[Nora just shake shake shake shakes right back. At first she doesn't know or understand what's going on, but when Jaune mentions double dates, she shakes with more intensity and her face lights up. Although she was happy for Jaune and Pyrrha being able to hook up here, for a long time she had wished that Ren would be with her again and that they could maybe have a double JNPR date, yes. But now...]
Oh boy, double dates! I haven't told Pyrrha but I plan to! I-I just got busy with trying to find a new job and then Apple came along and I had to learn how to take good care of her and -
Where would we go? Oh, Nora-Nora... we could do all kinds of things, like, strawberry picking! Or a museum date, we can go horseback riding, take a pottery class, apple picking, cooking class, picnic, a night at the opera or the ballet, blueberry picking, which is a lot different from strawberry picking, drinks at the bar, coffee date, kite-flying, go to the beach-- I hear the season's just right for it, or-or we can go to a park, or see a play, OR A WATERPARK. Do they have waterparks here? What about spelunking? I wanna go spelunking. That's cave exploring, if you didn't know.
[ ...He's been thinking about this for a while, it seems. ]
What?! N-No, not one day! Are you-- hahahah, no, listen.
[ He sits back down next to her, one arm loosely around her as his hand rests on her shoulder. ]
I'm talking about one date, for one day. Our very first double date needs to be something memorable, something we'll tell our future grandchildren about. We can do all the other date ideas after, but our first one, it has to be special, do you understand? This date, it needs to be exquisite, it needs to be exceptional, it needs to be so many words in my vernacular, I don't even... okay-okay, don't worry, we'll figure it out!
[When he sits back down, Nora follows suit obediently, her hands resting on her lap.
After Jaune is done, Nora just stares at him (Grandchildren?? SERIOUSLY? She and Ren haven't even thought that far!), stunned. It's as if she's taking this time to slowly digest everything he just said.]
...Y-Yeah, leeeeeeet's stick to that first, then talk double dates after. I don't even know what to do for our date.
Oh, c'mon now, Ren's not that-- o-okay, yeah, so he might be a little serious... [ Gotta spin this in a positive way!!! ] Well, at least you know he's serious about you!
[ There we go. ]
Anyway, what I wanted to suggest was... since you're both entering a new stage in your relationship, your first date shouldn't be something you normally do anyway. Why not try something that neither of you have done before? Like...
[ ...getting drunk at a restaurant, then making out in the back of a coffee shop. Just kidding! Please don't Do The Arkos. ]
[Nice save, Jaune. It's such a good save that Nora snorts. Of course Ren is serious about her. She's known that for quite a bit, even though it was once outside the context of dating and romance.
No, they will do the Renora. Whatever the Renora could possibly be.]
I...dunno if Ren would be game for scuba diving on the first date. And we wouldn't be able to talk.
...Oh, well, there's telepathy but it's not quite the same.

Where would we even double date, Jaune?!

Well, okay, how about this. What do you and Ren normally like to do?

4/7/18 14:41 (UTC)At least they're going back to the date. Just the date. Single date.]
Hmmm...the usual? Train and spar, eat, maybe play some games, or more like I wanna play a game but Ren just wants to be serious...

But I think you should try something new anyway. It's big world out there, I know you'll figure it out.

14/7/18 14:31 (UTC)[She rests her forehead on Jaune's
big, beefyshoulder.]It's a lot of figuring out. And boy, our world isn't just big, it's a whole bunch of other worlds.
