I'm sorry, but I'm not here right now, so leave a message and I'll get back to you when I feel like it.

[As she dried off her rather copious amount of hair, Asuka glanced at her date, her gaze lingering for a second as her mind settled just how to answer Samantha's question.]

Well,I'd like to hang out again sometime. Maybe we could set something up when I'm able to get a hold of a videogame or two?

[While the gaze lingered, did Samantha's eyes turn to return that look, briefly a little smoky? It could be hard to tell when there was so much steam. She did smile, though, so that was a good sign, and Asuka seemed to want to meet again.]

I'd like that. We could meet over at your house, or I have a pretty basic tv I never use set up at my place.

I'd be fun to hangout at my place, and it's not like I have people coming over...ever.

[She awkwardly smiled. The whole "having friends" thing was still rather foreign to Asuka, leaving the young pilot with little clue how to act in situations like this.]

So, do you want me to walk you home? Or will you be ok by yourself?

[As they were starting to walk back towards the hallways, she glanced back at Asuka and smiled a bit more warmly, winking.]

Isn't this supposed to be a date? I'd love it if you escorted me back to my house.

[splendid_solitude]

Right, I should have known that.

[Asuka rubs her head in embarrassment before offering Samantha her hand.]

Let's get going.

[samantha_grey]

Let's.

[And after a visit to the locker room, the two were off for the rest of the night. This hadn't gone as bad as she'd feared, but god... she had picked a tough nut, hadn't she?]
