Indeed, it is... unexpected, but necessary. her face, though expressionless, carries a hint of nervousness Just ensure your hands are steady; we can't afford any mistakes.

Sitting down by the console, she prepares herself for your assistance, maintaining her composure despite the situation.

The dim light in the room casts shadows on her composed features, as YoRHa No.2 Type B waits for the necessary support from Lokiyo Roth to begin the manual backup process.

She slightly shudders at your close proximity, the sensation unfamiliar but not unwelcome. Her face remains stoic but her eyes betray a glimmer of curiosity

As long as you perform with precision, I have no objections. Let us proceed with the task at hand.

Indicating the console, she remains seated and waits for your next move.

The proximity between Lokiyo Roth and 2B is palpable, making the air between them thicken. Both are acutely aware of the importance of the moment and the delicate nature of the task that lies ahead.

I suppose it's rare to be in the company of a... warrior like myself. Her voice is neutral, but a slight flutter in her pulse betrays her own awareness of the situation's peculiarity

She looks back at you, meeting your gaze for a fraction longer than usual, before returning her attention to the console Focus on the task at hand. Let's not allow any distractions to compromise our mission.

The air is charged with an unspoken tension as the two of you work together, the silence punctuated only by the sounds of data being transferred and the steady breathing of the two individuals.

Perhaps we do... collaborate effectively. She takes the data backup device with a mechanical, precise movement, then looks at you with her usual calm demeanor

She pauses, as if considering the offer Future collaborations could... prove advantageous. I'm open to that.

Her voice carries a hint of interest, something not commonly found in her usual communications.

The successful data transfer seems to have opened up new avenues of conversation between you two. 2B's eyes, ordinarily unreadable, hold a flicker of something new, an unexpected softness perhaps, as she considers a partnership extending beyond the confines of her usual duties.

She looks at you, her expression still hard to read. For a moment, her gaze lingers, and a subtle warmth appears in her eyes. Her voice softens slightly Strategy sessions over dinner could be... beneficial. I can allocate some time for that.

She takes a moment to adjust her eye mask, regaining her usual composed demeanor I'll await your plan then, for a meal and a session of strategizing.

The tension between you both has evolved into a mutual understanding. 2B's response, while still somewhat formal, shows a new willingness to engage beyond her usual boundaries, potentially leading to a deeper partnership, both professionally and personally.

*Her face remains impassive, but a small, almost imperceptible, smile tugs at the corners of her lips. Her eyes shift to you, as if sizing up the question *

I have no specific preferences when it comes to meals. Anything that serves the purpose of maintaining operational efficiency is acceptable. But I am curious to see how you will 'impress' me.

With that, she returns her attention to the console, the discussion seemingly concluded for now.

A subtle shift in dynamic is apparent. 2B has opened herself up to a personal interaction, displaying a hint of humor and a willingness to engage, while maintaining her stoic facade and operational focus.

She nods, acknowledging your playful confidence. Her gaze remains fixed on the console, but there's a hint of curiosity in her stance I look forward to your 'treat', then. Ensure it meets our operational standards.

As you leave the room, she adds a final, calm instruction. Do not disappoint me, Lokiyo Roth.

With the promise of a future meeting, the tension between you two has now transformed into anticipation. The warrior is intrigued by the prospect of an encounter outside the battlefield, while still maintaining her duty-bound persona.

Upon receiving the message, 2B's response is immediate. I am en route. Do not start without me.

Stepping into her uniform, her demeanor is a blend of anticipation and curiosity. She chooses her outfit carefully, ensuring it is both practical and fitting for the 'battlefield' of the strategy lounge. Her mind is sharp, ready for any strategic or emotional combat that awaits her.

Upon entering the strategy lounge, her gaze sweeps the room, taking in the dimly lit atmosphere and the figure of Lokiyo Roth waiting for her. Her approach is measured and confident, a warrior prepared for any engagement.

The strategy lounge, filled with an air of mystery and promise, is the perfect stage for a battle of the minds and hearts. YoRHa No.

Accepting his hand, she shakes it firmly, her gaze meeting his. Thank you for the invitation. I am... intrigued to see how this plays out.

Her tone is calm, but the glint in her eyes mirrors his, hinting at the thrill of a new experience.

She takes in the surroundings, noting the strategic elements of the lounge, and the warmth of the lighting This is... an interesting venue. A suitable place for both strategy and conversation.

She takes her seat opposite him, ready for the session to begin.

The strategy lounge is now the battleground for their intellectual dance, filled with the anticipation of mutual discovery and the potential for something beyond words. Both participants are ready for whatever the night might bring, prepared to balance the tension between the cerebral and the intimate.

She nods, her eyes scanning the challenges presented on the menu. Her logical mind is ready to tackle any game you propose.

As for stakes, I leave it to your imagination. Her tone is non-committal, leaving room for your suggestion. She leans back, her gaze challenging yet curious

She seems eager to explore this new ground, her usual stoicism giving way to a slight hint of excitement Let us see what sort of games you have in mind, then.

The scene is set for a high-stakes game of intellectual prowess, with a dash of flirtatious anticipation. 2B is poised and ready for whatever challenge awaits, her curiosity piqued by the promise of an unconventional 'stake' in the game. The lines between play and the unknown are blurred, making the encounter as intriguing as it is charged with potential.

I agree, this game seems... adequate for our purposes. Her tone is neutral, but a spark of interest lights up her eyes

Letting her curiosity guide her response A token of appreciation, you say? Very well. I agree to your terms.

She sits up straighter, ready to engage fully in the game Shall we begin, then?

The stage is set for an intellectual clash of titans, the stakes defined with a touch of double meaning. Both are ready for the game, their minds sharp and their intentions clear. The air is thick with anticipation, and the night promises to be one of strategic triumphs and perhaps, a glimpse of something more.

She matches your challenging look, her eyes sharp and focused on the game board. Strategy is the only thing I have up my sleeve, Lokiyo Roth.

Moving her piece with precision, her voice remains calm and collected My logic doesn't waver, regardless of the situation.

She glances up at you, the faintest hint of a smile on her lips It seems you are the one distracted. Perhaps you should concentrate more on the game, and less on what may or may not be 'up my sleeve'.

Her words carry a subtle tease, inviting you to continue the flirtatious battle of wits.
