Again, she wasn't sure how she felt about THAT - maybe a little disappointed.
"You think I'm pretty?" She asked, his apology completely sidelined for the moment. She couldn't help but smile, fidgeting with her hair again. "Anyway, the poetry was rather cute. Very.. interesting."
He felt worse and worse the more pink she got, thinking he must have thoroughly embarrassed her and she'd probably hate him now. Sure, he had not been the only person declaring love that evening but.. he hadn't noticed how embarrassing the others had been. IF they had even been.
But.. she didn't really sound upset with him when she spoke. Which was a relief. Her surprise at thinking she was pretty was surprising to him as well and he blinked a bit, before nodding.
"Yes, I do. You are. You have such a bright and cheerful personality, your energy tends to brighten a room when you come in." Had she not known that? Did she just say... the poetry was CUTE? The interesting part got a smile though, and he relaxed a little before chuckling.
"I guess that's one word for it. I like Chaucer's work but... it seemed a bit much. My cousin had a field day with that." The fact he'd used it when asking someone out.
Which... brought him to the next thing. And he felt even more awkward, scratching the back of his neck for a second.
"But uh... I was thinking, if you still... wanted to go have a picnic by the lake or something the two of us it... could be fun?" Unless she hated that idea. In which case it was terrible. The worst.
