-- how vivid her dreams could be. But then again, for a total heartthrob like herself, maybe that's exactly why he teases her so. Hopefully the mechanic's efforts will work out in the end.

"You ready, hun? I'm about to hit the gas, so hang on tight."

-- mind trying my home cooking..."

The driver chuckles softly, turning back around to rev up his bike a bit and warm up its engine.

"As for the rest, you can use your imagination while we're on the road. I'd hate to spoil all my surprises before the night starts!"

A dangerous prospect, knowing --

-- But for the time being, her question snaps him out of his thoughts, and his head turns round to glance at his lovely companion.

"There's this nice little hill outside of town that's pretty fantastic around sunset, so I thought we could go out there and have a bite to eat. As long as you don't --

-- touch the spot delicately.

"I should've guessed it was my favorite blonde in the entire world, my one and only Sunshine! Gosh, I feel like such a dummy now..."

"Aw, darn...I really thought I had it that time~" The young man chuckles, happy to have his vision back. But even happier to get a kiss from his lovely girlfriend, who he sees now in all her grace.

His cheek takes on a vivid, pinkish hue once her lips land upon them, and he brings a hand to --

Strictly the non-sentient ones, to be more specific...if he can talk to 'em, they're perfectly fine in his book.

He hums, knowing his sultry words had some sort of effect on the cutie. She feels a good bit warmer now, after all! He leans his head to the side, letting it rest against the mage's own.

"What about...a lovely guardian angel, whose beauty knows no end, here to bless a lucky, undeserving soul?"

-- The young man offers a little chuckle, but one tinged with buried emotions and genuine disdain.

"I wouldn't have expected a regal woman like yourself to have much interest in machinery...so the feeling's mutual, friend. We oughta grab a drink sometime. Y'know, to commemorate our common hobbies."

"W-what the--?!"

Leon is taken by complete shock, flailing around for just a moment until he hears that heavenly voice ring in his ears. Knowing now that it's not some random assailant, he calms back down.

"Good question...is it...a young, lovely princess from a foreign land I've never heard of?"

-- shake, making sure to be as delicate as possible as he does so.

"Ah, and you can call me Leonidas. Leonidas Cortez. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."

[★] what a cutiepie he is

-- Leon lets out a sigh, totally unsure what to make of this golden girl he'd only just met. The one thing he does know is to play it safe around crocodile tears..lest he find himself trapped.

"But more importantly...what's your name, miss? I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting ya before."

Like.

Intentionally?
