perfectmatch | week three

Ah, was I getting in your way? [ Said as he hands the basket back over for her to fill. ] Then, I'll be back shortly, Miss Odile. Please enjoy your tea-pondering in peace.

[ As he wanders off!

And a few minutes later he comes ambling back to offer her a transparent plastic take-out cup. It's contains a blooming tea, with a lovely, vibrant magenta flower sitting at the bottom of the cup, petals shifting gently in the pale tea. ]

[ The beautiful color is, unfortunately, lost on Odile. But it is lovely to admire on its own, and she inclines her head in thanks as she takes it from him. ]

You weren't getting in the way, for the record. I simply didn't want you wandering away with my basket.

[ Odile lifts the cup, staring at the flower as it gently shifts at the bottom, and idly holds out the basket of tea blends. Since he's been such a gentleman. ]

... I'm done now, though. All have been accounted for, including our gracious host. Shall we find a place to sit? I believe someplace slightly shaded if we traverse outdoors will do nicely, particularly if the weather stays pleasant.

[ His eyes narrow at the mention of their 'gracious host,' but he won't get into that; Rom just nods as he accepts the basket to carry for her.

If Odile's astute, she might note that it's not a matching blooming tea he has in his other hand, but a much plainer cup -- it carries the mild scent of genmaicha. ]

I think I saw some shaded tables outside that didn't look too crowded. Taking a quiet break sounds nice.

[ She is astute, and she hums somewhat judgingly at his lack of following directions before taking a sip. Florals are fine in her opinion, though she's got to wonder what made him choose it for her...

Something to ask. Along with the narrowed expression. Sometimes the opinions of others informs one of themselves. ]

If a man like yourself is capable of taking a break at all, [ light as it is said, there is meaning to it, ] then I would be glad to join you.

[ So she'll follow his lead on that, as much as she'll miss this tea paradise................... ]

[ Wouldn't you like to know, Odile. ]

Haha, I take plenty of breaks, though? It's always great stress relief when I decide to do a gaming stream, and any revenue made from those is just an incidental bonus!

[ Does Odile even know what streaming is ... Well, no need to worry about that, either way! Rom's quick to lead the way outside, holding the door open for her towards the little seating area just outside the store. ]

Not that our lovely estate is lacking in anything, but this is certainly a nice change of pace, isn't it?

[ She has only recently learned what an "mmorpg" is please spare her your nonsense. PopRompurina should be considered. ]

It is mostly nice to get away from the others, yes. They're all very... friendly.

[ Which is nice and she has enjoyed herself, anyone can see that, but-- ]

I've always preferred smaller things myself, five people at max. It seems most of us flourish among others though. Good for them.
