_{{/The audible sound of the chair legs sliding over the floor drew her attention back to Kyungsoo, blinking in surprise at his words.} I….suppose you’d be right about that. {/Her expression clearly showed she wasn’t sure how to take that statement, jumping back when the other stood without much warning. Jinri’s gaze rose to watch his features, searching for any sign of hesitation in this endeavor. She wasn’t one to push others, and Kyungsoo seemed— fragile to her in some sense.} Mm, yeah, you’re right. You never know with how this weather has been. {/Standing from her chair, she took one last bite of her sandwich before abandoning it completely.} Yes, sir! There’s one just a few blocks away. {/Jinri raised two fingers to her forehead in a playful salute, her full lips tugging up into a bright smile. Snatching up her bag from the back of her chair, she turned towards the cafe doors, glancing back to make sure the other still hadn’t changed his mind.} Off we go then?}

_{{`Kyungsoo’s visage skewed into a befuddled expression; head tilting ever so slightly to the left at Jinri’s rather playful gesture of acknowledgement. Hesitantly, he shrugged his shoulders in an meager attempt to settle his coat against his (rigid) frame before raising a hand and timidly mirroring the salute; digits barely splayed and half-bent. } Y-Yeah… I’ll– {`He swallowed hard; previously raised hand now caressing the base of his throat– almost as if he was trying to physically force the hoarseness from his enunciation  } I’ll let you lead the way. {`The elder stepped aside– merely making way for Jinri to slip past before proceeding to ensconce both hands within the safety of deep pockets; soon after meandering out into the relatively chilled outdoors. }}
