Of course I like it - I love it, I...

[ She's just going to throw her arms around Amber and pull her into a tight hug. ]

[outride]

( Oh...! Well, in that case, she's just going to hug her right back! )

That's so great to hear! It's the least I can do for how kind you've been to me.

[hearthwarming]

[ The tiefling gives her an affectionate squeeze before letting go and peering back down at the gift. ]

Oh.. Is it alright if I read your note, too?

[outride]

( She nods. )

Sure! I don't mind at all!

[hearthwarming]

[ 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!

[outride]

Aw, you don't have to do anything for me in return! Really! But I'm so happy you liked it! I really am so glad I met you.

[hearthwarming]

The feeling is mutual, of course!

[ 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. ]

Have you been doing well this autumn, Amber?

[outride]

A little ladies man, huh?

( 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?

[hearthwarming]

[ Mikan purrs happily with a sweet little grin on his face. Ori, meanwhile, hums contemplatively. ]

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!

1/2

[outride]

I'm so glad! Your flower shop is so beautiful, I'm not surprised everyone's taken interest!

2/3 I LIED

[outride]

( --BUT THE MENTION OF THE DATE MAKES HER SQUEAK. )

Ah-! ( Must pretend nothing happened-!! )

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.

3/3

[outride]

( WAIT NO )

IT! - IT WAS DELICIOUS! ( JUST KILL HER TBH )

[hearthwarming]

[ GIRL... even Mikan-Avolyn is like:

]

[hearthwarming]

[ Ori, meanwhile, is just staring at Amber from where she stands in the kitchen. Oh, dear...]

I....... I see! I'm glad you got to have a taste of him—

[ HEH ]

I mean, it!

[ SORRY AMBER ]

[outride]

I-I--! Eek!

( 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..... )

[hearthwarming]

[ Mikan-Avolyn meows and trots back over to the kitchen, perching atop a counter where Ori is pouring Amber's mug of coffee. ]

O-Of course I won't tell anyone! As long as you had a good time, that's all that matters, Amber!

[ although... ]

But you don't... know...? They were laced with aphrodisiacs. There was a note...

[outride]

Yeah, I ... might've missed the note.

( BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOO SURPRISING ... )

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............. )

[hearthwarming]

[ ...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...

[outride]

( Amber is so red. Practically matching the bunny ear ribbons on her head. Adorable. )

E-Ehehe ... ( She just laughs awkwardly ... )

Oh, you went through the same thing?

[hearthwarming]

[ Adorable, truly!!

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...

[outride]

( Coffee! Yay!! Amber takes her cup happily, breathing in the aroma. )

So you went through the same thing I did, huh ... ( She giggles softly. ) I-I hope you had fun, at least...?

[hearthwarming]

[ 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...

[outride]

( Amber is just waiting for hers to cool down before she dives in. She'll just be drinking hers black!

And ... Oh. Oh. That rings a bell. )

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?

[hearthwarming]

Oh, really? That's a bit of a relief. M-21 and I make a very good team on our farm together, so I've been worried about things getting... weird.

[ ...except that she has, since day one, been sleeping in the same bed as this man and while it was only a little awkward at first, ever since their date she hasn't been sure how much of what happened on the boat should stay on the boat.

Mikan-Avolyn, who can still magically understand whatever Ori is saying, yowls in protest. Stop talking about that guy!! Ori turns her head to address the cat. ]

Mikan-Avolyn! Please, I'm talking to Amber... Come on.

[ She turns back to her friend. ]

Anyway... I... I've been thinking about it, but I'm not sure.

[outride]

( Amber finally takes a sip from her coffee, giggling a little at the cat's antics. What a character! Mmm ... the brew is perfect. )

Well, don't worry about not being sure. You don't have to figure it all out overnight. If you like each other a lot and enjoyed yourselves, then there's no real reason for things to be awkward, right?

I'm not a connoisseur of love or anything like that, but it just seems to make sense to me. Is he a nice person?
