[Even though she doesn't buy that helping Neera with the business is Ezra's main reason for the idea, she wouldn't complain about having familiar food around.
But that said--]
Why not talk with her about something other than fruit?
I- I mean, I could, but- I don't know if she'd be interested. We've only talked a little bit, and we've gone on a walk, and that- I mean, she's really pretty, and I'm just- She might just laugh, or... or...
[Good luck getting anything intelligible out of that jumbled mess.]
It's different. A walk is just a walk. You're just... walking down the street together and talking and that's it. That could happen any day even if you didn't ask. No one thinks anything about it. Getting food together is... is...
[Leia's really missing out by not seeing him in person. Such a beautiful sunset taking place on his coppery skin.]
[She came here partially to tease Ezra for his little crush, but now it's time for actual advice apparently???? Her tone is patient as she responds, any hint of teasing long since gone.]
Asking someone on a date isn't pushing. It's pushing if she refuses and you don't accept her answer.
[the answer is clearly try outrunning a gang of criminals with her by hiding in a dumpster. It's foolproof.]
The way I see it, the only way to know is to ask. And if she wants to remain friends, that's not such a bad thing, is it? You'd still like spending time with her regardless, wouldn't you?

[He's fidgeting again, glad she can't see it, and glad she can't see the pink in his cheeks. He can pretend he's keeping utterly calm and cool.
Too bad the amulets are so good at letting all those warm feelings through anyway. Sorry not sorry, Ezra.]I'm going to see if I can grow her a jogan tree. You know, to help her and her dad with their business.

[Jogans are one of his favorite fruits. He misses having them around.]
Hey, I'm working up to it. I'm just... starting with things we have in common.

[Which, in case Ezra isn't getting it, she elaborates on--]
About getting food with her.

She agreed to go on a walk with you. I can't imagine she'd turn down lunch.

It makes it look like a date.

[Getting right down to it here. If only she could see just how bright and red Ezra's face is at the moment...]

Well, she did meet her husband by jumping into a garbage compactor with him. Not exactly a comparable experience.]
I just want to make sure she's even interested in me like that. Maybe she only thinks we're friends.

[Ezra wrinkles his nose, not at the thought of being just friends with her, but at another thought.]
Well, I would, but what if she doesn't?
Look, I just don't think it'd hurt if I just spent some more time being friends first.
no subject
[But with that said--]
But, don't be afraid to just try and ask her out when you're ready. Or even just ask her to get a meal just as friends.
no subject
I'm not afraid, just being careful. I'm learning from my mistakes. That's a good thing, right?
Don't worry, Leia, I won't sit back forever.
