Comments

[tealeafs]

[ It's true that it is a double whammy, huh. Being bad at asking for things in the first place, and then on top of it also not knowing what exactly it is that you want in the first place - even if the latter may flow a little out of the former, though not entirely.

At least it's a little reassuring to hear Jinx say the same thing. That she also sometimes doesn't know what she wants. It's a little surprising, even, since in Chizuru's eyes Jinx does seem like a person who often knows what she wants..

But as she's thinking about all that, her expression thoughtful as she's staring at the other's smile, she's thrown out of the thoughts a little bit by that last part. It makes her glance around them, eyes wide as they meet the scenery around them, the world viewed from above, but then her gaze returns to Jinx.

She ducks her head, blushing a little. ]

Was it not supposed to be..?

[ Don't worry, Jinx. She gets that it's a little bit of a lighthearted joke - so rather than it completely going over her head, this is her way of going along with it while still having a lot to think about at the same time. ]

[opheliac]

( maybe to someone else the joke she made was pretty lame, but it brings a chuckle out of jinx. she brings up her hand to cover her face to laugh because say it don't spray it! not that she would do that, although it does happen on accidents. when she simmers down, the girl grins and looking back over. )

Shit, who knows! This place is so crazy that I can't even keep up with it. — And that is sayin' a lot.

( this doesn't ruin the mood though, not by a long shot. if anything, it just makes everything feel more natural and real. and it also doesn't stop her from leaning right back in; purring in the other's ear. )

You're so silly, Rabbit. I can always count on ya to make me laugh.

( then a feathery kiss on the cheek. it's not the lips but... hopefully she'll get to those. )

[tealeafs]

[ At least she seems receptive of the kiss on her cheek, without any surprise yelping.. though Chizuru may be blushing a little, because physical contact is still a lot in general when you've been raised in the kind of society Chizuru comes from, especially as a girl. But there's no protest, just-- a moment of silence where she seems to be processing it in the aftermath.

Especially when it's coupled with those words. ]

.. I'm glad if I can make you laugh.

[ At least she knows that much, and she slowly raises a hand to put it on the cheek Jinx just kissed, feeling the heat there.

Though it's at that moment that Chizuru also turns her head, letting out a gasp as she sees just how high they've gotten. ]

O-Oh, look at the view..! [ Her eyes are growing a little wider as she's looking at it herself. ]

[opheliac]

( her lips parted to make a comment but whatever statement was going to be get shushed abruptly by the other's exclaim of the view. so jinx turns her attention to it too, and like chizuru, stares at it in awe.

the girl had seen many sunrises, sunsets, and the heights of trench about a dozen times by now. but with each moment, it's never dull or boring. her pinks sparkle in every given opportunity at these sights. unlike chizuru, though, she doesn't voice out the beauty on what's ahead of them -- only expresses it by how soft and almost child-like her face is appearing. imagine.

there was a time in her life she wondered if she would ever be lucky enough to see something this remarkable. )

It's beautiful...

( she whispers this; entirely stunned. the ride itself does stop for a brief bit for them to sit there at the top. how nice of the man down below to let them see this. jinx didn't need to threaten him. what a guy! )

[tealeafs]

[ By the time Chizuru manages to rip her gaze away from the scenery - thankfully while the ride is still stopped for a moment - to turn her head towards Jinx, she can't help but notice that expression on the other's face. It's not entirely surprising, since she's seen Jinx very child-like about things before. Sometimes she comes across a lot younger than she is, especially when she gets all excited.

Even if this is a little more of a muted kind of excitement compared to the usual.

Still.. it makes Chizuru laugh, though very softly. Fondly, rather than the sound of someone that's making fun of someone else. ]

You look like you haven't seen this much before, even though you must have.

[ After all, Jinx is way more adventerous than Chizuru herself is. She would've been at way more high up places than Chizuru, she figures. ]

[opheliac]

( if it wasn't for her giggle, jinx would had never broken her starry-like gawk of their scenery. the girl glances over and her face beats rapidly into a shade of red with embarrassment. the gaze rips off somewhere else -- the door looks lovely, for starters. people should really admire how beautiful doors can be, way better than the beauty of nature for sure. )

S-Shaddup, Squeaky.

( don't worry, the comment and the name calling is matching the tone with chizuru's. not out of anger or hurtful mockery, but light and maybe a little bashfulness, too. and although despite it all, jinx does lean in further to place her head on the other's shoulder. a soft breath flows out of her chest -- taking advantage of this opportunity to rest her eyes for a moment to relax. )

[tealeafs]

[ The girl doesn't move. Instead she just sits there, allowing Jinx to lean against her, even going as far as lowering her head onto Chizuru's shoulder. She's still mentally fussing a little bit over that last comment, b-but she likes to think Jinx didn't mean it in an unkind way.. It's probably just that she didn't know what else to say, right?

(After all, who is annoyed by someone and then instantly leans on their shoulder? That's clearly not how it works, even Chizuru knows that.) ]

You.. can stay like that, if you want.

[ A slight pause, and then she adds: ]

Until we're all the way back to the ground, I mean.

[ Since otherwise it's going to be a little hard to get out of this carriage.. But until then? Chizuru definitely isn't bothered by this in the slightest. ]

[opheliac]

Mmm...

( it looks as if she'll take up on this offer; resting along her shoulder with her eyes slowly fluttering open. lazily, she idly doodles little swirls and lines over the back of chizuru's hand. there's something brewing in her mind -- gears are turning, but she's seeking for the right words to form them into a coherent sentence. )

— Thanks for... being out here with me. I know I haven't shown it, but I've been pretty nervous.

( hums a little chuckle at the sudden thought that flies by in her head. )

Haven't been slap yet so I must be doin' right with this dating thing.

[tealeafs]

[ Chizuru seems to take those words in with a momentary quiet contemplation - though it doesn't take too long for her to speak up. She isn't looking at Jinx, since it's a little hard in their current position, so Chizuru is just staring at the scenery as she speaks. ]

There's no need to be nervous..

[ Pot, kettle.

But Chizuru wouldn't be Chizuru if she wasn't constantly trying to put other people at ease as much as she can. ]

We're just out here together to have fun, right..?

[opheliac]

Yyyyeap! 'Least I am. And if you're not, we still got plenty of stuff linin' up to twist that mood around.

( which does finally get the ferries wheel back in motion for them to reach the ground again. )

Just wait 'till we get to the food. My favorite part of anything.

( jinx removes her head off the girl's shoulder and sits more upright -- doing little twists and such to stretch any sore muscles. )
