Location: Ra's temporary room
Medium: AIM
Guest Starring:Chiitra Weatherly Scarlett(Mordavrin)
Oh the Dorama! This is the start of an intense little RP which splits into two parts due to AIM complications.
The very begining is missing . Note to self...*need to ask Rin if she has it*
First three posts missing.
Chiitra Weatherly (Mordavrin)
She could hear someone moving around inside. *gasp* He was home. She'd been secretly hoping he wasn't, why? she wasn't really sure. For some reason part of her was even more nervous to see Ra now that he was privy to some of her darkest secrets, and she to his. [Really, that should make us closer, no?] she wondered, as she straightened out her shirt and fidgeted with her jeans. As the door opened Chii pinced her cheeks one final time to add a bit of colour and smiled.
Rashne Kusani (Midnight_medea)
Ra yawned as he opened the door and almost died of shock when he saw Chiitra grinning back at him.
"Hi Chii." He cried back. His grin broadening. Out of all the people it could have been he was happy it was Chii. "Err do you want to come in?" He said stepping back to make room for her without really giving a thought for the utter state his room was in.

Chii
Chii let out a small giggle. "Why thank you. I'd love to." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek as she passed, in greeting. It was something she was used to and that she did unconsciously. Once inside Ra's room she did a quick spin to check out the place. She grinned again, it was so much like hers. Messy, unorganized, but had an comfy air of 'someone lives here'. She liked that.
Heading straight for the cushions in the centre of the room Chii plopped down and turned to Ra. "I brought something for you." She smiled and immediately started rummaging through her satchel, giving Ra plenty of time to join her or mull about or whatever.

Ra
Ra looked around his room in a mild state of horror it was so messy. He was relieved when Chii didn't seem bothered and even more pleased that she made herself comfortable.
"Something for me?" He ginned sitting down opposite her. He thought he would feel more nervous about having her in his room, especially because of the embarrasing ammount of mess. Crossing his legs he watched with interest as
she searched in her bag. He always seemed to feel completely at ease around her. "What is it?" He asked. Never beeing good with surprises.

Chii
Finally having found it Chii waited a moment before presenting it. "Alright, now this isn't the most wonderful thing in the world, and you actually may already have a lot of this stuff, but well, I figured I'd give it to you anyway. One more can't hurt." And with that she pulled out the tub of cream and presented it, holding it only a few inches away from Ra. She squinted, waiting for his reaction
Ra
Ra raised his eyebrows and took the tube of cream from Chii.
"Thank you." He grinned. "I think." He added playfully as he read the lable. It appeared to be a cream to reduce scarring. As he read it his grin turned to a real smile. "Chii...I." He paused. He was really touched by her gesture. "Thank you. Really. I actually don't have anything. I mean I used to, but I hate doctors so I didn't go back to get a new prescription."

Chii
Chii smiled. "Oh well this is perfect then. It works really REALLY well. I've used it on my scar for ages and now it's to the point that you really have to look to see it." She was so happy to see him like this. "I know what you mean about the doctors. For the longest time I didn't want to go either. Anyway, if you end up liking it just let me know when you need more and I'll have some sent."
Chii leaned back, arms wrapped around her knees. "So, how have you been Ra?" It was a loaded question, she knew it, but she'd tried to ask it in the kindest, most comfortable way possible.

Scarlett Quioxte (Kaleido)
Scarlett finished washing up her dishes. Another culinary masterpiece: Gazpacho andaluz, Roasted red pepper and aubergine salad, and Spanish ratatouille - Pisto Manchego, and saffron rice. She enjoyed the cafeteria food, but at night she always had a hankering for home cooked meals. Divying up the portions, she thought of Ra. Maybe he was hungry, and if he wasn't he could always have it later.
Packing up the tupperware, she slipped on her shoes and walked down the hall to Ra's room. She found his room number in the student directory. Hopefully, he wouldn't think she was strange for showing up at his doorstep. Taking a deep breath, Scarlett rapped gently on the door.

Ra
Ra smiled back at Chii glad to see her relaxing.
"Umm I'm alright." He replied. "They're putting me back on the sleeping pills but nothing new." He sighed. As he paused there was a knock at the door. Ugh, he thought and gave an apoloigetic smile to Chii.
"Probably the men in white coats come early." He laughed standing up and crossing to the door.
He had spent weeks with noone calling and now that he had some time to hang out with Chii, he already had another caller. Pulling the door open he was rather shocked to find Scarlett standing there. Had he told her what room he lived in?
"Uh, hi Scarlett." He said bluntly. Not meaning to sound as surprised as her did.

