week four | mingle

[marriagebroker]

Final week at the estate! Final week with your friends. Final week with your beaus. Time to make the most of it, everyone!

In fact, to celebrate this fact, today there is a cake. It's nothing special, just a nice little cake to enjoy with your morning coffee or throughout the day. Yay, cake!

And when Wei Wuxian arrives that morning, he is going to call out once again for everyone to join him, near the cake.

"Everyone, I have another announcement!"

Hell yeah, announcements.

[ Was it... No, not in her own eyes -- and not in Messmer's, with the sureness of how he spoke. Though she could hardly guess his reasoning when compared to her own. ]

Congratulate yourselves on trusting well, then. Do you want something, other than my company?

[phenomerom]

Not at all~ Is it so wrong to just want your company, Miss Odile?

[ Despite what he said, he's definitely a little tipsy with how extra annoying he's being. ]

We're nearing the end of this long journey! Won't you share at least one drink with me?

[researcherstory]

[ He's deeeeeeeefinitely not drunk even a bit, nope. ]

... If you can pour it from on top of a table, yes.

[phenomerom]

[ Not too drunk to see that for the tease it is! ]

Eeehh~ I'm not one of our petite ladies, you know? They're the only ones who can make climbing up on a tabletop [ or counter ] look charming ...

[researcherstory]

Nonsense. I'm sure you'd be charming on a countertop.

[ Probably. To someone in here. ]

[phenomerom]

Your tastes are so questionable, Miss Odile ...

[ He's teasing, of course. After a moment of fake-distraught humming in thought: ]

Will you really join me for a drink if I pour it from on top of a table?

[researcherstory]

[ ... ]

Yes, but I won't make you do it -- gods know that Makoto'll have a fit if he sees one more person up there, even you. Go ahead and give me a normal pour -- but just the one.

[phenomerom]

Waaah, thank you for your generosity! [ Capped off with an annoying little chuckle that still manages to sound a little ominous, even now. Sorry, it's just baked into his nature. ] I was thinking I'd try and cheat by sitting at the table's edge and see if that would count, so thank you for saving me the trouble

[ A pause before he leans in a little closer, toning down that obnoxious showmanship just a bit. ]

Just one drink. Thank you for indulging me.

[researcherstory]

The youth really are so much trouble.

[ But it's not a complaint really, the tug of a smile on her lips as she gestures for him to get on with it. ]

You've treated well these past few weeks, Rom. I'd seem ungrateful if I didn't give into your wants at least a little... and I have enjoyed our time together, too.

[ So it's easy to relent. To all of them, honestly, since she's sentimental, but-- framing it this way is more comfortable to her anyway. ]
