Arms Hotel Lobby, Thursday [12/13]

When Ellie wasn't answering phones or taking care of other hotel business, she was studying for a physiology quiz. Gunther grumbled something about her slacking at work. She ignored him. Otherwise, she might have literally thrown her textbook at him for being annoying.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!

Well, she was picking up yet another distraction, in the form of a certain little brother.

"Ellie," he announced, stopping in front of the desk. "I have some news." Gunther would undoubtedly like him taking Ellie away from her real work even more than the studying.

"... Try not to die of shock," he added.

That was kind of an alarming greeting. Immediately, Ellie was worried. "Why? Is something wrong?"

"No!" Chuck clarified quickly, "No no." He shook his head.

"I have... a date. I think." They hadn't said it in so many words, but-- "Maybe?"

"You have a date?!" Ellie exclaimed in a tone of both excitement and slight disbelief. Very slight. "What? When did this happen? And with who?"

That last one was the most important question.

"Ariel... It's tomorrow."

"We didn't actually say the word date..." he admitted, gesturing for no apparent reason as he talked. "But when a girl you've kissed a couple times asks you out for pizza, that's probably a date, right?"

Ellie raised an eyebrow. "I would say that qualifies as a date, yeah. Um...it's very implied at least."

She couldn't help smiling. "Ariel is nice. I can see why you would like her."

That was Ellie's way of showing approval. Not that he needed it or anything.

Maybe he didn't need it, but it was appreciated, and his grin stretched a little further. Ellie's approval was always going to mean something to him.

"She is," he agreed. "Really nice." The girl threw him a birthday party, despite not really knowing him well, she humoured him building blanket forts, and liked Cheeto pizza.

Okay, the last one wasn't so much a testament for niceness, as it was for awesome. But whatever.

"Uh... but I've never done dates. Or even date. Singular." Which meant the chances of this actually going well? Slim to none.

"I know you're probably nervous about it," Ellie said gently. "But I really think it's okay for you to just be yourself. I mean, she asked you out, right? Seems to me she already likes you for you."

"Right... Right." There was that. "Was I supposed to ask her?" he wondered. "Or will even asking that get me beat up by feminists?" They wouldn't have that much of a fight on their hands, tall as he was.

"No, it's okay that she asked you out. Girls can do that, too," Ellie said, a reassuring smile on her face. "And if any militant feminist types bothers you about it, I'll beat them up for you."

Though it was just a lighthearted joke, it implied that she was always a little over protective.
