Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryan chuckled and spoke with a lightened heart as he walked alongside the fair skinned Lady Lilianna "I'd hope so. After all, festivals always have cute animals as prizes." There's always little lions and wolf puppies as prizes so Ryan though bunnies should totally be on the list. It was rather relieving seeing Lilianna examine the flower the way she did. As she took it in with detail her studious eyes gave away her interest to the gift in question. Ryan was slightly worried at first that his blind date might be allergic to flowers yet... That was a slight reason that he had the yellow crystal around his neck.

If not flowers then the item which pointed him out from the crowd was going to be his next possible gift; But by then only if she accepted it.

As he and Lilianna arrived at the windows for entry his golden orbs silently read the board of prices and began doing math in his head. While the mumblings of his obsidian hair companion had gone unheeded at first, his eyes looked over with surprise at Lilianna when his ears and mind had caught up to what she had said; Though, still, his chivalrous heart was too late to respond. "What? That's no fair. I was meant to pay for us." While he did playfully pout he did kindly accept the kindness and even let his pout slip away at last second as a smile. Even if his manly ego wasn't able to impress a female by buying things for her Ryan was truly smiling at Lilianna for her bravery; Ryan coyly placing his his bracelet on with good faith.

"I've got to say, that was quite bold of you to pay for us both." As they entered the fun land filled with colored lights, screams of enjoyment, and open seabreeze, Ryan couldn't hide his wide smile from his date. "I wasn't expecting a lady of your caliber to squander your resources on someone like me. After all, I am just a blind date to you." He wasn't mad or upset about Lilianna paying for them both, it was just that this man had never had the woman pay for anything at all; That is if you only count the women of this island he's been with that is.

As they continued walking Ryan felt like this momentum should continue, and as it just so happened to be the blind date app just happened to provide one safety net for a date. In this case it was a question of what was presented to them both, and with his own answer ready he'd ask his blind date, Lilianna, a simple question. "S-so what's your favorite holiday Lilianna?"

How could he deny her smile, or her cheeky tongue? When Lilianna mentioned the flower it was only right that a woman like her wouldn't take his kindness for granted. Yet, all the while it made Ryan smile; and even enough to see her be so careful with the flower. While Ryan knew that the flower was something of a throw away gift he still was thankful of Lilianna's carefulness as she placed it in her purse like a careful treasure. With his slightly flushed cheeks he processed beside Lilianna and was actually being charmed by the way she openly expresses joy to his favorite holiday as well.

"I actually love Christmas too." This fact was true but at this moment Ryan's cheeks were trying to cool down after catching a very slight glimpse of his blind date's... unmentionables, yet this was why he glanced out to the amazingly fun fair grounds with it's sight reflecting in his orbs of honey gold. "Just like you I have fun setting up the gifts along with the lights and I love the way it seems like there's a seasonal glow that brings out the better qualities of us all." A little playful smirk then nonchalantly plays upon his lips. "Although Valentine's Day is a real solid second place."

It's actually been a while since Ryan did anything for Christmas but with how his life has been quite wild and unstructured it was just a side affect of what paths he has chosen. Just as on their current path right now had games, some of them caught Ryan's eyes and shortly after curiosity struck. "Which games you wanna try? I've never been here so I'm down for any." He was quite good at sports and such so anything related to that want to be something Ryan suggest but that is only if his date didn't have an idea of what she wanted to try as well. After all, he wanted to show get a good time and ladies first was a rule of Ryan's, even when it came to having fun.

Ryan raised an eyebrow when he had thought he'd heard Lilianna speak but looking over at her she held a coy blush and shy eyes that would not look at him. He thought he'd caught her words but for now Ryan simply took in the sight of the shy woman and softly smile at her fair skinned beauty. Honestly, her slight awkwardness complaint her softness very well. "I get the sense you've own a bunny before or something like that." Perhaps she just liked the calm nature of the little beast but it was something Ryan would keep in mind. She did want a stuffed animal of one, right? He would keep an eye out on which games might have a bunny themed prize, yet for now he'd see something much more interesting.

Fallowing up with Lillianna, Ryan too began to check out the extensive directory and was somewhat surprised at how much this place has to offer. It was one thing making camp on the other side of the island, since the camping site was usually mellow, but I also made him realize that he needed to slow down from this crazy life or else he was going to miss everything around them because he's running forward like Crazy Horse rushing forward with blinders. Though, for all the people he's met in his time here in Soleil City a common string that many people have is that they are here because they're either trying to change something or get away from something. He couldn't guess just which of the two categories Lilianna might had been but then again that might be something to talk about later. For now, the race was on!

