A long pause.

"Aw, you like me?"

He paused for a moment, staring at the text conversation he'd been having with Stelle. Since meeting, they'd been talking on and off about several things. And then, out of the blue, this.
(text) I am left to wonder if you know what a 'date' is (text) Because I would wager I am far from someone you would enjoy such an event with
@dumpsterdivingdiva
"...where'd you go? I made cookies and no one's taken a single one." And Stelle was usually the first to try anything new Tomiko made.

They hadn't gotten much time to talk since Dan Heng showed up with Jing Yuan. So much was happening, and it all happened so quickly. But now, as they rested and waited to see the Stellaron dealt with, he found himself glancing her way. Stelle, on the other hand, had been staring at him the entire time.
"...okay. I'll bite. What do you have to say to me?"

Slowly holds up copies of Gepard's wanted posters.
"...I thought they were funny."
@dumpsterdivingdiva:
Upon returning to the Astral Express Stelle couldn't help but notice the peculiar look Dan Heng was giving her. She blinked as she returned the stare. She couldn't fathom the reason hence the rather confused question. "Is everything alright, Dan Heng?"
Dan Heng hadn't entirely been aware he'd been giving her any sort of expression. Perhaps it was because he'd lived so much of his life just. Not having expressions.
"Nothing," he finally said. "How was your night?"
@dumpsterdivingdiva
The downtime between stops was always quiet. At least it had been before Stelle joined the crew. As the Astral Express continued on its way after leaving Jarilo-VI, he'd noticed her coming to the archives more and more. Often she'd just sit in a corner and play a game.
There must have been more of his frustration leaking through than he thought, though, because this time, before she sat down, she approached him and hugged him.
"...what was that for?"
