@α cha eunwoo I don't think it is funny
I know not everyone would be sick of their scent like me
I don't like my scent that much but it doesn't have to apply for all
@β kang chanhee Mm I know it’s a little funny but I like strawberry pastries..
I say it’s funny because my scent is strawberries so you’d think I’d be sick of it yet here I am..
@α cha eunwoo To be honest it is hard to decide since it depends on my mood
Sometimes I go for too sweet ones and sometimes I want something light to relax
How about you?
@α cha eunwoo I am positive I've been around this area before and I remember the smell of freshly baked pastries and cakes too
It was so good I smiled instantly
@ω yutaro goto Hmm, it's starting to sound like another invitation for a free slice of cake for next time.
-he answered in a sing-a-song voice, loosely weaved fingers behind his spine as he devoutly followed after his companion, his gaze wandering inside studying the decor of the establishment, from the chequered floor to the pastel embellishments certainly in parallel with the running theme of the maid cafe-
Well, I am very much looking forward to tasting the cake you have baked, Yutaro.
-he replied, glancing outside the glass window which allowed natural light to flow in and bounce of the wedding white round table-
-after a moment of thoughtful silence, he pulled out the chair before replying-
Cafe au lait, please.
Also, a request for you to join me soon. Let me bore you with my daily nothings.
-he stated with a lazy grin, he waited for some time before sitting on the chair he had pulled out-
Well it's a rule here that we must keep ourselves neat and looking proper, so it's quite important. Thankfully no one else saw it.. so.. let's keep that a secret between us, okay?
/pretending to look everywhere to see if anyone is tuning in to their conversation then grinned up to you, showing a bit of his bunny-like front teeth.
Oh, okay. I'll do that from now on si-- I mean, Eunwoo. It's quite of a habit of mine, I apologise. Let's get going. I can't wait to serve you the cake o made!
/he said with a hint of eagerness in his tone, turning around to guide you to the empty table for two near a huge window that provides a good view of the flower garden outside.
Any drinks would you like me to get you? We have plenty of options, so it may be possible we can get what you want.
@ω yutaro goto []that helps. Thanks a lot! I had a bit of trouble imagining what design the uniform might be, haha.
I was just joking, you needn't be embarrassed about something so trifle. Besides, it's fixed now.
-he gently patted your head hoping to provide reassurance, mindful of not messing your head-dress prior to withdrawing his hand to his side again-
Just call me Eunwoo. I do feel old when you call me sir. Also, I am here as your friend and not a costumer, so just speak casually, ok?
-he nodded at your enquiry, momentarily staring down at the phone screen to checking in case there was a new notification before slipping the device back inside his pocket-
Lead the way, Yutaro.
@cha eunwoo (( forgot to add the reference for what his dress looks like: https://pin.it/2xIZE6U
/the smaller can only smile wider at the question, more than glad to know that at least someone cared to show up. it would seem rather pathetic, but he couldn't deny how much he longed to have someone to at least spend some time with. the spark was evident within his gaze as he looked up at you. and before he could utter anything, his lips just fell slightly apart the moment he felt your fingers try to fix his collar that was loosely tied due to him being so eager. you weren't wrong, but he couldn't bring himself to admit it.. at least not to you.
i.. i must've forgotten..
/he mutters as a soft pink hue dusts across his cheeks, peeking up at you but avoids catching your gaze because that would deepen the shade on his cute face.
thank you, sir. i think i probably was in a hurry.. i'll try and not let that slip again!
/raises one hand to touch his collar, skimming his short and delicate fingers over the ribbon and he smiles to himself. glancing back up to you.
would you like me to you to your table now?
@ω yutaro goto -the succulent aromas wafted through his nostrils kindling his appetite, his fleshly lips naturally curling upwards on receiving a genial reception as you walked towards him-
-the smile evolving into a subdued laughter, covered with the back of his hand when addressed as "sir", something he'd started in jest yet he went along with that title-
-he took a step forward greeting you with a small bow of head, holding back the urge take a glimpse of your appearance especially the maid uniform-
How could I refuse such an invitation?
