[This is a disaster. Maybe he should just give her chocolates and run far, far, far away and forget about her. The thing is...he doubts that would be possible, especially the last part of his plan.]
It is! You didn't... [What a mess, pull yourself together, Sigma.] I just...I wanted to give you this.
[The moment Sigma shows her the box of chocolates, Diana learns why he's been scooping up these papers just with one hand.]
Thank you for taking care of him.
[Slowly running out of excuses to talk to her, Sigma's mind is racing. What else should he say...there must be something...]
[ Well, that might just be the exact opposite of what she's expecting, goodness gracious. And to think she was fretting so much for a second, there...
It doesn't hit her just how much she needed a gesture like that until she sees the box of chocolates. It's so nice that she actually starts to tear up just at the sight of it, when she realizes just what's going on here. ]
Y-you really don't have to thank me. I'm just...you know, doing my job, is all...
[ She sniffles, ever so lightly. God, she really has been having a rough go of it lately, to think she's going to start crying just over a stranger giving her a box of chocolates... ]
Is there really such a thing as a person who doesn't like chocolate...but really, thank you. I honestly really needed something like that today, it's been...well, obviously you could tell, I'm sure.
[ She tries her best to stifle a laugh, but it comes out through a few tears. God, what a rollercoaster... ]
...Besides, usually you ask a girl's name before you invite them to coffee...
[ At least he's not the only one! Her heart's kind of going a mile a minute, but at least he seems cute, despite the fact that he's built like a ton of bricks? ]
W-well, if you want to meet up somewhere, I'd, um, prefer we did it somewhere a little further away...here's really not the best place. I-I mean, it's been so busy here recently, so it wouldn't be fair to you if our conversations were cut short because I had to run to another patient's room!
[ That, and, you know. Sometimes a certain someone likes to make surprise visits and throw a bit of a fit. ]
I work late nights most of the time, but, if you wouldn't mind waiting until the weekend...
Wait, she didn't refuse? Sure, he tried to be charming and all, but Sigma was worried that he may be a bit too fast. It might have been the very first time he was so anxious about it, too. Which he's going to realize later.]
O-Of course. We can meet wherever you want and anytime you want. Just name the place and I'll be there.
[ Nah, it sounds like it could be fun. He seems like a sweet person, giving her chocolates like that. And honestly, she could really, really use the time away from it...
Besides, he seems a little nervous. ...A lot nervous, really, but. It's the least she can do to make up for making such a goshdarn scene. ]
You're the one asking me out, aren't you? Here, I'll give you my number...
[ She hastily scribbles down a number towards the bottom of one of her pages on the clipboard, and folds it up to give it to him... ]
You can figure out the place before then. I drive, so it's not like I'll have any problem getting there...
Sigma has just realized that he might have been mistaken about Diana; a shy girl wouldn't be joking like that, would she? But that's a good sign and Sigma finds himself grinning at her shortly after.
Which is something he should do after they part ways, but it can't be helped.]
Alright, I'll call you right away when I find the right place. I shouldn't bother you any longer, should I...?

[GOOD JOB, SIGMA...YOU'VE MADE HER CRY...]
P-Please don't cry...it's nothing, really...oh man, where do I have them, damn.
[The least he can do is to look for some tissues for her.
Well, if it was any other girl, he'd probably offer his shoulder nonchalantly, but he can't afford to pull that off, can he?]
If you don't like chocolates I can take you out for coffee.
[Obviously it's not the reason behind her tears, but a joke might make things a little better...?]

[It's a miracle that Diana is alright after meeting his muscles, really.]
Do I? Oh, of course I do...what's your name, then?
[You go, boy. So smooth...]
no subject
I'm Diana. And to whom do I owe the pleasure?
no subject
Sigma. It's nice to meet you, but it'll be much nicer to meet you after work, I think...
[Ah, this is really going quite nicely. Now he just has to watch out not to ruin it.]
