[b]She did notice. In fact, she put her hand on his. Her hand was very warm to the touch, warmer than a normal human's.[/b]
"It'd be better if you decided, honestly. I don't know of many fun things to do..."

Leone widened his eyes and smiles again. Nodding, he spoke. "Have you tried Cake before? It's a rather delicious dessert, though not hot or cold. Room temperature really." He asked, because well Cake has always been a tradition for celebrating Birthdays.
-
"I can't say I've tried cake before... Sounds interesting... Would it happen to be sweet? I've heard that people eat sweet things on their birthdays." [b]She seemed to not really know what happened on birthdays, like she'd never really had a party to celebrate.[/b]
-
"Yes I'd say its usually sweet. The frosting is rather nice. The cake itself can range from a wide variety of flavors, even Cheese!" Leone said with some enthusiasm. He was glad he was going to let Ry experience cake.
-
"Cheese? Why would you want something sweet that tastes like cheese? Ah well, where should we get one? Or, if you told me how to make one, I could bake one! Not burnt, of course." [b]She also seemed excited at the prospect of this "cake".[/b]
-
"I think we should get one. It'll be faster, besides we can walk and talk..." Leone said, slowly pulling his hand from hers. He didn't know if like..they were a thing or friends who were really close to each other. Leone wouldn't mind either honestly. "Well uh..I guess I'll go change real quick."
-
"I'll meet you by the door." [b]She gets up. And honestly, she wasn't sure if they were a thing either. She was pretty sure they were, but not 100% sure. She guessed she'd figure that out later. She walked out of the room, presumably to the door.[/b]
-
Leone left the room as well to enter his own. He walked down the hallways a got lost for a good few minutes until he found his room. He quickly changed from his nightclothes to something more simple. A green, button up long sleeved shirt, the buttons were of a gold color and he put on matching Green pants and black shoes. He didn't bother spiking his hair today so he simply tied it up in a neat ponytail. Leone then exited his room, looking rather...uniform and he walked back to the entrance of the ship where he waited or met Ry.
-
[b]Ry was there waiting for him, in her orange and red robes. She now had a small device on her back, a small semi-sphere. It was her heating device. Her hair was still tied back, around her shoulders. She now had a pair of red shoes on, they kinda looked like sneakers. She still had her smile on, wide and proud. She gestured towards the door.[/b] "Lead the way."
-
"Alright then. I'm sure there's a bakery in the Dojo." Leone said, stepping outside of the ship and leading Ry as they walked. "So, which flavor of cake do you want? This is your day after all." He said, smirking as they walked. Leone wasn't exactly sure if there even was a place that sold cake, but he'd figure something out for Ry. [spoiler]Fun Fact: Leone likes Pound cake. As do I.[/spoiler]
-
"Uhh... What kind of flavors exist? You know what, I'll go with something you can't go wrong with. Vanilla." [b]She was very excited to try this cake. Leone made it sound like it was good. Really good, actually. Not to mention, this special treatment for her birthday was weird. Nobody had ever done anything like this for her... Also it dawned on Leone that the Dojo did in fact have a kitchen, so you should probably look there.[/b]
-
"Can't go wrong with Vanilla....actually Ry, can I ask you something? Do you mind...holding hands with me?" Leone asked Ry, he just felt like holding hands for no particular reason. He slowed down his walking pace so he was next to her, waiting on her answer.
-
"Leone... It'd be a pleasure." [b]She reached over, and tangled her hand in his. She smiles widely, this was new, but it was pleasant. It made her feel better to hold his hand, she was calm even when people passed. Now, if someone tried to talk to her, she'd probably freak out, however.[/b]
-
Leone smiled again as he thought about something. He went from freaking the poor alien out by destroying a wall and fixing it to living with her and getting her a cake. Granted he didn't look edgy as fuсk today, but still. They had reached the Dojo and eventually the kitchen. "I'll get the cake, if you're still uh..uncomfortable talking with people."
-
"If you could. I'm still not good with talking to people... At all. I should work on that." [b]Ry got lost in thought, thinking of ways to help herself. She had multiple options... Maybe Leone could.[/b]
-
"Come on Ry, don't put yourself down like that. I mean if you could talk to me, especially how I looked back then, you can definitely talk to anyone else. But, because this is your day I will get the cake for you..Vanilla right?" Leone said, trying to give her self confidence. I mean he was going to offer to get the cake anyways but one thing was on his Mind...did Ry know how people usually celebrate Birthdays?
-
"Yeah... I'd like it if you'd get it for me... I don't really know how to ask either, really." [b]She smiled at him, brightly. She really had no clue how humans actually celebrated birthdays. What was after cake? Did something come before cake and they just forgot it? Questions to ask Leone later.[/b]
-
Leone let go of Ry's hand to approach the counter. Then after what seemed to be 10 minutes of talking and waiting Leone finally got the Cake with Vanilla frosting in a plastic case of which he carried with his Stand, which to most made him look like a telekinetic. "Alright Ry. We got your cake, I didn't know whether or not you wanted something to say like 'Happy Birthday!' Or not so I didn't get it."
-
[b]So that is what a cake looked like. A circular pastry with frosting... Leone had talked about them as if they would be impressive to see. Oh well. Ry was sure it would more that make up for it in taste. At least, she hoped.[/b] "It's fine. Better than fine, actually! I get to try something new and not be terrified I'm going to be horribly killed by it! Wait, how hot is it? Never mind, I'll figure that out in a bit! I'm excited, if you couldn't tell!" [b]It was very apparent she was excited.[/b]
-
"Yeah I can [i]definitely[/i] tell." Either Leone over hyped it or Ry was just extremely excited..Leone couldn't figure out which but decided not to say anything. "Anyways, we should head back to the ship. Since we obviously just can't eat the cake with our hands, that'd be messy." He said, starting to walk back to the ship slowly and trying to make sure Ry was along as well.
-
[b]Ry was following behind him, her excitement showing in her walk. It was a kind of half walk, half hop. She had a wide smile on her face.[/b]
-
Leone was in a mental crisis at the moment as they approached back to their home. [i]Should I tell her? Should I tell her to lower her expectations? Oh God... Calm down Leone it's fine you can do this...[/i] He thought to himself and took a deep breath. "Now Ry....you should probably lower your expectations. Admittedly I hyped it up just a little bit too much, now I'm not discouraging you I'm just saying it's probably not going to be some heavenly dessert...Now if you don't like it that's fine." He said, exhaling the last of his breath. Alright he did it...he told her it.
-
"Leone... I've never had anything sweet before. You can probably see why I'm excited, besides, I've heard the cook here makes the best everything. I'm sure it'll be great." [b]Ry's smile doesn't falter at all, if anything it grew wider to try and comfort Leone.[/b]
-
"Oh come on Ry, you do have something sweet...me." He said, grinning like a little shit as they approached the ship. Leone was just trying to be smooth or something.
-
[b]Ry chuckled a little, then got right up next to him.[/b] "Now, if you weren't holding that cake right now, I'd hug you, but this'll just have to do." [b]She puts her arm around his back, and gives him a little squeeze. She let's go, and goes back to her original distance from him.[/b]
-
Leone smiled as they entered the ship. Then he stopped, trying to remember where the kitchen was, but to pass some time he spoke. "So...you're comfortable with like..me touching you?" He said, now remembering where it was and headed in the direction of the kitchen. "It's rather surprising to me actually, with you already comfortable with me."
