"Hm. Yeah, course," he replied, finding his shoes and putting them on quickly. He stood up, grabbing the key off the dresser and opening the door. Judging by the light outside, it was still really early in the morning, the sun hadn't risen yet and the island was a bit chilly.
He shivered a little before leading the way to the main building in the middle of the complex, jabbing in the lock code quickly when he got there. opened the door and ushered Roni into the warmth with a bow. He didn't manage to follow it up with a comment, it was too early for that.

Roni blushed when he bowed -- where did that come from?? -- and hurried inside. It was warmer inside the building and she stifled a yawn. She moved over to give Ix some room and waited patiently for him to lead them somewhere or to say something.

Cirxel quickly stepped in after her and shut the door, leading her to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and began investigating it's contents.
"Let's see. Breakfast. We've got eggs, milk," he shifted something around, "ham, that seems to be it in here. There's some fuit, look like plums." He pulled out the packet of ham, throwing it on the stove and placed the eggs next to them.
"There's probably cereal and bread and everything in the cabinets too", he said, going over and opening those for her. "Plus there's normally waffles in the freezer."
"Anything you want particulalry?" his voice was muffled since he was digging through one of the lower cabinets wrestling out a frying pan.

"I will have whatever you're having," she said meekly, suddenly all too aware of the fact that she had slept at Ix's house and was alone with him in his kitchen. She knew it was silly to get worked up over something so insignificant, but she still found herself nervously playing with her hands. Her eyes rested briefly on his lips, and she remembered the feel of her mouth on his, short-lasting though it was. Was it at all meaningful?
She sat down in a chair at the table, trying to calm herself, to slow the breathing she didn't know had become slightly ragged and inconsistent, without Ix noticing.
((Hehe, Roni's neeeeeeerrvouuuus XD))

Conveniently for Roni, Ix was too busy with the food, finally having wrestled the frying pan out, that he wasn't really paying her much attention.
"Scrambled eggs and ham then," he replied, turning the stove on and putting some ham on the pan. He pulled a spatula out of a drawer, turning to face Roni while he waititng for it to start cooking.
It struck how odd this whole experience felt. Yestarday was probably the most eventful day of his life, and hopefully he wouldn't have many more like it, and now he was standing in his kitchen making breakfast. The ham started popping violently and he flipped it over as he tried to come to terms with this.
He figured he must be in shock, because all he could think about of the ordinarily logical things about the situation.
"I'll have to call my director and try and explain what happened. And We'll have to find a way to get back to Shenkuu..." he glanced at Roni as he made other such comments, though he was more or less speaking to the air. I probably sound like a right idiot, he thought, and eventually he slipped into silence, not saying anything more for a while.
Once the cooking was done he put a plate of food infront of Roni and one in front of himself, grabbing silverware from a drawer.
"You want anything to drink?" he asked, getting himself a glass of water.

Roni was silently pondering the previous day's events as well, while playing with her fingers or tapping them nervously on the table. Whenever she looked up at Ix, back to her, cooking their breakfast, she felt a surge of heat flow through her and her heart beat faster. She'd never had this happen before. What was this feeling?
Slowly, as if in a hypnotic daze, unaware of her actions, Roni walked over to Ix. "You want anything to drink?" he asked. She moved next to him, hands trembling as she gently turned him to face her, slid her hands down his arms, and reached up to kiss him. She wasn't sure why she did it, but she did, pressed her mouth against his-- carefully, not with any of the boldness of the day before.

((This is the stupidest post ever XD))
Cirxel watched her get up, but didn't move until she was there. His heart started pounding, and he carefully spun them around till he could get the glass on the counter. Then he pulled her closer, kissing her gently and trying not to think.
"Ah-hem!"
Cirxel opened his eyes, not realizing he'd closed them, and looked over Roni to the door behind her. Lilah was standing there, arms crossed, watching him with raised eyebrows.
"Do you mind explaining why you're doing that in the kitchen?" she asked, inching past them to get to the fridge.
Cirxel grimaced a little, but let Roni go.
"Not like anyone was around. What you doing up this early anyway?"
Lilah gave him glare over the top of the fridge door. She retreated with some fruit and a water bottle.
"I always get up thie early. And I wouldn't be at that when Phyn or Kuan get up," she warned, stalking out of the kitchen with her spoils. Cirxel watched her go and sighed, grabbing his drink and sitting at the table.
He poked his eggs with a fork. "The food's getting cold."

