@Moon Wolf - would you like Lyra and Eri to go on another date? No pressure, it's entirely fine if you don't want to, but I was thinking it had been a while :)

-Eri smiles. "|We should. It would be amazing. Which movie would you want to see?|"-
-"Hmm, I don't know. Do you want to see one we've never seen before? Or one we have seen?" I ask.-

|"-Hmm, I don't know,-" Lyra says. "-Do you want to see one we've never seen before? Or one we have seen?-"|
|"Either one would be nice," I say, considering. "Maybe we could see a completely new one. What sorts of movies do you like, in general?" I know that it wouldn't really matter what movie we were watching; it would be so wonderful to watch any movie together. Maybe we can find a movie theater somewhere and spend the rest of the afternoon there, or maybe I can invite Lyra out to one later. Strange, how easily ideas can simply transform into reality - especially, I suspect, when they have to do with Lyra.|

-"|Either one would be nice. Maybe we could see a completely new one. What sorts of movies do you like, in general?|"-
-"I suppose I like adventure and fantasy movies," I reply, smiling. Not that it matters, as long as I'm watching it with Eri. "What about you?"-
(May 12, 2024 - 11:06 pm)
|"-I suppose I like adventure and fantasy movies,-" Lyra replies with a smile. "-What about you?-"|
|"Adventure and fantasy sounds very appealing," I answer, unable to keep from smiling in response. "I love those movies. If we were to watch a new one together, which one would you want?"|

-"|Adventure and fantasy sounds very appealing,|" Eri says, smiling back. "|I love those movies. If we were to watch a new one together, which one would you want?|"-
-"I don't know," I replied. "Any is fine, I suppose." Anything with Eri. "What about you?"-

|"-I don't know,-" Lyra replies. "-Any is fine, I suppose. What about you?-"|
|"Whatever good movie we can find," I say, watching her as the cherry tree we're passing under shakes down a shower of white petals on her. I can hardly believe how beautiful she is. "I think they're planning on a Freaky Friday 2, so maybe we could watch that when it comes out. It doesn't really matter, though, does it?"|

-"|Whatever good movie we can find,|" he says, watching me as we pass under a cherry tree, and a shower of white petals float down on us. I smile, thinking how unbelievably nice it is to be with Eri. "|I think they're planning on a Freaky Friday 2, so maybe we could watch that when it comes out. It doesn't really matter, though, does it?|"-
-"That would be cool to watch," I say. "But, like you said, it doesn't matter. As long as we're watching it together." I smile and add, "Though maybe not horror. I'm not quite into it."-
(May 16, 2024 - 7:32 pm)
|"-That would be cool to watch,-" Lyra agrees. "-But, like you said, it doesn't matter. As long as we're watching it together. Though maybe not horror,-" she adds. "-I'm not quite into it.-"|
|"That's fine by me," I say, smiling. "Horror isn't exactly my thing either. But anything else. As long as we're watching it together, as you said. And maybe as long as we have popcorn?" I raise my eyebrows at her, laughing.|
(May 18, 2024 - 4:06 pm)
-"|That's fine by me. Horror isn't exactly my thing either. But anything else. As long as we're watching it together, as you said. And maybe as long as we have popcorn?|" he raises his eyebrows at me, laughing.-
-"Ah, yes, the all important popcorn," I say, nodding seriously. "Cannot do without. What kind of popcorn do you prefer?"-
(May 20, 2024 - 4:16 pm)
|"-Ah, yes, the all important popcorn,-" Lyra says seriously. "-Cannot do without. What kind of popcorn do you prefer?-"|
|"I'm not sure if I have one favorite," I reply, considering the grave matter at hand. "Anything that tastes good. Buttered popcorn isn't usually my first pick, though - I prefer it more... plain? I think it's especially nice if it's popped in olive oil." I brush a strand of her hair back, tilting my head to lightly touch hers. "What about you?"|

I think it's especially nice if it's popped in olive oil.|" He brushes a strand of my hair back, tilting his head lightly.to touch mine.. "|What about you?|"-
-"I suppose I'm fine with any flavor," I reply. "Maybe caramel? But any flavor, honestly. Do you have another favorite movie snack?"-
(May 23, 2024 - 10:57 am)
|"-I suppose I'm fine with any flavor,-" Lyra says. "-Maybe caramel? But any flavor, honestly. Do you have another favorite movie snack?-"|
|"I'm not sure if snacks exactly," I say. "But I'm firm in my belief that movies are better if you eat pizza while you're watching them. What about you?"|
(May 26, 2024 - 11:44 am)
-"|I'm not sure if snacks exactly,|" says Eri. "|But I'm firm in my belief that movies are better if you eat pizza while you're watching them. What about you?|"-
-"I might say just popcorn, honestly," I reply with a smile. "Pizza is great though! Favorite kind?"-
(May 26, 2024 - 5:51 pm)
|"-I might say just popcorn, honestly,-" Lyra says, smiling the way only she can. "-Pizza is great though! Favorite kind?-"|
|"I can never make up my mind between Italian and American-style," I confess, smiling back. "For toppings, though, I like salami. And sometimes tomato, and always basil. Pretty basic. You?"|
(May 29, 2024 - 7:40 pm)
-"|I can never make up my mind between Italian and American-style,|" he confesses, smiling back with the best of smiles. "|For toppings, though, I like salami. And sometimes tomato, and always basil. Pretty basic. You?|"-
-"I'd have to say pineapple, and maybe chicken as well," I reply. "Honestly, though, I enjoy any kind of pizza topping. What kind of crust do you prefer?"-
