 Hortense took a deep breath as she had arrived at the market, taking a long look around. Instead of leaving her hair down, she pulled it back and braid it in a loose braid which allowed some of the shorter pieces to frame her face. In her hands was a container of a frozen creamy concoction she made the other day: banana ice cream made from real bananas and boy, was her hands freezing at this point. However, she looked around, pursing her lips. Maybe she was a bit early, so she asked around and sure enough, some of the people there pointed the way. It seems that Jekyll was a bit unique from the rest of them, and he stood out on most days that he is around others. And so on the information, she was given, the young female made her way out of the civilization of the market and to the place that Jekyll resides in.
Now... she did promise to meet him in the market, but she just couldn't wait and hopefully, she did found the right place as the female proceeded to knock on the door of the residence she stood before. The young shetani was excited; that wasn't the word she wanted to use, but there were no words to explain the bubbly feeling she felt in the pit of her stomach when she thought of this date with Jekyll. He was cute, oh so nerdy, and when he talked, she just couldn't help but smile at him.
And so, she started knocking once again, pursing her lips as she looked around. Did she pass him in the market? Was he there? Then she felt a bit guilty, maybe she did! Oh no, what if he is there waiting for her and he feels that she skipped out on him?! That is inconceivable, even by her standards. She may be a ditz some days, but not when it comes to dating. She loves the thrill of a budding romance, at least from watching others from the sidelines.

 Today was the day.
Ever since midnight hit he had been awake. Who could possibly sleep? His body wasn't even tired hours later, too strung up with nerves and excitement. He had used the time to tidy up for the eleventh time that week, making sure not even a speck of dust clouded his delicate glass vials.
His home was quite spacious in exchange for being an older house with not as many frills as some others. That was fine. He could invent those frills if he wanted them, and he needed the space for his experiments. So a small kitchen, small bedroom, and a huge living room that was lined with desks containing different contraptions, vials, raw materials and other such things. The single guest room had even more, but those he kept his more dangerous or volatile experiments if handled incorrectly.
The fae bustled along to a corner which caged his lab rats, some cheese in hand to drop down upon them for a special treat. He never did anything cruel to them, mostly behavioral experiments. They were almost like pets. "Wish me luck Squeakers, Chewy, Cheesy." Jekyll gave a start when there was a knock on his door. Some pae here, now? NOW? He was about to head out on his date! No no, this wouldn't do at all. Maybe if he stayed still they'd think he wasn't home and go away.
Another knock. Shoot. No luck.
He'd have to quickly deal with his visitor and basically run to the market to not be late. He could NOT be late. That would make him angry.
It was fine. It was fine. He took a deep breath and made his way to the door. Who could it be? He hardly ever got visitors, and he hadn't ordered anything to arrive today... His hand lighted on the handle, and pulled the door open. "H-Hortense?!" All the irritation flushed out of him instantly at the enchanting sight before him. Those reddish locks were tamed in a soft braid, leaving her pretty face even easier to see. Be still his heart! How did she know where he lived? His love was a detective, how enthralling! "I-I was just about to head out! You didn't need to trouble yourself finding me." Was she here because...she couldn't wait? Could he dare to think that she was just as excited for this date as he? He could faint. "Oh! Please come in, come in. Welcome! Is that the ice cream you're holding? You can set it on the counter, your poor hands." The male quickly stepped back and to the side to let her in, his skin feeling tingly in excitement.

The female shetani stood there, panicking internally. What if she had the wrong house? Everyone she talked to pointed this way, and just left her even more confused than ever. Weird, unusual? That was just the surface of what they were whispering about this particular pae'il. All she saw when she first saw him was the feeling of butterflies in her stomach frantically hitting the walls of her stomach; it was an uneasy feeling and a most pleasant one too. She enjoyed it, she silently admitted to herself. And so, the pink and yellow female took a deep breath and knocked once more in anticipation of getting the right house.
Her anticipation was rewarded! The door had opened to revealed none other than Jekyll himself. A smile grew, taking up practically up half her face, the feeling of butterflies intensified, making the warmth she had felt all the more blushful. She didn't even notice the coldness of the banana ice cream until the opposite male made a mention of her 'poor hands'. Only then, she blushed a furious red color in her facial cheeks and entered the domain.
"I couldn't help myself. I thought I was late. So, I didn't want you to think too badly of me, so I asked others and they pointed me here. I did hope I had the right house and I did!" Hortense beamed, setting the cold banana ice cream on the counter and turned to look at the odd-looking pae'il. She looked around in curiosity, taking in the sights until she saw the mice in the corner and darted over there, peering through the cage. "What are these? They look so... funny! And cute! Hi, you cutie things! Are they like us? They make such cute noises! Squeak squeak to you too!"

OOC: I'm still dying over him going, A detective, how enchanting! When others would be running for the hills rofl BIC: Ahh...she smelled like sweet flowers, the fae noted as she walked by him to set down the ice cream. "You're actually right on time!" Well. She was a little early. But to be early was to be on time. "I could never think badly of you, even if you were a little late." Funny that his neighbors took such note of him to know where he lived. He decided it was better to be well-known then not known at all, as after all it led this amazing shetani right to his doorstep.
"Those are my test rats! It's hard to get accurate results when conducting an experiment on someone who knows they're being watched. Such as...I had an experiment where one rat got more food than another, and observed the dynamic of dominance it led to. Pae who knew they were being watched may not show any aggressive responses as they know their actions are being recorded. Rats don't think like that." He explained while following her to the cage, a smile on his face. It was always a pleasure to talk about his work. "I found them by that village, Star Grove. You know its a mill, and they are attracted to grain. I found them there. Hard to catch. Harder to earn their trust." Which was why they were like pets for him. The City library had made mention of mice being used for testing, and so he had researched the best place to find them and made the long journey to the village. Then multiple sleepless nights and multiple traps to catch the three he had. He really didn't want to do that again. "The all gray one is Squeakers - the noisiest of them. The black one is Chewy - he chewed through the bars of his first cage. And the black and white one is Cheesy. Because while the others like cheese, he'll do tricks for it."Dream WhiteWitz That moment when you have to think of how he'd have rats.

OCC: That was priceless, though. Totally priceless, I laughed myself into hysteria over that one. BIC: Hortense giggled, watching Jekyll as he continues on his little obsessive talks about his experiments and such. When he gets this passionate, she discovered he is just adorable, she could eat him up... like a sweet sweet orange. "They're adorable, Jekyll. Really adorable. Maybe later, I can hold one?" the shetani female inquired, batting her eyelashes at the opposite male in hopes of him saying yes; but if it turns out to be a no, she'll have to accept that as well and move on from it. "Tell me about your experiments. I want to see one, definitely! I'm all the tingly about it!"
The yellow-ish pink pae'il shetani looked at Jekyll with luminous watery eyes, filled with a vast curiousity.
