[attr="class","wassup1dangertxt"] Brows would raise slightly as Desarae moved to take his arm, and not just because she accepted it much more easily than anticipated. She didn't simply allow her arm to hang loosely in his, but instead took it into her grip. And a surprisingly firm grip at that. He could feel the density of her muscles, her hardened and toned limbs holding fast against his own. He didn't see what kind of workouts the lady was getting up to before this whole exchange started, but it was becoming clear that she wasn't just there to maintain her figure or do a bit of cardio. This was a fit woman whose body was covered in lean muscle, a prospect that brought a pleased smile to his face as he looked down at her. Suddenly the possibilities had expanded exponentially, a soft breath being pushed through his nostrils as he turned to lead her out of the gym.[break][break]
As soon as they did Dezi would speak up, Frederick listening carefully to his words while keeping his eyes on the path ahead. Her words immediately prompted a soft chuckle, but otherwise he would remain silent until she finished what she had to say. It was rude to interrupt after all. Once she finished he would let out a sigh, his free hand moving to gently rest on her extended arm as his dark gaze would shift slightly to bring her into his view. He would remain silent at first, his calm smile remaining constant as they took a few more steps down the paved road before abruptly speaking up. "You know, my mother always told me I was an absolutely terrible liar." His smile grew into one of fond reflection, as if his words caused an amusing story to suddenly start playing in his mind as he spoke.[break][break]
"And that is why everything I say comes from the heart. I apologize if me speaking my mind makes you uncomfortable, but I can assure you that every word I speak is genuine. What you're seeing is who I am, bells and whistles included. This is simply how I do things." His hand would give her arm a slight squeeze of reassurance as he turned his gaze forward once again. "So I hope that you'll believe me when I say that I have enjoyed your company thus far and would like to get to know you better." His lips peeled back into a grin as he turned to look at Tiny, who slowed his pace to allow himself to walk along side the pair. "It's a good thing she just met us, or I might be offended that she thought I was capable of such treacherous behavior." The rodent would simply grunt at the comment, prompting another bit of laughter from the trainer.[break][break]
Frederick would take a deep breath, creating a slight pause that allowed him to get his bearings on their current location. With how aimless his wandering was it would've been easy to get lost on this unfamiliar campus. "If you don't want to go through with this then I will reluctantly release you from our agreement and we may part ways and never speak of this again. Your debt can be forgiven and we can go back to being perfect strangers." His smile would remain constant as he spoke, accentuating the hint of playfulness to his otherwise serious tone. "As much as I enjoy your company I'm not so cruel as to hold you against your will."
She just needed a proper mental reset when it came to this very overwhelming person beside her. The rattling of her nerves had her acting all out of sorts - her own insecurities manifesting with fangs that tore into her very flesh. Did she want to go with him or not? Was she sure he was mocking her, or no? This was so far out of her wheelhouse, she didn’t know what to make of it. Her head was on fire from blushes and confusion, it seemed like nothing was going to get her head screwed back on right, then.[break][break]
“My mother always told me I was an absolutely terrible liar.”[break][break]
Her scattered thoughts gripped onto the words he started with and she looked up at him with timid curiosity. Her thoughts cleared for a moment as he explained himself. He was just bold and and over the top in a way. Honest, to the point of being blunt - like commenting on her smell of all things. It gave her pause, but his every word was accented with calming and friendly smiles. The brief quip about being possibly offended by her accusation cut into her though.[break][break]
She rubbed the back of her neck more, looking almost ashamed then. Ashamed and bashful, but his final assurances seemed to spark her back up a bit more. The quiet lulled on as those red eyes of her’s became distant in thought. Did she want to call it quits and take the out? He wasn’t… He wasn’t making fun of her, that was just her head messing with her, and after how much of a bother she had been… She rolled her shoulders a little.[break][break]
“... I’m uh… I’m sorry. For the accusations and weird wishy-washy responses” she sighed, glancing off to the side in consideration. “I’m not uh… Ya see, you really threw me off my game. Like I said, this is kind of new to me - even the whole some hot guy suddenly dragging me out for a fake date, or giving me compliments is new? Sad, yeah, but uh, I promise I usually don’t act this stupid or flimsy!” she quipped, letting out a nervous laugh before taking a deep breath. She needed to recenter. She needed to calm the fuck down and get over the fact this guy was a solid 8 out of 10, and her little 5 self needed to accept it.[break][break]
“... I’m up for it though. The fake date and whole make-it-up-to-you thing. I gotta figure this out, s--so yeah. If you’re still willing despite my weirdness right now, I’d… I’d appreciate it?”[break][break]
She gave a nervous smile. Flustered and clearly feeling really awkward, but Desarae was trying. She wanted to know what these kinds of things were like, y’know? Going on dates, doing just girly stuff, whatever. That’s why she was here. She couldn’t quit now!

