"U-um...yeah, I understand," Naoki replied nervously, nodding his head.

"U-um...yeah, I understand," Naoki replied nervously, nodding his head.
Knowing that others were staring at her, Rogue slowly sat back down. Letting out a frustrated sigh, she put her head in her hands.
"This is so awkward..." she looked back up, "But, I'm not going to run away. We've already ordered, so let's stay, okay?"
"Well...alright, whatever you want," Naoki agreed.
A few moments passed and their orders arrived. Glad to take her mind off the awkwardness of their situation, Rogue turned her attention to her food.

After their plates had been taken away, Rogue slowly turned an extra fork between her fingers with a bored expression.
"... I can't think of anything to talk about," she finally said at last.
"Well...I'm curious," Naoki began, "What kind of experience do you want to get out of this journey? Do you know?"
"Something that I'll always remember, and maybe even a little life changing," Rogue said, putting the fork down.
"...I can agree with that," Naoki replied after a brief moment, "My primary intention was to see the rest of the region that I had yet to explore, but..."
"But what?" Rogue asked as she picked up the fork once more.
"Well, to be honest," Naoki replied, "I wouldn't mind finding someone to be with...."
"So a journey to see the region becomes a journey to find a girlfriend, eh?" Rogue smiled and hoped that Naoki wouldn't take the comment too seriously.
"W-well, sorta," Naoki replied, blushing a bit.
"And if you find a girl, what then? Will you travel with her?" Rogue asked.
"Well...yeah, at least until the end of my journey," Naoki said, "But after that, well...I don't know..."
Rogue couldn't help but to laugh, "Talking about romance in a place this... is the atmosphere getting to ya?" She leaned forward as she teased.
"M-maybe," Naoki replied nervously, blushing more deeply than before.
