[ Ori isn't much of a coffee-drinker herself, but M-21 is, so there's no shortage of it in their home. Once Amber is properly inside, Ori closes the door and gestures for Amber to sit on the sofa, near which there is a coffee table where she sets the gift back down momentarily - only so that she can get some water going in the kettle. We do pour-overs in this household, baby. (Also Ori doesn't know how to work the fancy coffee machine they have, probably.) ]
I'm sure I'm going to love it, especially since you put in so much effort that you got your hands all cut up...
[ But she sits down with Amber then, taking the gift up once more and finally opening it. With a quiet gasp, she picks the adorable little felt bear up and for a long while, she's just... staring down at it in her hands. ]
Amber... This is so sweet... You made this? It's beautiful!
( Ahh, coffee! Honestly, she isn't picky. Coffee is coffee! So good. She waits with anticipation when Ori opens her gift, then breaks into a large smile. )
[ With a smile, she goes about reading Amber's note! ]
Ahh... You really are such a sweet woman. I'm very lucky to have met you here, Amber. I'll have to think hard about a perfect present to give to you in turn!
[ Oh! There goes the kettle. Ori stands to tend to the hot water and start preparing coffee for Amber in earnest. Mikan-Avolyn, womanizer that he is, rubs up against Amber's leg and purrs, seeking more attention. ]
Hm, I think he definitely likes you. Or... I think he just likes ladies more, actually.
[ The cat is her roommate's biggest competition for Ori's affection, even though she doesn't know it. ]
( She's more than happy to give this affectionate kitty more of her attention! Crouched down, she scratches behind his ears. Amber glances up in order to respond to Ori's question. )
Oh! Uh ... good! ( Kind of?? ) Just the same old, really. I've been doing lots more work on my farm just to keep busy. Making use of the bulbs I got during this time of year and all. How about you?
I-It was...! Uhhh...! ( Oh, this is off to a great start. She's suddenly very red. Oops? ) G-Good-! Hahaha ... ( AHEM. ) The tarte! Right! He was delicious.
( IT LOOKS LIKE THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG!! DON'T LOOK AT HER, MIKAN-AVOLYN )
Uh ... don't tell anyone! I mean, we didn't plan on it! There was this massage oil, and it made us feel super weird! I don't know what was in it ... and then we ... well, you know.
But it was just a one time thing! That's all. ( excuse her as she goes so RED..... )
I was just so excited seeing the box of free stuff! I wanted to dive in straight away. I demolished the chocolates and gave Vanitas a massage with the oil to say thanks for the date. ( Sigh. ) But I can't say reading the note would've helped that much to begin with ... I only learned what the word "aphrodisiac" meant once Diluc told me. ( after her second date............. )
[ ...Ah, to be so young and carefree... Amber is such a delight. Ori didn't really get to have a College Girl Era for herself at Amber's age, riddled with anxiety and low self-esteem as she had been, so she's just happy to see her friend living her best life!
Besides, she and M-21... partook... as well. Each of them only had a bit of chocolate, but... ]
Oh, um... Wow, that must have been... Exciting!
[ To say the absolute least. ]
At least you know, now. In case we run into any more, then you'll be able to make an informed decision about whether or not to use them! [ ahem. ] I was surprised at how quickly they took effect...
She's not the only one who's turning red now, though, and Ori stops for a moment as she's walking back over with their coffee to where Amber is sitting. ]
—Oh, um. Yes. I had a piece before I noticed what the note said...
[ Enjoy your coffee, Amber! It was brewed from coffee grown and roasted by Ori and M-21's neighbors Trahearne and Kaspar at Bug Eater Farm! #notsponsored
There's cream and sugar in little containers on the tray that Ori sets onto the coffee table, too. And as for Ori, she sits back down next to Amber and clasps her hands together on her lap. ]
Ah, well... Once we realized what they were, I asked if I should try to remove the effects with magic, but...
[ They mutually decided not to. HENCEFORTH, ]
I... Yes, I had a wonderful time, but I'm afraid it's made our dynamic as roommates a little unclear...

Me, too! Plus it's been a bit busy at the shop...! It's a good problem to have, though, so I'm grateful.
[ A beat. ]
Did you enjoy your cruise date? I ran into Mister Vanitas on the boat, you know. The tarte tatin ended up being really delicious!

Is that so ... ( She scratches her face idly with one cheek, blushing. ) I-I, uh, had a similar encounter with my roommate a while back, too ...
But we're fine! There's no weirdness or anything. How is it with you and your roommate? Are you just wanting to stay friends?