[attr="class","wassup1dangertxt"] A soft breath of amusement would slip through his nostrils as he caught Desarae's shameful look from the corner of his eye. Perhaps the most amusing thing about this girl was the way all of her emotions seemed to play out on her face. It was as if he could chart the entire route that her thoughts traveled along as he spoke, which may have been why watching her weather this roller coaster of a first meeting was so entertaining to witness. Oh how he wished he had a camera so he could snapshot each and every one of these expressions, as he was sure that the more they interacted the less fantastic her reactions would become.[break][break]
He would listen patiently and attentively as she gave her response, even going so far as to apologize for her earlier comment. As she spoke he would continuously give her arm soft reassuring pats while maintaining his warm smile and head bobbing his head along with her words. This smile would quickly shift into a broad grin as a pair of key words somehow managed to escape her. Hot guy. Somehow he doubted that she meant to say that, but that didn't mean the comment wasn't appreciated. "So now I'm the one being flattered? I'm not sure why you were upset by this. I think it feels absolutely wonderful." A hint of laughter colored his words, his hand moving away from her arm to tug on the collar of his jacket.[break][break]
The spike of energy would fade quickly, his calm smile returning as he shook his head as if to dismiss his previous comment. "I am so glad that you are willing to put this trust in me. It will be my sincere honor and pleasure to guide your hips through the rhythmic dance of love and romance." His pace would slow, his eyes focusing intently on hers as he brought his hand up to her face. His head tilted slightly to one side, the corner of his lips tugging upward just a touch as he moved to delicately brush the bangs away from her face. "Because if this is you 'off your game', then I am very eager to get to know you at your best." He paused once again, taking a moment to simply stare into her eyes and linger on this brief moment. Just as the moment seemed to drag on he would abruptly speak up, his attention turning back to the path ahead as he returned to his previous walking speed. "So! Where do you think we should go?"
