Winter Carnival | All Day | The Park | January 31 [Post #1]

It was a new day and there was no better way to start a new day than with the continuation of the carnival. There was still snow coating the ground but the atmosphere was as lively as ever. With cream-colored decorations and twinkling lights, the Student Council had aimed for a winter wonderland kind of theme, and the snow simply added to the effect. Thankfully, the day was turning out to be warmer, so those who were going to be outside all day wouldn't freeze. Once the finishing touches were done, the carnival was open for business.

"For the contraption itself," Nathan agreed. And that? That was absolutely a glint of mischief in his eye, there. "The point, I suppose, is for the people riding to make the thrills decidedly less cheap."

"I find any thrills with you, sir, are hardly cheap," Mina said, trying to take a tiny bit of a high road. "Gentleman or not, you are dignified to say the least."

Nathan never had been one to know what to do with a compliment, really.

"You would take that back in a heartbeat, if you'd seen me in my younger days," he decided.

Nathan, the proper response to that would have been 'thank you,' and then some appropriate flattery in turn. Silly man.

"I'm not sure why you insist on making this so difficult, sir," Mina said, harrumphing just a little. "I do believe we are not in the tunnel of refusing to accept anything good said about ourselves."

And here? Here would be where Nathan really should have smiled and relented and accepted the compliment that she'd given him, with an apology for being so difficult.

"You're beautiful," he blurted, instead.

Where was the fun in doing what he was supposed to do, right?

While Mina was really no one to judge about self image, she was, at least, going to let this one pass. For now.

"Thank you," she said, pleased at least for the compliment if not for the fact it was being used as a distraction. "Though I have to wonder how much you can see in the dark."

She could see just fine in the dark, admittedly.

Meanwhile, he was a samurai. And, while he might have spent several months in Japan learning how to pay closer attention to things with the senses that he did have, he was still only human.

"It isn't too dark in here," he decided, stubborn man that he was. "And unless you mysteriously change shape when all light flees the area, then I believe the compliment still stands."

"Perhaps you'll have to inspect for yourself," Mina said, a little bold. "But in a place far more private."

This was a falsely private area, for what Mina was concerned.

Her boldness was met with a smile, and possibly the lightest touch of redness to Nathan's cheeks as he worked out his reply.

"Perhaps I will," he agreed. "It seems like far too important a matter to leave to the whims of speculation, after all."

And he liked being proven right. Among other things.

"Then perhaps," Mina said, a smile on her own face. "We shall skip the ice cream and cut straight to the escorting me home."

"Ice cream is terribly overrated, isn't it?"

They had, it would seem, a plan.
