Her head shook no quickly.
"N-no. You're ... my first date of any kind I've ever had. Who'd have thought? My first with Light Yagami. That's ... quite the feat." She almost choked on the water she had been sipping at his last compliment.
"...T-thank you. That ... means quite a bit." By the time she set her glass down, a bit of the lipstick smeared off on it, hinting - if he hadn't noticed it - she did indeed have make-up on now.
Finally, he went on to the Kira subject. Mentally noting the answer regarding his father and to see about doing more research later, she smiled to him.
"With all I've heard, I'm sure you'll get there soon enough." Though he supposedly agreed, anyone could technically do that and be lying. Still, she noted it all the same in case this wasn't an act she was hearing with her own ears and simultaneously seeing with her two eyes.
Despite how brief it had been, she did still see the shocked look that had crossed his face. She didn't see anything that could have caused it ... but she knew she hadn't been seeing things either. Still, she kept her smile upon her face as she nodded.
"Sure. I was taught early on why patience is such a good virtue to embrace." Watching him leave, it at least allowed her time to think.
First thing was first ... she needed to fan her face and try to make some of the crimson fade. He hadn't - thankfully - brought that up. Her head began to rest on her forehead ... but stopped, recalling she had put concealer on and didn't want to ruin it. Closing her eyes, she reflected upon a specific phrase he had said not long ago in regards to Kira.
"He is harsh on criminals, though I won't say they don't deserve it."
Why would someone who's supposed to be biased believe criminals deserved death by Kira's hands? That alone definitely made her wonder quite a bit. Taking some of the bread, she nipped on it as she continued to think.
Damnit L ... I wish you could speak to me somehow. What am I missing? There was something you had to have seen in him in order to have suspected him. What did you see that I'm not? An internal sigh was heard as she added,
Forgive me. I probably look somewhat like an idiot dating the person you were so certain to be the man we're seeking out. But I really am trying to keep this professional, I swear but ...
Her head lowered as a low but now audible sigh left. It really hadn't helped that Suki had never had the chance to tell L of her feelings. Her head shook as she wiped away tears that had nearly escaped her eyes.
Not now. Get a hold of yourself. And that was when both Light returned and the appetizers arrived. Bowing her head lightly to him, she smiled softly.
"Oh no ... it's fine. I looked rather stupid getting hit by all my binders and books earlier. Don't worry too much on it. Though, you okay? You paled for a sec, almost like you saw a ghost or something. At any rate.... trying?" Her head shook no, some of the crimson still on her cheeks,
"You ... definitely are doing that, Light-san." Lowering her head slightly, she murmured softly,
"Itadekimasu." before beginning to eat.