Desarae was definitely an open book by all means. Her expressions were wild and varied, nothing hidden, everything just out in the open. It’s how she always was because there was usually nothing she really had to hide. With her friends, she could speak her mind with ease, but this new place put a small dent in that openness she was used to. No friends, no one that knew her that well… But a wave of relief washed over her with his initial jovial response to her words. He lit up - just as expressive as herself for a moment.[break][break]
Okay. She could do this. Even if his ‘metaphor’ already had her blushing from how risque it sounded. Guide her hips? She opened her mouth to consider saying something about that, but then his hand touched her face and Desarae Waters shut up immediately. He really had a way of striking her with just the right flattery to make her shut up very quickly. Her brows furrowed slightly in confusion and her face became hot with an obvious blush. She was trapped in his gentle touch as her hair was swept aside - letting her ruby red eyes meet his fully. She was a little dazzled to say the least.[break][break]
Frederick was far too much for these unsteady waters, but if she wanted to figure stuff out, this was the best way to do it. Just dive straight into it. However, his gaze alone was making her hold her breath. A thing that didn’t even occur to her until they were off again. Desarae almost stumbled over herself, but got her footing and quickly tried to remember how to walk. How to think came next as her strides evened up, and then finally she could get her thoughts aligned long enough to speak.[break][break]
“Ah well… Well, flattery is hard to take when you’re not used to it” she laughed, despite how sad such a confession sounded. Another foot in mouth moment she’d bash her head on the wall for later, no doubt. Regardless, she quickly skipped to the next thing. “Anyways, um-- Dates usually are at like… Movies or cafes right? We could go grab that bite to eat we were talking about? The campus cafeteria might be open or uh… We could go to towwwwwn?” She hung on that last word for a long moment in a pure unsure chime. He was the “expert” here, after all, but this felt kind of like a little test. [break][break]

[attr="class","wassup1dangertxt"] That small moment between the two ended as suddenly as it started, Frederick not even offering a teasing laugh or smile as they moved on to the task at hand. The two of them had a date that simply had to be absolutely perfect. However he did offer a soft chuckle at her somewhat delayed response, his head shaking as his free hand moved to slide his thumb behind one of his suspenders. "Well then I'll just have to flatter you until you can accept it with grace. Don't worry, love. It'll be completely painless." A quick glance and a wink were shot in her direction before his gaze would return to the path ahead. It seemed that their wandering had led them close to the school's gates, almost as if the hand of fate were guiding them off the campus.[break][break]
"Good answers! Though your confidence could use a bit of work." His voice remained light and pleased despite his correction. "Personally I feel that movies are something that is more enjoyable once you've already grown close to someone. You can't get to know one another when you're focused on the film. I'd suggest saving that for when you've reached a stage where you are pleased to simply be in the other's company... Or if you're just looking to fool around a bit in the dark. But that's a lesson for another day." It was at this point that his teasing smile would make it's reappearance, his brows raising slightly as he watched Dezi from the corner of his eye. He wouldn't leave her hanging for too long this time, only waiting a beat or two before setting matters straight. "Don't worry my dear. Just a little joke."[break][break]
Their course would shift toward the threshold that lead to the town proper, a hand reaching into his jacket's inner pocket to pull out a cellphone. His thumb would work quickly as he quickly did a search for local hangouts, someplace that would make a good spot for a first date. It didn't take long for him to find the perfect location! One of the many small cafes that littered the city that had solid reviews and an absolutely adorable little gimmick. It would be perfect. "Cafe de Drifloon sounds like a good place. Get some tea and a post-workout snack while we enjoy eachother's company." The device was slid back into his pocket, his smile turning toward Desarae as he waited for her approval. "How does that sound?"

Flatter her until she was used to it? This had to be some kind of secret murder plot, because her heart would surely explode again if he kept running his mouth. How did she end up in this situation? Her cheeks flushed pink at his wink, but that was that for now. There was no escape though, and she accepted that. They had more important matters to focus on.[break][break]
At that point, it almost felt more like she was with a teacher when he just corrected her lack of confidence. His tone was gentle, certainly not scolding her and it brought about a sense of ease despite how flustered and fluttered he made her feel. He had a lot of good points to provide! A sense of his approval was a bit more effective than she anticipated. That was likely from the fact she was already dazzled by him, though.[break][break]
As he went on, she felt like she should’ve been taking notes, but there was no way to go about that, right now. Not that she could make notes when he joked about fooling around in the dark and how it was a lesson for another day. Pardon? What did that even mean? She got what fooling around in the dark meant, but what about the lesson part? He wasn’t thinking about--[break][break]
Their path shifted and her brain derailed with it. Really, she couldn’t let herself harbor on that idea because that was well beyond her current experience level. She stepped after him properly as he simply took the lead. Her eyes curiously watched his phone as she shifted her focus to where they might go, instead. To which he answered with a suggestion that made her perk up properly. Desi smiled, before curtly nodding at his question.[break][break]
“That sounds really nice, actually” she assured. “I don’t really know much about tea, but I’m always up to learn… Clearly!”
