“ Hmm... I kinda like that actually. Or simply ‘Team Do Our Best’ would be less of a mouthful,” he noted with a chuckle. To be fair it still seemed to be on the easy to make fun of side if things, but Matt was sure they’d be fine with that name. It was catchy enough for people to chant if they started doing good. An idea soon popped into his head, and he was a bit surprised it had, especially considering what the idea was. Then again, there was.....“ How about a wager on how well we’ll do?” he then asked, wondering if she’d agree to that. It was a bit crazy, but he knew what he was going to ask for if they ended up winning somehow, as that was what he wanted to bet on. He just had to wait and see if she’d agree to the wager.Tag: kaylee māhealani mahi'ai

April 19, 2025 "Hmm…" Matt thought about it, too, and he said that he kind of liked the idea of that last one. "Or simply ‘Team Do Our Best’ would be less of a mouthful."
"Yes!" Kaylee grinned. That way, they were under no obligation—by the virtue of their team name—to suck or not to suck; they were simply there to try their best and ideally enjoy themselves in the process.
"How about a wager on how well we’ll do?"
A wager? Like a bet? Kaylee shrugged her shoulders. "Sure," she agreed, not seeing any harm in it. Matt didn't seem like the type of person who would make some outrageous bet for however many Galleons he could think to get away with, some debt that she wouldn't be able to pay up without a hassle.

He chuckled at her enthusiastic response, noting that it was probably the only real bit of hype they'll have going into this. Still, it was energy that would help them do better than they probably even expected, and that was important. Even if they weren't all that likely to win. Still, there wasn't a need to be competitive, so neither of them were really going to be. Then again, Kaylee had a lot of spirit in her, being from America and all." Okay so, if we toss out more than say... 20 gnomes, we go on a date. Not a blind one set up by a roulette, one we choose to do," he said as his wager. He immediately wondered what her reaction would be. They had gone on that blind date before, but he wanted something that wasn't the result of some random roulette. Besides, if he was being honest, he had a bit of a crush on her. He knew she wanted to go to back to America after her Hogwarts days, but her personality was just... magnetic. Best way he could describe it, really.Tag: kaylee māhealani mahi'ai

April 19, 2025 "Okay so," Matt began, "if we toss out more than, say… 20 gnomes, we go on a date."
Kaylee wasn't sure if she had heard him correctly, but she kept listening. It wasn't as though they hadn't gone out on a date before, because they had, but that one had been set up by Blishwick Matchmaking.
"Not a blind one set up by a roulette," he added, "one we choose to do."
As strange as it might have been to agree to a date with someone based on an activity at a festival for which they were on a field trip, Kaylee wasn't opposed to what Matt was proposing. They had been on the Blishwick date, and that had gone well… She didn't see any reason not to agree to another date with him.
She looked at Matt and smiled. "…Deal."

She had said deal, and that internally threw him off, though he did blink slightly as an immediate response. He took a chance and Kaylee actually seemed inclined to the idea? That or she was confident enough that they weren't going to get that many thrown out that the date wouldn't happen? Still, he was also surprised she didn't offer up a counter bet on if they threw out less, and that drew his curiosity." Deal just like that, huh? No counter bet or anything? Just deal to what I'm betting?" he asked, wondering just what she might say. He had no real way of knowing if she was going to put out a bet of them dating even if it was less than 20, or if she'd propose some other idea. She had agreed a bit too easily it felt like, and as such Matt couldn't tell if she was interested in dating him or not. That would just have to be something he found out now, wouldn't it?Tag: kaylee māhealani mahi'ai

April 19, 2025 “Deal just like that, huh? No counter bet or anything? Just deal to what I'm betting?” Kaylee laughed. It wasn’t as though she had ever bet on much of anything before, and she hadn’t stopped to consider that she could place conditions on the bet counter to what Matt had bet her. While she could have placed a counter-bet to Matt’s bet, she didn’t exactly see a reason to do that. “I mean…” she paused, voice trailing off, “I don’t really mind?” It was slightly embarrassing, maybe, but she was telling Matt the truth. She really didn’t mind the thought of going on another date with him. If he thought that the bet he had put out was meant to be some sort of a punishment on which she should have had to consider before accepting, he was… maybe sort of… wrong? She could feel her cheeks warming as she spoke. “Like, it’s really no big deal if we… you know, go on a date again…” The way she saw it, it wasn’t as if they were exes. And he was nice, and there didn’t really seem to be any strings attached… unless the gnomes were included in that.

