Aurelia seemed to have a lofty set of standards...Lan could appreciate that kind of discretion in a woman. Then again, looking the way she did and seeing other guys falling all over themselves to try and get her attention, he knew that she could afford to be more than a little picky with her suitors. Bringing on his own A game would just make him another face in the crowd, though. If he wanted any chance at winning her favor even for one day, he'd have to do something unexpected...and as he thought about it, that might've been easier than it sounded, all things considered.

"Well, I suppose I could try 'n' sweep you off your pretty little feet," the hedgehog Faunus admitted to Aurelia with a goofy grin, "but I think that might earn us both the wrong kind of attention." Straightening up, he took on a more confident smile and continued, "Let's take a walk, find some place a little more private, maybe get to know each other a bit...If we get bored with that, we can always make things up as we go along."

Couldn't get more unexpected than slowing things down a couple measures. Aurelia didn't seem like the kind to dote over scenery or anything like that, but taking his time and talking more casually with her might have been just the thing Lan needed to do to draw her in. It'd all hinge on her response, though, and he dearly hoped that it'd be a positive one...
