Cady can't help glancing past Ren at the dark street.

I can't see a nametag unless the character is in my line of sight! Jorma Gon could be anywhere in a crowded place like this! The sooner I get Ren away from me, the safer he'll be.

"Didn't you offer to take me shopping?" Cady steps back until she's out of reach and looks up at Ren. "You can pick us up tomorrow afternoon."
"'Us?'"
"You didn't think I'd go somewhere alone with you, did you?"
"Uh, no, I... I mean-" Ren scratches the back of his head.
He's too cute when his tough-guy defenses are down!
(She's still looking at Ren.)
<span class="mu-i">
That doesn't matter though, right? I'm only pursuing this route long enough to get to the pet acquisition scene!
</span>
Ren finally looks back at Cady and grins as he reaches for her hand. "Come on, I'll walk you back to your school."
<span class="mu-i">
I should probably avoid any more hand-holding!
</span>
Cady snatches her hand back and covers it with her other hand and then smiles up at Ren. "I can get there just fine! After all, I live there!"
(She has no idea which direction it is.)
"That street."
"Huh?" Cady looks in the direction Ren's pointing and then back at him.
"That's the street that leads to your school." She can see Ren grinning even in the dark.
"I know!" Cady's steps are awkwardly long as she corrects her path.
"Sure you don't want me to escort you?"
Cady breaks into a jog. "I'll see you tomorrow!"
(She's glad it's too dark to see her blushing.)
For a few minutes she doesn't think she's going the right way but then she sees the dome of the Jedi Academy silhouetted against the night sky and she stops and pants until she catches her breath and then walks across the plaza.
<span class="mu-i">
That was a little too much to take! I don't know how I'm going to handle being out with Ren in public, even if Deline is with me!