Chii
Chii laughed at his last comment. "I'm well acquainted with the men in the white coats. They're rather fond of oreos, but you didn't hear that from me." As he answered the door she mulled about on the floor. It was so much fun entering a new room. So many things to look at...She was in the middle of purusing his CD collection when she heard him say a name....Scarlett?
The name didn't sound familiar, but it was to be expected, she didn't know everyone on campus. Suddenly far more aware of herself than before she began fiddling with her shirt and jeans again. She ran a hand through her red hair and pinched her cheeks once again. First impressions were important. Not wanting to be rude, she waited, eagerly for the new person to enter.

Scarlett
"I know you are probably wondering, how I found out where you lived," Scarlett said shuffling her feet."I cooked too much dinner, and figured maybe you could use a homecooked meal. I used the directory. I hope I am not intruding... if you don't want it, I'll understand."
Scarlett held out the neatly wrapped tupperware boxes. They were wrapped in a printed cloth. "You can put it in the fridge, and it should keep for a few days." Scarlett felt the sudden urge to turn around and walk back down the hallway to her room. He looked busy, and her stopping by was obviously rude.
Ra
Ra blinked as she reeled off her explaination. She had brought him food. Slightly embarrased that she had come all this way to bring him food he stepped back from the door.
"Thank you." He smiled taking the wrapped boxes from Scarlett.
"Look, um. Do you want to come in. We can all have a kind of carpet picnic if you haven't eaten already that is." He said politely turning back to Chii and smiling.
"Hey, Chii do you remember Scarlett?"
"Thank you." He smiled taking the wrapped boxes from Scarlett.
"Look, um. Do you want to come in. We can all have a kind of carpet picnic if you haven't eaten already that is." He said politely turning back to Chii and smiling.
"Hey, Chii do you remember Scarlett?"
Chii
Chii walked over to Ra and Scarlett and although she was smiling, a knot began to form in the pit of her stomach. Another girl, what was her relationship to Ra? She was bringing him food so they must be close...all she'd brought was cream. Chii sighed on the inside and did her best to dismiss such thoughts. She wasn't Ra's only friend, she knew that but for some reason this girls presence made her feel so small. [Bah, enough Chii. Get a grip.] Standing beside Ra, Chii faced Scarlett. "No, I don't believe we've met. My name is Chiitra Wetherly. I'm in 2nd level, but this is my first year. It's a pleasure to meet you." There, granted it wasn't her most effervescent greeting, but it was genuine and it really was a pleasure meeting new people. Besides, if she's a friend of Ra's she must be lovely.
Scarlett
Scarlett felt her grip tighten on the box. Ra had company in his room, and she interrupted. The girl who stood next to Ra was beautiful. Scarlett was slightly envious that Ra had invited Chiitra to his room. 'It would figure he's already have a girlfriend,' she thought to herself. They were in the same grade as well. Scarlett wondered what Ra thought of her showing up univited.
"I'm Scarlett Quixote. It's nice to meet you, too." she said trying to keep her hear from gagging her. "I transferred here a few weeks ago, around the same time as Ra. I--I--I'll be right back, I have more food in my kitchen. This isn't enough for three people." Scarlett bolted from the doorway, to her room three doors down. Opening the door quickly, it looked almost as if she dove into the room.
'I can't believe this!? she said pulling herself together. I can't be jealous! I just met them! She ran into her kitchenette to get the rest of the food.

Ra
Ra stared at the empty space his mouth open about to say something as Scarlett suddenly dissapeared.
"Well, um that was interesting." He frowned slightly turning back to Chii, the boxes in his hands. "Um Scarlett's a little wired" He said putting the boxes on his desk and crossing back to the cushions. "Are you alright Chii?" He asked picking up the cream and throwing it onto his bed.

