As she stopped in progression towards the car, he haulted just a few feet behind her and turned to follow her body as it retreated back towards the door. For a moment, he thought she had changed her mind and was going to leave him standing there on the front lawn. But when she gestured one second and started to dump all of her belongings on the front step, he realized she had forgotten something. What? Well, who knows. Still, he watched her in amusement because .. let's face facts here, it was pretty damn entertaining, watching somebody scatter their possessions all over the sidewalk. With the awareness that she needed to find the keys in the mess of items, he was almost distracted from the bit of rambling about the purse itself. He'd never really paid much attention to women's accessories but he glanced at the bag for a moment, curious how you could even carry so much in a bag that small. Or, well, perhaps it wasn't really small at all. It was one of those spaces that was so incredibly disarming and dishonest, looking so much smaller on the outside than it was on the inside. Like houses could be sometimes.

When she stopped mid-sentence, holding up the keys, he grinned. He'd stood silent the entire time she was searching, his hands tucked into the pockets of the jeans he had on. He was being patient, letting her take care of what she needed to. Though that probably had something to do with the fact that he was still trying to figure out what they were going to do in his head. Looking at her shoes, he knew full well that they weren't really the kind of shoes you did things like play mini-golf or drive go-carts in. And he was almost certain she wouldn't want to do anything that might get her outfit dirty. Of course, he hadn't yet learned about the outfit being Dani's at that point. Still, that made getting it dirty even less of an option. So paintball was out! Not that he was honestly considering any of these things. He had a feeling if he even suggested anything like that, she would think it was a knock on her age. And that wasn't at all true. He was just trying to find something fun that they could do together. Something less .. stuffy than going to a fancy restaurant. Of course, who said they needed to go to a fancy one?!

Waiting on the sidewalk as she went back inside, he pondered moving to help her clean up the mess on the ground but he wasn't sure if she would freak out about him going through her stuff. Women could be incredibly complicated and some of them went off about the silliest stuff. He'd already upset Jilli once to the point where she'd barely talk to him and .. well, he didn't really want her to stop talking to him. He enjoyed talking to her. And maybe she didn't want to be just friends, but being friends was the best place to start anything more than that. Not that his pondering really mattered much. Before he was able to take action in either direction, she was back out the door and gathering the fillings of her purse, stuffing it all right back in. When she stood up and thanked him, slipping right back into the conversation from before without skipping a beat, he laughed outright. Hopefully, it wouldn't come across as offensive as he wasn't aiming to be that way. He was just honestly amused by her ability to do things like that. Asher found himself distracted far too easily to just jump back in without a reminder of where the conversation left off. When she took the flower, the laughter settled into a smile and he nodded. "You're welcome." And thus followed the ramblings of the outfit belonging to Dani.
