"Maybe not physically, but I feel it sometimes." Cerri murmured, coming out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dishcloth, eye a bit distance. "It's a horrible feeling to have at twenty four."

Cerri blinked, then looked at him, arching a brow. "Like what? Nah, I'm fine. Thank you though." she grinned, then took a sip of her lukewarm tea, giving a sigh. "Mmm... do you want anything else?"

"You went awful quiet." Cerri observed, leaning forward on her elbows, resting her weight on the bar. "You sure you're alright?"

"Of course you can." Cerri answered, a rather warm feeling swelling within her. "It... it would be my pleasure."

Again, she reached out to ruffle his hair, smiling fondly. "Not at all." Cerri bit her lower lip, looking to the kitchen. "How do you think that teacher of yours would react if I brought him and Uka some stew, or something warm to drink? It's probably getting cold out there..."

"Then I'll just wait. I'd hate for him to get his knickers in a twist. He'd probably bash my head in." Cerri teased with a grin and a wink. "Now. I've been researching with Lily, and we've almost got a spell ready. We're just waiting on Vincent at the moment."