Chii
Chii wasn't quite sure what had just happened; one minute Scarlett was introducing herself the next she'd run off spouting something about food. "It was very strange." She agreed, and moved back to the cushions on the floor, watching Ra as he placed the food and wondering what he meant by 'wired'.
His question caugher her off guard and caused her blush almost instantly. Her whole body got about 10 degrees hotter just thinking about what to answer. "oh...uh...umm..." She stuttered, desperately looking for the words. "I'm fine, just a little hungry. I forgot that I haven't eaten in hours." She tried for a smile. But it was a bold faced lie, she just hoped Ra wouldn't be able to see through it, but he probably would, everyone could. She couldn't help it though, a part of her didn't want to share Ra with anyone. [You're being ridiculous Chii.] she scolded herself. [Just because he shared a deep secret with you doesn't mean he won't talk to anyone. How juvenile.] Clenching her fists she exhaled and tried to centre herself. She needed to be mature about this.

Scarlett
Scarlett took the extra food from her fridge and popped it in the microwave. Calm down. This is a chance to make a new friend. Scarlet continued. If Chiitra was Ra's girlfriend, then she would have to be really nice. She also packed a bottle of her mom's secret recipe sangria, but wasn't sure it bringing would be a good idea. She wondered what the others would think if she brough wine for dinner. It was perfectly normal to have sangria with dinner back home.
"Whatever!" she sighed slipping the bottle into her bag. Taking the carrot cake she baked ealier, she added it to her bag of things to eat. Smoothing down her hair and taking a deep breath, she walked back to Ra's room. "Sorry about that." she said huffing and puffing. "I take meals a bit seriously."

Ra
Ra sat down next to Chii and grinned, hoping to cheer her up. "Hopefully she won't be too long." He laughed. "I've heard she's a good cook."
No sooner had he spoken than Scarlett arrived back bearing a bag of what he hoped was food.
"Hey Scarlett, Um take a seat, make yourself comfortable. I'll go look for some plates." He said standing from the carpet and going to search his designated 'supply' cupboard.

Chii
Chii came out of her daze as Ra sat down next to her. She was being obsurd and she knew it. Time to be herself....and so, she was nothing but smiles when Scarlett returned. Seeing Ra get up to help she decided to stay put, and called Scarlett over to her. "You can come sit right here Scarlett." She called as she patted the cushion next to hers. Just because Chii was comfortable here didn't mean that everyone else was. "So, I take it you like to cook?" she smiled hoping to ease Scarlett's nerves some.
"Cooking's one of the only things I'm good at," Scarlett smiled brought her munitions in and sat next to Chiitra. "Okay, so we have "Gazpacho andaluz, Roasted red pepper and aubergine salad, and Spanish ratatouille - Pisto Manchego, and saffron rice. And..."
Scarlett slipped open her bag and pulled out a colourfully hand-painted bottle. "My mother's recipe for homemade Sangria. It would be sacriledge to have dinner without it. I hope you aren't mad."
Chii had been off in her own world (staring at him) when Ra asked the question....she gave it a moment before answering. "I think Kitty would...'cause she has all those friends. Besides she probably knows a martial art or something..." Random? yes, drunk? almost. Chii had gathered a bunch of pillows near her and was spralled out over them.

Ra
Ra located the plates in one of the still packed boxes his parents had sent him. Taking them out he brought them to where the two girls were sitting and placed them on the carpet.
"Wow Scarlett. This all looks amazing." He said looking from the food to the sangria. "Well, you know technically it would actually be sacriledge for me to have dinner 'with' it." He paused for a second glancing around the room as if wine glasses would magically appear. "Umm I don't have any glasses...would mugs do?"

