[After the debacle with Dorian, when he saw Ino's message in his inbox he was for sure thinking it'd be about that. He even spends a moment trying to figure out what to say]
[SO WHEN HE OPENS THE MESSAGE AND READS IT....he's lost. And concerned. What does that even mean?? Is this one of her sweet worded threats or something???]
[ EXCUSE HIM HE'S IN SHOCK AT THE SECOND. HE SERIOUSLY THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE FROM HER FINDING ANYONE INTERESTED. JESUS CHRIST FLEET FOLKS HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS ]
Allen, what have I been telling you! You're a perfectly attractive and nice guy! She remembered you from the blood drive, too, so it's not like she didn't know what you looked like or how you acted or anything.
[ And you know. Make sure he wasn't violently opposed to the idea so she wasn't forcing him into something he really didn't want ]
But it sounds like she's pretty free to do something whenever. She was even super concerned if you guys had real food on your ship, so maybe you could get something to eat!

Huh? What is it?

I got you a date with a cute girl :)

Oh, nothing super personal, of course. Just a little bit about your personality and what you like and dislike.

How-

Ah- I guess I just didn't think you'd...actually find someone!
text;
text;
[ Welp. Guess there goes the argument of them not knowing how young he looks ]
...Alright. Who is she?
text;
Her name's Misha! She's got short red hair, a scar on her nose?
She just turned twenty-three a few weeks ago, so she's pretty close in age, too.
text;
Yes, I remember her. She volunteered and donated blood. She seemed very nice.
text;
Aaaand she wants to go on a date with you. :) Just a casual one!
text;
Right- a date.
[ He gulps on his end. Oh God. This is actually happening. Sure Misha is cute and nice but- oh God. ]
D-Did she say when?
[ Yes. Somehow his stuttering is strong enough right now to show up on text. ]

[ There's a pause ]
It's just one date, right? I suppose it'd be rude to turn down what a lady wants, especially if it's food.
[ Going on a date to get free food? He could accept that reasoning ]
text;
Exactly! So, do you want to ask her, or should I?
text;
I can ask her. It'd only be polite.
text;
Okay! Let me know how it goes, okay?
[ Not that she won't also be grilling the fuck out of Misha, too, but ... ]
text;
[ A MOMENT AFTER ]
...Thanks, Ino.
