[ Surprisingly, Kokoro does like kissing. It's the least scary thing to do with someone else when your definition of making out always stops with the clothes on.
Still, she could feel the tiniest trickle of life energy drawing from him into her, warming her lips by a few degrees. Kokoro pulled back and flushed red.]
S-sorry, I didn't mean to do that.

I... It was a little, teeny tiny bit of your life energy. I'm really sorry. I thought I had better control over that, but I guess I don't.
[ She squeezed his hand, now properly nervous. ]
You can kiss me anywhere else, though, and it won't happen. I guess lips are still off limits.
[ Being a yuki-onna was a pain, someone please hit her with a bus so she can be a normal person next life. ]

Ah, yeah. I thought you might want that...
[Kokoro patted his hand.]
SOOO... you probably don't, since you're from Italy, so if you don't know what a yuki-onna is, that's fine. But basically, they're supposed to be a type of ghost in my country. That's what all the legends say. And sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're not. My family has them every once in a while, and surprise! I won the stupid lottery.
I'm not dead or anything, if that's what you're worried about. I'm just a little colder than most people and if I'm not careful I will literally kiss the life out of you.
[She held up both hands and waved them as if trying to assure him.] But I really try not to. It's supposed to help enhance my abilities and things, but I don't... super like it. I even had my great-whatever grandmother teach me how to control it better.
I could show you sometime, but in order to do that I'd have to kiss like 10 people to get the most energy and also not like... kill anyone.

[ Ryo didn't consider the possibility that he could have been stood up. That would embarrass most people, wouldn't it? He doesn't know if it would have bothered him, though. He's accustomed to getting the things he wants, even if he has to demand them. There's perks to being who and what he is. People tended to do things for him, sometimes without realizing that they were. Hashtag Satan Perks. ]
Oh. I guess that's true.
[ He had no idea. He took a couple of steps to be next to Mista. ]
I have somewhere in mind. Unless you are actually feeling like showing off in there.
[ He tilts his heads towards the gun range. ]

[ He had a lot of time to think about this date. How he'd act. What he'd do. What was appropriate. All of those things were important if he wanted to seem like a perfectly normal person. He reached for Mista's arm, and grabbed it, stepping in close and looking towards him easily. ]
Well, I was thinking somewhere that'd be easy to talk a little first. You know, like food? Then maybe we can come here.
[ No surprises, then. It wasn't like Ryo often went on dates, he didn't even typically spend time in savory locations in his free time. But this was different, right? ]
Surprises aren't for everyone.

[He raised a very valid point. Neither one of them wanted to be turning into crystal. She mulled it over for a few minutes, eyes downcast for a moment while she twisted a loose pink lock of hair around and over her
fingers. There was a chance she might hurt him, but he was almost weirdly OK with it?
Ugh, it was a lot to think about. Kokoro nodded after another long pause.]
So, you should probably kiss me then, huh?
[Well?]

[ To Ryo, it's kind of funny that he thinks that of him. A thought he keeps to himself, of course. He's glad that he is coming off as normal. Even before he knew who he was, there wasn't anyone who would accuse him of being normal. He keeps his eyes locked on Mista.
Focusing on someone while they talk is a courtesy, and being attentive is good while on a date, he guesses. But there were no doubts about this was. ]
I have just the place, then.
[ It's not too far, too. They can sit, eat, and talk. And he can do his best to get to know Mista. ]
I don't usually go on dates.
[ It could be interpreted as a compliment, right? That he made some sort of exception because he was actually interested in Mista. ]

Yeah, of course.
[Her hands were pleasantly cool as she held on lightly to his arms. The odd feeling of her also drawing on his life energy was fainter this time, as she concentrated on turning it down as much as possible. Her tongue darted out along his lower lip in quiet invitation. He might be helping her, but she isn't about to make the experience unpleasant. Despite the best efforts of her body to try and drain him.
Kokoro pulled back after a moment, slightly flushed.]
Still OK?