Chii
Chii eyed the sangria cautiously. She'd had alcohol before, that wasn't the issue, the issue was WHAT alcohol did to her. Slap happy, giddy, overly affectionate....a nut case, that's what she turned into. A grin slowly spread over her face. "Mugs would be perfect." she chimed. If anything the sangria would certainly help lighten up the mood. She turned to Scarlett and smiled. "Everything looks and smells fantastic. I was never any good at cooking....building things yes, cooking no." she shrugged and laughed.
Scarlett
Scarlett smiled. It relieved her to hear compliments on her cooking. Hopefully the smell and taste would match. She felt slightly guilty because she didn't know that Ra didn't drink, but luckily Chii's enthusiasm saved her from looking like a 15 year old alcoholic. "I have a non-alcoholic version, too. Just grape juice. I take it with me sometime when I am wandering around campus." She said holding her breath a bit. "I don't have appropriate glass ware for the occassion either. Also, mugs would be less suspicious if someone stopped by. Not that I speak from experience or anything." Scarlett smiled and helped prepare plates for Ra and Chii.
Ra
"I said technically." He laughed grabbing three clean mugs from a shelf. "I do a lot of things I 'technically shouldn't"He continued sitting on the floor opposite and placing the mugs down. The food smelled delicious and as for the alcohol, his friend Saj used to have parties all the time. Besides it would give him another excuse not to take the sleeping pills.
"Shall I pour?" He asked trying to make himself a bit more useful. He wasn't sure what else to say. Maybe conversation would come easier once they began eating....and drinking.
Scarlett almost dropped her mug. She had never heard of the band that Chiitra selected. She wasn't sure if she even knew what was being said in the song. She thought it was interesting, but not really her style at all. "Really? You just arrived too?" she said returning her attention to her drink. "Which country did you come from?"
{A couple of hours and muchos sangria later}
[quote"Ra"]Ra sat on the window seat, the window was wide open and it was rather cold outside. A cigarette in his mouth, he fought to keep the flame of the lighter steady. This was his third attempt. Managing to light up he placed the lighter down and exhaled the smoke into the night.
"So, who do you think would win in a fight...Marge simpson or Hello kitty?" He asked in somewhat shaky English. It had been a while since he had drunk this much and he was begining to think he shouldn't have. (music is now the Prodigy)

Chii
Chii felt somewhat awkward now, Ra was helping with the drinks and Scarlett was doing the food....and Chii, she was just sitting there waiting. hmmm...."Should I put some music on? Just in the background?" Music was always a good idea.
Scarlett
Scarlett became absorbed in the moment. Cooking meals and sharing them with company was something she lived for. She finished serving and set the plates in front of Chii and Ra. "I hope you enjoy it." Scarlett though for a moment before continuing. "Chiitra, have you always been a student here?"
Ra
Ra finished pouring the drinks and looked up as Chii spoke. He smiled. "Sounds like a good idea Chii. My CD collection is in the box behind you. I'm not sure if there is much background music though...there might be some Iranian folk stuff that my Mum gave me."
He wasn't sure he was going to make many friends if she pulled out any of the heavier stuff. As he set the mugs down on the mat it struck him, had they spoken about music? That was usually the first thing on his list of things to speak about with people. "Choose whatever takes your fancy." He grinned sitting down and crossing his legs.

Chii
Chii spun around and headed towards his CD collection. Hmmm....what to pick, nothing too crazy, but no elevator type music. Flipping through Chii stiffled a laugh as she passed over the folk music. She saw some 70's rock (good stuff), punk (good too)....then she found it. Plucking the CD from the collection she raced over to the machine and popped in the CD. A few moments later the unmistakable lead singer of Rammstein could be heard. Grinning she rejoined Ra and Scarlett. "I hope it's alright, it is a little hard but it's suuuuuch a good CD. Taking a plate and mug from her companions she turned to Scarlett. "I just transferred here this year. So, nope I'm as new as you!"
Scarlett
Scarlett almost dropped her mug. She had never heard of the band that Chiitra selected. She wasn't sure if she even knew what was being said in the song. She thought it was interesting, but not really her style at all. "Really? You just arrived too?" she said returning her attention to her drink. "Which country did you come from?"
Ra
As the sound of a pulsing base rose from the stereo speakers and the deep German tones filled the room Ra grinned across at Chiitra. "Good choice." He said slightly nodding his head in time with the music. Of course he had no idea what was being said but that didn't matter. It wasn't exactly what you called dinner music but hey, it was better than the Iranian folk s**t his mother sent him.
"Hey Chii. Me and Scarlett were discussing Christmas the other day." He began, taking a sip of the sangria and edging a plate of food closer. "Are you joining your parents for Christmas?"
"Hey Chii. Me and Scarlett were discussing Christmas the other day." He began, taking a sip of the sangria and edging a plate of food closer. "Are you joining your parents for Christmas?"
Chii
Chii smiled at Ra in between bites. "I came directly from New Delhi, India." She took another bite completely absorbed in her food. "This is really, really good Scarlett. Wow." Rocking her head to the music she took a sip of the sangria, savouring the flavour. "Christmas? Oh, well actually I haven't decided. My parents said I'm more than welcome to join them, they'll be in Brazil, or they said if I want to I can stay here or go home with a friend. So, yeah, haven't really decided yet. I was going to wait until I knew what others were doing. What are the two of you doing for christmas?"
"My parents usually have a large family gathering at their house, but this year, my mother's restaurant has been booked solid through the New Year with holiday parties, weddings, and such," Scarlett said finishing off her first glass of sangria. "And my father has a tournament, but I never go to those anyway."
Scarlett was so happy that Chii and Ra were enjoying her cooking. She made a mental note to make extras more often, so she could stop eating all her meals alone. She would have to gauge Chiitra on her dessert and tea consumption. Perhaps, she's have more luck with her pastry concoctions than she did with Brae & Ra. She would have to start taking notes on what kinds of foods they were interested in.

