Weiss had told Blake to go with something near red or blue, as those were Sun's favorite colors. The dress she found was of black and white, her normal colors that she wore but with accents of red earrings and a necklace around her collar, high and resting on her collar bone with a soft blue bolero to cover bare shoulders from her dress.

While rather nervous, Blake did her best to calm down mostly because it was just a simple date. But also nervousness hit because of how her hair was done. The fringe swept aside, framing her face while half pushed back and curled under her cat ears to curtain down in soft curls behind her. She kept her cat ears out completely, a rare first but a showing of the trust she had in him.

Hearing the door, she finished hooking a bobby pin to keep her hair in place and ventured over, opening the door for him. Well, he certainly looked different than even the dance. A good different, of course.

"Hello." She greet with a small bow of her head. "Are you ready?"

Sun opened his mouth to greet her, but it ended up just hanging open when the words left him. So there he stood, mouth agape looking at Blake as she stood there in front of him. She even left the bow off of her ears, which does make her look cuter, like he said before. Those butterflies in his stomach were in full force right now as he tried to will his body to respond to him instead of making him stand there looking like an idiot. And here he'd just been telling himself to be cool.

“W-Wow, Blake.” He hadn’t been sure what he was expecting her to come to the door in, but whatever it was, she had absolutely exceeded the vision that he had for her. He cleared his throat a bit and tried to regain his composure.

“You look..so amazing, Blake.” And she was looking this way all for him. A part of him felt like he wasn’t worthy of it, another part of him was freaking excited that she put this kind of effort into dressing up for him.

"I'm so ready." He holds his hand out for hers.

Watching him just stand there, she blinked curiously and looked behind her as if something else caught his attention. Not seeing anyone there, she looked back with her cat ears giving a small twitch.

He spoke and he gave a small smile while looking down at herself, smoothing the dress along her front.

"Ah- thank you. I was afraid I might not of picked something you'd approve of." She confessed shyly.

With his outstretched hand, she nodded and slipped her hand to his, stepping out of her apartment and closed the door behind her. "You do look very handsome this evening as well, Sun. I hope you're at least comfortable?" She asked, slightly teasing given he always enjoyed very little since it wasn't cumbersome.

He starts to lead her down the hallway so they could leave the apartment complex.

“I’m glad you think so.” Sun wouldn’t have been dressing up if it was anyone other than Blake. Well, if it was a formal event that he had to go to, then he might dress up. But he would have worn the bare minimum.

“I’m comfortable enough. I go to a Tailor shop in Vale. The guy does some amazing work.” Sun wiggles his tail a little. The hole in his pants back there was tailor cut just for his tail. Doing it himself could be a hassle. He’d ruined a couple of pants before when he cut the hole in them too large.

“But you know, I can’t imagine you wearing anything that I wouldn’t like.” Her normal outfit was fine. And when he found out about how she was dressed at the dance, he’d approve of that too.

"That still does certainly sound strange. We're in a strange world yet the ghost of our world still is here? Definitely like a dream." But at least those close to her were there with her and they certainly made the dream a little more bearable to deal with.

She couldn't help looking down at his tail with a small smile. Him wagging it was awfully cute but at least it wasn't tucked away and hurting him like when they tried to dupe Zuko (which didn't go very well).

"That's still awfully flattering of you to say." Emphasized with a small squeeze of his hand with her own. And it truly was. As a young Faunus, she always believed herself to be nothing more than a street rat/cat. Picked on, ears tugged on, she believed she'd just be a boring girl and well she kind of did turn in to one. Books were her comfort and she often let the dressing up to Weiss. She'd obviously never be that Princessly. "I hope my ears don't look too bad with everything, too."

“Your ears look absolutely perfect.” He’d told her before that she looked cuter with them out, and it still held true. He was aware of how big of a gesture it is for her to be out with him without the bow hiding her Faunus heritage. Though granted they weren’t going to Vale or anything. Still, he understood.

He squeezed her hand back as he lead her out and then started down the path to head to the archway. “I think you are really going to like the place that I picked out for us. And if you don’t, I found some backups.” He wanted to be prepared, but from what her teammates have told him, he chose the perfect place. Still he couldn't help but feel a little nervous about it.

It was still a challenge an even if she felt a little on edge, with time she'd soon not even realize they weren't tucked away. It also made for a much more comfortable time. She had been so used to tucking them in the fabric of the bow that they often got squished, folded or itched. Finally being as nature intended was a relief.

Happily, she followed his lead. He did seem to know more about this place after all, from the names and locations to other small details and of the people that inhabited. With a small smirk she glanced up at him. "You didn't have to do all that. No matter what you pick I'm sure it's perfect."

