[DANIKA]

Drunk? She hadn't even thought about taking a sip of any of it, but now the idea lurked curiously in the abyss of her mind. Danika never had alcohol in her life and never intended to, but it wouldn't be bad to experiment, right? Would Emi take her home? Let her sleepover? There were just so many possibilities for her to choose from, but what if she revealed something or triggered one of those scary dreams? The girl didn't like the idea of passing out or falling asleep, but would Emi be there? Danika could feel her cheeks heating up just thinking about it. Quickly letting go of the boy's hand, she placed her hands on her cheeks trying to calm herself down. She had to stop this wild daydreaming of hers!

"Heh, fine, I won't take a sip of anything." She gave him a cutesy giggle as she crossed fingers mentally. It was a promise that she couldn't keep, she hated lying, but she just wanted to know what it was like. "Does that mean I get to be behind the counter with Emi, ne?" Danika suddenly smirking at him as if she was up to something, not that she was, but it was fun to tease him every chance she got and it lightened up the mood (for her). Borrowing one of the spare aprons, the girl tied it on herself just laughing for no reason. She couldn't help feeling happy for one, to see Emil's usual look meant that he wasn't mad at her anymore. Smiling cheerfully, the girl clung to his arm not wanting to let go, but knowing she had to.

She'd only let him go so that he could work properly, but that was it. Any other time Danika was sure to cling to him like a koala bear. Slowly taking in his scent, the redhead let go and join the men at the bar who had just been laughing and carrying on. Few said their hellos and others potentially tried to hit on her, but she brushed it off like dust on her shoulder. Her ears perked when one asked her about her dear grizzly friend as she smiled excitedly.

"Ne, Kumo is great, right now he must be worried that I haven't come home -- yeah, he's super overprotective sometimes, but he's alright." Leaning against the counter as she laughed, "You should come and visit us sometime, he'll love it! Wahh!~ As long as you bring fish he won't hurt you and besides I'll protect you because Kumo would never hurt me..." Eyes slowly soften as she continued to talked about the bear; he was all that she really had, but -- turning her glance at Emil -- she wanted more than that. There you go Dani, being a super mushy weirdo again! He probably doesn't even think of you that way... A small fist balled as she let out a huff, but I can't give up! I have to keep trying anyways!

Blinking, Danika hadn't realized that she had been staring at the boy the whole time just laughing it off as she rubbed the back of her head, "So," walking closer to him as she gently pressed small hands to his chest, "when are lessons going to begin....Sensei?" Innocent eyes looked up into his while internally she suppressed the wanting to grin deviously at him.
