*As the day grows longer, one secretary prepares to put a stack of paperwork to bed for the day. It's just another normal October evening at the Yami cabin... or is it?*

[There's a knocking on your door]

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*...hm. wonder who that could be. straightens the pile and goes to open the door.*

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

[There is one AT-er leaning against the door, holding a bottle of wine and a small gift, grinning at you]

Evening. Do you have time?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*clearly surprised, but recovers quickly with a smile, which still does hold a hint of bemusement*

...good evening. "Time for what," is my question, it would seem.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

Well, it would seem that if my predictions were correct, you'd be rather busy with a mountain of paperwork to file due to all the strange occurrences in camp lately, am I correct so far?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

October usually is one of the busier times of the year, yes. Particularly concerning insurance paperwork, but I hardly want to force that conversation onto anyone who doesn't need to have it.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

It would have been easier if you had just said yes, but anyway, that's beside the point.

I figured you might need a bit of a break from all that, even if it's just drinks?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*raises an eyebrow*

I was just finishing up for the evening, actually. So... thank you. I'd like that.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

Then I'll consider this a success.

[tosses you the gift box]

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*catches it! and has apparently been surprised again, as he momentarily appears not to know exactly what to do with this... thing.*

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

Figured you weren't a chocolates and flowers kind of guy.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*

I can't argue that. But... this is an entirely unnecessary level of generosity.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

But you haven't even opened it yet. As far as you know, it could be a fork.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

The gesture itself is generosity enough.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

Stop being so shocked and open it.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*gives Aeon a slightly chastising look, but it's more amused than affronted*

If you wish.

*and opens it. his eyes widen a bit as he takes a moment to appreciate it before replying sincerely*

...it's beautiful. Thank you.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

Hope you make good use of it.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

I will.

*closes the box and goes to put it on his desk*

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

[raises the bottle slightly]

Glasses?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*nods as he sets down the pen box and heads over to the kitchenette*

I'll get them. Please, have a seat.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

[does so on your desk chair and swivels on it]

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*takes a couple of wine glasses out of a cabinet and turns around bring them back to Aeo-

. . . .

...heads back over*

I suppose there's no harm in your making yourself comfortable.

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

[grins]

Just testing the ergonomics on your chair. Quite comfortable, by the way.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

I'm well aware of that. And appreciate the fact.

*sets the glasses down on his desk*

[rape-o-clock.livejournal.com]

[notices the tone in the voice and smiles, but pretends to ignore it and opens that bottle of wine rather expertly, pouring glasses for the both of them.]

I hope this suits your tastes.