Rashne
Ra considered her answer seriously as he rested his ashtray on his knee.
"Good point." He said thoughtfully. "She's quite small though isn't she. I mean Marge could probably tread on her...but then I suppose there are the leigons of Sanrio to think about." Pausing to take a thoughtful drag on his cigarette he stared out of the window. His brain suzzing over. "What do you think Scarlett?"
Scarlett Quixote (KaleidoscopeGrl)
Scarlett giggled. Her vote was completely with Marge Simpson. The long legs and bride of Frankenstein hair, there was no way for little Hello Kitty to compete. "Marge would eat her for breakfast on a Sunday morning before church," Scarlett said washing up the dishes in the kitchenette. Her impromptu meal was a complete success. "What's the judge's verdict, Ra?
Brae O`Fossen (Rown)
Brae moved his fingers open and closed as he walked around, finally happy to be rid of the cast. It had been a bother for so long, and now that it was gone he felt a sense of peace. He had spent most of the day after getting it off dealing with flowers, and now he was ready to go back to his room. It would have been a perfect day...if he hadn't heard a loud voice above him. Or voices, should he say.
They all sounded famiiar....mainly the one closet to the window. Ra, wasn't it? Brae would have liked to see him again and apologize for some reason, though he wasn't sure. None the less...he found himself heading towards the window bottom and shouting up. "He....hello?"
quote="Chiitra"]
"Oh course you've got to worry about the legion...I mean, there's the black cat, the frog, a dog, a monkey, a panda, a deer, another kitty...I think there's even a bear. Size has nothing to do with it..." Brushing her hair from her face she sat up, indian style on her bed of pillows and stared at Ra as he puffed away. A warmth rose within her, if it was even possible since the sangria had raised her body temp to almost boiling!
Just then she heard a voice shouting which sounded like Brae. Chii cocked her head to one side. "Is that Brae?" Quickly getting to her feet she ran over to the window and leaned over Ra not really watching where she leaned or where her hands went.
Rashne
Ra's numb brain was trying to weigh up the pros and cons of big blue hair Vs the warriors of Sanrio. When he heard a shout below him. Not thinking too clearly he looked out into the night rather than down as he should have.
He heard Chii's voice say something about Brae and then was very aware of her leaning against his knee to look out of the window. His heart picking up speed he followed her gaze to the grass below. Where the small figure of Brae stood.
"Hi Brae." He called. "Come on up...room ???.'
Scarlett Wrote:
Scarlett's attention was pulled over to Ra and Chii from the dishes. She felt a flush in her cheeks seeing them so close to one another. Seeing them together sent a pang of jealousy into her heart. They didn't say anthing about being a couple, but Scarlett saw how naturally comfortable they were with one another. It wasn't as forced as it was between her and Ra.
She sighed softly. She heard them talking to Brae, and from the sound of it, he was coming to join them. "Would you be up for some tea and dessert. I have some stuff in my room I can go and get..."She needed to cool her mind off and sober up a little so as to avoid making a fool of herself.
Brae Wrote:
"Come up?" Brae raised his hand to the level of his eyes, peering into the darkness. He could make out Ra's form, and someone who was sitting on him at least, from his view. "Sure, if you don't mind my company." Brae's voice echoed in the cold night, so clear and crisp. The stars were out and pretty and he would have liked to sit on a roof and watch them, but it would be rude to refuse an invitation. "I'm coming up now, I'll be there in a moment." He waved his arm to let them know he was walking up and out of sight, a paled creep of a blush on his face. though he had remained calm, Brae was scared. He hoped it wasn't just Ra alone...
Chiitra Wrote:
Chii grinned. She hadn't seen Brae in ages, and besides, this party could use another male in it. Having fully extended herself over Ra's knee, Chii placed her right hand on Ra and braced herself against his shoulder so she wouldn't fall as she tried to regain her centre of balance.
Once having gotten over, Chii turned to her right in order to get the door for Brae when she realized how close to Ra's face she was. Her face flushed, and normally she would have jumped away, but now she was just standing there inches from his face, with a big goofy grin plastered on it. Slowly, she leaned forward and planted a kiss on his nose. Then leaned back and laughed. "KAWAII!!" Then, after cupping his face with her hands she darted off towards the door so as to let Brae in.

