...Huh?

( She looks at him like he sprouted a second head. Guys? Why would she be talking to guys??? Okay, she is talking to one right now, but not talking talking. )

I've never thought about how to talk to guys. I'm not interested, so if I screw up it's no big deal, you know? If you're wondering how to talk to guys, you'll want to ask someone else. Sorry!

...Huh?

[ Wait, what? She's not...she wants to go pick up girls? Seriously?

Oh man, that's actually a way better situation than he thought! She really doesn't look like she would...as if he has an idea of what exactly that's supposed to look like. Sweet. Except-- ]

Wh--whoa, whoa! No, no, no! No, that's definitely not what I was implying!

[ HE IS NOT TRYING TO PICK UP GUYS! His hands go in there air and he waves them as if he can dispel the thoughts entirely that way. ]

I just thought...you know, you were talking about flirting and--

( That...is an oddly defensive reaction. Soleil would be very suspicious if any part of her actually cared. She is glad Nina isn't here for both their sakes. )

Yeah! Flirting. Imagine if all the girls are wearing skimpy things like we are? Eheeheehee!

( Soleil bounces around in a circle. She is so full of excitement that she could explode. )

This'll be paradise. I bet I'll even break my record. Getting nine dates in one day! I can do it!

[ Oh, he's imagining it. It's hard not to imagine it, but thinking about trying to pick up guys similarly dressed kind of cancels out his excitement. ]

...Nine!? Wait, that means...you've had eight dates before? In a single day??

Honestly, I've probably beaten that record already. But it's easy to lose count when you're excited. So, I forget to keep track.

...Does it count as one date or two if you're out with two girls at once? I've never been clear on that.

T-Two girls at once...

[ This is it.

This is where Yosuke just gives up. There's no way he can compete with that--granted, they're obviously looking for different girls at this point, but...but still! There's no way, no way he can even get one date...

Yosuke hangs his head a little dramatically. ]

There's no way...

Uh. Are you okay?

( It takes a moment or two before Soleil's daydreaming wears off and she notices Yosuke sulking. She knows that look. )

So. You don't have much luck, huh?

Fine! I'm fine...

[ Just here. Yes, sulking is a good way to put it. Sulking in his total lack of swag. ]

...That's a nice way to put it, yeah.

Uh. Oh...Jeez. Come on, don't pout like that.

( Now she feels bad. She isn't sure what she did, but she feels bad. Did her overwhelming swag crush this boy's hopes and dreams? )

Turn that frown upside down. You already agreed to be my wingman, right? I bet we can get you a date. Eventually.

I'm not pouting.

[ He is totally 100% pouting. Cheer up, Yosuke. The more pathetic you are the more you're making a case for why this never works out for you. But her swag did totally crush him, yes. Crushed his spirit, hopes, and dreams all in one fell swoop. ]

The whole point of a wingman is to get you dates. Besides, the girls that are going for you aren't really going to be into the idea of a guy, you know?

Hey! That sort of self-defeating talk is going to set you up for failure. Chin up! Stand straight! Smile!

( To show her point, Soleil stands straight, shoulders wide, and with her hands at her hips. Swag is a state of mind. )

It's kind of against my best interests, but...come on! We'll get you a date. But first you need to believe.

[ His eyes inevitably skip down to her clamshell-clad breasts at that. She doesn't mind him looking a little, right? But they move back up to her face soon after.]

...Wait? Really? Seriously? You'll do that for me?

( Her indifference toward being checked out by men is so great that she doesn't even register that Yosuke checked out her shells again. )

Yeah, sure! You seem nice enough. I'm not going to do the work for you, but I'll do my best to whip you into shape.

[ Hey, they're some very nice...shells. Yeah. It's hard not to look. ]

Oh man, that'd be great! Advice on girls from an actual girl...that's definitely better than anything I could've come up with.

Hehe, I've never tried giving advice on it before. I kind of doing all naturally. But I'll see what I can do.

We can walk and talk, right? It's kind of weird being stuck in a giant...sand castle.
