Tress Gervene (Kitomyx) x Anming Lin (Merurulince)

Quote:

Each person would receive a red envelope addressed to their attention in the mail that day. The envelope contained a white note card, ticket information neatly printed on one side in an elegant silver script and the details provided by their date on the reverse side.

The museum will open its doors at 6:45pm for the birds that like to be early. You will be meeting with your partner near the painting titled Tempus Fugit.

Refreshments will be served in the grand hall for those wishing to partake.

A tawny-haired young woman in formal attire, glasses, and high heels entered the museum promptly at 6:45pm on February 14, 2017. The note she had received in the mail had mentioned when the museum would open its doors ‘for the birds that like to be early’ implying that the time was earlier than most people were expected. However, since Tress always liked to be on time and there was no other exact time indicated on the card, she decided to go ahead and be one of the early birds.

Once she was inside, the bespectacled woman immediately searched for the painting she was supposed to be meeting someone at. Tempus Fugit - ‘time flies’ in Latin. It was an intriguing choice for a painting to rendezvous at and though Tress wasn’t a very big fan of paintings, she found herself curious about what this one must have looked like. She found it relatively quickly and looked it over a few minutes as she tried to seem inconspicuous.

Tress wasn’t much of a people-person, but she hoped that this little event would maybe help her learn to be more sociable. By the information on the card, this person seemed she was supposed to be meeting seemed shy; perhaps even sensitive, which she wasn’t very good at dealing with. However, she wasn’t one to back down from a challenge and if she could keep this person from going home in tears because of her, she would consider her endeavor to have been successful. It sounded so simple in her head...so why was she feeling so nervous?

Anming, unfortunately, was running late, though perhaps it was better than not arriving at all, as sorely tempting as it was to feign sickness and back out last minute. Inbetween homework and her baking projects, she had simply lost track of time, something she always swore to improve upon, but never did.

From the information she had received, the person she had been matched up with seemed to be something of an intimidating person, which made Anming worry, as she was prone to doing these days. Largely, Anming debated on what to wear; this wasn't a date, but she still wanted to look nice and make a good first impression. The dress she finally settled on was probably more suited for slightly warmer weather, but it was one of the nicer ones she had, and thus it was the one Anming went with, paired with the butterfly hairclip she had mentioned she'd wear when filling out her info.

Finally arriving at the museum, Anming quickly made her way through the building, looking for either the painting she was supposed to meet at, or the person she was supposed to meet... whichever came first. The card had said that her partner would be wearing 'professional and formal attire, and square, thick-framed glasses', so Anming kept an eye out for anyone dressed like that, and finally, she found who she was looking for.

"Hello," she politely greeted, "You're Tress Gervene, right? I'm Anming Lin."

Tress’ first thought upon Anming’s greeting was that she distinctly remembered putting ‘punctuality’ under the likes listed on her own card, but reminded herself that this was not a job interview or anything else of the sort. It wasn’t meant to be formal or professional, even if it was a first meeting and Tress was of the opinion that first impressions were especially important. She could afford the poor girl some patience, particularly when Anming seemed so insecure according to her information.

“Yes, that’s my name. Good to meet you, Anming Lin.” The tawny-haired woman adjusted her glasses. She would have to try to exercise her teacher patience without going into full-on teacher mode. Regarding Anming from top to bottom, she recalled the young lady mentioning on her card that she didn’t think people noticed her. She must not have meant to be unnoticable on purpose if she was going to wear exquisite outfits of exotic fashions like the pale blue one she had arrived in and the butterfly clip in her hair that she had said she would have on. How could anyone have overlooked a girl like this, no matter how quiet or timid she was? Perhaps she just didn’t ordinarily wear such garments that spoke out for her.

This seemed like the perfect person to practice her social skills on. Maybe the people who had paired them up - or Cupid, as they had called themselves - knew what they were doing after all. Oh, right, she was supposed to smile, wasn’t she? Tress did her best to curve the corners of her lips upward. And she should probably make more conversation.

“That’s a lovely outfit you’re wearing,” she said in her natural, English Sussex accent. “It seems...foreign. It wouldn’t happen to reflect the ethnicity of your name or origins, would it?”

((Sorry I took so long! OTL Just FYI, Tress is wearing something like this.))
