Ryu was beginning to wonder why he subscribed to the mentality that five minutes early was already ten minutes late as he brushed a bit of freshly fallen snow off his shoulders. It wasn't snowing particularly hard but the frozen crystals felt almost as if they were teasing him which in turn amplified the anticipation and anxiousness already twisting his stomach into knots. Were he to have arrived just barely on time, he would no have had any time to think and simply been forced to dive right into this blind date on instinct and whatever was left of his boyish Gryffindor charm alone.

He suddenly felt as if all the color had drained from his face (it hadn't and if anything his features looked more alive thanks to the cold air rouging his cheeks and the tip of his nose) when he heard her voice and saw her shadow in his peripheral vision. Closing his eyes, Ryu took a steading deep breath and pivoted to greet the poor woman persuaded to perform a bit of charity and go on a date with him. It wasn't her fault that he was exhausted by his father's antics, so he wouldn't be taking out any of his frustrations nor weariness on her and would do his best to show her a good time. Whether it was all that built up anxiety that did it or something...else...Ryu found all the air suddenly exiting his lungs and it was with great effort that was able to say anything at all. "Yes, and you must be Ruby," he replied with an almost apologetic smile before offering his hand for a shake which would turn into a quick kiss to the back of her hand - this was not a business meeting even if it sure felt like it since it was practically mandated by the Minister of Magic. "Thank you for coming. I...appreciate the effort." For coming out here, for putting up with his old man, for mirroring his own nervousness in her smile. "Has anyone ever told you that you have remarkable brown eyes?"