It was somewhat of a short line, surprisingly, for the Go-karts but that was all good with Ryan. He told Lilianna about how he was a racer before though he gave grandiose stories about his exploits with only a single one of them being true. He somewhat knew, or at least thought, that Lilianna wouldn't believe his tall tales but the little tease thought it'd kill time in the line. Gas fumes or little cars reved up put a genuine smile on his face though for all his talk the latino guy just couldn't snag the win. It wasn't only because he didn't want to defeat Lilianna but also because they didn't come near first. Fourth and fifth place didn't sound bad for a total of eight racers and with him being able to speak to Lilianna victory didn't matter when he already felt like he was standing by a shy beauty queen. "I guess I'm a little rusty from my Formula One days. I didn't expect you'd beat me." He wasn't if she'd read his lie; Though there were a few curves he intentionally sped down for her to gain some distance between them. "And I had just happen to drive my car here too. Did you diver here too, Lilianna?" Quite curious about his blind date Ryan figured to ask a question as they traverse the fairgrounds again, couples and families passing by as he decided to tease again and coo Lilianna's name with a spanish tongue.

Lilianna photo of her bunny had not gone unnoticed. While Ryan smiled and only said shes a cute healthy looking girl, she as in Cheste, he would ponder in line for the go-karts if he should find a stuff bunny with colored fur or the classic all white coat. That thought though was over shadowed when he lightly laugh at his date measuring her height. He was most most certain that she was tall enough to ride by now but at least at this angle. Her smooth obsidian hair paid focus to the chocolate jewels which were her eyes and with the sun shading them well her eyes took a detailed look to them as the shadow of a large tree's leafs lightly gave way for the rays to romanticize Lilianna's face.

The race was done but Ryan's heart kept that beat as his pulse happily raced every time he'd stand by Lilianna's side. "That game was a training tool for me too." He jest, but did ring a love of the gane in his voice. "Though, just a friendly tip, you might wanna start outside the turn and aim for its center when you drift. And maybe speed up more that than slow down when entering for the turn." While Ryan may not have been a formula 1 racer he did want to teach his newly made friend a little trick from his old lifestyle. Though, from the sounds of it she wouldn't be using these tricks with her own car for a while. (Example here)

Groups of kids cheered as they played fun games against one another and couples smiled hand-in-hand as they made off with victory paid in plushie. The vibe was right and joyous just as his date was, and in this moment his heart was feeling a nostalgic emotion. A game attendant called to him and Lilianna from the side and to Ryan's matching delight he found a plush bunny ready for the taking. Lilianna gave such an endearing face as she spoke with her coy heart, so it was impossible for Ryan to not smile boastfully as he flirted with confidence. "Don't worry, my little lady. Your man is here for you." With a playful nod to the game attendant Ryan told the man to count him in as the young man took his place at the stand. With a few others passing by and looking on with curiosity Ryan gave a little show for everyone.

To show some of his athletic skills to his date Ryan playfully tossed his first ball from behind his back, a turn of his body to the side so he could do so, and with an underhand toss he'd hit the top bottle off smoothly with a smile. The middle two bottles and bottom three stayed perfectly in place as the single top bottle fell behind the stack, but with Ryan's second toss like a basketball the middle bottle were no match for his aim. Ricocheting off between the middle of the two bottles, the ball made quick work as it bounced onto the floor but now it was time to go big or go home. With his last ball in hand Ryan took a fee steps back to give her and the last three balls some distance. As people looked on Ryan wound up, and suddenly he'd give a masterful pitch and threw between the two bottles on the left, both of them getting hit with such force that they'd fly left and right causing one of the bottle to take out the last one along with its fall.

"Looks like we've got a winner!" As the game attendant announced Ryan's victory, and the crowd clapping at the fine display of skill, Ryan happily chose the bunny as his prize before strutting up to Lilianna to kindly hand the plushie to his date; A few female spectators giving wooing noises for Lilianna as romantic encouragement that they were rooting for her and her date. "You wanted rabbit and so your man got you a rabbit~"

Her eyes instantly lit up as she stared at her new furry friend, and he smiled at her knowing his initial intentions had been met. Ryan had clearly given his blind date a good time. With Lilianna's cuddle bunny safe in her arms the crowed lightly gave into emotion, and stirred up a commotion. Ryan was the type to easily step into the spotlight, but was Lilianna the same? Was she fine with this? Before he could suggest slipping away for the attention he was struck by a kind and tender kiss burning a blush onto his caramel shaded skin. Though she hid her face behind her plushie for a shield he definitely thought of how her chocolate shaded eyes shined for him and it her thanks was something that could make any man's heart race quickly. "You're welcome." His voice was calm and understand; He appreciated her bravery and was kindhearted to her because of it.

