[Jinx looks excited. So excited that she might explode if she doesn't tell anyone and everyone why. Meanwhile, Gabriel is in the background, leaning against a wall and looking like the cat who ate the canary. Oh, he's smug.]

I have an announcement-- [She stops herself and looks back at Gabriel, her grin only getting bigger.] We have an announcement to make. Last night, Gabriel proposed to me...

[She shows off her left hand and has to contain a squeal. What the audience should be turning their attention toward is her recently acquired fashion statement.] I said yes!

[As if everyone in the Port is too dumb to put two and two together, she just has to add:] We're getting married!

[From the peanut gallery:] Never let it be said that I didn't make an honest woman out of her. [A beat.] ...Well, sorta.

[An old man just wished her all the happiness in the world. Best. Day. Ever.]

You really mean it? [Because a simple "thank you" isn't enough for Jinx.]

Video

[tea_lover64]

Of course!

[unluckyinlove]

[She has all of the excites right now.]

I have so much planning to get done before then. Do you think that'll go well, too?

[Come at her, fortune cookie man.]

It will likely be stressful, but the end result is worth it if you are with someone you love.

[He doesn't even realize it]

You're a Magic 8 Ball of wisdom.

[Tact. Not her strong suit.]

[He laughs and inclines his head]

Why thank you, it goes well with the beard.

[He gives it a little stroke]

[unluckyinlove]

[She snickers.]

You could make a good living off this, you know. He even looks the part, ladies and gentlemen!

Oh I'm sure I could.

I'd much rather serve tea.

Video

[unluckyinlove]

Serving tea? A little to humble for my tastes.

Video

[tea_lover64]

It suits me well enough, I had my time in the public sphere.

Video

[unluckyinlove]

Sounds like there's a story attached to that one.

[/carpet square]

[tea_lover64]

There is of course, but it is a long one.

[unluckyinlove]

Then maybe I could take some time away from my busy schedule to listen.

Who knows? I might end up liking tea.

Video

[tea_lover64]

Well, I'm not sure how interesting you'd find it, but I suppose sharing a little couldn't hurt.

[He perks at the tea comment]

Tea is delicious, I'm certain I could find a delightful blend to suit your tastes.

[unluckyinlove]

Strong and bitter. Do you have that combination?

[A smirk.] The tea, not your life story.

Video

[tea_lover64]

Strong and bitter is simple to do. There are a variety which are that. Would you prefer something that energizes or calms you?

[He strokes his beard, he isn't going to comment on his life, it had its ups and downs]

Video

[unluckyinlove]

Energy usually comes in the form of a soy latte. Let's try something that'll knock me on my ass.

With, you know, calmness.

Video

[tea_lover64]

Well, there are teas which aid in sleeping, but I think we will go with Jasmine tea, I will make sure to brew yours to be stronger.

Video

[unluckyinlove]

Totally adding this to the "trying new things" list.

How does Monday sound?

Video

[tea_lover64]

Monday is doable.

[Having tea with people is one of his favourite activities]

Sometime after lunch? Or would you prefer earlier morning?

Video

[unluckyinlove]

[And Jinx is really enjoying the sound of your voice. Win/win.]

After lunch. I am so not a morning person.

Video

[tea_lover64]

Very good. I will still be at Brooke's if that is acceptable? It is not surprising considering your current profession and age that mornings are not agreeable to you.
