Showing a Fun Time (for Devilish53)

[Dubski]

Toshiko's mussing with her hands stopped when Viviana had taken one of them and began to walk out of the arcade with her. Timidly, she would glance at her newfound friend every so often but otherwise kept her head down, not sure what to say at this point. And then, much to Ito's surprise, Viv had hooked their arms, making the Japanese girl look over at Accera with a bit of surprise.

Everything her friend was doing was indicative that she wasn't upset, and more just trying to take care of her. Staring at Viviana, her eyes drifted away for a moment before she replied. "I do not, know... Just a few blocks away," answered Toshiko, glancing in the direction she would need to head. She was nervous, still, and she didn't quite understand the implication of Viviana's question, prepared for them to go their separate ways now.

[Devilish53]

Viviana hugged that arm tightly, but did not say much herself. The scenario was awkward even for her, never mind a timid individual, and not one she was familiar with. At the same time she did still not want Toshiko to feel disheartened or otherwise, as she held on tightly whilst taking the lead in a pace she soon set. Effectively snuggling up to her friend as she looked forward, the two muscular women heading in the direction that Toshiko had nodded.

Toshiko Ito continued to uncomfortably walk with Viviana as she walked with her down the street. Biting her lip, she kept a pace and glanced over at her Italian friend multiple times, feeling like she should say something but resisting. She didn't want to say the wrong thing now.

And then she felt Viviana snuggled with her and a shiver went up her spine and she paused just before crossing another street. Ito then looked at Accera and stared at her. Then, in a quiet voice, she spoke up and said, "I don't... know what you are thinking right now." She would watch her, worried, and then ask, shaking gently. "Can you please tell me...?"

[Devilish53]

Viviana didn't really want to talk about what happened, for a number of reasons. The greatest of all said reasons, was rather a simple one.

She had no idea what to say.

Combined with the fact that little good was said when one was under the influence, and a little from her belief that there wasn't really much to talk about, Viviana merely pulled on that arm a little more to snug Toshiko closer as they paced.

"I am thinking it's rather cold!" She'd try to joke, rubbing down Toshiko's arm, as if to try and speed things along to a warmer environment.

Toshiko continued to watch Viviana, chewing on her lip for a few moments as she spoke her answer--a desire to get warm. And her rubbing her arm that made the well-toned Japanese performer blush before she averted her gaze. "...Yes. We will get warm then," answered Ito uncomfortably before starting across the street at a quickened pace, seemingly willing to drag Viviana with her if she wasn't going to keep up.

And then, after another minute, Toshiko stopped in front of a small series of apartments and she looked at her friend and then slithered her arm from Viviana's grasp. "We are here," she stated bluntly. And then, a shy look on her face, she added, "...Did you wish to come in to warm up?" She looked down timidly, feeling like she should offer it to Accera. If only so she could test her reaction to try and understood where she stood now.

[Devilish53]

Whilst the allure of a warm room did tempt Viviana, the Italian gave a smile and shake of her head back.

"It is very late Toshiko..." She'd mutter in quite a stale tone, as her own nervousness over this farewell rose. "I live quite far you see...I'll have to get a cab..."

Forcing a smile on her face, she'd lean in to try and offer her friend a farewell hug, given it was about the only thing she could think to do.

[Dubski]

Toshiko continued to examine Viviana's reaction as she spoke. A grown crept on her face as she heard her decline the invitation. She looked uncomfortable, trying her best to smile despite the situation.

And then when Accera went for a hug, the Japanese girl decided she had enough. Letting her true personality through a bit, she put a hand up to Viviana's chest, blocking her from the hug as her brow knit. "Viviana Accera, you will tell me what you are thinking and what you are feeling," she said in a more straight-forward tone. She couldn't end their night not knowing where she stood with Viviana, and she was going to get her answer.

[Devilish53]

Viviana felt a little dismayed as she felt a hand to her torso, perhaps at first believing that Toshiko had decided their friendship was not worth the trouble after all. With a sad look to her face, it would turn to surprise as Toshiko laid out the gauntlet, and forced Viviana to answer. Turning and running now would have utterly broken what was a newfound friendship, and something Viviana simply couldn't adhere to. She knew she had to answer, and after a long pause.

"I...liked it." She'd hum, touching her lip as those nervous words came out, amidst her eyes falling from Toshiko to the floor. "But nothing good ever comes of...ya know...drunken stuff..."

Viviana opted to verbalise her stance on the current occurrings, given that anything done or said now could simply be put by the other as 'something they said only when drunk.' Viviana knew that when she was sober, she would have still enjoyed the kiss. Naturally though, she didn't want to stand on something that in the morning, Toshiko would regret.

[Dubski]

Toshiko maintained her hardened expression as Viviana mulled over her answer, seemingly hesitant. But Ito couldn't leave with the stress of not knowing where they stood on this. And so she stared until she heard Accera's answer, and her expression immediately softened.

The answer was the one she had hoped for, but not the one the Japanese girl expected. She felt her heart swell as she moved her hand back and put a hand on her own chest. And then she said softly, "...Thank you."

She looked timidly, but still smiled at Viviana. "I liked it too," she added. Barely remembering to breath, Toshiko continued to watch her. "I... would not mind kissing again, at some point." Ito's cheeks colored, her eyes drifting to the ground between them.
