Noboyuki was about to choke on his cigarette after what Rena just said. He indeed started coughing a bit. It was something really sudden, even for Rena. He never thought a princess like that would be asking HIM of all people what kind of woman he liked. He figeted around a bit. His cigarette was also already at the end of its life, so Noboyuki threw it to the ground and stepped on it to put it out. He finally cleared his throat, but that didn't take the awkwardness away from the thing he was just about to answer. He scratched the back of his head and thought of how he could best answer the answer suddenly put over him. 

[B]"Hm, I.... Well, I.... I dunno how to answer that, to be honest."[/B] He laughed nervously a bit, as he beat around the bush to answer. He could lie his way out of this, but.... [B]"I think.... I'd like someone who is, well, kind of... my contrary? I mean, maybe someone with a strong will, straight forward and if a bit naive. I dunno, maybe someone that, even though they act strong, they still want someone to protect them. Something like that? I dunno if that is a good answer though."[/B] For the first time, Noboyuki blushed furiously and was remarkably flustered when Rena asked him something. 

He had to turn the tables on her, though. He didn't like being on the teased side, after all. [B]"A-A-Anyway, are you crushing on someone right now?! I bet someone like you has at least some guy you'd like to be dating right now, right?! Or at least, you've got your type of guy well defined by now! Unless you are still as naive as you seem!"[/B] Noboyuki lost his cool for a bit as he pointed at Rena. His blushing became three times more intense as he shouted that, and his voice echoed through the woods. [I]'Hell, I am getting dragged into this. I need to stay calm.'[/I] Not that he could undo what he had just done, seeming almost like a teenager being asked what kind of girl he liked. Well, it was the first time he was asked that, and he felt it almost impossible for him to lie to the girl in front of him. He sat back down. He'd have liked to take back what he just said, but since the thing was already done, then why not hear what the girl had to say?
