[Fie grins a little between bites when he realizes what she's talking about. She knows he's not stupid or anything, just pretty inept when it comes to things like that. So is she, but at least she picks up on a few things. Of course there's no faulting him for it. Teasing isn't off the table, though.]

So be careful with that, you might give someone the wrong idea.

[Between her sandwich, fries, and drink, Fie's not minding any lull in conversation. There's food to keep her occupied, and Shinjiro's company is never a bad thing, even in silence. It's comfortable simply having him present, she feels at ease. That equates into her feelings, though it's not something she's thought about much since the masquerade. They had a nice moment when dancing. Almost romantic in a way. But she won't think about it in that light. She doesn't want to have any weird expectations about something that he's not even aware of. It'd just make things weird.

So instead, she's content with them like this. Bonded friends, shooting the shit and talking about personal issues and feelings in their own fitting, if not off hand, way.]

Sure, why not? I was asked to the masquerade as a date, and we had fun. Decided not to go on more, but it's not a big deal. There's no point in not trying if you think you might like someone. [Like now. He's asking about her interest in dating. It makes sense for them to get there eventually. Just smaller steps in getting to know each other better.

Even Fie's allowed to be an idiot sometimes.]
