Newt stared down at his webbed feet wide-eyed, his heart racing. The snake man Thomas wouldn't come back to beat him up, would he? "I... I... I'll j-just... I j-just... um..." He swallowed, trying to calm himself further so he could speak again. "I'm s-sorry... I... I... had th-thought..." He suddenly reached up, trying to flatten his hair again and straighten his tie to make himself more presentable. "I... ah... th-thought w-we could go for a puh-puh-picnic..."

53. Good, not far. He nodded, bid them goodbye with a wave, then started away with his crutch to have a little chat of his own with Taro.

Natsumi blinked, not sure if she wanted Thom to go.. and just now placing the fact he was leaving with the fact he had asked for Taro's duplex number. For a breif moment she thought about stopping that... Instead, her mind bitterly argued that if Thom was planning anything.. he deserved it. He had hurt her more than he realized, perhaps more than she had realized.

So she ignored that... Deciding to pretend she had no idea where Thom might be going.

"Picnic?" Atleast she knew that word. "That would be wonderful." she offered another smile... This day was turning around quite nicely, and the idea of being outside in the warm sunshine was welcomed by the gecko in her.

She followed his motion back to the rather thrown about mess of food, starting over towards it. "Thankyou, you should not have gone through the trouble..." she noted polietely, as she reached the remaining food... Carefully, she knelt down next to the mess, starting to retreive the insects the best she could and trying not to pick up too much dirt and grime on their picnic meal. But seeing as they were bugs there wasn't too much more dirt and grime they could pick up that wasn't already there, so it wasn't too hard a task.

"I... wa-wanted to sup-suprise you..." he murmured weakly, looking flustered and embarrassed.

She found herself becoming very careful with his scattered creation... It was so sweet of him to try so hard, though she wasn't sure why he would... Whatever the reason though it made her fairly happy. It was nice that someone cared about her... More than one someone. Both Newton and Thomas cared... And didn't think poorly of her. Even if Taro's words still stung fresh in her mind this was working well for a metaphorical bandaid.

"You did." she reassured, settling some of the food she'd gathered back in the basket. "I think... it is still good, yes?" she shifted to peer back at her friend, gesturing to the recovered basket of food.

While she was still smiling, tears threatened at the edge of her eyes... Despite how happy she tried to act.

He was still hopping towards her when he caught sight of the tears, his thick brows raising over his enormous eyes, "Aaah... ah... d-duh-don't c-cruh-cry! D-don't cry! I'm suh-sorry for whatever I d-did j-just-" He frnatically murmured, reaching to take her hand.

She jumped a bit, trying to keep up her smile. "No..." she quickly tried to reassurehim as he grabbed up the blame for it, using her free hand to whipe at her eyes before any could spill over. "Not you."

He frowned at that, glancing up at her in concern, "Is... is... is everything alright? C-can... I wuh-want to help... m-may I help?"

She stayed quiet a moment, keep strong... don't cry again... It was so very unladylike in a way... To sob so loudly like she'd been doing lately. Childish.

Still, she'd felt like crying ever since that fateful saterday. Taro had only made everything worse. Instead of dwelling on that though, she tried to replay what reassurance Thomas had given her before Newton arrived. And after taking a moment to compose herself, she shook her head. "I have just had a bad week..." she gave a soft chuckle to what seemed like the understatement of the century.

Feeling it was time for a subject change, she picked up the basket and moved it towards him again. "Is it alright? The picnic...?" She gave another fuss over her eyes, and then to her hair some. It was a breif pat down of the strands that had gone stray in all the commotion, making sure they covered her lack of visible ears.

"I... I h-hope so..." He smiled weakly, "Ah... ah w-we can... can eat whereever you'd like..." He just wanted her to have a pleasent time. He was frantic to help after seeing what he had seen.

Unknowingly, she had tucked the maggoty-boquet inside the basket, initially mistaking it for just another peice of their meal. And with a light smile, she pushed herself to stand, shifting her stance to find something comfortable with her large awkward feet-Though the act was second nature by now. The basket in her hands now, to keep himf rom having to carry it in the awkward way he had to.

Eagerly accepting the distraction she gave a mild thoughtful look... Picnics had to be set in nice spots, thats how they worked... and preferably somewhere sunny. "Aa... The beach? Maybe?" she felt awkward chosing the spot... But she was rather hungry, and somehow felt she wouldn't get to their food fast enough if she fought chosing a place.

He beamed at her, pleased with the turn around of his success rate with this endevour. Things were going well! "Ah... W-well, then... after, after, after you!" His mouth twitched as he held it in it's smile, as though he weren't used to having it on for so long.

She turned towards the familiar path down to the beach.. She loved the sand and warmth of it all. Not to mention the lovely view of water...

She stopped as the path ended, moving towards a nice shadey spot. While she had no idea amphibians needed wet skin... she did realize he was wearing several layers of clothing in the middle of the day, and as such assumed he'd rather be in the shade.

She settled herself in her normal fasion of sitting, placing the basket in what would now be the middle of their sandy table. Her tail shifted int he sand, finding a way to streach itself out of their shade to pick up some sun. With that... she clasped her hands together giving a light bow of her head in respect to all the trouble he had put into the meal. "Itadakimasu." Normally, she'd keep that in her head... however since he had made this meal she felt it only right to give thanks for it.
