Who: Pit and Rune Calstead
Where: starting at Pisces
Summary: ~DATE TIEMS~
Warnings: Probably awkwardness.

There is one smooth angel making his way to a certain door in the Pisces apartment complex. He's wearing a nice pair of brown dress shoes, pristinely ironed khaki pants and beige shirt, tucked in neatly, and serving as the backdrop for a brown tie that has no business being tied so well by a (theoretical) 13-year-old.

He is also carrying a bouquet of flowers. And candy.

And he is wearing cologne. Has the narration mentioned, he also combed and brushed his hair?

This is what happens when you leave your angel to go through puberty alone, Lady Palutena. He overdoes it by a mile.

Still, as confident as he may have seem walking into the complex, he grows more and more nervous by the minute, until he finds himself hesitating as he stands outside of Rune's door. This is going to go okay, right? He hasn't...overdressed, has he?

Closing his eyes, and taking a deep breath, he knocks.

"I could come up with better imaginary friends than Pittoo," he mutters as the host waves them forward.

And once again, Latooni is oddly shocked at seeing people she knows as customers, though this time her eyes just widen at seeing the two of them. Especially together. Wait...had she actually given good advice to either of them? She couldn't quite remember what it was she'd said...

Right, working. She heads over to them with a smile once they're seated.

"Ah, hello!" she said, "I wasn't expecting you two to come here..."

"Latooni! You work here?"

Rune's eyes widened too; she wasn't exactly counting on seeing someone she had gotten advice from here.

"H-hey, Latooni."

"Oh...yeah, I thought I'd mentioned that...," she says, not sure how to react.

Oh, right! Her job. "So, let me get your server...oh, this is my table, of course it is...in that case, what would you both like to drink?" she asks, moving quickly along before she got as caught up in awkward surprise as everyone else in this conversation.

"Uhm... I'll have soda, I guess."

Rune tried not to turn pink. What was a soda...?

"Just water's fine."

"Right!" she said. She kind of wondered if either of them had been to a café before. She didn't wonder about having been on a date...not that she really had either.

"So what made you guys decide to come here today?"

"Someone I know works here too; Minako," Rune answered. "She recommended it."

"Oh right. There are kind of a lot of guests working here...," Latooni observed.

"I wonder why that is...ah, anyway, I'll go get your drinks," she said, hurrying off. She'd be back in a minute or two.

"Thanks, Latooni!" Rune called after her, before turning her focus back to Pit...

...and now what? Oh man...

"S-so..."

Pit has an easy smile on his face.

"Ever tried soda before?"

...great.

"I-I don't know what that is..."

"It's a drink, like water except sweeter and bubblier. I'll let you have a sip when Latooni comes back!"

"Okay, sure. There isn't much that's sweet on my world."

"Well lucky for you, I work at a sweets shop, so you can try all the sweets you'd like~"

Just ask Pittoo, who has been receiving a secret, steady supply of chocolates ever since he showed up.

Pitto is going to murder you one of these days, Pit. Just saying.

"Thanks," Rune replied, offering a small smile.

Latooni returned with a soda and a water shortly, placing each on the table in the neat but uncertain manner of someone still getting used to a serving job.

Well, they looked a little bit less awkward than when she left...

"Did you want anything to eat as well, or did you want to...um, be left alone? To talk, I mean," she asked.

She wasn't sure how to handle this. Normally when her friends went on dates they made sure the rest of the crew was busy doing something else (or mildly terrified of one part of the couple, in Lt. Kyosuke's case).

"Eat? Oh. I hadn't even thought about that." He looks to Rune. "Did you know what you want?"

"Oh, yeah... just a salad is fine," she replied, pausing a moment to think. "Um... I guess with cheese too?"

"Salad...and...um..."

While it wasn't normally something she'd ask, Latooni decided that at least one person here should probably say something directly.

"Neither of you really go out to eat much, do you...?"

"I did back at home. Lady Palutena...she's not exactly a good cook."

Again, Rune looked uncomfortable. Normally she liked having so much to explore... but being around people that already had so much, where things like this were normal... She felt like such an idiot.

"Um... no, never."

Latooni nodded and gave Rune a small smile.

"I didn't either until people started insisting I come along," she admitted, trying to be reassuring.

"But it's okay if you just want a salad. Eating out means eating whatever you want!"
