Eleventh Snowfall: [text]

[she feels foolish for being captured. Of course she is grateful for the rescue, but the fact that it was needed at all makes her realize just how much she's been neglecting training]

Now that we are back in the port, I wonder if there are any swordsmen willing to teach me their skills? I am a willing student and will learn quickly.

[private to Chris Halliwell]
I have heard of this beverage called "coffee" but have never tried it. Would you like to accompany me as I do so?

Maybe we should start with tea? That much caffeine might be a bad idea if you're not used to it.

[towerlocked]

But I was told coffee--- What I mean to say, is that if that is what you prefer...

[charmedson]

Told coffee for what?

[towerlocked]

I... I was only told it was a popular drink of your time.

[charmedson]

It is.

It's just that caffeine can make you feel anxious if you're not used to it.

Coffee houses serve tea or hot chocolate too, so we can find a place and you can experience that whole 'going for coffee' thing without those side affects.

[towerlocked]

I remember hot chocolate. My father and I would drink it together...

[charmedson]

Yeah? Do you want to get some of that?

[towerlocked]

And are we to make it ourselves?

[charmedson]

We can go to a place and get some, so you can still check out a coffee shop, or even sample some of it if you'd like. I just don't think it would be a good idea for you to get a whole cup.

[towerlocked]

As you say. I'm glad to spend an afternoon with you, in any form it takes.

[charmedson]

Great. I'll come pick you up in about an hour?

[towerlocked]

Yes. I will be ready.

[charmedson]

See you then.

[In about an hour he orbs outside of her apartment and knocks lightly.]

[towerlocked]

[she opens the door to greet him. Having never been on a date, she has no idea how she's supposed to dress. So she chose something out of her "modern" collection. Honoring Ino's hard work and all that]

Hello.

[charmedson]

[Chris smiles at the sight of her.]

I found a place near by. We could walk or we could orb. Did you want to choose?

[towerlocked]

[she reaches out to rest her hand on his arm, smiling teasingly] Do you walk?

[charmedson]

[He chuckles] Some times. It's not as fun.

[towerlocked]

It is fun, and beautiful.

[charmedson]

I guess that means we're walking? [He smirks a bit, not complaining.]

[towerlocked]

I need to be sure your feet still work. [she keeps a hand at his arm so she can start guiding him along. She teases out of love deep affection]

[charmedson]

[He laughs a bit]

They do! See? [He gestures down to his feet as they leave her apartment]

[towerlocked]

I do see. I'm impressed.

[charmedson]

You should be. It takes forever to get around this way. [Not that he seems to mind spending more time with her]

[towerlocked]

Orbs are indeed quicker, but I think you miss much along the way.

[charmedson]

That's possible.

We used to take family vacations by orb.
