A chocolate surprise

[So it seems for a certain heart filled day, Caren had been working hard. Which meant...if She knew you, it was likely a small package was shoved into your hands.]

Here. Happy Valentines day.


A check up

[She could be found around her garden, or at her house, all bundled up, socks on her wings and tails. And she was...a very sleepy looking bean, but in smelling or hearing, she became alert, and glanced over.]

Oh. This is a surprise. What brings you here?

Open to All

But of course a lesson

[She had been unsure of coming but...she made a promise. If she didn't come, and she couldn't find anyone to conduct her lessons- or think of it- then she had to do it herself. She had to continue her lessons in Dorchact.

Also, she could reach all of her kitchen things. That made it appealing.

She was more animated here, for all that she was bundled up, and full of gesturing and explaining how to make a particular dish.

She even came around to give samples of biscotti and whatever dish she just taught, with a small smile and nods, offering comments and nods of encouragement.]

Did you want a sample? Or no?

Be ready to sew

[She didn't just work in the former Foggy city though. She still had shifts at Knit Wit, with the alterists. At least it met she had to sit for long periods of time.

But hearing the ringing of the door, she stood up, nodding politely.]

Welcome to Knit Wit. How may we be of service today?

Wildcard

Where anything goes! Want to see her at full moon? Bully her into napping? Or anything else! And if You have questions you can catch me on discord or on my plurk!

[judgementor]

Am I? How presumptuous of me.

[He smiles, and the expression lights up his eyes. Not something that happens too often these days.]

And in that case, perhaps we could do it together.

[showsnopiety]

Such cheek. But you're lovely, so you're forgiven for now.

[It's a nice smile, but they enjoy flirting together, so.]

Mm. That could be something we could do...do you have a meal idea in mind?

[judgementor]

Aha.

['Lovely', indeed? Well, it's a rare thing that he gets called that by anyone. It's an even rarer thing that the person doesn't doesn't want something from him.]

What's your favourite food?

[showsnopiety]

[He's pretty, get used to it Red Wine.]

My favorite? Mm. Other then pasta of any sort...I would have to say...mapo tofu? But that's impossible here.

[judgementor]

Ah? She'd be flattered.

[At least he's very aware that he's pretty.]

Perhaps we can approximate the flavours.

[showsnopiety]

[Even if she doesn't have wine, she can drink him up.]

Ah...maybe so? It can't hurt to try.

[She made a face, her ears flicking.]

There's just some things we can't get here, like tofu but...I also know that my tastes have changed a bit. It's a little embarrassing, knowing that I crave meat.

[judgementor]

[He hums softly in answer to that, understanding the distaste of certain cravings all too well.]

Do you only crave it, or do you need it?

[And that is a hypocritical question, but she doesn't need to know that.]

[showsnopiety]

...

[She hesitated. But in soft honesty:]

Both. It's truly both. I could eat more then I do, easily.

[judgementor]

Mm. I understand the discomfort.

[He smiles kindly and places a hand on her shoulder.]

But I hope you don't think you're lesser for it. I hold few here in as high esteem as you.

[showsnopiety]

[She blinked up at him, surprised. Maybe it shouldn't be so startled since she's been there for him but...still.]

It's simply part of what I am now. But...truly?

I don't see why. I'm sure you've met others, met better people.

[judgementor]

I have walked Tierra for hundreds of years and have met many people, but I have very particular tastes.

[As he does in most things - food, drink, literature - why would he not also be very particular about who he chooses to spend his time with?

And he has chosen, thus far, to spend a lot of time with Caren.]

What makes one person 'better' than another... is often entirely subjective.

[showsnopiety]

[She huffed gently, and made to nudge him. Gently though. She was aware of her surprising strength.]

You're full of flattery. Any other woman would be swooning at you right now.

[She isn't, but she's softened, a bit and ready to flirt more.]

[judgementor]

And not you? Clearly I need to try harder.

[It's a gentle jibe aimed at her. He doesn't expect her to swoon at all - in fact he would be very surprised if she did.]

Tell me, what would it take to make you blush?

[showsnopiety]

I don't swoon.

[She's too cynical for that. But at the question, she laughs quietly, and shrugs.]

And I don't know what would make me blush. I don't think I have ever swooned, much less blushed.

[Out of cold and embarrassment maybe. But that wasn't what he wanted to know.]
