That's a lot harder than you make it sound," Aliana shivered slightly as the temperature continued to drop, "Is it getting colder to you?"

Hatta blinked. "Mm. A little. Do you need a coat?" he replied, looking at her. There was frost in the grass now.

"Do you have a spare one?" Aliana asked hugging herself, "Becuase I would love one."

"Yup." He took off his hat and reached inside. He sighed softly, and pulled out a coat. It would be a bit big for her, but was better than nothing. He held it out to her.

Aliana took the coat gratefully, "Thank you." She took her backpack off for a moment to put the too-big jacket onto her body. She put her backpack back on top of the jacket and melted into the warmth it brought.

Hatta nodded. "Mhm. You're welcome." he replied with a little shrug. He kept leading her down the path. "I hope the entire maze isn't like this, though."

"I hope so too," Aliana responded, "Otherwise I'll be a popsicle halfway through."

Hatta chuckled. "I'm sure you would make a delicious popsicle." he replied with a cheeky smirk.

Aliana felt her cheeks heat up compared to the outside air, "No I wouldn't."

Hatta smirked again. "You sure? You look like you would." he replied, looking over at her.

"No," Aliana insisted her cheeks growing redder by the second, "I'm positive I wouldn't taste good."

Hatta raised his eyebrows. "Shall I test that out?" he asked, taking a step closer. "Just a taste test?"

Her face was flushed red, but she didn't try to run from him. Her voice stuttered, "What do you mean by that?"

Hatta grinned teasingly. "I don't know." he replied almost innocently, but the smirk about his lips indicated otherwise.

Aliana laughed slightly though it was partly from nerves, "Oh you know very well what you mean."

"I do?" he asked, smirking a little, and looking at her, eyes alight with mischief.

"You do," Aliana confrimed for him seeing the mischeif in his eyes. She wasn't going to stop. She just didn't have it in her too.

Hatta nodded. "Yes, but what do you think I'm going to do?" he asked.

"Kiss me," Aliana responded softly, almost ashamedly.

Hatta smirked. "Hm. That or lick you. I haven't quite decided. Which would you prefer?" he arched an eyebrow.

"I would rather you not lick me," Aliana said find that even worse than what could be in the maze.

Hatta chuckled. "Well good, I don't particularly like licking people, it leaves a strange aftertaste." Without another word, he leaned in and kissed her cheek. He pulled away after a moment. "Mm. Would definitely make a good popsicle." he winked.

Aliana felt her cheeks light up and she almost shrank into the overly large jacket. She had been expecting something else, but the cheek was enough, "I, uh, would be?"

"Yes. I mean obviously a cheek isn't a good test of your taste, but I was pretty sure you would have objected had I kissed you and shoved my tongue in your mouth, so a kiss on the cheek it was." Hatta replied easily.

"I would have," Aliana responded slowly as if just tasting the idea of rejecting what someone else wanted for the very first time. She really hoped Hatta wouldn't question further.

Hatta smiled a little, and led her along the path again. He started whistling yet again.

Aliana walked with him keeping herself huddled in the jacket to stay warm. How was Hatta not cold yet?

(gtg to bed now. Good night!)

Hatta kept walking, still whistling.

Aliana bit her lip and asked carefully, "How are you not cold yet?"

(Night!)

Hatta shrugged. "I don't know." he replied calmly.
