pretend to be oblivious to the meaning if Lapis tries to ask about the number.
He'd suggest running to their first stop at full speed some other day, yet today is special. Even if getting around and riding the van might be slower, that will be their main mode of transport on the date. ]
No wardrobe malfunctions are allowed today. [ It's quite funny whenever he remembers how many of those they've experienced. ] Are you ready for our first date?
[ Jinwoo offers his hand, hoping that Lapis will hold onto it as they leave. ]
[ The question is there, but for now Lapis will just focus on the flowers in her arms - his words pulling a gentle chuckle from her. ]
Absolutely none. Unless it's a schoolgirl outfit, I think you wouldn't mind that. [ She will never not tease him about that... And despite herself, she does feel her cheeks heat up once more when he offers his hand.
Though she doesn't want the flowers to get ruined, and so Sylvia pops up to make one last appearance to take the flowers; she'll get those nicely displayed while they're out on their date. And also flash her lady a quick thumbs up, prompting a quiet huff as she reaches to take Jinwoo's hand. ]
Mmhm, ready. I'm pretty curious about what you have planned.
[ His response is a soft chuckle. To think that his weakness got exposed so early on is a little funny. But as much as he appreciates schoolgirl outfits, he wouldn't wish that upon Lapis today. ]
I'd have to get a matching schoolboy outfit and I'm not sure if you'd want that. [ There's nothing wrong with that kind of uniform, but he'd rather stick to the suit she picked for him. ] Vegas is very... versatile when it comes to attractions. Have you ever been to Paris?
[ What he doesn't say is that it's a hint. They're already heading down to the van—while they're not exactly late, getting stuck in traffic when they could be eating delicious snacks would be the worst. ]
I don't know, you might look cute in that. [ But that will be for another time. For now she's very content in seeing him in the outfit she picked out. ]
Paris? When I was young, so I don't really remember much... [ And after that she was busy with her work in other spots in Europe, so there was never any time to go.
So now she's even more curious, making sure to keep in step with Jinwoo so there's no risk of them being late. ]
Pretty much. But I have to disappoint you, it's not Neo Paris.
[ If they could teleport there using LILITH's wrap technology that could have been amazing, but Vegas isn't too shabby either. Jinwoo didn't expect to miss Neo Tokyo that much though, even if he doesn't really consider it home. It's a bit complicated. Either way: ]
If you don't guess it right, I'm eating your dessert.
[ If Beru could hear this, he'd probably scold him that this isn't how he should treat a lady on a date, but his shadow soldiers cannot see them nor eavesdrop. Well, Jinwoo isn't completely serious anyway. ]
Well, I'll take an attraction in Vegas as a second option.
[ Though part of her is curious about what Neo Paris would look like, but she's content enough with this. What she doesn't say is she doesn't really mind where they go, so long as she can spend time with him.
Though that... dessert threat?? Has her blinking at Jinwoo in surprise for a moment. ]
Huh - [ Then she huffs, leaning closer so she can nudge her arm against his. How dare he hold her dessert hostage like this! ]
That's not fair. If you do that, I'm going to eat yours.
[ Maybe Beru won't approve, but this feels more like them - dumb jokes and banter. Lapis prefers this over anything more formal. ]

And you're looking very handsome too.

Is where we're going potentially Paris inspired?

[ Hypothetically, of course. In the meantime, he opens the passenger door to their van and waits for Lapis to get in. ]
I'll be the driver if you don't mind.
[ If Lapis drove, they would definitely get to the restaurant fast, though... ]
no subject
[ All hypothetical, but her desserts are important! He can't do this to her!!
And there's a little nod of thanks as he opens the door for her, though she can't help but remark with some amusement as she steps in; ]
But I could get us there quick.
[ Like how she got them through the desert quick. She is very aware she's a... speedy driver, but sometimes you gotta floor it. ]
no subject
[ Maybe it's because the answer is obvious. ]
Yeah, you could. I'm never going to forget our last trip.
[ It wasn't a race, and yet they left every other vehicle far behind them. ]
Maybe we should go on a car trip once we're back?
no subject
[ The smile she gives Jinwoo can only be described as smug, even if playfully so, before she seats herself into the car. ]
Well, it's not like there were any road laws I had to obey.
[ Not that she... does anyway. Nobody has ever gotten hurt and that's what matters.
Though the mention of a trip gets her to perk up, her smile softening into something a little more genuine. ]
That sounds like fun. And it would be nice to explore a little more outside the city too.
