@youreyesrpretty Ah, well, that's, ah... Sounds an awful lot like "step into my parlour"...

@yourlxndmine “Curfew after sundown when mother is around, and I believe... She's got things to tend to, two days on” That put a small damper on her mood, but she shook it off quickly enough. She had something to look forwards to, now-! “Besides that... Koto practice tomorrow. Nothing else.”

@PrssdBttrfly They had to calm their heart a for a second... sliding to lay on the ground, a light twist of the hips got their phone out and into a hand. Checking their screen, a folded arm supporting their head, plastic wrapper held in their teeth... "Yes, ma'am. Any obligations you have?"

Lazy day today. The sun's decision, not hers. ...Is there a problem?

@PrssdBttrfly Why? Did she see something really super cool?

Realising she jokingly compared herself to her mother and staring off into space for a solid hour.

@_SOMNOPHILE Hm, hm... Sure, why not?

@PrssdBttrfly ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . Does this mean she'd at least be sad if Siesta died - .ᐣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦴 = 🍆 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@yourlxndmine “Latter.” She playfully swatted at them, and at that point even she noticed her behaviour was getting a little ridiculous. No more cattishness, for a few minutes at the very least. Okay, deep breaths, proper sitting position... Haah... “...Check the forecast, won't you?”

@PrssdBttrfly -- Just enough as they brought their head lower, propped on their elbow to bring themselves closer to her level. "I can be an arsehole /sometimes!/ Everyone can be! Do you want that drink now, or you wanna wait until you can steal my coffee when we're out?"

@_SOMNOPHILE 📯🐕. 💧🪦. (❤️)

@PrssdBttrfly ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's just a little puppy humor - .ᐟ . . . She would, though. 🦴 ➡️ 🫵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@yourlxndmine Yeah, it was. Something between a hiss and a huff, anyhow. “You're an 𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦, you know that?” And there came the giggles again, cutting clean through her anger. “I believe you owe me... Half an extra drink for that, mine spilled.”

@yourlxndmine Her snapping out of her heat-induced haze was a thing of beauty- That squeak was probably the loudest noise she'd made in their presence by far, and if she was feline in her lazy stretching she was twice so in the way she flinched and rolled to the side. Was that a hiss..?

@_SOMNOPHILE Ah, sorry, it might be in her blood ⁓

@PrssdBttrfly ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . 💧 That's mean - .ᐟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Gold medalist at innuendo-dodging by the way.

@yourlxndmine “Nnn... I hope the clouds won't make us wait too long,” another one of those soft smiles and a tilt of her head, eyes half-lidded. “Don't you?” Which didn't mean she couldn't look forwards to it. Ah, denial, courage's only real substitute.

@yourlxndmine “You don't say...” Unflappable, almost bored-sounding. The same heat that loosened her numbed her, and, to be honest, some part of her was trying to bury the 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 of their strange first meeting very deep. Meaning, she vehemently refused to consider their date a date.

@yourlxndmine “Please wait for a cloudy day.” She smiled at them, not realising she'd agreed to a date- If any part of her did, it was immediately and aggressively suppressed. A friendly outing, what else could it be? “I'm... Not sure I've been to one before. Old teahouse kind of family.”

@PrssdBttrfly -- As embarrassed as THEY were, they pushed off the ground and slowly leaned back until they were laying - a leg bent upright as the other found a comfortable position. "It's fine, it wasn't... wasted or anything. I went to a cafe nearby. I'll take you there later."

@yourlxndmine hit her pretty hard, huh? A single meeting wouldn't have had her so relaxed around anyone. ...She is going to remember this and wince for a long time to come.

@yourlxndmine That got them a side-eye. A little amused, a little apologetic, it more or less evened out into a pretty flat look, but any moment now it should tip over- “...My mistake. Still, did you really..?” - and amusement won. She chuckled, then stretched like a lazy cat. The sun must

@LILC0SPLAY4EVER Just fine. Just fine. Don't worry, okay? It doesn't suit children.

@PrssdBttrfly Oh, uh.. Are you okay, miss?

Dimly afraid of women. Dimly afraid of men, too. Really, just afraid in general.
