[Hilda has left small packages of chocolates for Canada and Holland on the table for them before she left for school. Canada's is held by a polar bear stuffed animal and Holland's has a rabbit stuffed animal.]

Neutron Diner
[Hilda is decidedly more flirty as she skates around today, winking at anyone over about sixteen or so and lingering at the cars she serves. Cinccino is running around after her, looking rather confused by Hilda's behavior but not really able to do anything about it.]

Hey, do you need anything else?

[That's said in the flirtiest way possible.]

[ Having thankfully avoided working on the actual holiday, when couples were no doubt mobbing every eatery in town, Touma had chosen to stand in for a shift in the kitchen today. Apron tied over the rest of his uniform, and amusing paper hat perched hilariously on his spiky black hair, he was standing in an open doorway and just watching those who were also here this day and working with him.

He thought that he could get used to watching cute girls roll around. Maybe it really was the best part of this crummy fry-cook job, but if you had asked him a few days ago, he wouldn't have admitted it.

The boy would have definitely avoided watching any of them so openly... ]

[achromous]

[Hilda rolls her way back from delivering food and winks at him.]

Like what you see?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Busted! But that's okay. He can play it off like it's no big deal. ] Yeah, actually.

[ Touma is.

The smoothest.

EVER. ] I mean. You move pretty easy on those skates. I don't think I'd be able to do it myself.

[achromous]

[Spinning on her skates, attempting to look cute while doing so.]

You get used to it after a while. I could show you how.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ He smiles. She does a good job of it. ] The lesson's wasted on me. Watching you glide and twirl is enough for me. [ This is not like him. Please don't listen! Oh god, why can't he shut uuuuup. He can't even be bothered to remember the fact he just got done with a date (or two) and he doesn't even know this girl.

Or maybe he does and he just doesn't know it. Having amnesia is suffering. ]

[achromous]

[Hilda is going to be mortified at how she behaved once this is over. It will probably involve hiding in her room all day.]

The customer's always right. Or the fry cook, in this case.

[Twirling some more!]

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Touma chuckles and tips his ridiculous food service hat her way. ] Maybe so.

[ Then he shifts his position against the doorjamb, arms crossed. ] So how come I didn't notice you working here before? I must be spacing out on account of how boring this job is. [ Please tell him she didn't see when he set the frier on fire. He'd like to forget that. ]

[achromous]

My hours are kind of weird, since I have to take care of these guys.

[She gestures to Cinccino, who's looking a bit confused about things.]

It's too bad I didn't see you around before. I'll have to spend more time hanging out in the back.

1/2

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Touma had been focused solely on her, so when he takes a look to the side, he pauses. ] ...ah? [ The heck kind of animal is that? It looks like someone bred a rabbit with a mouse with a bag of cotton. He opens his mouth, about to say something to that effect when the door behind him opens— ]

2/2

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Caught flat-footed, Touma's lean on that door gives way and falls through the now-open doorway onto his ass. ] Ack! [ There's not even anyone there to take responsibility for that happening. It's like the door wasn't shut well in the first place... ]

[achromous]

[Hilda winces.]

Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?

[And then the mint effects take over again.]

I could kiss it better if you are.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Nah, I'm okayyyy.... [ Wait. That's a good opportunity. Don't blow it, idiot! ] ...with that. [ A tiny smile. His elbow did hit the door pretty hard on the way down, but it's suddenly not stinging all that much. ]

[achromous]

[Crouching down.]

Tell me where it hurts.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ "All over" is the wrong answer, right? Touma bends his arm up, right elbow presented to her. ] There.

[achromous]

[Kissing his elbow, watching him through her eyelashes.]

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ ...that's about the hottest "boo-boo kiss" in the history of them. He grins dumbly, a bit of color on his cheeks. ] Thanks. Feels better already.

[achromous]

Good. Tell me if it hurts anywhere else, okay? I'll do what I can.

[Smiling.]

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Heh. I will, but I hope to not have to hurt myself just to get that kind of attention. [ Not that, right now, he minds terribly... ]

[achromous]

I'm sure someone as cute as you gets lots of attention.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ A crooked smile. ] ...something like that.

[achromous]

Oh yeah? Something like what?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Touma glances away. ] Ah, nevermind. That's not important after all, now that we're talking. [ He grips the insides of the doorway with his hands and moves to stand. ]
