[She bought it, he's saved from certain embarrassment!!!]
Perhaps you are right. I don't seem to be feeling quite like myself tonight.
[He joins her while he's trying to get a grip on himself. There's something about her lips though that he can't put a finger on and it's perplexing to him. He doesn't succumb to that kind of lewdness. He can't believe he even stared at her like that for even a second.]
...There's a bench. Come, would you like to sit with me for a bit?
[So he can make it up to her by being normal for a second or two.]
Please, you needn't apologise. [She takes a seat beside him.] Given we're all new here, it only makes sense to try and assist one another in adjusting.
[Also Gwen's a helper. The only thing she can't help is that.]
[Now that she's sitting beside him, he doesn't have to always look at her to speak, which will help with this horribly distracting lip gloss she has on.]
Yes, there's many things here that have been very difficult to adjust to.
[He's not letting on what some of those things are, but they've made his life a bit harder since he's arrived.]
You'll have to forgive me. I've forgotten to introduce myself. [Names seem appropriate now, and he does feel a little bad.] I am known as the Supreme Kai. It's very nice to meet you. Thank you for being so kind to see that I am alright tonight.
[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?

Would you like something to drink? Water, perhaps? It might help if you're feeling off.
