[Kotone doesn't get surprised easily. When she does, it's usually pretty subtle! But this time, Dara's treated to the younger woman's wide eyes and dropped jaw because oh?! Luckily, the surprise quickly shifts into delight, because while Kotone might have had a crush on the Shinjiro back in her world, that had been a long time ago and isn't even the same Shinjiro as the one Dara's talking about.]

No idea! [she informs brightly, which probably isn't the answer Dara is looking for, so she continues quickly,] But you gotta try! I'm pretty sure he's not the type to make the first move, so you gotta just, [and she claps her hands together to mime a sudden action,] Go for it! He won't hold it against you if he's not interested, but I bet he will be!! Who wouldn't be?

[Like damn for all of her talk about ~not being attractive~ Kotone's absolutely certain that Dara definitely is. And hey, even if Shinji's not interested in dating, it's always nice to be asked!]
