Log:
[To say that John was "looking forward" to his second date with Rose would be a gross understatement. He had barely been able to sleep the night before they left and ended up knocking on Rose's door at five in the morning because he'd finally given up on the notion of sleep entirely. Plus, weren't you supposed to leave early for camping trips?]

[Unsurprisingly, Rose hadn't expected him that early. She'd given him a very bleary look, stepped back into her room to give her clock a bleary look and then asked "...are we leaving 'lready?"]

[Even less surprisingly...she'd fallen right back asleep the minute they had both clambered inside Elliot and gone on their way. But that was okay. Because she had fallen asleep on John's shoulder and he had absolutely no qualms with that at all.]

[And then a few hours later, his excitement wore off and he too fell asleep. Wow, their trip was off to a great start already!]

[Elliot wasn't the fastest pokemon but fortunately, being a ghost, he didn't really need a lot of sleep. So their four day trip ended up taking only two. Once inside the forest, Elliot went back inside his ball for some much needed rest while the two kids shouldered their packs and began walking through the forest, hand-in-hand.]

[Surely this was going to be the best camping-trip-dino-hunt-vacation-date-extravaganza ever! ~~Also possibly the first ever, because seriously, who besides John would come up with something as crazy as this?~~]

I don't suppose she could find herself exulted either, could she? [[John, she is loving this word game. Absolutely loving it.]]

I suppose she could! Though what about deliriously overjoyed? Or do you think that's a bit too strong? [He knows. Why do you think he started playing it?]

That might not be strong enough! I'm tempted to say even unequivocally rhapsodic may not be quite adequate. [[You know her so well, John.]]

Oh shit! You think so? I mean that's really quite emphatic! Anything more overjoyed than unequivocally rhapsodic might be deadly! I would think it incredibly easy to simply explode from such high levels of rapture. [It's his job.]

[[And you just won the game. What's your prize? Other than an impressive amount of giggles from Rose?

A quick peck to the cheek before she squeezes your hand and dashes ahead of you.]]

Perhaps we should do our best to keep her from becoming so exhilarated in the future!

[Hooray! Finally he wins something! Score one for Egbert! Oh hey wait where is Rose going? IT'S NOT A RACE, JEEZ.]

Pfftt. Like that's even possible.

[[All this talking about excitement just happened to have gotten her a little excited too is all.]]

We can still try though, can't we?

[STILL.......oh hey, is that the tent? That sure looks like the tent.]

I guess. Just don't be too disappointed when it turns out to be a futile pursuit! [Jogging a little to catch up to her.]

I assure you I shall refrain from rising the bar of my hopes too high.

[[Home sweet home! Or well. As homely as a camp can be. Slowing down once she gets close enough, she waits outside of the tent for John.]]

Good, I would hate to see you disenchanted, discouraged, or otherwise crestfallen should we fail to soothe the over-excitable beast. [There, he caught up. Happy now?]

[[Quite, if that smile and gigglefit combo is any indication.]]

I give you my affiance that there shall be no feelings of despondency, dismay or embitterment to be found.

Wonderful, as such a spectacle would only serve to break my heart entirely. [And unzipping the door now! After doing so, he gestures inside.] After you, my lady.

Well I would never want to break your heart. [[Said with just an ounce more seriousness than the situation really calls for before slipping her shoes off and slipping inside.]]

Why thank you, my dear.

And if you continue being your wonderful, perfect self, you never will! [Slipping off his own shoes and following suit, only to be half tackled by an over-excited blur of fuzzy brown and cream.] Woah!

...mm. [[Watching the two a moment, she chuckles softly and sets the blanket down.]]

Did you miss John, Casey?

[What kind of question is that?! Of course she missed her Daddy! Asking that is like asking if the sky is blue or the grass is green! The answer will always be yes. The bunny in question nods vigorously, keeping a firm grip around John's waist. John, meanwhile, twists awkwardly and works on trying to zip up the tent entrance.]

[[Taking over for him, she moves to finish zipping the tent, kneeling down to give Guile a few strokes before watching the Espeon walk over to rub her face against John's cheek.]]

[He smiles up at her once she gets the tent closed again.] Thanks.

[He then turns his attention back to the pokemon, giving each of them a few scratches on the head.] Who's hungry, hm? [At that, Casey immediately releases him and moves back a bit, eyes practically sparkling. Apparently that's one thing John has managed to teach her: "Daddy can't feed you if you're hugging him." Once free, he moves over towards his backpack and begins digging through it.]

[[Guile, too, backs off and waits patiently. Though not nearly as excitedly as Casey. Still though, her tail flicks in anticipation as she watches.]]

Of course, John. I'll work on our own dinner.

Alright.

[And a few moments later, he's managed to procure dinner for both pokémon. Carrots for Casey and...whatever it is Espeons eat. Yup. That sure is what Guile just got. :|b]

[Once they're both happily chewing away, he pulls his pajamas out of his bag and briefly disappears outside to change. Because even after a week, he's still not going to strip down to his boxers in front of his girlfriend, nope. That's just weird and ungentlemanly. Once back inside, he settles himself on his sleeping bag.]

[[When he's returned, there's a variety of fruits and veggies on a plate for him, as well as a few strips of jerky. Yup. This is dinner to Rose. :|

But where is she? Well the rustling in her sleeping bag may be a clue.]]

[It's okay. John's not picky, he'll eat pretty much anything so long as it's not a baked good or contains peanuts. Though he is a little confused as to why she's hiding in her sleeping bag.]

Uh...Rose? What are you doing?

Changing.

[[And with that, a shirt and skirt are pushed out of the head of the bag, followed by a pair of socks. And then more rustling as she slips her pajamas on.]]

I had a feeling you would be rather quick, so I figured I would save you and your eyes the displeasure and simply change in here.

[OH GOD SHE'S NAKED IN THERE.]

[Turning a little pink, he turns around on the spot and closes his eyes tightly, slipping his hands under his glasses.]

A-Ahh...th-thanks? But it's not that it's a displeasure it's just...that's n-not really appropriate. I mean! It's not like I want to see...err. Okay I'm just going to shut up now. [Because he's either going to sound like a pervert or like he doesn't think she's pretty. Best option is clearly to just stop talking.]

[[That last part earns a pause, before she merely chuckles and brushes it off as best as possible, slipping on her shorts.]]

I was teasing, John.

[[Well not really, but best to ease his mood. Slipping out of the bag, she blinks at him being turned around, then shakes her head before getting out completely so that she can go pick out something for herself to eat.]]

You can look now.
