The teasing jab earns a glare, though one devoid of any real malice. She’d let it slide, all things considered— even if he was an ass, Ruby seemed to be trying to do something sincerely nice for once. May was well give him a chance, right?
“…. ‘kay. ‘m alright with that.” She concedes with a small nod. “S’long as you’re not tryin’ anything sneaky here, it… sounds pretty nice, actually. Y’said you don’t mind where we go though? Cuz… I mean… if it’s up t’me… there’s a nice lil place in Oldale. Ain’t real big, kinda a mom’n pop deal so I wouldn’t be surprised if it ain’t your scene but… “
So he didn’t get any kind of punch or kick for that little remark of his. Ruby must have been really lucky today for that to have happened. Either way, at leats things were starting to go better than he thought they would be. He thought that Sapphire probably wouldn’t have wanted to actually do anything today; or just laugh at him for even trying to do anything like this so suddenly. She wasn’t exactly a girl that he could figure out 24/7.
“Oldale, huh?” Thinking on it for a moment, the male seemed to give a soft smile as a hand quickly took hers. “All right! Looks like we have our destination. Let’s go.” Suddenly he was leading her toward the next town over, seeming to want to enjoy the nice scenery from Littleroot to Oldale.