“I did. This is out date and it should be at least somewhat perfect.” Or at least as close to perfect as he could manage to get it. “And I didn’t want to end up with some place that you only say you like so you don’t hurt my feelings.” He genuinely having a good time was important.

“How does it feel to be out in the open without your bow? Do you feel naked?” He honestly wasn't sure how long she had been hiding her ears throughout her life.

"Well, that I can admire. Effort like that seems to sometimes only happen in books, from what I gathered. So, it is a rare treat." And it was. She'd never been asked to go out on a real date before. Mostly confined to what the books said about how things wet for two characters in their fictional world. Actually living out something like that, with someone who was willing to put their heart and soul in to it, was like a fantasy.

Glancing up, she felt her cat ears twitched while her free hand went up to touch the base carefully. "Yeah, I feel a little naked without my bow. It's liberating and a little scary... I spent so long hiding them that I had forgotten what it was like to not have to worry about it.

Then you came along and discovered my secret with one look." She laughed shyly.

“Well what can I say? You just know another Faunus when you seem them sometimes.” What was the most impressive thing was that she managed to hide them from her teammates for as long as she did. Did she sleep with that thing on or something? And if she did, did none of them ever wonder about it? It seems like one of those things people would be curious about.

“Just don’t forget you aren’t alone.” He pokes her back a little with his tail just to drive that point home. “We are two young Faunus’ going out on a date without having to worry about discrimination or weird looks.” Unless Blake decides to give him one of her weird looks.

“This is the sort of thing that you wanted to accomplish in the White Fang, isn’t it? Faunus being able to go out and do normal things like this without a care in the world.”

"And here I thought I did so well in hiding it." She teased. If it ever hurt, she'd sleep under her covers in her little den the made for herself, but mostly she would have to keep it on during their night times. Mostly her team would chalk it up to her having just fallen asleep while reading, neglecting to remove it for another night.

Showers were just as hard. She had to make sure to wrap the towel around her head to dry her hair before being able to get her bow back on to hide her ears. All those stresses with him that night, were completely gone. She didn't have to worry about all those tricks of hiding.

Feeling the poke made her straighten up a bit and look behind her before she did realize it was his doing. She reached behind her with her free hand and gently touched his tail with a smirk. But soon hearing that, she glanced down with a nod.

"Yeah, at least when I started there. Equality for everyone. So two Faunus' could just walk somewhere and feel safe; not judged and more importantly, accepted. Over time the demands went from pleas to violent riots and I didn't want to be apart of that." She took a deep breath and glanced up at him.

"I really hope my skills as a huntress will allow me to at least work towards that dream. No discrimination."

He swatted her hand lightly with the tip of his tail. But it was done playfully. “It’s going to take a lot more than just you and your skills as a Huntress. We will need to work hand and hand with humans to end discrimination.” It would be a long and hard task, but in the end it would be worth it.

Sun had no idea if that was something that he would see in his own lifetime, but he hoped he would at least get to see the steps taken towards that goal.

“We might not be on our world, but you get to experience that tonight.” They would both get the experience. They were probably going to be two of the first Faunus to ever get it.

“And you get to look really cute while doing it, too.” If only Sun had a camera so he could take a picture and show Neptune if he ever manages to show up.

"Of course. I have indeed learned that not all humans are bad." Thanks to her friends but she also learned that humans could be just as dangerous as The White Fang. More specifically, Torchwick and whatever his plans were.

"But, you're right. We get to experience that little bit of what we're working for tonight. So let's make the most of it." She said with a small nod before giving a small and light heart scoff. "I look ridiculous, but thank you."

“Blake. You do look ridiculous. Ridiculously good. I’m the luckiest Faunus in this or any world.” With Adam being the only other Faunus here, it wasn’t that hard to be the luckiest. They are coming up to the Archway for Attleton now. And when they reach it, he steps through it with her to get there. And now he turns so they can head towards the Tokyo sub-archway.

"Did you wear something like you have on now at the dance back home?"

"Now you're the one being ridiculous." She wasn't used to these kinds of compliments. Modesty aside, she also wasn't deserving of them given the past. Sure she was attempting to make up for it but she still had a long ways to go to atone for her sins and make everything right and being trapped in another world wasn't helping that along at all.

Coming to the Archway, she glanced up and around in slight worry for seeing something rather new, foreign and different. Cat ears slightly betrayed her with folding back against her head but trusting in him, she took a step through it only to have her ears perk once more as she looked around.

"Not really. The dance was- sort of last minute I guess. But it was purple with a teal bow. Nothing too fancy... I didn't know then your favorite colors were blue and red."

