What| Gossiping with the new troll
Where| The Roof
When| Not long before the lockdown, just after this
Warnings| None!

Bert heads up to the roof as soon as he ends his conversation with Nepeta. It's one of his favorite spots, and currently it's fairly quiet. He is ticked so far with the newest troll to show up in the Capitol, she's cute and fun and has a strange sense of humor. He is a little anxious about her showing up though, maybe he came on too strong?

He really should be able to keep up, but it's not the sort of puns he's used to, so he will need more practice if he wants to compete.

But he brightens up at her acceptance of his offer, and he smiles broadly at her.

"I am indeed offering, it would be my pleasure to escort such a lovely young troll through the city."

And then in a move he really hopes isn't too bold he takes her hand and kisses it.

If he wants to practice with an actual opponent, she's quite willing to help with that. And if not, that's just fine too. She might be used to puns, but it's alright if he doesn't. Not even all of her acquaintances did.

Honestly, she's the only troll she knows of in the Capitol who does pun on a regular basis, but that only makes her more unique in the long run.

"Then I'd be glad to join you."

He lets go of her hand before that gets awkward and leans back, grinning.

"Then we have a date."

And he hopes she will take that with more meaning than just that they've made future plans together.

"We do," Nepeta answers with a nod, and if she's managed to miss the other meaning in it (which is honestly unlikely), she says nothing of it. For now, she is quite content to have planned something; anything else can come up later, or so she supposes.

we can leave things here

He's very excited about the whole thing. After that he's content to watch the city though and be quiet.
