● Baobhan Sith has actually been studying in secret ever since the pair had become an item officially. Watching romance novels, reading books of similar subject matter... But all of that cute stuff was things she could do easily. Even though they were technically easy. She hadn't had much physical closeness with another person before.

"I suppose you're right..." In the end she sounded rather deflated. Of course Eula would just act like this was a normal outing to her. It wasn't a bad thing, it was just very Eula. But at least it gave her the motivation to be bold.

She wrapped her arm around the knight's and then laced her fingers with the woman's own. "Then you should be okay with something like this, right?" Archer then allowed herself to lean against her girlfriend as they walked.

Ah, so that was it. This was indeed their first date as an official couple...and to be honest, Eula hadn't really put thought into that. Or rather, she felt like there wasn't any need to. When properly courting someone, she recalled the standards her family set upon her, but seeing as this wasn't Mondstadt and she had no love toward old traditions, she hadn't put much stock into them.

Seeing Baobhan be so stiff in regards to something similar, however, does give her pause. "Is there really any need to change our behavior? Other than the...obvious." The obvious in question was the normal shows of affection in public, which Eula thought she had done well. "Unless I'm missing something entirely."

● The kiss on the Archer's hand took her by surprise. Why was it that Eula had figured out all of her weak points already? Well, perhaps they were pretty obvious with her abundance of inexperience when it came to intimacy. She didn't really have any positive experience to draw upon and had supplemented her lack of knowledge with whatever she could learn from modern movies and texts.

"My mood isn't sour! I..." Baobhan Sith was hesitant to admit what was bothering her because it made her sound immature. In a way this was their first date date, right? At least as an item. "I've never been on a date like this before, so I don't know how to act as an official couple!"

Judging by Baobhan's reaction, it was ready to tell that Eula had hit what could be considered a sore spot. Though Baobhan pretends to be less than enthused to be here, the knight knows that somewhere, deep down, she's glad to be here even if she won't say it. A couple of heads turn their way at the sudden outburst, but Eula plays it cool the best way she can. "Deflecting entirely by giving compliments and causing a scene…" She sighs, uncrossing one of Baobhan's arms to take hold of her hand, whose palm she brings to her lips to kiss.

"What's really gotten you into so sour a mood? Tell me. It can't just be because of all of this."

● Baobhan Sith's arms were crossed around her torso and she was tapping one arm with the fingers on the hand of the other. She should have been happy that Eula had asked her out to an event like this, but she was also stubborn. Too stubborn to easily contradict her earlier commentary on this party idea.

"I... Grr..." Evidently she'd spent long enough with Eula now that the knight knew how to poke holes in her defenses. Should she turn it around? "Don't get the wrong idea! I'm not here for the garden. I'm only here to see the single most beautiful flower here! You!" It probably would have been smoother if she hadn't yelled it.

"Are you going to pretend as if you aren't enjoying yourself for the entire night?" Eula sighs, though nowhere near as huffy as Baobhan had been since they arrived here. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves, making idle conversation. Lots of laughing and an overall good mood and yet when one focused long enough on their table, they'd notice Baobhan being a little bit of a brat. "Yes, a garden can be found anywhere but don't you find this one particularly lovely?"
