Shoutarou's been busy doing exploring and research for nearly a month, as well as dealing with an eccentric British man taking up residence in his room and replacing Fletcher. The Doctor is a great fellow, but Shoutarou does miss the boy. He does hope he's okay, where-ever he wound up...

However, he would worry about that later. It was time to put the business aside for a bit - he had yet to follow up on Francisca's offer in the library, so in an effort to make it up to her, he had invited her to the cafeteria for coffee.

This one is open to everyone.

There was coffee in the cafeteria now.

Finally.

Screw all the other food, Shoutarou makes a bee-line for the coffee as soon as he finds out they have it. It apparently took him ten days to notice. Let's say that the habit of no coffee took root after a full month here, and took root pretty deep.

Once said coffee was acquired, Shoutarou finds an empty table to sit at, notebook out for later writing and looking-over,

She's pleased at this achievement and may or may not have muttered something about sleeping in the nude before sipping her coffee.

[thisclinchesit]

And he catches that, if the red tinge on his face is any indicator.

However, it'll take some kind of physical jarring to get him to snap back to reality anytime soon.

She keeps watching and sipping her coffee, having way too much fun with this situation. "I'm afraid my house policy is that if you spend the night, you must spend the day after with me, also nude, at home. What we might get up to during the day... well~"

[thisclinchesit]

There's faint nodding, though after the mention of staying nude, there's a stir of focus, and he looks a bit concerned.

"...what about my hat?"

[champagnedelis.livejournal.com]

She thinks..................


"... You may keep the hat."

[thisclinchesit]

"...good."

As long as he has his hat, he's golden.

[champagnedelis.livejournal.com]

She smiles and tweaks said hat so it's tilted jauntily to one side.

[thisclinchesit]

"Hey, you don't mess with a man's hat!" He looks annoyed, but in a non-serious manner.

[champagnedelis.livejournal.com]

She chuckles and kisses his cheek. "If I go too out of line, feel free to discipline me otherwise~"

[thisclinchesit]

He chuckles, though it's an awkward one. "Don't know if I could bring myself to do that." Too chivalric and all that.

[champagnedelis.livejournal.com]

She smiles and pets his cheek fondly. "Far too sweet of you, I'm not made of glass... but I understand."

[thisclinchesit]

He reaches up, taking her hand. "Well, as I said, I'm old-fashioned - I prefer to treat things and people of worth with great care."

Her smile quirks to the side a bit at the 'old-fashioned', considering how young he was.