" Well how about that? Heh, alright then. Maybe next time I won't feel like I have to hide it as a bet," he then said with a sheepish chuckle. He disguised it because he wasn't sure if Kaylee would've said yes. Regardless of how well things had gone on their blind date, he was still unsure about if she'd have said yes to him asking her on another date. That said, she agreed to it, and it left him a bit surprised that any girl would agree to a date, but did leave him feeling a bit more confident. Even still, it was someone he had gone on a date with before, though now they were getting to decide where the date would be." Well lets go take care of some gnomes and we can decide what we'll be doing on said date afterwards," he then suggested to her with a smile. He was a bit more focused after that, which surprised him some. Then again, he'd told himself earlier in the calendar year that he had to live and not keep himself inside some sort of shell. This was really just the start of that, and he wasn't about to let himself backslide from it at this point.Tag: kaylee māhealani mahi'ai

April 19, 2025 Matt still seemed surprised that she had agreed to the possibility of a date with him; though, chances were good that the conditions of the bet they had placed would be easily met. He seemed to realize that, too, openly making a comment about how maybe he wouldn’t have to hide the offer of a date within a bet next time. Kaylee said nothing at first. Really, she was shocked. Where had that come from? She gave a slight laugh at the thought, awkward as the situation was. She wasn’t laughing at Matt—it was just the thought that he apparently had been planning to ask her out that took her aback. “Well, let’s go take care of some gnomes and we can decide what we'll be doing on said date afterwards,” Matt suggested, filling in the awkward silence that had formed between them. “Wait… You… really wanted to ask me out again?” Kaylee asked as they continued towards the Gnome Toss, trying not to sound so surprised that he had possibly planned it. She didn’t exactly think of herself as anyone’s “dream girl”, so to speak. She was just… Kaylee. @johanson

" Um well... yeah," he replied with a slight chuckle. He had to admit, he was a bit surprised by his own willingness to ask her out due to his long running shyness and lack of confidence. They got along really well, and worst case was that they opted to remain friends, and that was his thinking on the whole thing. There was no way of knowing what would happen if he hadn't taken the risk. Still, it was still fairly abnormal for him to take that kind of risk, at least to most people." I mean our first date went good, so why not take a chance and see what happens?" he then said, knowing he'd still likely be asked why. He wasn't sure if she would be asking out of surprise that he asked or out of surprise that he asked her. It was true he hadn't picked her at random, and he wasn't being desperate either. Of course, trying to justify his choice beyond just how well the first date went was going to be a challenge. He just had to not shy away from it.Tag: kaylee māhealani mahi'ai

April 19, 2025 Matt, with some hesitation, admitted that he had been wanting to ask her out.
Although she knew that Matt was a little shy and the type of guy who wouldn't have loudly proclaimed his liking her to the world in any case, Kaylee blushed. It was sweet, she thought. Especially because Matt was more reserved, that he had made the effort meant that much more, really. She hadn't seen him as "boyfriend" material before—even on their Blishwick date—but she supposed that that was also because she hadn't been looking.
"I mean," Matt reasoned, "our first date went good, so why not take a chance and see what happens?"
Kaylee knew that it must have been awkward for Matt to admit that he had wanted to ask her out before that, and she didn't want him to feel embarrassed or as though she was only agreeing to it because she didn't want him to feel bad. She would have found a way around it if her motivation was pity for him. She would have found a way to let him down easily.
While she was still trying to figure out how she, of all people, had caught a guy's attention like that, she smiled and shrugged. "Yeah. Why not?" she agreed. They weren't committing themselves to anything serious right away. They could just see where things went, as Matt said.

Matt knew he had taken quiet the gamble asking her out, but he did like Kaylee and really wanted to see where things went. Sides he doubted he'd be able to ask a girl out as easily as he just did at any point in the future if he didn't do so. Confidence boost yes, but at the same time he was asking out a girl he had interest in. He was surprised she agreed ultimately, but in a good way as it drew a smile to his lips. He was excited about this, even if it was along the lines of one step at a time rather than rushing headlong into whatever was ahead of them. It was just the safer bet." Awesome," he said the smile still on his face. He was quick to change his mind back to what they were headed towards, his eyes looking at the gnome toss. " First up though is the gnome toss, and that's going to be difficult. Think we can handle this?" he then asked with a grin on his face. He knew she'd likely answer in the affirmative, but at the same time it never hurt to check. Especially since they got distracted by the dating conversation they had, as that would distract anyone and likely everyone if they weren't careful.Tag: kaylee māhealani mahi'ai

"Awesome." Matt smiled briefly as they continued to move in the direction of the gnome toss. "First up though is the gnome toss, and that's going to be difficult."
He had a point. Gnomes could be temperamental when they wanted to be; they were considered to be pests for a reason. They would have to focus on what they were doing, and Kaylee made a mental note to keep whatever the scoring system was in mind as she tossed some gnomes around.
"Think we can handle this?"
Kaylee met Matt's grin with one of her own. Just because she was a Slytherin, that didn't mean that she couldn't take on a challenge; she just thought them through more than the average Gryffindor. The worst that could happen, after all, was that one of them would get bitten or scratched or something like that, and that wasn't anything that magic couldn't fix. "Of course we can," Kaylee reminded him. "And, besides, my mom's a Herbologist. That's gotta be worth something, right?"
