Definitely!

[She hurries in, tugging him along by the hand. While she's mostly poised, her fingers squeeze his in giddy, childish excitement as they're ushered into a booth. She has to let go then, to sit, but they each get a menu and she begins pouring over it, fascinated.]

There's so much...

[offshoots]

More than the other restaurant I took you to, huh?

[though he had garbled some protest as she dragged him inside, he doesn't actually mind it. he's relaxing in his booth, sinking into some American 1950's style theme they have going on. checkered floors and red upholstery is the main component, now that they're inside.

he's more interested in watching her than his own menu -- his chin in his hand as he watches her go over each and every pie, cake, tart, and other dessert offered with increasing excitement.]

The portions should be smaller here, compared to the banana pile you devoured.

[sealeted]

Mhm!

[She nibbles her lower lip, brow furrowed in deep contemplation.]

Maybe... a slice of apple pie, and a custard fruit tart, and one of the chocolate options...?

[offshoots]

[it's really hard not to smile at how she acts when it comes to sweets.

so he chuckles quietly as she lists off and mumbles about the things she wants.]

You're not gonna start coming here every day to try everything from now on, are you?

[sealeted]

No, I don't want to risk getting sick of it.

[She's surprisingly serious about this...]

Once a week, maybe. Though, first I have to take a turn and find a place you like, too...

[offshoots]

[once a week. the grin widens slightly at her seriousness

then drops

turns again. what's with her and turns? he uses the hand propping up his chin and waves his hand.]

No, no. I like this place just fine, too.

[sealeted]

I want to surprise you too, sometimes.

[You know, outside of the bedroom.]

There's nothing wrong with finding more enjoyable places, is there?

[offshoots]

[almost indiscernible, he mumbles:]

You do that already...

[INSIDE THE BEDROOM.

and outside, at times.]

There isn't, no. I mean, if anything, it's probably a good thing to find places that you enjoy here to unwind and whatnot.

[sealeted]

Not just me.

[Her voice is firm, but the budding argument is killed in the cradle as a waitress swoops in to take her order.]

[offshoots]

[thank goodness for waitresses and their shitty as fuck timing.

he had a feeling she would say that and he doesn't want to get into it.]

I'll have a slice of apple pie, custard cherry tart, and mmm... this triple chocolate cheesecake.

[he stole most of her order.

but he is Robin Hood.]

[sealeted]

[She gets the same, except with a chocolate lava cake instead.

Now robin won't get to pawn off his food on her under the premise of "sharing".]

Thanks so much.

[She's always nice to the serving staff, and this one seems to appreciate it, as she swans off to the next table.]

The uniforms here are pretty cute, huh?

[offshoots]

[god DAMN IT

he looks at her flatly and nearly flags the waitress down to change his order, but he's lazy.

besides, a bit of apple pie sounds good, too.]

Didn't notice.

[but now he looks a little more closely.]

Oh, yeah, they're cute. Those heels have to suck to work in. [he says it like someone might be commenting about the weather. no flirting, no staring for longer than necessary. he's turning back to face Hakuno.] You have a thing for red, huh?

[sealeted]

...huh? Not particularly, I don't think.

[She tilts her head in confusion.]

I wear it about as much as green or blue, or even pink.

[offshoots]

[it might be better that she doesn't get it.

it's been a while now.]

Nevermind. Well, if you wore it, I'm sure you'd look cute in it as well.

[real casual-like. he picks up the complimentary water to take a sip.]

[sealeted]

[He still hasn't fully grasped the "three main Servants" aspect either, so they're at an impasse.]

Yeah? I think I've got a nice dress at home somewhere in red. I'll wear it next time we do something like this.

[offshoots]

[but 2/3 of them were very red. and he pretty much butts heads something fierce with all three, too. so they're like one pain in the ass entity.

more important is Hakuno saying she would dress up for him? Robin prefers green on himself but there's red beginning to stain his cheeks at the implications of that.]

No, wear whatever you want. Not what I think is cute...

[he hides half of his face behind his hand and places his attention on the water in his glass.

why is she like this]

[sealeted]

[He also doesn't know she... doesn't remember Mumei as 'hers'...]

You've got good taste, though. What's wrong with wanting to look cute?

[offshoots]

[say that to his ERO DELTA, HAKUNO. his sin triangle.]

There's nothing wrong with it.

[it just makes him feel strangely agitated when it's for him and he doesn't LIKE THAT FEELING.]

I think you're the first person that's ever said I have good taste...

[sealeted]

You keep proving you do, so...

[She shrugs.]

[offshoots]

[because he took her to a restaurant he knew obviously catered to her interests?]

Aha, I get it. You're saying that because I ordered the same thing as you.

[sealeted]

This diner, the place last time...

[She wobbles her hand from side to side.]

It's a bunch of things.

[offshoots]

That's only two.

[not that he needs the list. not that he wants it.]

Only one of those I found for myself. The other one was, uh...

[shutting up.

the hell is wrong with him?]

[sealeted]

Hm?

[Well, well, that's an intriguing abruptness! Do share, Robin.]

[offshoots]

[no, she'll have to use a Command Seal.]

Nothing. Don't worry about it. I like sweets, too.

[banana flavored ones.]

[sealeted]

Yeah, I'd hope so. I'd feel bad if you were just choking them down to make me feel better.

[She sips at her water, eying him up.]

...I have been looking for parks, too.