-he queried while his hand outstretched to grab the ends of the satin ribbon tied around your frilly lace collar which was close to coming undone, in order to fix them-
Sorry about that. Your ribbon wasn't tied properly.
Were you in a hurry to greet me?
-he asked in a playfully manner, his gaze fixed on the ribbon as he tied a neat butterfly bow-
@cha eunwoo /the piggy smiled in satisfaction at his reflection on the mirror; checking himself and fixing any little wrinkles and ruffles on his maid dress. feeling rather excited today specifically because he's meeting up with that winsome and tall lad that offered him some comfort during his very lowest days, something he couldn't really forget and he's delighted to give back to him in a form of a chocolate cake that he made for the male. and the drinks... well the piggy will have to ask and know once he came.. hopefully, that is. stepping out of the locker room to the cafe, in no time, he spotted the familiar man. a smile lightened up on his features before he approached the latter with a warm expression and greeting.
sir eunwoo! i'm glad you came!
@ω yutaro goto -his steps were unhurried, characteristically punctual he'd arrived twenty minutes earlier than engaged time-
-he pushed up the gold-rimmed aviator glasses gradually sliding down his nose-bridge, while strolling on the pavement which was devoid of the usual bustling commuters-
-he arrived at the designated place in a casual ensemble constituting of white sweater and deep blue denim paired with white sneakers while a beige hat covered his ungroomed hair-
-despite initial hesitance, he pushed the door of the cafe and stepped inside the cafe-
@β kim hwiyoung "it is still very sweet of you I'm already so excited about it" I say as I walk with you towards the door after thanking the waitress and the other employees we see on our way out.
((we can schedule their next meeting whenever wherever you want. It is all up to you friend))
@α lee soohyuk //a little frown can be seen as my eye brows knitted. wrinkles can be seen in the center of the furrowed brows, concerned about how water was spilled on the other lad's lap//
No need to worry about me sir. Your we'll being is more important, since you are our valued customer //bows in 90 degrees in apology, //
Here are some napkins, clean up as I pick up the glass okay?
//flashes the lad a genuine smile, showing my gums as eyes formed into little moonns as well. Picks up the glass, but ends up cutting myself on a shard of piece, as one pierces through my food safety gloves. Not really minding//
And, your meal will be on us. I do sincerely apologize
//says as in between as I look back at you and picking up the shards//
@β kim doyoung //my table suddenly wobbles because of something moving it and i realize its because you had bumped it and my water had spilled and the glass broke, and i quickly realize some water had splattered on my pants so i grab napkins and soak up whats on the table.
"Im alright I promise. Are you ok? You hit your head."
@α ji changmin “I like dogs, of course I’ll give you the best treats.” Pulling my mask over my face again, humming softly as I start to make my way back over to the door. “But in any case, I’ll message you later, Chan. I had fun today.”
@β kim hwiyoung I check my own phone saving your number with your name and adds some emoji smiling widely at my own choice "Woah you are going to spoil the puppy Mr when I didn't even know how to treat you properly? That's really sweet of you"
@α ji changmin humming softly at the explanation, wondering if it’s ok for human consumption but rising from my seat with a faint laugh, accepting my phone back from you and sliding it into my pocket. “sure, I’ll be in touch after I find some delicious treats for you, pup.”
@β kim hwiyoung Chuckles softly shrugging my shoulders "I don't know... Well it is crunchy like eating crackers but it tastes more like meat loaf? I think I just got used to the taste so I don't really mind it." takes the phone from you quickly dialing my number and also calls my phone so I can easily get your number as well. "Now I have your number too. I will be waiting for a text of call"
@α ji changmin raising my eyebrows curiously but also crinkling my nose in amusement. “eating them in human form.. how do they taste like?” sliding my phone over to you at your words with a slight nod. “Okay give me your number and we’ll be in touch. Watching your tricks and trying to teach you new ones sounds like fun.”
