[ He can't tell if the strange feeling in his chest is a) running all the way here or b) he's actually nervous. His breathing slows, nodding as he steps inside Hiyori's suite with a smile.

So Weiss-san's performing on the 14th, I think she said at one of the theatre's? I didn't even know there were theatres here, but that's not the important part! I mean, it is, 'cause it ties into why I ran here. I dunno if you're free on the 14th, so it's pretty bold of me assumin' you already are..

[ He's rambling, but a point will be made! ]

I get if you are busy, but what I'm tryna ask is, Weiss-san said there's a soir-ee after? [ Soirée, he means soirée. ] You know those fancy parties you nobles go to? And she said I could bring a friend, but, uh, what I want to ask is, did you wanna come with me?

[ Enough of dragging this out, he's about to go right for it. ]

You know, sorta like a date?
