She might have but teasing trolls would twist and tease that wording so easily. Rean closer his eyes with a soft chuckle before nodding imply.

"Yes it's fine. Leave it to me then~"

Lucky for them, those teasing trolls weren't spying on them right now. Although to be fair it's not like Alisa hasn't.. thought about it before. Ahem. She beams, "Thanks, Rean. Don't force yourself, okay?" She didn't want him to stuff himself just to make her happy. "IF you start to get full, we can take some of it home." She doesn't even miss a beat as she reached forward for her drink, not even thinking about how it sounded. Home. As if she and Rean were living together.

Oh wait, THERE it hits her, just as she's taking her sip, and she coughs hard for a second.

Too late to take it back now! That being said Rean does nod in agreement to her asking him to stop whenever he reaches his limit. "Oh that's definitely an idea." Rean did tilt his head curiosuly at the suddeny cough from Alisa.

"Uh are you okay Alisa?"

She think should be relieved he didn't catch on -- or maybe it was just so natural to him, he didn't find anything strange about the statement. "Y-yeah," she coughed lightly, "Haha, it just went down the wrong way." She coughed a few more times, and sighed softly, "I think I drank it a little too fast."

He wasn't really convinced but he certainly was not about to start pushing the matter with Alisa.

"Well just take it easily and slowly. We're not in a rush with things." Rean answered before starting tto eat again, making slow methodical progress until his stomach reached its limit.

One could take that in terms of their relationship as well. Alisa picked up a napkin to gently dab at her lips, nodding sheepishly, "I'll be careful." She chuckled softly.

Though seeing that they were starting into almost finishing their meal, and Alisa doing more watching than eating, the waiter wandered over in their direction again, "Can I get you anything else?"

Alisa jumped a bit. "Oh! S-sorry, um...! Yes, actually. I was thinking about the ice cream. Do you have the pistachio chocolate chip still?"

The waiter nodded, "We also have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, butterscotch and double fudge ice cream." He glanced at Rean as Alisa was suddenly struck with indecision, "How about you? Would you like to order dessert also?"

Rean let Alisa order first before nodding and answering as well for himsel.

"Actually would like a mix of Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream myself if that's possible." Mixing the flavors up was the best option he felt.

The waiter nodded, jotting something down on his pad, "Would you prefer it in a bowl or a cone?"

"Cone for me, please." Alisa paused, realizing Rean might have wanted to have a bowl, and she leaned over, "Sorry, I thought it might be nice to walk around the city a little before we go back." And it'd be easier to do with cones.

"Oh no Cones is fine for me as well." The idea of walking around with Alisa while they enjoyed their deserts made perfect sense really. SO he had absolutely no problem with agreeing to that right now.

Alisa sighed with obvious relief, smiling broadly as she turned to the waiter, nodding. "So One mixed vanilla and chocolate cone, and one double-f-nono, one pist... um.." HRM. "No... Yes, okay, yes, a pistacio ice cream cone with chocolate chips."

The waiter watched her struggle with her response in amusement, and when she finally decided, nodded, turning away to pad over to fetch said snacks. Alisa on the other hand, started to reach for her purse to take out the money.

"Oh no you don't. This is on me." Rean quickly put his hand over Alisa's before taking out his own wallet and taking out the necessary Mira plus the tip to pay for the whole meal and the dessert.

Alisa gave Rean a surprised glance, "Wha-- but you're supposed to be my guest, Rean.." Not that she's going to argue really. "Are you sure...?" She asked, a little hesitantly as the waiter approached with their ice creams and the bill. Whoah, tip - he's definitely going to remember Rean, even if the cuteness between him and Alisa wasn't enough.

Rean just shook his head and quickly took the bill and paid for the entire meal. "I insist. It wouldn't feel right if I didn't do at least this much for our date." Yes he said that out loud right there in front of the waiter.

Hearing him say it out loud in front of another person filled Alisa with so many butterflies of glee she couldn't even begin to count them. The waiter on the other hand, looked surprised - he hadn't heard that the heiress to the Reinford Company had a boyfriend. INTERESTING. "A date huh? How about a picture to commemorate the occasion?" He suggested, "Free of charge." Because they're already making a profit selling the other photos to Sharon.

Alisa blushed again, "W-well, I don't mind.." She glanced at Rean curiously.

Rean felt wary for a moment but catching that glance from Alisa settled those feelings on the spot and he nodded with a smile.

"Well since you are offering we would be happy to take you up on that offer."

Alisa's face lit up happily at that, while the waiter nodded, going to get the orbal camera, "Just one second." He spoke briefly with the bartender, then returned to gesture them into a spot that would be a good area for the picture, "Okay, now just scootch in a little and smile~.."

Alisa did one better. She sneaked an arm around Rean's waist, timing her move perfectly as she went up on tiptoe to kiss Rean's cheek~! Perfect shot!

Oh god she was glowing like the sun right there next to him and Rean felt his stomach go all aflutter at the sight of it. Though even if it hadn't it would have ended up the same the moment he felt those lips on his cheek and that arm around his waist. Which left Rean in a wide eyed surprise as he faced the camera. IT made for one adorably cute photo indeed!

"Perfect shot," the waiter grinned.

Alisa smiled happily, and a little smug at Rean's reaction as she hugged him, "Can I get two copies, please?" She wanted to frame them before Rean left back to his mission. As a surprise, of course.

The waiter nodded cheerfully, clearly antsy to share gossip with the woman behind the bar. "I'll have the pictures developed and delivered to your place first thing in the morning."

"Thank you." Alisa smiled, glancing to Rean again, "Come on, let's get going." She of course, had to get her ice cream first though.

He wanted to touch his cheek after the kiss since it felt so very warm after the passing brush from Alisa's lips. But he managed to still nod to her words and follow Alisa out, cone of ice cream in both their hands.

"This is ummm quite the icecream~"

"You got the vanilla and chocolate one, right?" Alisa started to slip her arm around his, but realized that'd make it difficult for him to eat his own ice cream. So she settled for letting her arm rest arond him instead, still smiling at the memory of his face when she surprised him, "This one is really good too."

"Oh really? How about a quick trade taste then~" He said holding out the vanilla scoop to her while leaning over towards her own icecream as well. It was HIS turn to surprise her this time.

And Alisa was definitely caught by surprise. Though fair was fair, she did suggest sharing their dinner so why not dessert right? Although with ice cream it was a little..different. Or maybe she was overthinking it. "Ah -s ure, yeah!" She answered hastily, reaching over for said scoop and trying - and failing - not to think about the obvious.

Fortunately the slightly cool temperature in the night air was keeping their ice creams from getting too melty - but it wasn't doing a whole lot for cooling down her blushing cheeks any as she watched him.

Oh she wasn't the only one not thinking of the implications of what he was about to do. And that didn't change even as she allowed him to take a small bite from her cone with a hum.

"Mmmm that's actually pretty good. Here now for you." He said holding out his cone. Fair was fair after all.

Alisa almost chickened out of the deal, but she was a big strong girl, she could do it! So she leaned forward a little, but instead of taking a small bite of the cone, she unconsciously licked a bit off the cone, "Mmh... that is good too! It's the perfect balance of vanilla and chocolate." ...wait she just licked his cone. ERM. She coughs a little, "T.. Thanks." Is it hot out here or is it just hot out here?

Awww not a bite but a lick? Then again that was...endearingly cute and Rean had to contain his own reaction at the sight of it which in turn meant his face alone turned a lovely shade of red to match Alisa's.

"Y-Yeah it's nothing really. If you like it we can get it in a bowl next time and just...have it between us." Okay now he was rambling.