For Ra the whole moment passed in a bit of a blurone moment Chii was leaning over him, the next thing she had kissed him on the nose and danced off saying something he didn't quite understand.
He felt a burning blush creep up from his neck and light his face. Staring dumbstruck after Chii he stubbed his cigarette out in the ashtray.
"No, problem Scarlett." He said distantly. "You've done enough cooking thins evening." Pausing he dragged himself back to the room. "It just so happens that I am a tea expert." He said grinning at the Spanish girl.

Scarlett's heart stopped at the sight of Chii and Ra mere inches away from one another. She was relieved that she had put Ra's dishes away or she would certainly have dropped them on the floor. Tearing her eyes away from the scene, she just walked back to the cushioned area on the floor and sat down. Her heart danced a jig in her throat. She was trapped in a room with a couple, and now Brae was joining them as well. She was relieved to hear that Ra was a Tea Master. Maybe a cup would calm her nerves. "Would you mind if I brought some cake from mine? I'm in the mood for something sweet after a spicy meal..."

Having waited several minutes for Brae to come to the room Chii stepped out into the hallway, glancing quickly up and down, then stepped back into the room, shrugged and turned to face Ra and Scarlett.
At the mention of cake, Chii was all ears. "oooooo, I'd LOVE some cake." She said with a grin. "I'm a total sucker for sweet stuff." As Scarlett left the room, Chii walked over to Ra and watched him Just being around Ra gave her butterflies, which really puzzled Chii since up until now she'd only had butterflies like these for Jun. He seemed like a distant thought now. So much had happened, stuff that she'd wanted him to be a part of. But he wasn't here, Ra was and that thought alone gave her so much comfort and strength. She thought back to that day they went to bakery, how warm he'd felt asshe'd hugged him, how much her heart had ached when he cried. As she watched him a thought crossed her mind...Did she? She couldn't possibly..? No way, she though to herself...Do I have a crush on Ra? Her face flashed red, and all she could do was lean forward and try to hide her most obvious lack of composure.

Ra stood from the window and paused for a moment the whole room appeared to spin breathing deeply he tried to shake the fuzzy feeling from his head. "Umm, If you want cake. Go ahead." He smiled feeling his way along the wall to his tea chest. This was excatly how he usually felt after taking the pills. Huh, maybe he should just drink instead. Shakily he dropped to his knees and opened the wooden box. As he searched for the tea he was looking for he noticed Chii standing over him, also somewhat shakily.
"You...should....sit" He said stilted as he grabbed her hand and pulled her down next to him. "I'll show you how to make the best tea in the world." He grinned trying to focus on the different boxes.

Scarlett placed her dishes on the counter. She was relieved that Ra and Chii really enjoyed her dinner. She chalked a tick mark in her cooking journal, indicating that tonight's menu was indeed a success. She did, however, put a red "X" next to the sangria. Though she did enjoy it, she was certain that drinking with her friends might not be a smart idea. Especially when they are underaged.
Opening the refridgerator, Scarlett pulled out her caramel praline cheesecake. Taking a swig of ice water, she gathered her things and returned to Ra's room.

The next thing she knew Ra had grabbed her hand and pulled her down beside him. She tilted her head up slightly so she could see what he was doing, but not give away her thoughts by letting him see her face clearly. Inside the box were all sorts of tins and little tools. She smiled. It reminded her of her work bench, only in mini. It would appear that Ra was a craftsman too, only with tea instead of wood. She inched closer to him, and the box eager to learn. "Where did you learn how to make tea?" she squeaked, suddenly more shy than she'd been all evening.

Ra smiled staring into the box. He felt comfortable again with Chii next to him. More stable.
"My Grandparents run a teahouse back in Iran." He said picking up one of the pots of black tea. "I've been brought up knowing all about tea." He paused moving someof the other tins aside. "They want me to take it over when I finish school." He frowned pulling out the small silver tin of rose petals.
"Do you like tea Chii?"
