[Linhardt's just. Gonna try to get his face out of his hands. This is fine? This is...well, okay, not even close to fine but it's. Something alright.]

...It was still very...rude of me, to spring such a thing on you. [But...] So...I suppose this time I will ask. Would you perhaps mind too terribly, if we tried again?

[Beat.]

Maybe not here. Unless you wish to, of course. But...I do not know. You're the only person I've really grown to want to kiss, really.
