[Romano has been considering approaching her for a while, but he is honest enough with himself to admit that he is not particularely good at comforting people, and he really does not want to make it worse for her. But when he hears someone in the bar and sees that it is her, he decides that it is time for him to man up and at least say hello.

In the end he only walks over towards her awkwardly and takes a seat next to the female.]

[ro_eltyeir]

[ It's not like she's drunk anyway, though she isn't the type to be violent even then. She catches him at the corner of her eye and offers a small smile, but not much else. Hard to be flirtatious right now when there are too many unpleasant things happening around her. ]

[mezzo_giorno]

[He returns the smile and then pulls his seat a bit closer, putting an arm around her slowly so she can pull away in time in case she doesn't want it.]

[ro_eltyeir]

[ She leans into that, gratefully. She wouldn't consider it romantic, considering that she's been with a lot of…relationships in her time. But it was sweet of him and she really appreciates that. ]

[mezzo_giorno]

[It's more that he isn't a member of her family and a male to boot, and... well, yes, he'd like to get with her at some point, but that isn't really on his mind right now.]

If you want to talk about something, just ...do, okay? [This is so awkward.]

[ro_eltyeir]

[ She smiles softly-not really looking at him yet, but… ] You're so sweet, Romano. I really appreciate that. [ But for now, just the company is enough. ]

[mezzo_giorno]

[The last descriptions that people gave him was 'coward' and 'mysogynist', so this is really a nice change.]

You deserve it.

[ro_eltyeir]

[ Well if that isn't just the sweetest-

She raises her head up, trying to look nonchalant despite her blush and the twitch to her mouth saying otherwise. ] Do you say that to every girl you meet?

[mezzo_giorno]

What if I answered "only if they deserve it"?

[He smiles back at her. Having lived as long as he has, and knowing that he would never be able to stick with a girl 'until the end', because no matter if they are nation or human, that is just impossible, it is always a bit hard for him to answer such questions. Yes, he is a flirt, but he has also fallen hardd a couple of times, and while sometimes he is just in it for a night, he has also often enough dated or charmed or courted girls very honestly.]

[ro_eltyeir]

[ And she has to look away at that because omg that is the sweetest thing and she can't be tsundere with him like Gakupo…

Gakupo. There really is no one else for her, even if she's fond of casual flings…

She smiles at him, coyly. ] I'm honored.

[mezzo_giorno]

[He will get over it. He always has to get over it - there just cannot be a forever for him and any girl. But he can enjoy what he can have while he has it.]

I'm being serious. And I meant what I said before. I'm- I doubt that I could help, but I can at least try to listen.

[ro_eltyeir]

Heh. [ Serious or not, she isn't one to share her problems with just anyone. There's only too much intimacy that she can let herself enjoy… ] No, it's fine. I should be happy about it.

[mezzo_giorno]

Okay. [He shifts a bit on his chair.] Do you want to be alone?

[ro_eltyeir]

[ She breaks into a cheeky smile at that. ] Already? But you just got here…

[mezzo_giorno]

Then how about a dance to take your mind off things?

[ro_eltyeir]

[ Can you just get any hotter today? She leans in, maaaaybe just a little too close: ] What do you have in mind?
