As Swann is filming Autumn as she is skating around outside of the Movie Palace, she can't help but be completely mesmerized by her. Autumn's beautiful smile, her cool sense of style, the way she seem so confident and sure of herself… To Swann, it's no wonder she gets butterflies in her stomach when she thinks of her. Especially Autumn's smile when it's directed towards Swann, there's no other sight more beautiful than that.
Too bad that she gets tongue tied too often to actually say those words to her. For now, she writes poems of the way she feels, but feels too shy to ever consider sharing them…
"Hey, Swann! You got any cool footage?" Autumn asks as she keeps drifting in circles around Swann.
"Oh!" she lets out as she comes down to earth again. "Yeah, I captured some really cool moments!" Swann says as she finally lowers the camcorder. She can't help but feel slightly guilty as she knows Autumn prefers spending time with her, not her camera. "You, um, you looked really cool, Autumn," she shyly says, trying to convey her enjoyment of spending time with her, though she isn't sure how well those feelings come across.
"Aw, thanks! I still feel awkward in front of the camera, but I guess it's gotten easier since I met you," Autumn aimed a sincere smile Swann's way, which brought back the butterflies stronger than ever.
For a moment Swann is considering filming Autumn's smile, to capture it forever, but a bigger part of her wants to save it just for herself. "You always look good in front of the camera," Swann wants to make sure that Autumn knows that. "You… you always look cool, you know…" The urge to twirl her finger is strong now, the uncertainty encompassing, but she is still holding the camcorder so she refrains for now.
"You're sweet, Swann." It makes Autumn happy to hear Swann's words, even if there is a part of her that feels… uncomfortable with taking center stage. But the way Swann looks at her with such open affection makes it easier. Wanting a bit of a distraction, she bring up their later plans. "So are you ready to taste total defeat during Game Night?" Autumn's smile has grown brighter and more mischievous.
"Yeah! Or, wait, no?" Swann takes a moment thinking about if she is ready or not, and in the end "I'm not going down without a fight!" she says with a smile, confidence steadily building.