@β kim hwiyoung Nods eagerly with a big smile "I do some tricks and I'm always ready to learn more if someone is willing to train me. And I do like treats so much. I sometimes find myself eating puppy treats Eben in human form and it looks really weird especially when I don't know the different " Chuckles a bit awkwardly knowing that I just sounded weird but I couldn't change the truth. "Me too.. Let's text each other and hang out in an open place next time"
@α ji changmin Shooting you another smile as I hand off my card to the waitress, tipping my head as I send you an intrigued look. “You can do tricks? Should I prepare some treats for you then if you’ll show me something good?” Glancing up as the waitress brings back his card, hums a soft thanks and tucks his card back into his wallet. “I look forward to learning more about you.”
@β kim hwiyoung "I did have lots of fun and I hope we get to do that again more often" I say looking at you as you call for our waitress and I ponder of I should pay or just let you pay but you were already finishing the process "I'm so glad myself. Maybe next time I can be the one shifting and I can show you lots of tricks that I can do. And I can definitely tell you a lot about my kind"
@α ji changmin “well I’m glad you had fun with me, anyway and didn’t get too scared.” Turning slightly in my chair to wave our waitress over, leaning back to take out my wallet as I ask politely for the check, glancing back over at you with a small smile. “I’m glad I managed to change your view even a little about snakes. Ah. I enjoyed talking with you too. Next time you should tell me more about you instead, ok?”
@β kim hwiyoung "I'm not saying I didn't like it... It was strange and new of course but it wasn't a bad experience for me. And I don't know you were actually poisonous until later on besides I really enjoyed this kind of... Thrill?! I don't know but it is okay. You don't have to be very careful around me I think if you specify any time I will be used to it now that we have already spent some time together " I say quickly not wanting you to feel any kind of stress or worry about what happened. I let go of my glass when it was finally empty leaning back in my seat as I keep listening to you attentively and smiling and nodding a sign that I was listening carefully. "I think this could be the reaction from anyone who is not used to seeing snakes around. But I think it is not impossible to get used to your presence around in your form. You're a nice one Hwi" starts chuckling softly shaking my head in response before glancing down at our empty plates and glasses "I really enjoy talking to you. You have taught me lots of things today. I think we do"
@α ji changmin My face shifting into one of understanding as I nod, looking down at my empty cup with only a little bit of disappointment as I sit down a little straighter. “I get it. I never really interacted with anyone aside from my family in my other form and they aren’t very ticklish, so it was a different sort of experience for me, too. I’ll make sure to sit still if it ever happens again.” Letting out a sheepish chuckle. Sliding my hands through my hair before folding my hands over my chest again, nodding thoughtfully. “I imagine so. I think we probably had very different reactions to our first presentations.” Trying to think back to all of the emotions I felt back when I first presented, my brows furrow. “Well, I was positive that I would be something pretty like my noona, but when I wasn’t I was.. Disappointed? Disgusted.. Confused.. Afraid. There was a lot of denial and turbulence. Not only was I something that my family used to kill if we found them in our backyard but I was also very dangerous to the people around me. I thought if anyone saw, no one would ever like me again. So I didn’t ever want to shift. Some of my members are still nervous around me when I shift. And somewhere deep in my mind I’m still hesitant to do it with other people than my family because knowing their fear and seeing it are different things, and it still makes me feel down when others outwardly flinch away from me even though I know it shouldn’t-“ waving my hand vaguely before blinking. Clearing my throat and glancing away. “I’m rambling. We should be on our way soon.”
@β kim hwiyoung "well..." Tries to drag off while thinking of the best words that could explain what I actually mean without sounding like a weirdo but I fail to find the right words. "You know... You traveled all the way up and down my body while even though you probably knew it was really ticklish... I was like 50% panicking, 30% curious and the 20% I was actually trying my best to stay calm. All these mixed together were really exciting like riding a roller coaster when you already know you are scared of heights and speed?" holds tightly on my glass and drinks soon as much as I can in one go, first because of embarrassment and second because it was a bit too much to say all that in one breath before looking down away from meeting your gaze hoping it would take all the embarrassment away. "Oh... I didn't know that. Maybe it is a different story for each one when they find out about their own animal side?!" finally manages to look up again and takes the last bite of the cake before placing the fork down "What was your first reaction when you figure out that you're a snake?"
