WHEN: Tuesday around noon
WHAT: A date that Annie doesn't realise is a date.

Just as promised, Hide's pretty on the ball with showing up on time. Maybe it was because he can now run at a speed that's uncomfortably fast; but it's more likely that he doesn't want to be late for the first date he actually successfully managed to get in his life.

Even if the other party might not have taken the invite quite as seriously as a certain rabbit-boy did.

He'll take a minute outside to make sure he didn't catch a part of his clothes on fire--trust when he says he's done this before--before he knocks on her door. He hoped she was inside and didn't stand him up--it was his first 'date', okay, he had fears--and waits for her to answer.

...

Wait, shit, weren't people supposed to bring gifts to first dates or something.

Or was it second dates...

Said thoughts are going to cloud him up a bit by the time she answers the door, so don't mind the weird face he might be making at that point. When she does answer, though, said strange expression will be replaced with that infectious-or-irritatingly bright smile, and a wave of his right hand.

"Aaaaaannie-chan! Good morning! Are you ready to go?" Not that he's rushing or anything--

Oh my god calm down.

Sweeps everyone into her polygamous arms... her giant, polygamous arms...

As a matter of fact, she's been on one date, and she was the one who paid for everything. So no, she really doesn't see the pattern here - it's not a pattern she's dealt with. She doesn't object to him walking with her, but it's not like she says outright "feel free to do as you will." Annie makes an indeterminate humming noise, brushing her bangs back off her face and starting to walk.

If she doesn't say no, is it a yes?

[nagachika]

It wasn't a no. And therefore, he's taking it as a yes. This is just how it's going to go. He fixes the collar of his coat, waving goodbye to the front of house before following after her, hands sidled into his pockets.

So far, so good. He'd call this a pretty successful for his first actual date with a girl. And he couldn't wait to tell Kaneki later.

"So, do you live far off from here? Not that I mind walking the full way." Superspeed, after all--he could run home if he was worried about time.

"Government housing. Closer to the train station, they keep things all just about in reach." Not anything she minds for the most part. She's being observed. How is that different from normal?

She still doesn't get what this was about. Talk about a terrible information gleaning session... unless in all that ambling discussion, she'd passed measure. For what? Being able to be friends?

"You don't need to walk me back if you've got other things to do." If he does, she'll catch one of the trains that brings them right by the government housing. They're half a block from the train station in this part of town as it is.
