I don't rightly know.

[swordsense]

That was rhetorical.

Terrible. That's what I'd be.

[Cece takes a moment to stare at the nonexistent camera in her room like she's in the office.

look at that, circular remarks. sometimes life really does feel scripted...]

As you say.
Good work on not being a terrible friend, then.

[swordsense]

Well, then as a not terrible friend...

Let me take you out for tea.

[adamantlyardent]

[LONG DELAY OF DELIBERATION AND DOUBT.]

Very well.

[swordsense]

Wonderful.

What is your favorite kind of tea?

[adamantlyardent]

It would very much depend on the time of day and the weather, wouldn't it? Not all teas are suitable for all times.

[swordsense]

Yes that's right, I suppose.

So we should pick a tea for a slightly balmy afternoon, in late summer. Do you have a personal favorite? I know I prefer lighter ones when it's warm.

[This is something she's weirdly picked up on in Bright Moon. Princesses, as it turns out, are more tea snobs than soldiers.]

[adamantlyardent]

There are places that serve fruit teas on ice, I've discovered.

[swordsense]

Oh yes! Starbucks, right? They have a tea thing too, not just coffee.

[adamantlyardent]

That should suffice.

[swordsense]

How does tomorrow at around three sound? That seems to be a traditional tea time.

[adamantlyardent]

Yes, that will be acceptable. You'll need to advise me of the location in advance, of course, so that I have enough time to close the shop and travel.

[swordsense]

I'll attach an address to this message.

And see you tomorrow.

<3

[And yes, she attaches an address!]
