[ HOMRA is just full of portable heaters. Yata wraps his hands around the mug and keeps his focus steady, holding it back to her once steam begins to drift up from the drink. ]
Yes, but—hey! [ She turns her head away from Yata, then touches the same spot to check if there was something there. ] Tell me if there's something on my face first!
[ But her expression soon turns into a look of horror once she realizes there's something missing... ]
Ah, I forgot to put my makeup on! [ yeah this is a Big Deal now. She buries her face in her hands and this time, she turns even her back towards him. ] Don't look at me!
[ She lifts her head from her hands to look at him for a few seconds, then hides again. This time, it's not out of shame. She wouldn't be peeking through the gaps between her fingers otherwise. ]
Thank you.
[ It's like she has this huge, elaborate plan to consistently embarrass Yata today, but that isn't the case. They're both just embarrassing enough as it is... ]
[ Boyfriend. It felt kind of weird hearing it out loud, but it was the sort of weird that made his heart flutter, as cheesy as it was. ]
Oh... yeah, I guess that makes sense. [ Because they didn't have street thugs in the Kou Empire, right? Not because he didn't actually meet her standards?
In a mix of embarrassment and self-consciousness, his shoes become very interesting to stare at. ]
[ It's because of that and he's not tall, dark and handsome
but like hell she'd say it out loud! She copies Yata instead and looks at her mug. ]
But things like that do not matter anymore. You have a nice face, anyway. [ That was difficult to admit. She dips her head to hide a smile as she takes a sip of her drink. ]
[ They can count the number of times he's called her a variation of pretty today for evidence. Or! ]
Well, I used my charm and wit to get a pack of playing cards the other day. [ More like someone took pity on her for lurking around the shops and gave her something to send her off. ] Do you know how to play?

Don't burn your tongue, bunnygirl.

I'm not a bunny! [ Kougyoku can tell he's teasing. He can hear it in her tone. ] Thank you.
[ She takes the mug back and sips her drink carefully. It was hot, but just the right temperature that wouldn't burn her tongue. ]
It's good! [ But now she has a chocolate milk mustache. ] Having a power like yours is so convenient...
no subject
Yours is too. If we'd been stuck in a desert, that'd be way more useful!
[ Ah, he reaches over and suddenly starts touching her face/mouth-- he's a graceful gazelle wiping that milk mustache off. ]

... You wear makeup? [ HE'S SO OBSERVANT. ] I've been looking at you all day, you look fine!

She's trembling a little. Yata, you don't understand. ]
But Ka Koubun said, this sort of plain face... it won't do.

Why not? You're-- I mean, from since we met... I think you lookthemostbeautifultoday.

Yata's pretty sure she'd kick his ass.
Also he's too busy covering his face with his hands now. He mumbles, ] Don't say stuff like that... [ It makes him blush! ]

[ He probably did, he just couldn't really think straight after everything that had happened today. ]
...A-anyway, did you have something else you wanted to do?
