"Wow. This place is really peaceful," Kermu said. "A lot more peaceful than at Mithos' house. Nothing against him, but things just get too noisy for me there."

"I bet. Things get quite chaotic at Kiki's too," Aiko said.

"Yeah. It's nice to just get out and relax for a bit, although, I've never been out with a girl before," he said with a bit of a blush.

Aiko turned her head just the slightest bit away. "Yes, it is nice to relax," she said. "I usually go out the willow trees around the lake at Kiki's to do so."

"There's a lake there?" he asked. "Sounds much nicer than the ocean. Although, I still don't like water. It hurts me."

"I'm used to it," Aiko said. "I spend a lot of time with Annabell swimming."

"I know it's weird I like water," Aiko said, "but Kiki always encouraged us to try to overcome our weaknesses." She gazed toward the sky. "She's always pushed herself and wanted us to do the same. SHe never pushed us over our limits, though."

"Trying to push someone past their limits is bullying in my book. Unless they're trying to push their own limits and you're helping them."

"That we were," Aiko said. "We drew on her strength and she on ours. The early days of training with her were tough and exausting, but they were well worth it."

"I haven't really had much training," Kermu said. "It was just recently that mom and dad thought I was old enough to be on my own."

"Oh. Funny. I normally don't get nervous talking to new people, but I'm getting a bit nervous talking to you."

"You did say it was your first time out with a girl like this," Aiko siad.

"That's probably it," Kermu said. "Truth is I don't really know too much about girls."

"And I still don't understand males that much," Aiko said. "You may ask me questions if you want."

Should I ask her what she looks for in a guy? he thought to himself. Or would that be risking too much?

Aiko looked at the willows and sniffed one of the ones that was in bloom.

"Umm, if it doesn't bring back any bad memories, can you tell me what you want in a guy?"

Aiko sighed. "At this point, just somebody who won't leave me," she said.

Kermu wasn't sure whether he should say something or keep quiet. He didn't know whether he'd ended up hurting her unintentionally or not.

Aiko sniffed the in-bloom willow again.

"Well, I still don't really know how to make a girl happy, but mom told me that before I let a relationship go too far, I shuld be sure I want to spend the rest of my life with the girl I meet."

Aiko nodded. "That you should," she said.

"So, if I learn more about you, I can decide whether or not I feel that way. Of course, I want you to feel the same toward me."

"What I want most is a girl who will love me and is willing to teach me, since I've lived with my parents in a house all this time. One who wouldn't go overboard with loving me, like freaking out if she didn't know where I was every minute of everyday."

"That's all I would really want. Someone who wants to snuggle every once in a while. Someone who I knew I could count on to be there. Someone I could be there for."
