Call me old fashioned, but I was thinking that I should ask you in person.
[ He also wanted to avoid putting her on the spot. Yeah, it's not like this is a huge departure from what they've already been doing, but still, it's a little different to put a label on it, and it's easier said than done to let go of the feeling that it'll end abruptly one way or another. ]
Well, you could do that if you want to. [ it does make it feel more official somehow that he wants to ask her that way, doesn't it? she's not just imagining it? ]
I know how you feel. Especially since before coming here.
But if there's one thing I've learned, I think it's possible for the people you meet to bring you new luck. Maybe luck you didn't even think you could have a chance at getting.

Oh, no. I stayed away last time. I learned my lesson pretty hard after the lobster festival.
[ aka the first week she arrived here. ]
I saw that too. [ no point in lying about it. ]
no subject
The Halloween party wasn't bad, comparatively. I don't know what that might mean for this one.
[ He's not sure what to read into that. Text is tricky that way. ]
I'd be happy to go with you, but if that's too much I get it. No pressure.
no subject
You’re right. We might be due for something to happen.
No, I don’t think it would be too much. But you should wear the hat. Just a thought. No pressure.
no subject
[ Hunkering down and hiding in the house while things are happening in town just isn't their style.
Okay, now he knows she's teasing him. ]
Yeah? You only go on dates with someone who's wearing a stylish hat?
no subject
[ but she's not going to be the one who hides and misses out on living her life, especially since it's the only one she gets to have here. ]
It might better your chances.
no subject
[ And he knows better than anyone that running away doesn't fix anything. ]
Alright, but do I have to wear the hat when I ask, or is that for the date itself?
no subject
No, it’s definitely more party-appropriate. Wait, that wasn’t you asking already?

You're not used to people asking you out, are you?
no subject
[ mostly because they're all usually fighting for their lives. ]
no subject
I mean, yeah, things are kind of crazy here, but were you literally hiding from guys who wanted to talk to you or what?

Maybe I was just lucky.

I'm not used to that. Feeling lucky, I mean. Usually it feels like I'm cursed.

[ Now's not the time to ruin the mood by explaining why. He'll tell her about it later, and if she wants to she can tell him why she feels cursed. ]
You've done a lot to convince me otherwise, and that means a lot to me.
