[ And it's true. Having superpowers kind of made her immediately cross off the idea of donating, but... if it works out that she can, then she'll keep doing it. No reason not to! Besides, with how flustered Allen is getting over it, she's grateful for that too. It's cute... ]
Well! Uh... nobody needs a lift right now and I don't really have my fingers in any other pies, so... my schedule's open, too. Looks like we could do something right now. If you wanted to.
[UH. SHIT. ITS SO SOON. HE NEEDS MORE TIME TO PREPARE]
[Except. He's really not sure what he'd do with that extra time to prepare. Other than work himself into a heart attack. Or slowly go into another nervous breakdown]
[Screw it!! You only live once!]
Ah...well-
I know a good food stand on the beach? It's usually open pretty late! Ino said you liked food...
Oh, that? I've just got some experience with public speaking. Trust me, I think we're about on par right now.
[ She'd be a bad superhero if she couldn't face a world disaster and not keep the freakouts from the public eye!! BUT that's maybe not a good thing to have carried into her private life. Misha pls. ]
It's all kind of samey when you don't live there, isn't it? Anyway, that sounds good! I'll be waiting!
[ Believe it or not, SHE GETS IT. Weird, huh? But yeah, with the clicking off of the comms she's gonna do likewise. Somewhere that her crew can't see her. Eeee! ]
[ OH THANK GOD SHE GETS IT. That's a relief otherwise that would've looked weird... ]
[But between freaking out moments, he spends the next half hour getting ready. Making sure he's wearing a decent outfit- something nice but not too fancy? He tries his best with what he has, while trying to sort what's going on. Tonight's been a weird night]
[But finally he makes his way over to the Golden. He uses the transporter that the ship has, thanks to having a comms officer. He's got...a fish with him. A glowy fish with a lantern. What? He didn't have time to get flowers and they ended up with so many of these cheap little guys.]
[ Misha was likewise fretting around and trying to get ready. She doesn't have any clothes that are overly nice, but she's been around just long enough to pick up some odds and ends that smush together to make something dressy-casual. It isn't anything special, but she isn't just slobbing it up either. That works, right?
When she sees him and sees what he's brought, she immediately has to cover her mouth with a hand to stop the small squeak and laugh because that is amazing. He brought a tiny little glowfish with him. After a moment she finally pulls her hand away enough to speak. ]
[He meanwhile turns a little bit pink in the cheeks at her reaction. Was that a good squeak? Was that a bad laugh? It seems pretty good?! He hopes it is at least]
Ah...yeah. I couldn't find any flowers, but my ship has a lot of these fish so-
[Was this a stupid idea? He feels a bit stupid. But he'll hold it out for her]
Oh, um- hopefully it's a good impression? [He looks a bit sheepish] Sorry...I'm rather rusty at this.
[Nobody expects the fish!! And he shakes his head at that]
That's alright! You didn't have to get me anything. [Uh what's a good way to say it without getting into gentleman stuff- oh!] Your company is more than enough.
If it was a bad impression, I'd be kicking you off my ship.
[ Well, maybe. Probably not anything that extreme to start off with... still, talking big is better than being nervous and meek. She laughs at his comment, a quick chuckle. ]
Oh boy. Looks like I've got a charmer on my hands.
[ She'll give a quick grin before ducking away and skittering off. Oh man, he brought her a fish. It's cute and she's not quite sure what to do with it, but she can figure it out later. For now she'll drop it off with one of her crewmates to make sure it doesn't die, then heads back quickly without hopefully seeming too eager. ]
[He meanwhile stood awkwardly where he was, wringing his hands nervously. At least...it seems to be going well so far??? Man today's been a strange day]
[ She motions toward the shuttle and opens it up so they can both head inside. Tries not to be nervous about the whole thing. Without really thinking about it, she's heading for the pilot's seat. She's a pilot, it's her ship, of course she's driving. Duh. ]
[He follows along, and moves to sit in the passenger seat without complaint. He knows how to fly, but this is a Golden shuttle- not his to fly. Like a good cautious person, he buckles up]
It's right on the beach of one of the Spiral Island? [Yes i just made up a name deal with it] Apparently they have great views of the night sky, so they like to be open late.
Hey, that totally works for me. Even if we get space all the time out here, it's... different to see it from a planet.
[ Like being away from it, returning to making space untouchable makes it more real. Living in a tiny ship constantly traversing the stars takes some of that magic away to her. ]
And at least we—probably won't stand out. Too badly. There's bound to be couples and everyone there so less pressure, right?
[ Misha nods and they're out of the Golden moments later. She concentrates on flying for only a few moments before they're generally in a safe zone and she can speak again. ]
Well, I don't know if Ino told you this, but, uh... this is actually my first date. Ever. So. [ She pauses, bites her lip, smiles nervously despite herself. ] So. I don't know where I was going with that, actually.

