Here we go again.

You all better kiss.

[he will accept. . . a little cream]

That's pretty kind of you, Serpilia.

[he says with a grin as he takes a sip of his coffee. dark roast. . . completely black. . . just how he likes it. . .]

. . . I suppose if I'm completely fair, coffee is a pretty acquired taste. I didn't like it until I was older.

[nrangel]

[ A small frown at that comment. Kindness apparently doesn't last but so long. ]

If you start trying to talk like you're that much older than me, I'm going to kick you under the table.

[ There is no table cloth. Everyone would see her kicking him. She's fine with that. ]

Besides, I know plenty of little old ladies and little old men who love things on the sweeter side still.

[ordimame]

[URK--]

. . . n-- no! That's not what I meant. You're right! A lot of people never warm up to black coffee in their lifetimes.

[placing his cup down and waving his hands. couldn't be him, but that's okay. coffee is not for everyone]

I was just talking about my own experiences. . . not suggesting that your tastes might change with more time.

[nrangel]

[ Pacified for now. If she knew about people's take on the biblical angel thing, she really could have played up the idea of herself as an ancient and powerful being, and then really had something to say there.

Alas, as it is she was honest about her age as one of the younger people on the show.

Her feet stay firmly planted. No kicking happens as she takes another sip. His reward for walking that back is she won't hurt him further by getting the extra sugar she was contemplating. ]

If they do they do, but... I feel pretty confident that they won't that much.

[ Then again, she's tried some typically sweeter baked goods on the more savory side, and they haven't been so bad, so it's not like she eats nothing but sugar. ]

I'll still give you this shot to make me eat my words though.

[ordimame]

[IF ONLY HIS MIND HAD GONE TO BIBLICAL ANGELS INSTEAD OF MODERN ONES WHEN ASKING IF SHE WAS AN ANGEL??? but no, he is not that deep]

If one chance is all I have, then I don't plan on wasting it. Promise!

[easing back into another smile. he will make her the best cup of black coffee he can manage with a blend he is CONFIDENT will match her tastebuds]

[nrangel]

Looking forward to it.

[ Maybe...

She thinks she'll hate it, but it'll be an Experience, so that's kind of fun, right? She'll enjoy her very sugary coffee in the meantime while she can. ]

[ordimame]

[she may hate it, but the fact that she's willing to give it a try makes him pretty happy]

You know, I did briefly consider opening up a cafe of my own. ["briefly consider" sometimes he still thinks about it, even if he knows he never will] But it'd be way too much work.
