Yes! Well - there are a lot of things I don't know anything about, so it makes sense to choose knowledge, right? And then I want to know more about romance, in specific, so I made that my primary!
...Romance, huh. Do you think there are actually things we can learn about romance in a scenario like this? Maybe if it was something like Beauty, or Dancing...
[Maki gets kind of a distant expression on her face]
Come to think of it, I apparently used to do stuff like this, when I was younger. Play house with a friend of mine and the younger kids at the orphanage. Me as the dad, and her as the mom.

... Beauty is important too, isn't it... maybe I should've chosen that...?

Even if you don't learn anything new, if it's something you like doing then that's fine too, right?
Re: Start - Living Room
[a pause for a few beats, before]
...Sure. Let's try it. I can do Romance and Athleticism and be the strong husband, and you can be my smart wife.
Re: Start - Living Room
- Okay! That sounds nice!
Re: Start - Living Room
[puts her choices in]
Should we do something romantic, then?

Re: Start - Living Room
[She looks around, and eventually picks up the big teddy bear]
Here, dear. I won this for you today. Let's sit by the fireplace for while.
Re: Start - Living Room
it's familiar enough of a situation that she isn't quite shocked or flustered by it, but. it is also a thing she loves so nonetheless, she - ]
- Okay!!!!!!!!!
[ is just sort of blurted out as she reaches for the bear with both hands, excited ]
Re: Start - Living Room
[Maki's cheeks are a bit pink, but she keeps a straight face as she touches Aradia's elbow to steer her towards the fireplace.]
Re: Start - Living Room
[ a pause, as she lets herself be led on over to the fireplace ]
- Dear. It's wonderful, I love it. Well...
... I wonder what I should do for you...?
Re: Start - Living Room
Just spending time with you is plenty.
Re: Start - Living Room
[ settling down nearby, cuddling closer, but stopping just short of actually reaching for her, glancing up first - as if asking for permission ]
But you're always working really hard - maybe I should try to come up with a reward ♥
Re: Start - Living Room
Well, I'm sure anything you came up with would be great.
Re: Start - Living Room
[ settling in against her, comfortable, ]
Well, I'm always patting your head, and we always kiss, too, so ...
[ and pulling away, after a bit more thought, sitting herself up straight and patting at her lap ]
Why don't you put your head down?
Re: Start - Living Room
[She shifts to the side so she can lie down and gently set her head in her lap.]
Re: Start - Living Room
it's very soft. ]
Since you're always working hard, why don't you take the day off?
Re: Start - Living Room
[she lets her eyes close]
That sounds nice.
