I-I mean, even I'VE gotta buck up and learn a thing or two at some point, right?
[ If Ragna was pitted against himself before coming to the Golden Peacock, he'd be getting lambasted for letting himself get as soft as he did. He was angrier back then, fuelled and hyperfixated on his mission to crush Terumi and dismantle every Cauldron that he could find. Be the destroyer that was thrust upon him, and see it through as a human being until the very end. But it was that very same human being who was shown another life. Another chance. One that he could reach if he fought harder than before. One that he wanted to see the end of when he finished his business on his own planet.
For once...maybe it was okay to be a little more selfish. A certain someone on the other side of the wall taught him well enough. He wonders if she's still writing anything down...or if he should have been doing the same thing. Because while this was impromptu? This...really was starting to feel like something that should have been a reality.
And then she calls his name, drawing his gaze as his head lifts up to her. ]
Yeah, Weiss?
[ ... .... ..... She wasn't saying anything. That's quite the pregnant pause on her part, that his expression ebbs back into flecks of concern. Enough that it bleeds into his voice when he calls out again. ]
Weiss? [ Not even "Angel", this time. Yet when she finally speaks from her heart, he...actually feels his lift all the more. As if his own feelings and answer was always so simple when it came to her. But instead of calling her out on it, or telling her how she was worrying over nothing, or overstepping boundaries, ] Of course we can do that.
[ He takes that proverbial step forward for them. Resolute. There's a newfound brightness that brims in his voice. A smile to be found. ]
I'm gonna spend everything on you. Because I know you're gonna do the same thing for me.
We're not just gonna have a date like that, but we're gonna upstage it somehow.
[ It doesn't even have to be anything over the top or super extravagant! It can be something as simple as following this outline they've talked over now, only to put an even sweeter cherry on top. Stop on the way back to their suite and sit on a bench in the Conservatory. Keep talking about anything and everything until one of them finally started getting sleepy...all the more reason to carry her home if it winds up being her. ]