I know a good food stand on the beach? It's usually open pretty late! Ino said you liked food...
voice;
[ Oh dear, she is TOTALLY LOSING HER COOL. This is what it looks like!!! It's... not that obvious actually. She flips out on the inside instead. ]
Ugh, food. I miss it so much. That sounds like a great idea.
[ Surprise, she does actually eat more than a regular human. Nothing to the level of shonen protagonist, though. ]
voice;
[Right!! He can do this! What's there to be afraid of besides everything?! Pshaw!]
[He laughs a little]
Alright, then food is a must! We can meet in half an hour- er, what ship are you on?
voice;
[ Everything is PRETTY SCARY. But Misha isn't, so it's okay! Clearly!! ]
I'm on the Golden. Did you want to meet on the ship first, take a shuttle down?
voice;
[SERIOUSLY YOU SEEM WAY MORE CHILL and not feeling like you're being murdered by stomach butterflies]
That'll work! I'd probably get lost if we met on the planet. So...on the Golden it is!
voice;
[ She'd be a bad superhero if she couldn't face a world disaster and not keep the freakouts from the public eye!! BUT that's maybe not a good thing to have carried into her private life. Misha pls. ]

voice;
[Um...that sounded creepier than he meant it to be, so he clears his throat, awkwardly]
But um- great! I'll see you then!
[And he'll be shutting off his comm to go freak out. Then maybe get ready. Whatever!]
voice;
[ Believe it or not, SHE GETS IT. Weird, huh? But yeah, with the clicking off of the comms she's gonna do likewise. Somewhere that her crew can't see her. Eeee! ]

Hi, Allen. I see you brought a friend?
action;
Ah...yeah. I couldn't find any flowers, but my ship has a lot of these fish so-
[Was this a stupid idea? He feels a bit stupid. But he'll hold it out for her]
Um- It's gold! Like your ship?
action;
It's for me? I... thank you. Fish instead of flowers definitely leaves an impression.
[ It's a good thing, definitely, but she also was not expecting a fish. Who expects a fish?? ]
I, uh... I didn't get you anything, though.
action;
[Nobody expects the fish!! And he shakes his head at that]
That's alright! You didn't have to get me anything. [Uh what's a good way to say it without getting into gentleman stuff- oh!] Your company is more than enough.

action;
[He'd at least like to make it to dinner otherwise that's gonna be a depressing report to Ino]
Aha...I try?
action;
[ She lifts the fish partway before tilting her head. ]
I'm gonna put this guy somewhere safe, and then we can go. That okay?
action;
That's okay with me!
action;
Okay! We're good. Ready?
action;
Ah- yes! I'm ready if you are!

You'll have to show me where we're going, though.

Re: action;
[Well you could but you have to be real fast about it. Plus yeah. Allen's missed being on the ground.]
And r-right! And don't worry, there's no pressure! We're just...supposed to relax and have fun, right?
action;
Well, I don't know if Ino told you this, but, uh... this is actually my first date. Ever. So. [ She pauses, bites her lip, smiles nervously despite herself. ] So. I don't know where I was going with that, actually.
