[She'd insist it's no problem, helping, etc, but she already said something to that effect. She decides to just take the compliment and dip her head in a greeting.]
Likewise. My name is Gwendolyn; a pleasure to meet you.
If you don't mind me asking, is that a title of some sort? I wouldn't like to assume, but it isn't the kind of name I'm familiar with.
[He takes glances at her while he speaks, because he is afraid to look at her chocolate lips again for fear of the same rude behavior he's already exhibited. He's trying really hard not to be rude at all.]
Yes, it is. Not to worry, I don't think most people are familiar with that title. It is just what I am called, and have been for ages.
[It's been so long he doesn't remember when he was called by his actual name.]
[Unfortunately for Shin she's shifted positions on the bench in order to sit facing him comfortably. It'd be rude otherwise...which means it's that bit harder to avoid looking all over again.
She's noticing though...it's really hard not to. But she mostly feels bad and thinks he's still anxious over being here. Poor guy.]
...is that so? Are you a Lord of some kind?
[She doesn't know what a kai is, but "supreme" is a bit on the nose.]
[He looks down at the ground for a moment. It sadly was, and he's not happy about being here when Majin Buu is running amok on Earth without the Kai of Universe Seven to provide support to the saiyans. He hoped Gohan was alright.]
It is, but...there isn't much I can do now.
[He looks up, and looks at her without even thinking about it- and feels that urge again when he gets a glimpse of her lips.]
Uhhh...[slightly distracted] ...Gwendolyn, may I ask you something strange?

[Shin's been really cool so far. Surely he wouldn't ask something inappropriate! Surely!]

...been acting strange around you at all tonight? Maybe even in a vulgar sense?
