[ In Chr'tt's experience someone almost has to try to be outright bad at flirting, or at least to be that subtle with their flirting. It's very easy to be bad in the overbearing or awkward sense, but so far Lian hasn't crossed any lines here.
Though it does take quite a bit to manage to bother Chr'tt on this front too, admittedly.
He raises his own hand to his chin, pressing his thumb under it while he rests his index finger across it. It matches her comical inquisitive look well, as he frowns in mock concentration. ]
Pink hair? Well that shouldn't be too hard to spot at all. Who might I know that has pink hair...?
[ The act can only go for so long before it gets old, however, and if they're going to play this game they might as well move to the next stage of it. A smile curls slowly at the corner of Chr'tt's lips, and he drops his hand, holding it out towards her now. ]
I have a feeling the man you're looking for might be named Luuk Visser. And you would be...?
[ that's when lian just bursts out laughing, throwing her head back and, for once in her short life, giving up the charade. it's nice to meet someone who was willing to play along with this, at least.
she takes his hand to shake, cupping their joined hands with her other palm as she also bows her head in greeting. ] Lian Song, [ and she's grinning ear to ear when she's upright again, letting her hands linger before pulling them away to fold behind her back. ]
Thank you for helping me find what I was looking for!
That's a beautiful name. Very fitting for the person who owns it.
[ The level of cheese coming off of him as he shakes her hand back is something else. He'll even dip his head forward too in a small bow himself, though it's largely in response to her own actions.
For his part he makes the conscious effort to seem open and friendly, letting his hand rest back at his side as he cants his head just a little to the side, a relaxed smile on his face. ]
And what exactly can the aforementioned Luuk Visser do for you, Miss Song?
[ that just makes her lean back and laugh in delight, the sound akin to the tinkle of a bell. this is going well! not that lian ever had low expectations for the enounter, not when she had quickly weighed her options before opening the window to flirtation. ]
Would you let me ask you out, then?
[ may as well get down to it. it's her own perfect idea of a rom-com meet cute. no harm in finding some fun when she's in between work hours. and those moments are few and far between. ]
[ It's a skill that he's had some time to develop. Certainly longer than anyone on this planet, but he'll politely leave out that fact. Still, her question has him weighing his options carefully here.
Chr'tt isn't exactly here to end up in a serious relationship, and certainly not one that doesn't benefit him in the long term. He tends to avoid people looking for something serious, but he has a feeling that's not the case here. She might be staying long term, of course, but it does seem like she's passing through, which means nothing she starts up will be something she intends to last, and it's not as though he's averse to fun as he lies low himself.
So after just a few seconds of deliberation that almost look like it's just a pause for surprise at her forwardness, he answers. ]
I'd be honored by the invitation. Perhaps I could show you a few more of my favorite haunts around here sometime soon?
