[ smooths back some of his hair and removes herself fully, walking back over to the clothes on her bed. ]

Is that what you tell all the ladies you date?

[ spins around on the stool to follow her movement. ]

Just the ones I never wanna give up, let down, or run around and desert.

[ turns to look at him after picking up her outfit, head tilted to the side in some sort of confusion. ]

How many of them fall under that category?

[ shakes his head, but isn't too surprised to see that his reference fell unappreciated. ]

Two.

[ turns her back towards him as she starts to peel off her robe. ]

Really? Lucky them.

[ opens mouth to retort back, realizes half-way what's happening & turns right back around swiftly on the stool. buries his face into his hands, sputtering embarrassed nonsense into his palms. ]

[ doesn't seem to notice as she gets dressed, only turning back to look at him when he doesn't say anything coherent. holds the last article of clothing in her hand while she speaks: ]

What's the matter?

[ does not lift his head, instead squeezing his eyes shut as well. ]

Can you call your ninja back. . . ?

My ninja?

[ waves a hand to motion her to keep dressing. ]

Ninja.

[ but she doesn't get dressed, too busy pouting before wandering off into her walk-in closet. ]

I know I'm not perfect, but I didn't think my body was that bad to look at...

[ groans as loudly as he dares & so it sounds more like a squeak instead. ]

That's not the problem!

[ doesn't respond, too busy wiggling into the last of her clothes. after picking out the appropriate shoes she steps out, hands behind her back. ]

There. Happy?

[ cautiously turns around to peek through his fingers, only lowering them slowly when he realizes that he's in the clear & nods. ]

. . . perfect.

Okay...

[ & then wanders over to her make-up table again to nab the purple headband that had been pointed out before. puts it in place, leaning into the mirror to smooth out the stray hairs. ]

[ relaxes completely now, also getting to his feet as he watches her finish up her attire. reaches out to fix her headband & some strands of hair at the end. draws back with another nod. ]

Perfect.

[ blinks up at him in surprise, feeling her cheeks go slightly warm with that expression on his face. looks back at herself in the mirror as she smiles widely. ]

Thank you.

[ gives her a finishing pat on the head. tugs on the collar of his own dress shirt in halfhearted attempt to complete his own image. ]

To infinity and beyond?

[ messes once more with her hair before grabbing at her purse, giving a nod to him when she's finished. ]

Onward!

[ strides toward the door & stops when his hands land on the doorknob to glance back at her. ]

Are you ninja enough to escort us out?

[ seems to puff out her chest a little bit as she waltzes right out her bedroom door. ]

Of course! You have nothing to fear, darling.

[ shuffles out after her as quietly as he could, jumping at little shadows as he keeps his eyes peeled for any strange movement. ]

[ looks over her shoulder and reaches out for his hand as they go along, hoping that'll relieve at least some of his fears. ]

[ takes her hand gratefully, squeezing it until they finally reach their destination of the front door. is the first one to shuffle outside, dragging her along toward where his scooter had been parked. ]

Our noble steed.

[ makes some "ooo" and "ahhh"ing sounds as she glances at it from all sides. ]

How fancy!
