Are ya doin' it together?
Is it somethin' you both enjoy?
Then yeah it is. Anything can be a date as long as you're enjoyin' each other's company.

[flamekthunder]

Is it really that simple? Just so long as we enjoy it?

I thought there was supposed to be something more...significant when it comes to dates.

[At least that's the impression he got whenever he heard the girls talking about their ideal whatevers before he tuned it out or just flat out left.]

[stupidmammon]

I mean there's always gonna be people who think differently. Some people are more materialistic than others. But it sounds like the person your with ain't like that. Trust me, you'd know if they were.

So just focus on doin' things together that you think'll make you both happy.

[flamekthunder]

What you say does make sense, and it aligns more with my philosophies as well.

That leaves a different question. What can be done in this world? Given that it's a still developing town, there aren't a lot of places that seem suitable, even for a stereotypical date.

[It's not like they have to, but having options does help at least. Even if he was feeling fancy to take her out for a nice dinner the options are a little...]

[stupidmammon]

Hell if I know. I mean lookin' at the stars together could be romantic and junk, but with the moon ya know... might not have the same affect.

[flamekthunder]

[....Stars...]

No, but it does give me an idea.

[stupidmammon]

See? Ya just gotta think outside the box. Man I'm good at this.

[flamekthunder]

Are you always giving out advice?

[stupidmammon]

All the time, though no one ever listens. [ Not even himself. ]

[flamekthunder]

...This isn't helping with your credibility.

[Though. He can't deny that what's he said so far seems fairly legit??? He can't see anything wrong with it, anyway...]

Why don't they?

[stupidmammon]

I dunno if you have any siblings, but younger siblings are a pain in the ass and never wanna listen to the older siblings.

[flamekthunder]

[...Ah.]

Maybe if they respected you more.

[stupidmammon]

Ouch. What a critical hit.

[flamekthunder]

Take it from experience.

But if it's any condolences, I'll be taking your advice. I don't see anything wrong with it, at least. And if something goes wrong, I'll know who to blame.

[stupidmammon]

If anything goes wrong you only have yourself to blame. I ain't the one on the date, you are.

[flamekthunder]

[Hah. That actually gets a small grin out of him.]

True.

[stupidmammon]

So don't screw it up with your date, yeah?

[flamekthunder]

I may have said it in jest, but it's likely impossible. At least, not enough to ruin it.

[Confident? Adequately so. But he'll allow for unforeseen disturbances and any mistakes on his part.

Otherwise he is totally perfect and can do everything well when he puts his mind to it—]

[stupidmammon]

Aren't you, Mr. Confident. Enjoy your date then~
