[They've reached the Observation Room by now and Anemone floats inside and up to the big window showing the cosmos. There's nobody in here right now, so they've got a little privacy.]
I'll definitely ask her about it.
[She muses, looking over at a nearby gas giant that frames her purple plating with a gentle orange.]
The Universe is beautiful, I'll never get tired of this view. There's so much to know about it though, and I always feel like I know too little.
[Donnie steps over to the windw, so immense that he could believe there's nothing between him and space beyond. It's frightening and beautiful, and he's come here a lot whenever he just needed to try and not think of anything else, or at least in his case, get his mind off of certain things by finding other things to think about.]
I know, right? It's pretty overwhelming to realize that there's so much I don't know out there. But at the same time... it's exciting because there's so much out there. And it's all new to us, even if it's been there forever.
I like that there's always a lot to learn. It'd be pretty boring if you knew everything, right?
[Anemone considers this as she lowers herself elegantly to the ground, sitting with her tail to the side. From here, she and Donnie are at eye-level, a position she enjoys being in.]
Yeah. I like that. It's better than feeling overwhelmed and frustrated about all the things you don't know. Still, the feeling that I'm missing out on something because of something I don't know really gets to me sometimes. Maybe it'll go away the more I learn about things in general.
By the way, did you need to speak to me about something? Unless you just wanted to hang out.
No, I get that. It was like that for me when my brothers were using magic and I couldn't wrap my head around it. It's still strange knowing access to it now, and not knowing what all I can do with it.
[He looks at his hands before shaking his head and those thoughts away as Anemone brings up his initial reason for coming by her room.]
Ah- well, hanging out is a bonus. [Donnie grins shyly, scratching the back of his head then as he looks between the starry space outside the window and Anemone.]
I um. Well, I wanted to ask if you'd like to go to the Hope and Harmony Ball that's being hosted on Aureole Memoria.
I guess the event's kind of an annual thing, and the first one I went to was really neat but... I thought it'd be nice to actually have someone to go with this time, and there isn't anyone else I'd rather ask.
[It takes Anemone a moment to process that she's been asked to a ball, and when it finally clicks she covers her face with her datapad in flustered delight as she struggles to make words come out good.]
Um! You're asking me? I-I mean, of course you are!
[She lowers her datapad, her golden eyes and lavender core glowing brighter to show her joy.]
I'd love to!
I was thinking of asking you actually... but you beat me to it. I'm glad, because you're the only person I'd really want to go with.

Hey, can't have you always being the one asking me out!
...but I'm glad too.
