Since he had been confused by his emotions for the time being, Vitali wasn't really thinking all that much about any ulterior motives that she might have had. Instead, he was just thinking like someone who was, as she had figured, acting like he had recently been taken off track. All of these exchanges of words, he had hoped, wouldn't ruin anything between them. The fact that she hesitated for a moment or two also seemed to bother him.<br/><br/>After all, he wasn't sure if that time had been taken to be displeased with him. It could have very well been what was going on. Naturally he hoped very much that she wasn't upset. Still, there was a chance that she was. If that were the case, then he had done something very wrong.<br/><br/>Fortunately, she then nodded, which helped to assuage his fears. In fact, it almost looked like she had been ready to agree to anything that he said, regardless of what he had suggested. That made him a bit curious in turn, since he wasn't sure whether that meant that she was genuinely falling for him, or whether she had instead feared upsetting him and would do anything to prevent any further feelings of being upset.<br/><br/>Exhaling he then finally looked back up toward her with a shake of his head. He smiled, and decided to ask outright. "Have I hurt you by any of these things just yet? If not, well then, I think I'd like to go for a walk with you and show you a few things more than sit down."<br/><br/>That could have been both a benefit to him as well as a problem. Taking a walk could be a very pleasant activity, and it would have prevented any silences they might have had from being awkward. However, it could have also been extremely romantic. Certainly walking around was more romantic than just sitting there.<br/><br/>Whether that was a good thing or a bad depended on how she elected to respond. Despite his fears, it might have been exceptionally good in the end.
