Yes -- Look out! [ Because someone's bag is swinging in the direction of her head! Kija grabs hold of her neck, pulling her down and forcing her to duck. Unfortunately, this means pressing her down closer against him, their faces only inches apart.
OKAY, THIS IS KIND OF AWKWARD. When he realises just how close they are, he starts to go beet red, freezing in place. ]
[She still hasn't noticed how close they are, nose to nose, because of how everything was just happening around them. And thinking about it, she should've noticed it sooner, instead of whispering so close to him like--]
N-no, it is not your fault!
[...and then he flushes and she realises why.] I-I mean, this really isn't your fault!!
[ Even though this isn't his fault, he can't help but get flustered anyway, his heart pounding in that chest of his. Quickly, he looks away, his face still heating up from the proximity. ]
We ...We should focus on getting out of here. [ Kija motions to get up, offering his scaly hand for her to take if she needs some help. ]
[Now she's catching on, she's very embarrassed, doing the same and gazing away. He's a good man, isn't he? She could think of a few who would take advantage of this, and he just flusters, helping her up.
She takes the offer so that she can have some support getting up.]
L-Let's...if we find another place a little quieter, we can get you something...
Ah, I do not need anything, but ... that would be best. [ He hasn't broken their handhold, given that he has to lead her out of the crowd, but he's still finding it quite difficult to reestablish eye contact. Kija only tugs at their joined hands, moving out of the crowd.
there's an interesting store a little further down that's selling hero merchandise???? it's worth looking at even if they don't buy anything. ]
[She's determined, since he bought something for her? So she follows him, hand firmly linked, so that they will stay together. But seeing how that hero store caught their eye, she follows him there. They could window shop...]
