[Meanwhile, Fuuka just blinked at him. Was it something she said? Or rather, how is bark-beasts and buckets deem to be inappropriate to him? Whatever it may be at least she knows what he was talking about.]
O-okay then? [She said having no idea how to respond.] I guess this is similar to what happens when you have two people who just got married talk about? [She was being indirect about it but she too was blushing. Yes, this might as well be his world's version of 'the talk']
Then what else should we talk about? I believe this talk isn't quite appropriate so a public outing.
[She mumbled not daring to look up at Equius. Instead, she took a sip out of her drink and just...waited for a cue]
...talk of buckets is always very sketchy with my people. [He coughed and tried desperately not to turn completely blue.] Imagining it implies one's imagining how you fill it, and that's just not appropriate in polite conversation, even on a date.
[He coughed once and nodded.]
Perhaps you could tell me of yourself, human? Something that would tell me more of your interests?
[She still had no idea how buckets would automatically mean that it was a sex talk but she wasn't going to discuss it any further. Let's just move on and switch topics as soon as possible!]
W-Well, back home, I was always interested in technology. I have been able to fix computers and made random stuff from scrap materials I've found.
[She could also mention she's been able to hack into a high ranking company but...]
I haven't found the time to do that lately though. It's just been a lot of stuff going on with the war.
That is right. You are a technophile as well. It is a pity that the lowblood is not about. He has a fascination for computer networking as well. However, regardless... I may have chosen somewhat poorly in this date.
We should have gone to my shop's space and looked at the equipment. There could be some enjoyment in getting your hands dirty, even if the computing materials here are so infinitely poor compared to expectations for proper equipment.
[And, just like that, he had something to gab about.]
We can always go whenever we’re done here. I would love to see what you might have at your store! Even if it might be rather poor quality, at least it might be enough where I can make something? Or figure out if there is a use for them!
Of course, would that be alright with you? Or do you have something else planned?
[And just like that, all the awkward tension just disappeared in thin air]
Hmmm, what I have planned seems secondary under the circumstances. I think that these dates should be what we desire to do, yes? So the question is, would you like to come to my store?
[Better yet? The creepy Aradiabot isn't at the shop, but in his basement, so the gadgets were all 'normal' at his shop.]
I think we have that decided in that case. It is mostly mechanical materials along with some general storage for munitions, but I will gladly show you what I have. There's a few computational terminals I've fixed, but they're all painfully rudimentary here.
Pity Utgard is not available. They have better technology there.
But like I said, I think anything is fine. While I must admit, I did wish that the technology here was more advance, I still want to keep hopeful and that we can make something out of it. If I can make headphones out of some materials I found, I think I can make thing similar!
Utgard is a city to the north of here. It has more active technology than the magic that permeates this location. Advanced technological constructions are possible there, though they do not work properly here.
It appears that each city operates by its own rules.

But...mind if I ask what Utgard is?
