[For Ramza's dare, he cannot risk asking permission. It would doubtless send her dashing off to her horse. And he has so few people he can even consider for this.
So instead, he approaches, and leans down to kiss her forehead before she can shy away. There. Now, time to beg forgiveness.]
[She's stunned, but for far more reasons than just the obvious one. She's wearing a bandanna on her brow so it's not like it was all that bad. But as he apologizes, she falls quiet, and actually seems more nervous.]
No, um. No, that's fine. Actually, there's something...er...
[Well if he wasn't mad at her for everything else she's screwed up in the past, she doesn't think he'd be angry about this. Even so? She clasps her hands together and bobs her head.]
I'msorryaboutthis.
[Her hand touches his face to guide her as she stands on her toes and dives in for what's supposed to be a peck on the lips. There, she fulfilled all of the dare criteria!]
ANYWAY wow, it's getting late, I should be...yup, it's time to go! Here, horse!
[Rialynn stops in her awkward shuffling escape, but doesn't turn around to face him. She just stands there stiffly, shoulders lifted, fists at her sides. There's no good way to answer that question. If she says yes, he'll take it to mean she has no warm regard for him at all. If she says no, it'll embarrass them both.]
[Her heart thumps a little faster, and her hopes start to rise. She still can't turn at look at him quite yet because she knows her face is on fire, but her head moves just a little in his direction.]
[Wow... Coming from him, that seems like it's kind of serious. Ramza's honest, she doubts he'd say anything he doesn't truly mean. She turns partly in his direction, looking back. This is new. And this is scary. But it also stirs up an intense warmth and happiness she hasn't really felt before.]
[But what should she say to that? It's hard to know. ...Which is why she just stands there for several seconds with a crooked, sheepish smile on her face.]
Yeah...I didn't mind so much either.
[Maybe next time, she'll linger longer than half a moment.]

...wait. Was that...was that for a dare? [Nothing else would make sense, would it?]

..............Mostly.

You need not apologize. I...did not mind....helping you for the dare.

Would you mind if it wasn't for a dare?

[He is not well-versed in the arts of romance...but Rialynn's kiss was gentle, pleasant. It is not something he would try to avoid.]
