[ shutting down an entire theme park for one night for her new friends was an exhausting but rewarding effort, and unfortunately not one she can simply replicate a second time for a date. that said even when they get through the gates (for free -- some things are in the realm of possibility), haru feels both overwhelmed and overjoyed to see how many people are in attendance. it's sunday, the park is crammed with people of all ages wandering about, and haru turns to akira with a cheery smile. ]
You know, I've never been here before with so many people around. Of course I knew the park was popular, but I had no idea until just this moment.
[ and, despite reluctance, she immediately starts to walk with the expectation that he follows. she's nervous yes, but not reserved or lacking in boldness for a new adventure. and it doesn't take longer than a few short seconds before she spots something in the distance. ]
[ What Akira really wants to do is make a shitty joke. It'd be poor in taste to make awful puns so soon. Haru just wants to have a good time!! She doesn't need his terrible sense of humor. Akira looks a little distracted when he replies. ]
They're huge. Do you want to buy one? We can split it.
[ Akira follows after her while smiling the entire way. Normally he isn't this relaxed because people say terrible things about him. He's always scowling, but not today.
Haru's company is great. She's generous and it's something that he appreciates. ]
They have so many colors. Which one interests you the most?
[ she points to the pink color, because of course she must, and the vendor prepares it within a minute. they show off the whole process of rotating the plastic cone around to collect the cotton until a proper puff is made, and hands it off to haru after she pays. ]
It's so interesting how they get it on the cone. It isn't the same as making the cotton, but I could watch food preparation like that all day long.

Yeah, it's busy on weekends like this. I'm glad I came here with you. Let's go walk around for a bit.
[ So he tilts his glasses upwards and smiles faintly. ]

Akira, look, that vendor is selling cotton candy.

[ He doesn't mind sharing. ]
no subject
[ she was thinking the same thing, even if part of her wants to keep it for herself. it's smarter to share when she isn't sure if she'll like it. ]
I'll pay for it. My treat.
[ as is everything today, but she won't say that. if she has more money, then it only seems fair to pay. ]

You need the right equipment or skill to make it look that way. I should take some notes. We could try doing it ourselves.
[But it might not look as nice. Haru's holding such a big puff of cotton candy. They should eat it before it spoils. ]
