Django was a little nervous. Scratch that, he was incredibly nervous. He had never really been on a date, except for hunting expeditions with his brother, but even those involved some sort of disaster on one side. He was in casual wear, though it was more formal than anything he was used to. A long-sleeve button up shirt and black slacks.

He became even more nervous, and a bit fearful. He was afraid Akito might be driven away by his unusual skin tone. He knew that Akito was his friend, but he was unsure of how he would view vampires. He had several scenarios playing in his mind and most ended negatively.

Django took a deep breath. Everyone he was close to would have to know and those who would stay by his side would only form a deeper bond. He approached the entrance of the castle and stood out of the way, waiting for his blind date to arrive.

Akito was a little late, it figured- without his AT he was much slower- even as he stepped a little quicker along the corridors. This wasn't as exciting as ATing through them... but well. He was smiling... but he was mostly down. All of his friends had disappeared and he felt... lonely.

Sure, there was Aang and a few others... but- they weren't from his world. It was... well. Never mind for now.

At least Agito would never leave him.

Smiling brightly at that thought he arrived at the entrance and waved at Django. Blue skin? Akito gave a curious look but waved cheerfully nonetheless. "Hi!"

"Sorry I'm late. Long corridors."

Django smiled and waved back, enthusiastically.

"It's okay! Those corridors took me a while too~"

He dug in his pockets and pulled out a map. Unfolding it, he held it up for Akito to see.

"The town is very close by, just a few minutes by walking." Django said with a smile. "There are some restaurants marked where we can eat in or take out for a picnic. There's a horse stable over here, so if you want to ride one, we can!"

"Oo. There are maps?" Akito leaned over to glance at the map in awe. He hadn't even thought of looking for one. Oops?

"You can ride a horse? Akito is kind of scared of horses." he pressed his lips together and tilted his head. "But if Django knows how, Akito will ride!" There was no harm in trying anything new, right?

He had been to town a few times but...

"Yep! They just appeared on my desk one day." Django smiled.

"I haven't rode a horse before, but they're not scary at all! They're real gentle!" He gave Akito a reassuring look. "But if you don't think can ride one well, we can always get carriage ride!"

His voice faltered a little, but picked up as if his confidence hadn't retreated for a moment.

Akito beamed at Django and gave a nod, "I don't mind what we do, Akito has never been close to a horse before so..." All was good really. He giggled and gave the other a pat on the arm.

"This place is strange, things just appear and disappear." Including Ikki and the others, he looked a little bit dejected at that.

But well... there was nothing else to be done. He'd just have to wait until he went home himself... or they came back. Or something.

Django bit his lip slightly, noticing Akito's slight change in mood. He gave him a pat.

"They'll come back... Or you'll go back home and everyone will be happy..."

He folded up the map after memorizing the location.

"Should we get lunch first?"

Akito looked up at Django and grinned, "Of course, Akito will just have to wait~!" but he looked seriously more uplifted at those words and nodded.

"Food sounds good, I haven't tried eating out in town."

"Has Django eaten in the town? Are there any good places?" he seemed back to his normal bubbly self. After all, life was good right? It was not like he was alone.

Even if Ikki and the others were not around.

"I haven't tried, but I'm sure there's a lot of good places!" He answered. He held up the folded map and winked.

"Some really good ones were already circled~ All of them will pack a lunch for you for a picnic too! The one I wanted to try is an Italian restaurant, so if Akito wants to try it, we'll try it!"

Akito gave a nod, "Italian sounds great." he gave a peace sign and a nod. "A picnic sounds like fun, Akito hasn't done that in a while." A very long while. He felt mildly sad about that... because it would have been fun to do it with... well. No, he was not going to think of that.

"Come on!" he grabbed Django's hand, flashing a childish smile and began tugging him down the path.

Django smiled brightly as Akito began to tug him outside. He nearly winced at the sunlight, but remembered that conviently placed bottle of extra-powerful sunscreen. Thank god for that...

"The restaurant should be..." He took a quick glance at the map. "Over there!"

He pointed towards the west side. He matched Akito's pace and smiled. So far, so good.

Akito was an easy going guy, he didn't mind most things and he liked most people. Unless they were mean, but everyone seemed so nice so far. It was all plesant.

"Goody!" Akito cheered and released Django's arm to skip up ahead.
