From the look of delight on her face it was evident she was no allergic, she was delighted. She carefully lowered a hand to be snuffed at, so that she might offer to scratch the ears of the 'true lord' of the house hold.
"HelOoooooo" She cooed. "What's your name then? I'm so glad you came out to say HellooooOOoooo! Aren't you handsome!" She cooed before realzing she had slipped into utter 'fawning' over the beautiful cat.
"Sorry! No! Not allergic at all" She flushed a deep red. "Very fond, but my family is allergic."

The cat seemed to appreciate the attention, and seemed to quickly deem Ume as acceptable in her domain - she rubbed one cheek against her hand, and meowed again.
"That's Liddel." Daniel said with a smile, letting his now empty cup down to pet along her back. "I got her when I moved out of Azure's dorms. We can't have pets there, and I missed having a cat around..."
Ah, but ultimately this was just a distraction. "I... Ah... Well... Um..." Superb start, Daniel. Superb. Good thing Chris wasn't seeing this, or the brown haired boy would probably be face-palming. "I mean... Well... Would you..." CRAAAAAAPPPP.... "A-Are your exams over yet ?"
Fail.

Would she... the words almost there, stuttering between them as just for a moment fingers nearly brushed but drew apart again, such a near miss, such a close call of two hearts beating harder over the pelt of a tiny match maker.
The topic changed and she shifted, the pink evening out in her cheeks as she shook her head yes. "I'm still waiting for the final grades though." She admitted anxiously. "I think I did well but, It's always right when you become sure of it that it turns out you missed something...don't you think?"

Liddel wasn't getting all the tension in the room, really - she was just enjoying all the attention, starting to purr as she twirled around Daniel's hand to jump into Ume's lap, kneading a bit before settling there.
"Oh." He gave a fake-pout. "I see how it is." Then he just laughed. Even his cat seemed to approve...
Through, if she was technically done. "I worry about my grades all the time too. Through... Maybe... Would you like to..." The words started to get lost in his throat again, and it seemed like a futile effort to get them out. "...Go out f-for dinner sometime ? I know a-an amazing place..."
Oh my. Somehow he had managed, Hopefully this wasn't the point where Ume said no.

"I..." she blinked in surprise, and then flooded with delight it gave her the courage to continue. "I'd love to." She said with a widening smile. "I would enjoy that very much...if Miss Liddel approves." She added with just an edge of tease in her voice as she stroked the soft white fur that had settled into the dark fabric of her skirts. "It's because I'm wearing black." She added with a small laugh. "They know...they -always- Know."

Well at least he'd tri-
Wait.
She said yes ?
SHE SAID YES ?!?
"They always do know. What do you have to say about that, Liddel ? Are you fine with it ?"
Comically, this was where the cat let out a meow, following by a yawn. Truth was, Liddel probably didn't care one way or another...

"I think that means if nothing else that she is comfortable." She laughed. "Are you comfortable darling...are you? You are so pretty, yes you are..." She rubbed the velveteen edges of the cats ears almost purring herself to have had such a heart warming day.

"Probably." He just smiled. He couldn't manage to wipe that smile, a bordeline goofy one even, off his face - and he reached to give one stroke along Liddel's back before he reached for his book.
"I believe we... are ready for the story time, then, ladies ?" He said.

Her eyes widened in delight and she nodded. "I am..." She said trying to keep from sounding over eager, she didn't want to sound like a little girl, but the story always made her feel like one. A land built of wishes, lost princesses, dragons and heros... the perfect story, and she'd hear it as it was first written at last.

Really, he still wasn't sure why exactly Ume wanted to hear him blabber in a language she probably didn't understand for so long, bu hey... Daniel carefully settled the tome on his knees, then opened it.
"Diese Inschrift stand auf der Glastur eines kleinen Ladens, aber so sah sie naturlich nur aus, wenn man vom Inneren des dammerigen" His words were less hesitant, more freely flowing in his mother tongue, in spite of him not using it in his daily life much. Not as much as english, anyway.
"Raumes durche die Scheibe auf fie StraBe hinausblickte. DrauBen war ein grauer kalter Novembermorgen und es regnete in Stromen. Die Toffen liefen am Glas herunter und uber die geschnorkelten Buchstaben. Alles, was man durche die Scheibe sehen konnte, war eine regenfleckige Mauer auf der anderen StraBenseite..."
