Your last reply:
He smiled softly realising he was making her uncomfortable and lowering his gaze once more, he rose from his chair and collected the empty cups, carrying them into the neat kitchen area and quickly washing them up. Once he had put them away he dried his hands on a checkered towel and exhaling gently. "I'll walk you back. The forest can be pretty tricky to navigate." He smiled at her, hoping she didn't think this too forward although he couldn't imagine what kind of person he would be to let a person walk home through the woods alone. "Are you warm enough?" It was pretty cool outside and although he was used to it he didn't want to assume she could cope with the cool temperatures.
Mine:
Madisen headed over to the door when he did, not wanting to seen anxious to leave. If it was still bright outside she would have stayed longer to talk but it was not bright outside, and that was what cut her time short. Maybe she could check the work schedule and see if she has the day off tomorrow, if Aspen didn't mind Madisen could come over then. But she would not suggest that, she wasn't sure how well that would go over with Aspen. Madisen smiled when he asked if she was warm enough and tucked some of her hair behind her ear, "Yes, I think I'll be okay." Madisen appreciated how he asked if she would be okay, it was very gentleman like. Even for someone who lived in the woods. The thought amused her though, she wondered where he learned good manners from. If she was not so reserved, she would not have minded him staring at her, but that was Madisen's problem. Not so much Aspen's. "It's during the winter that will be the worst for me. I was not mixed with the DNA of one of those mountain dwelling tigers."
Kurai here we go!

Madisen gave a small, slightly nervous smile. She assumed this was a one time thing, mainly because she didn't have the courage to ask to come over another time. So she did her little happy dance inside and wanted to let out a little girl like squeal when Aspen offered her to come over again. Was this how she was going to become more extroverted? Aspen certainly seemed capable of helping her in that area. He was outgoing but not to the extent that it was creepy, which made her comfortable, but in a way forced her out of that little box of her's. "I would love to come over again. I'll check my work schedule. I think I have tomorrow off..." She hesitated for a moment, almost feeling too forward, "...is that okay with you?" She felt a cold sweat begin to breakout, out of the irrational fear Aspen might decline. Hopefully he wouldn't notice.

Madisen's smile grew a little more to reveal some of her teeth. Someone would have to be a little bored living in the woods with not much to cure said boredom besides exploring or catching small game. Which must be fun in its own right, but Madisen didn't appreciate getting her hands dirty. She walked behind Aspen a step or two, wanting him to lead the way since he actually knew where he was going. "Oh, I work at the Hobby Lobby on Nacagdoches road. It's more of a part time job really." She wasn't entirely sure what her point was in adding that last bit, but it might become useful to Aspen at some point. Madisen quickened her pace to catch up with Aspen and walk beside him. "But since I'm off tomorrow, you probably won't know where to find me. I can maybe wait for you in the park?" She offered, trying to make things easier for him. Madisen would hate to send him on a wild goose chase through the entire town in an attempt to find her.

Madisen could understand his dislike for crowds. There was no telling who was hiding, lying in wait to take them back to their prison like facilities. "I just don't like people in general." Madisen smirked. But then changed her tone to that of a more embarrassed one, "Not including you of course. I just meant, people as a whole." Madisen corrected herself. She could see the park and city lights now, the walk back felt shorter than the one to Aspen's house. The saying 'Time flies when you're having fun' was evidently true. She just remembered though, they both needed to know what time to be at the park to avoid confusion. Madisen would give him her number and tell him to simply text her what time was best, but he didn't have a phone. Or at least one that she knew of. "Uh, what time did you want to meet up?" Madisen unconsciously pushed up her glasses. Why did it feel like they were going on a date? In her dreams anyone would ever ask hee to go on a date.

Madisen gave a thoughtful nod when he stated the time they should meet. Twelve o' clock would be a wonderful time. Because if she were to wake up at seven like she normally did, that gave her four hours to stress about what to wear, and then one hour to actually get herself together. "Midday sounds wonderful. I hope you eat beforehand though, because I'm not preparing a picnic. I can hardly cook microwave dinners." She admitted. Did he know what a microwave was though? She assumed so but it was too late to take it back. Madisen halted when she reached the edge of the woods, not daring to go farther while Aspen was still with her. He didn't like the city, and for his sake, was not going to go farther. She took a step or two forward however, so she could turn around and and face him. Her words came out slowly, as if she didn't want their talk to end, "I suppose this is where we part ways." She said the ending of her statement in a higher pitched tone, as if it was a question.

Madisen nodded back and returned the smile. "Yeah, tomorrow." She started backing away, and kept her eyes on Aspen. Until it was becoming awkward to walk backwards and she turned around, walking much more normally. As she was accustomed to living in the urban areas. It felt natural to walk here, like a tiger in the jungle, she was in a concrete one. Madisen normally to keep looking behind her to see who or what was there, but once she was in the woods with Aspen, she didn't have to. You could hear what was coming, from the rustle of the leaves and the snapping of twigs beneath one's feet. Although that life wasn't for her, she could understand why Aspen chose it. It would be a long night for Madisen, she knew that. She would probably be tossing and turning all night, just wanting the night to be over and to see Aspen sooner. He was good company, he had that air about him that made you want to smile or do things you never thought you would. He was just...Aspen, adorable and friendly Aspen.
{It was good, and sorry for bad response. I'm just tired lol. We can time skip to the park if you want or do one more response for Aspen and then time skip}

Madisen was quite accurate when she figured she would need about four hours to panic. She used them wisely, this included tearing apart her closet to find something casual yet formal at the same thing, she was attempting to dress down what would normally be dressed up and frankly almost found it impossible. Almost. She chose a navy blue cardigan with with a cream colored long sleeve to wear underneath, with skinny jeans and converse. She chose not to wear jewelry, fearing it might throw off the look. But she did put on Barely Glazed by Philosophy lotion. She normally didn't put on lotion, but instead perfume. However, she thought the vanilla smell the lotion had would be less strong to his nose than perfume. She wasn't wearing a hat to cover her ears of course, she hates how hats look on her, so she did her hair like how she did yesterday to cover them up. Madisen arrived on time since she wanted be punctual and after some walking, she found Aspen. Madisen gave a small wave in greetingg

Madisen's smile broadened as he greeted her back. He didn't ditch her, which was nice or made some excuse to get away, so that must mean she came dressed appropriately. "I'm doing great now that-" She stopped herself from saying 'that you're here', it sounded too friendly than for two people that just met. Madisen decided to change the sentence, "Now that uh, I have an occasion to...dress up for." She said the sentence in an evidently awkward fashion and started to go a little red in her cheeks. Madisen could only pray that Aspen assumed it was the cold, but he seemed to catch onto things quickly. It might be best to change the subject and save herself the embarrassment, but to what? The time when she needed to think most and her brain decided to abort this 'mission' of sorts. Now she drew a blank, her eyes darting to different places besides Aspen from behind her glasses. To cease her eyes from looking around elsewhere, she pushed up her glasses for what felt like the thousandth time in front of Aspen.
