He glanced up, eyebrows raised hopefully, "Really? Is.. is it any good? Try the suh-suh-suh-sausages- I actually...a h... t-tuh-took the suh-sausage tuh-tube... er...wh-whatever it's called from the caf-caf-cafeteria and muh-m-muh-made these special..." He urged. On it's bun, the sausage in question wriggled ever so slightly. The worms inside were still alive. "krrKIT!"

She gave a nod, her mouth was full so she couldn't speak, and a nod would suffice to answere both anyways. She swallowed, carefulyl setting the partly eaten sandwitch on one knee, careful to try and keep the sand off it, then take one of the sausages to try.
The movement breifly disturbed the remainder of her human mind... But normal food had made her so nausious lately that she had been sticking to a stricter diet of the bugs caught thanks to Newton's invention. And the occassional shellfish she could nab from the cafeteria... She could stomach those fairly well.
So without much hesitation she took a careful bite, drawing a hand up under her mouth as she felt it try and squish some. Luckally nothing spilled over, and she gave him a small nod as she chewed this one too, pointing to another sausage and then to him, urging him to eat as well. It felt a tad bold, but she felt silly being the only one eating.

"Ah- KrrKIT!" He swallowed befor glancing down at his own creation and then suddenly put together one for himself, "Ah... y-yes, s-sorry, I'd fuh-forget to eat if... if puh-people d-duh-didn't remind me... although... n-now I sup-suppose the fuh-food itself is a re-reminder s-since... since it c-comes with it's own buzzer, r-right?" He laughed weakly at his own joke.

She listened as she chewed, not eating unless you were reminded seemed a bit... Odd. And not good for him.
She swallowed, blinking at the laugh. That meant it was a joke... She gave a soft chuckle in responce as she thought. Bugs.. buzzer. It took a moment or two before it cliked, and releif and realization replaced that vaugly awkward look. And she gave a more geniune giggle, covering her mouth with a few fingers as she did so. Normally she didn't get puns in english, it felt good to finally catch one.
"I guess so." she added smiling still from the corny joke, before taking another bite of the wormy food.

He beamed at her, utterly proud of himself for his rediculous joke and seemingly successfull picnic lunch. Unfortunatly, he was running out of material to talk about. He took another bite of squirming hot dog, shifting awkwardly. "KrrrKIT!"

Natsumi continued to eat, letting the conversation fall into silence and trying to keep her mind off of the things like her stillbirth and Taro... It kept going back there, but she tried to ignor it for then... Refusing to cry on someone again, especially on a date of all things.
She did make a bit of small talk, marvling at the ocean, complimenting the dessert when they got to it, and the like.
And eventually they had finished, Natsumi was still smiling as she helped pack away the leftovers into the basket, keeping the maggot boquet in a free hand. She was quite pleased with such attention. It felt really good after everything she'd gone through that day and week... Atleast someone wanted her.
She stood as they finished, brushing off the bits of sand that followed her up. "Thankyou again. It was wonderful." she gave a polite nod-bow.

Newt beamed up at her, fidgeting anxiously, "I... I'm huh-huh-happy you enjoyed it..." He swallowed, turning to go about packing everything back up in it's basket.

She helped him pack before she had stood, though letting him finish with the few bits that had been closer to him. Waiting patiently to see wether he would walk her back to her duplex or if they'd go their seperate ways now.

He clutched the basket to his chest, smiling up at her fondly still as he gave an awkward, distracted, "KrrKIT!"

Poor man, those hiccups just never seemed to let up... Oh well. "Ready?" she piped hapily, cluthcing her hands together with the boquet infront of her, giving a glance around the sand to make sure she hadn't forgotton anything.

"I'll... I'll wuh-wuh-wuh-walk you back?" He offered hurredly, hopping forward while dragging the basket behind him.

"Alright..." she shifted somewhat shyly, starting back down the path towards her duplex, trying to keep a pace that fit with his hopping.

He followed in silence, keeping his head down untill they arrived and he politely stood to the side of teh stairway. He watched her nerviously, as though expecting something, "Ah... I... ah... sup-suppose this is it, th-then...? I'll um... l-let you... guh-guh-go back to um... y-your day. KrrKIT! Ah! Um... KrrKIT! KrrKIT! S-sorry." And he swallowed.

Natsumi lingered an moment, almost awkwardly, before he spoke. She didn't seem to notice the expectation... and if she had, she was acting as though she hadn't. She gave a nod, finding herself eager for a nap and just to be alone for a little while. Wether it was her depression kicking in or an effect from the change.. she wasn't sure. She just knew that she was becoming less and less eager to greet the mornings and finding herself falling asleep as the day dragged on.
"Thankyou." she gave a large bow, bending at the waist to almost a 90 degree angle, then standing straight again. Then she turned to her door, unlocking it and stepping in, pausing as she went ot close the tdoor to give him a smile and a wave then dissapere into the room.
Now... What do do with a maggot boquet...

Newt watched her go, his mouth sliding down into a frown once more as she dissappeared. Had she liked the picnic? She seemed like she had, but the frog man's parinoia and violent self conciousness came flairing up under his amphibious skin, tying his stomach in knots and making him stumble over his own long flat feet as he tried to hop away. Sure she had liked it! She was just sad, reason kicked in in the back of his mind, and she has every right to be, concidering- He had hoped to do a better job of cheering her, at least. He wasn't very good at that, evidentally. He'd have to try again harder the next time. If there would be a next time... what if she didn't want to see him again? What if he was just bothering her? His mind flew in every direction, making him feel worse and worse as he hurried away, feeling more and more embarassed.
He'd have to make a next time, then.
