[Awkward guy has no idea what to make with the sudden feeling of happiness or the realization that he probably just had a hand in making it happen.]
Sledding? Not in forever.
[Not since he was a child living near the Milites-Rubrum border with its harsh winters filled with snow. His mind wanders to that gloomy thought, before he makes himself attend to the conversation at hand. Forays into his childhood can come later.]
[ Well, it's something he's going to be feeling a lot more of from her in the future, so beware!
So, he may "feel" her smile when she answers. ]
It's been a while for me, too, but I don't think it's something you ever forget, right? And since the weather is perfect for it, how about a day of sledding?
[ Not exactly what one would think of for a date, but seems more than perfect for these two. ]
[He feels her smiling on the other end and it coaxes a similar one out of him. Used to be he hated how easy it was for people to read what was going on with him, but he's gotten where he doesn't mind. Sometimes it's even easier this way.]
Sounds great. Make sure you're bundled up though, don't want you to get too cold. [He snorts softly.] Maybe not too much bundled though. I remember having so many layers on that I could barely move.
[ Ironically, even after all her time here, Sheena still tries to hide how she's feeling from time to time--as he's discovered.
Totally second nature for her by this point.
But when she's happy--that she doesn't hide. At all. In fact, she doubts she ever really could. ]
You too. [ BLUSH. ] But, if we do get too cold, we can always have some hot chocolate afterwards. [ Oh, is that a shyly-made suggestion. ] And I promise not to be buried in too many layers. Not being able to move doesn't sound any fun.
[ She'll be wearing a brand new hat and scarf when he sees her. ]
Man, hot chocolate sounds good... too cold or not.
[He's not going to bring it up, but that's one of those little luxuries that stopped being available at Akademia about three months into the war. Having it available here has been a pleasant delight. Ice cream too, but it's not quite the season for that right now.]

[ A beat as the rest of his answer sinks in and a distinct happiness comes through the amulet. ]
Well, I was thinking... Have you ever been sledding?

I kind of miss it, now that I think about it.

Okay...but I get to bring the marshmallows!