After a few more games and a go on the bumper cars that sky's hue had change and light flickered to life under the changing of the clouds. Less children were present as many families had gone home for the evening, but still stayed quiet a few others who wanted nothing but some more time alone in this festive state. A bright light did outshine all the others on this night and that was the ferris wheel both Ryan and Lilianna had seen. With her eyes on him and his eyes on her they shared a smile, both thinking the same thing, and shortly after they were holding hands; Lilianna having been the one to reach out to Ryan. The way she popped her head just barely above the bunny's head made her look like a timid rabbit herself, and it show so much more when they formed into line for the ride.

As they waited, Lilianna had let go of Ryan's hand which caught his attention and his careful gaze. Her mocha diamond eyes reflect such a spark of the light surrounding them, and with her looking up to him with such uncertainty he gave her a brave face before sliding a hand to hold onto hers; Intertwining their fingers if he could. "Please, don't let go just yet." He hoped he wasn't being too forward or brass but at the same time, as his golden stare stay fixed upon her soft beauty, he also was going with his boldness and sticking to this emotion in time. It became their turn to take their seat and as the door locked secure it was almost like they had their own private room. The wheel barely began to turn when Ryan decided to speak with a gentle coo to Lilianna. "I haven't had a fun date like this in a long time. And what's most interesting is that it was a kind-hearted stranger who showed me such a good time." A soft smile as he kept his affectionate attention on her and wondered what was she'd say to his words.

In all honesty Ryan knew what he was doing. Every touch made her blush and Lilianna's shy reaction always got a rising reaction out of him too. Perhaps it was selfish to make her heart race like this but it was only because she does the same to him that he wants her like this. As the ferris wheel began to turn the light glowed at their feet and a slight chill befell them. Ryan knew he should have brought a sweater or something but Lilianna's words were almost enough to heat him up.

Almost being the key word.

What truly did made Ryan warm though was his date inching ever closer to him with a coy hand so very close as well. While looking over to her he did notice that she had shivered, and because he didn't have a sweater to offer her his body; Ryan's arm lightly slung over her as he sat side-by-side with Lilianna and kept her close to the warmth his body was gladly willing to share. There was a silent calm between the two has the ferris wheel moved once more, only this time they were now at the very top when a loud bang had gone off. Ryan had slightly jumped from the sound but after his eyes reflected the colorful view his heart smiled to see the fireworks. It has been such a very long time that he could relax like this and loud bangs were not gunshots, and with this all being thanks to one woman his hand slightly caress Lilianna's arm as he watched the show alongside her. "Lilianna," Ryan cooed with his Spanish tongue as his honey gold eyes looked away from the show to see the beauty that was wrapped by his arm. "I don't mean to be too bold but I can't control myself." And with the young man leaned in and lightly press his lips to her soft cheek. He made sure his kiss was tender, like a Summer breeze caressing your skin, and when his lips left he'd take the opportunity to sweetly lace a naughty thought into her heart. "After this you wanna get a drink? I just so happen to have a bottle back at my place."

Ryan's honey blonde eyes could see how Lilianna was unsure and quiet flustered by his proposal, all of which only brought a small giggle of amusement to his heart. "If you're not sure right now...how about you think it over before our second date?" His hand around her had give her arm a sort of comforting rub as he tried to consolidate the girl's feelings about the situation. A small smile glowed from his warmth and with softly sincere eyes he'd speak kindly to her. "What I'm saying is that we don't have to go to my place. After all, my only goal today was to show whoever was my blind date a good time. And judging by the way you've been cuddling your bunny this whole time I'd like to think I succeeded." Perhaps it was a good idea that Lilianna had second guessed whether or not it was a good idea to head back to his place. After all, Ryan himself a question from the very beginning what it was that he was searching for in this date. Though he just recently had to break ups why was it that he was even going out on dates so soon?

Especially when all of this reminded him, and hurt him, about how swift and sudden emotions can sweep someone off their feet.

"Yet, if I'm being honest, I wouldn't mind texting your number every now and then to talk. I really like your personality and would hate to loss out on a possible friendship with you." As the ferris wheel moved again Ryan's emotions did not. His warmth still raced and his heart was loudly hearing Lilianna's, even over the sparkling fireworks which played upon the innocent woman's gaze. "It's all only if you want this too."