((Naww, I'm sure there've been stupider XD Posted by me, for example XDD))
Roni blushed furiously and sat down to eat. After a moment, she murmured, "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me."
What the hell WAS that??? She just all of a sudden upped it and went to kiss him? She'd never done that before! Where was her control, her restraint?? That was completely improper.
And yet.... she liked it. She wanted to do it again.

"It's fine," he replied, slicing through his ham. Truth be told he was much better than fine, but Lilah had put hima sour mood. She was remarkably good at that. He looked over at Roni, but went back to staring at his eggs. It's not like she was the first girl she'd ever kissed before. But this was much better. And he'd only met her a few days ago.
"Like star crossed lovers," he muttered, stabbing into his eggs, feeling better having thought of it. He finished his breakfast, getting Lilah off his mind with each bite till he was finished. He looked across the table at Roni, paying mroe attention this time.
"I guess it's a good thing my shirts are too big for you, or your wings must be killing you. Maybe we could Phyn to lend you something."

"S-Star-crossed lovers?" she stammered, a little surprised, blushing even more. "Are.... are y-you talking about you and me? Oh, and their fine, my wings are-- they're fine--"
You sound like an idiot, she scolded herself. Pull yourself together!
((I totally forgot Roni had wings XDD))

((I think Sarah did that once with Cera, in the Dhia Cera RP XD))
Cirxel jumped, "What? I- I didn't mean to say that. At least I- I- bother it!" He would very much have liked ot hide his face in the table, if there wasn't a plate of food on it. As it was he rested his face in his hands instead, reciting the first line that came ot his head.
"Lady you berefit me of all words,
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
And there is such confusion in my powers."
((Quote form Shakespeare XD))

((Haha, by the way, is this pre- or post-Devastation?  )) Roni blushed again, mildly confused. "Why are you quoting Shakespeare?" she asked shyly, for some reason trying not to giggle. Ix was rather silly, wasn't he? And yet, she couldn't help but murmur herself, "Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; for saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmer's kiss." She blushed again, not knowing even why she said that, or, if anything, why that particular line. ((I couldn't help myself XDD)) |

((XD I believe it is Pre-Dev))
Cirxel blushed, "Because he's a genius, that's why." He was smiling, and put his arms back down on the table. He grinned even wider as Roni started reciting.
"Roni, you are amazing. You're funny, smart, magical, a princess, And you know prose. I am truly honored to have met you." He smiled, reaching across the table to take hold of her hands, his ears perked up happily. "I really like you."
((Alright, I'm way too tired to be dealing with this now. Night.))

She was surprised. No guy had ever called her amazing before, and nobody really had ever much been impressed with her uncanny ability to remember entire scenes from plays from the sixteenth century.
"I.... I don't know what to say," she murmured, a small smile on her face. She looked down at the table shyly, and then said, "I really like you too." This must be what these feelings are. Infatuation? She was so strangely happy she could sing, but she kept up her disposition. She was already acting quite unseemly as it was.
Those days are over, princess, she whispered in her head. You can be silly. It's been over one hundred years. What's proper and what's improper have changed since then.
She smiled up at him shyly. Habits were hard to break...

Crixel smilied back, letting go of her hands and geting up from the table, taking her plate and his as he did so.
"Well, that's good."
He went over to the sink and rinsed off the plates and silverware before throwing them in the dishwasher. He grabbed the pan off the stove and started scrubbing it clean.
"Meanwhile, I've got to call the troupe and find out what's happening in Shenkuu. If you want to call your family you can go ahead. There's a phone in here, or you could go back to my place and use that one. They're on different lines so you can use them at the same time."
He glanced at the clock on the microwave, which read 6:20. The sun was coming up outside and it looked like it was going to be a nice day.