“Weiss said she was supposed to find out what my favorite color was. You could have just asked me personally, you know.” He didn’t miss the point that she had on red earrings. They stood out so well against her dark hair. They looked really good on her.

“You don’t have to dress in my favorite colors just for me. As long as you pick out something that you like and feel comfortable in, I am happy.” And honestly, the dress she had on now was so stunning that he couldn’t picture her wearing anything better than that tonight.

“And I know that yours is black, but I despite my coat, I don’t think I pull it off nearly as well as you do.”

"She seemed intent on it. I figured on asking you but- I guess she beat me to it." She mentioned and glanced up at him with a small smile. "I guess she's nosy like that."

Curiously, she tilted her head and looked at his coat the back up at him. "Oh, you knew? I guess it wasn't that hard of a color to figure out huh? You do look nice in it but- the same goes for you. You could of been in bright orange and I'd still be standing here."

Sun laughs a little at that after trying to imagine himself in bright orange. “I think I would stand out pretty well in some bright orange color.” But he was pretty sure he would look pretty tacky in that too.

“I’m glad we both somewhat manage to match.” Sun he gives her a smile. “I know it must make us really look like a couple.” Cute is the word he could imagine people describing them. His tail perked up a bit behind him at that thought.

"You certainly would be hard to miss that's for sure." Maybe just a little clashing in colors. What he normally wore was nice. The white certainly balanced how just how tan he was and his hair was akin to sunshine. Even more when it gave a light glow once he called his Sembience. That was a little thing she didn't miss at all, even fleeing Torchwick on a moving vehicle.

"I guess it does, doesn't it?" Something caught her attention with the sudden movement and she glanced to her side to see his tail perk up slightly. "Does it do that normally when you're happy?"

“Huh?” Sun looks back and gets a little sheepishly and he consciously lowers his tail and tries to keep it out of the way. “It just..maybe sometimes..but..don’t pay attention to it.” Was he embarrassed about that? Maybe a little. He never noticed when his tail perked up like that, so having someone else see it and know why it was doing that was a little embarrassing.

It was one of those few things that made having a tail inconvenient. If Blake’s ears did anything when she was happy or excited, he didn’t notice. At least not yet, since she liked to keep them covered up.

Blinking, she reached out and carefully lifted it a bit as it lowered down. Sure, she might of been hovering her hand a little too close to his rear but she liked seeing his tail happy since it usually indicated a happy Sun. "It's cute." She said simply.

Glancing back up at him, she gave a sheepish shrug and motioned up towards her ears. "They give away my mood sometimes. At least when I was younger. I'd have to make sure my bow never twitched when something caught my attention and if caught, chalked it up to the wind or denied it."

"What's worse--" She leaned a little closer to him, playfully lowering her voice in a whisper. "--I sometimes purr. That's a lot harder to control."

“People have no idea just how much we have to control our ears and tails sometimes.” He said with a little amusement in his tone. It was nice to know he wasn’t the only one cursed with an appendage that liked to have a mind of its own.

One benefit to being a monkey Faunus, he didn’t have to worry about the whole purring thing. Sun smiled pretty wide at her divulging that secret, though. That was something he would like to test out at some point. Just to see how true her words really were.

“I bet. But..” He leans a little closer now “What makes you purr the most?” He wasn’t asking for any real reason, at least that’s what he would say if she questioned why he wanted to know.

"Nope. They certainly tend to have a mind of their own." She returned with just as much amusement. It was nice to talk to someone about something they both physically shared that made them who they were. An odd sort of connection that only they, and others like them, would truly know.

Thinking on that, she realized that it certainly hand been a while since she really had purred. A long while actually... "Probably having my head scratched. It's been so long I almost wonder if I even remember how to." She lamented with a small shrug. "I catch myself very rarely nearly attempting but stop myself. Simple things, really, as silly as it is, like a warm bath or a particularly warm patch of sunlight from the windows."

"You're lucky you don't have to deal with that, huh?"

Sun was tempted to scratch her head, but that felt like something that should be done in private as opposed to blatantly out in public. And he didn’t want to embarrass her. At least not with something like that.

“I think I am going to make it my goal to have you purr before the night is out.” He says with a little nod. How he would accomplish it, he didn’t know. But he would find some way to do it.

“I am. Though I don’t have that extra sensitive hearing like you do but..I think not purring is a good trade off for that. At least for me. You have no idea how much my team wouldn’t let me live it down if they randomly heard me purring.” There would be so much teasing. Even if it was just Neptune that heard it, he knew it would somehow get to Scarlet and then to Sage.
