[ Gwen's gaze lingers on the lions for a minute longer, considering what Rei's saying. ]

...Huh. I guess you would be the expert.

[ She'll take Rei's word for it. Her head's feeling pretty buzzy after going in for the kiss, so she doesn't want to think about it too hard.

The night goes on, and they enjoy a pleasant meal and even more pleasant conversation. Gwen learns a lot more about Rei, and opens up about herself as well. She feels comfortable around Rei in a way she hasn't really felt with anyone else in Deerington. Maybe because Rei has already seen so many sides of her. She saw her fight, she saw her cry, she saw her be a nerd at the comic book shop. Not many people can say they've seen all Gwen has to offer. But she's happy to share that with Rei. ]

[The night is beyond pleasant, for Rei. It might actually be the least stressful birthday evening that she's ever had. Even with the added element of nerves because she wants to impress her date, and the giddy feeling inside that comes when they make it back to Rei's house after their meal. Kisses soothe that away quickly enough, though, and all that's left is the warm feeling of an uncommonly strong connection.

Gwen's good for her, she thinks, and continues to think throughout the whole affair. She's easy to talk to, easy to get along with, understanding of her many oddities, and she's seen Rei at both her best and her worst. She also seems to soak up the attention and affection that is offered. That's always been her biggest worry, that she'll overdo it and drive anyone she likes that isn't one of the senshi away. She believes she can be high maintenance (she isn't actually), and even into her twenties struggles with the idea that she can have this kind of happiness with anyone else.

Thankfully, she's quite wrong.]
