A hand is placed firmly on his arm, gaze moving across the floor. An extremely poor attempt at gathering her thoughts at what she could possibly say to him. Especially because she, well, she was just really awful at admitting what she was thinking. And it’s not beneficial, it’s driving her mad, just to not say anything to him at all, but then, it’s a constant boring reminder in her own voice. She doesn’t want the chemistry to get all mixed up. For his feelings to not be genuine or, his own. When her focus finally lands on his face, she finds the shape of lower lashes hidden behind green tint. There’s a little relief given when he starts to talk. And she’s almost thankful that they’re both so good at simply avoiding topics altogether. “ Oh, ” Try not to sound too disappointed why don’t you? “ Oh, uhm, just, that they’re here, and I wanted to look into what new tech they had.. for you. “ A pause is given, and she quickly releases her hold on his shoulder. “ – In a professional sense. It would be good to have other options, or better retrieval systems in place for your blades.” Hair is carefully tucked behind her ear, and despite her momentary awkward release, her hand then takes his. Because she can’t stand to let him just keep stewing about what if ‘s so she’s going to quite literally have to drag him out of his own brain. Which is already difficult enough. “ I know this isn’t quite your scene, but… “ The gesture is given towards the area they’d traversed quite a ways into. Ignoring small talk attempts. Specifically just to offer him up to the weapon trials & obstacle courses. “ this might be. “
He can’t help but feel a little bit of guilt for potentially taking away something so important to her away like that, just because of his own anxiety surrounding the whole thing. Running off to go through an obstacle course sounds like a disservice to their date. The whole point of this was to spend time together at least.
Though he can’t help but be interested in going through the obstacle course and seeing how his current weapons compared with what they were working on. Though if he were to choose one or the other, he’d choose being with Holiday any day of the week.
Although...
“That’s okay. Unless you wanted to run it with me.” At least then the both of them could be a little bit out of their element, though in all honesty if anyone could beat him at one of these things, it would be her.
