Since...my hair is gone, Kloe mentioned teaching me some First Aid...I was wondering if there's more people out there that can help me with that, too.

Kloe...do you think maybe we could start tonight?

[Wow, is she blushing? Wow. Oh no now Oncie is blushing too. Oh nooo. That's un-manly. Manly men don't blush. Nooo. Stop.]

Wow I just remembered I totally have something to do, on the other side of the Keep, away from everyone else. And it's important. So, if you don't mind, I'm gonna go now. Because of that important thing.

[....Oooookay.]

All right. I'll see you later, then?

[So hopeful here.]

[yolonceler]

Yes, right, of course! Hey, you, me, dinner in the Great Keep?

[The Once-ler quickly grabs his pocket watch and flicks it open.]

Gosh, look at the time. Time for that important thing. Later!

[And he takes off down the hall.]

[70ftandcounting]

[...She is sort of just...staring at him. Until he flees. That's when she stumbles out into the hall after, wide eyed.]

Wait-! Tonight?!

[WHAT IS GOING ON.]

[yolonceler]

[Nonono he has to get out of there before he says something stupid or incriminating because that was already super mushy but the Once-ler doesn't do mushy and he's still blushing and dslkfjdsl.

Nevertheless, he skids to a stop and spins on his heel.]

Yes, tonight, Great Keep, you know, the place where they serve dinner?

[70ftandcounting]

Yes! Yes, I know--! Alright, tonight!

[She has no idea why he's fleeing but it really must be important to rush off like that, so she doesn't chase after him. Instead she just sort of waves helplessly, smiling after him in confusion.]
