Kasumi could have figured out most of this, but the opinions of others didn't particularly matter to her.
What was important was that she had a boy that she really wanted, and she was supposed to be with him for a very long time. That fit with what she wanted, and she didn't mind fitting in with the role of him being her 'Master'. But her preferred activities were less... violent than what this whole trainer thing was like, and she was perfectly happy with being with him in other ways.
Oddly enough, she was beginning to think that going up to these places and making exchanges was rather nice, at least with him. He called it 'shopping', and she liked that he seemed to enjoy being able to have her with him when he did it. At least, that was what it seemed like when he hurried off, smiling all the way.
Not that she particularly understood what was so special about the items that he'd gotten from the person behind the counter.
He seemed to be rather pleased with it, as Ash held up the pad and pencil that he'd brought. "See? Isn't this great?"
Cocking her head to the side, Kasumi looked down at the simple writing equipment and understood that he was expecting her to use them, despite the fact that they'd managed to communicate well enough so far. That didn't bother her though, as the idea of a more direct way to 'talk' to each other was quite appealing to her. But the way that she figured it was that she would learn how to speak his language soon enough, and having to use the things he held out wasn't exactly amusing.
Lacking interest in his purchase, she glanced around, wondering what she could do. Her desire to keep him happy was rather sizable, but she truly couldn't gather up much of a will to get into his idea. Rather, she enjoyed the scenery, and liked the sight of couples going around together. The idea of spending time in a more... intimate way was much more appealing than working such a simple problem out... especially when she saw one couple come away from a bench in a gazebo that was off to one side of the park.
So, she wrapped her arms around one of his and leaned in so that she could let him see her wide smile.
"Huh?" he went, growing familiar enough with her behavior so as to not be totally freaked out when he felt sizable, yet soft, parts of her anatomy press into his side. The fact that she started leading him along did confuse him though. "What is it? Is something the matter?"
"Mmm nnn...." she replied, shaking her head.
"Then what is it? It isn't like I'm exactly knowing what you want."
In response, she pulled lightly on his arm.
"Okay, I know that you want to go. But where?"
She eased her hold enough to point towards the spot were the white wood of the gazebo stood, looking rather scenic on the edge of a lightly wooded area, and a small pool.
"Oh. Didn't know that you were interested in that sort of thing. You want to enjoy how quiet it is?"
Her head wobbled from side to side slightly.
"What? Is there something else? Because, if there is, you can let me know now."
It took a moment, but her smile grew really bright after he spoke.
"Why do I have a feeling that something is going to happen?"
What he got in response was her nuzzling the side of his neck, running her lips along the edge of his chin before pressing a deep, yet quick kiss against his mouth.
Ash laughed nervously as he began to realize exactly what her intentions were.
Though Kasumi didn't particularly worry about what she wanted to do. His earlier instruction had said that they'd have to delay getting really intimate until later. Yet he hadn't said a thing about cuddling, kissing, fondling, and the rest of necking in general. Even a lay person would have known what the couple she had seen had been doing, and she was rather interested in following in their example.
So, as the worker at the kiosk watched, she guided him towards the gazebo, while:
