oh, love!

Hmm. Nice things for each other? That didn't sound like any relationship she knew of. Maybe the definition varied from person to person. She could agree, though. She wanted to be close and do nice things for Hadrian. Did sharing food count? Hopefully he liked chicken nuggets. Taking his hand, her fingers found their home in the spaces between his. "I'm glad you like me." Shaking off the uncharacteristic affectionate feelings, Ania pulled out her trusty little zoo map. There were several restaurants placed strategically around the park, all with various animalesque names. It was a trick to examine a map one handed, and Ania shook it out a couple times to flatten the paper.

"Hey, there's a um ... Zebra Cafe? It's close by where we are now. Oh, there's even a restaurant shaped like a hatching egg. They have such neat building designs. " There were a couple random food stands dotting the campus, but dark clouds were rolling in. "It's not gonna rain, is it?" She liked the rain well enough, just as long as she was inside.

Well, in her mind she could think of plenty of reasons as to why he might not like her. For one, she couldn't be kissed. Well, she could, but she hadn't learned to control it yet. She had almost been offended when he asked to kiss her earlier, wondering why he wanted to potentially feed her to bears. Unfortunately, the affection connotations were not fastened securely to the action, and she felt a bit bad that she couldn't give him that small thing. Two, she had compiled a rather large list of her flaws, and could probably recite half the list on the spot. Of course, she really didn't want to scare him off so suddenly after confessing his feelings, and she decided to keep that list to herself. If they got married, he for sure couldn't run so easily. She could give him the list then.

Squinting up at the dark clouds rolling in, she reasoned that it was either a late snowstorm or an early rainstorm. Either one was sorely unwelcome at the moment, but at least they had gotten good time in on the date. "Eat? Um, anything would be good right now. What do you want to get?" Feeling a drop of something on her arm, she peered up at the sky before wiping it and showing Hadrian. "Okay, that's the signal, time to go." A little worried at her map, Ania didn't really think that the cartoony dotted lines were all that accurate of a representation. According to the map, they were about two dashed lines away from the nearest cafe. "Oh, there!" Pointing eagerly at a stripey little building, Ania made a dash for the overhang. She didn't enter immediately, but instead was transfixed by an incredibly lifelike zebra statue. Tentatively petting its rump, she admired the craftmanship that must have went into this thing. "It's so pretty."
