And not really actively looking, huh. Otherwise there's a ton of cute girls here in the Far Shore that would've caught your eye by now. [Dance around, careful. She's not going to make her old mistakes, but she's very determined not to make any new ones either...]

Huh?

[ Goku's startled out of reminiscing and stares straight ahead for a second. Okay, he's fine again now. ]

... Well sure, there's tons of beautiful people around here! [ He's not sure what "actively looking" means but he's not blind. ] Like you, Nia!

[Nrk!]

Oh come off it! We both know there're lots of cuter ones here than me! [Seriously, most everyone here is taller and prettier and has a way better body than she does. Let's not pretend otherwise!] You're telling me you wouldn't want to date any of them?!

I don't think there's lots of cuter people than you here... No one else has ears like yours. And your hair is all shiny and pretty. Besides, Nia, you're really strong as well! That's really- [ Hmm, maybe not pretty but strong is still... ] Well, I like it.

[ Anyway, the point is the same. Nia's really cute and really beautiful. Goku has decided. ]

I can't think of anyone else I'd wanna date more than you.

[ He doesn't even mean to say these things... ]

[He can't hear her growing more and more red! But he sure can hear the thump when she tosses the phone onto her bed with more violence than it deserves! And distant accented snarling that becomes clearer as she scoops the phone up again.]

Then why DON'T you, you bloody idiot!?

[ Wow, Nia sounds angry. It's such a mystery as to why. Maybe someone at Shizuo's temple pissed her off. ]

Wha- why don't I do what? Nia, what're you talkin' about?

Why don't you ask me out then!

[He isn't wrong. Nia is technically someone at Shizuo's temple.]

I didn't know I was supposed to!

[ What's happening he's confused why is she yelling at him? ]

You want me to ask ya out?!

Well it sure would have solved a lot of my problems if you had. Here I am wondering how to ask you out and get it through that meat-bun-filled head of yours that I meant it and it turns out you were all for it?

If you're not going to ask me, I'm going to ask you. You want to go out on a date?

Why didn't ya just ask me?

[ IT REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT EASY Hakkai knows Goku better than anyone else in this world, please take his advice. As it is, Goku is still confused and not sure how they got here. He doesn't think he's complaining, but he's still confused.]

I guess so, yeah? [ So confused. ] ... Can we get meat buns? [ Since Nia brought them up. ]

[THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHAT SHE'S AFRAID OF]

...you know, when a girl asks you out, it makes the girl feel a lot better if you're really happy the girl asked you out, not that you have a chance at meat buns. Just -- to let you know, okay?

You started shoutin' at me and it was confusin'!

[ Also he still doesn't really. Get dating. He and Nia hang out and get food all the time already, so what's new? What do you do with a girl you're dating? ]

It's not like we weren't already doing stuff, so... Does this mean I get to kiss you now though?

[ That might be kind of exciting. ]

[See! See! He doesn't get dating, right there! THIS IS WHAT SHE WAS AFRAID OF!]

D-did you want to?!

[Goku might be able to see the red glow from Nia's cheeks from where he is.]

[ There's a red light off in the distance... ]

... I mean, kinda. But I wasn't gonna just try anythin'.

[ He's not a gross pervert. He was raised to be a gentleman, or something, kind of, not really. ]

Well.... I... I wouldn't be opposed to trying it...

[He's the opposite of a pervert for sure. That's almost a bad thing, he seems so innocent sometimes... ]

[ Don't worry, Nia, he's a fast learner.

For now though, he's kind of just dying of embarrassment here. ]

... So you wanna go get meat buns or somethin'? [ Slightly strangled tone of voice Nia, have pity on him. ]

[That makes two of them.]

Always meat buns with you.

[But she says that so fondly.]

Yeah. Sure, let's do it.

[ Meat buns are great but he would also accept hiding his head under a pillow for ten minutes at this point. He's not used to being this flustered. He hasn't had a lot of practice. ]

Right! Yeah. Let's... let's go...

[ Meat buns and kisses someone help ]

Where... are we gonna meet?

[He's the god, so he can teleport, but he's Goku, so maybe she should go over there instead...]

[ How do dates work. He doesn't know how dates work. Should he... pick her up? Should he meet her somewhere? Why did none of the role models in his life ever think to prepare him for this moment? ]

We could... meet up over here? At the shrine, I mean. [ That'll give him time to ask Gojyo for advice. Ugh, no he's being dumb. It's just Nia! ] Then we can go to the other place together!

Sure, that'd work. Sounds like a plan. I'll head on over.

[Maybe she'll have her composure back after a little walk!]
