Midnight Bar

[Haerm]

Haerm smiles, a little embarrassed he looks her in the face again... and then asks, “ehm... can I ask you where everyone is?”

sonja shurgs her shoulders having been inside the kitchen for most of the day " i dont know" she said grabbing a cupcake softly humming to herself

[Haerm]

Haerm watches Sonja humming softly  grabbing a cupcake. Her voice is pleasant, her lips look so soft, and that cupcake looks so appetizing. “Can I wait here?” He asked, looking her in the eye again.

[onearmeddruid]

"Da" she said smiling sitting down on a bar stool kicking her feet taking bite out of the cupcake

[Haerm]

Blushing, he goes to sit next to her. He takes his backpack off his shoulders, placing it on the ground, near the stool he sat on. Agitated without even knowing why, Haerm moves his fingers on the counter, tapping as if he were playing a piano. Out of the corner of his eye, he continues to look at Sonja, hypnotized by her lips savoring that treat.

Sonja eats her cupcake frosting covering her lips and cheeks

 Granted she shouldn't be eating what she makes for customers but she loves her sweets

[Haerm]

Haerm blushing even more. The way she goes to wipe her lips, almost erotic, keeps him staring at without uttering a word. A few seconds, and then Haerm breaks the silence with a question: "I see that you like sweets... I have chocolates that I brought from Italy... do you want to taste one? They are typical of my country.”

[onearmeddruid]

sonja's eyes sparkle as she reaches out bouncing up and down at hte prospect of another sweet. Sonja nodded childishly " da" she said happily.

[Haerm]

Surprised by her reaction, a genuine smile is printed on Haerm's face. Without hesitation, the boy lowers himself to take his backpack off the ground, and then pulls out a sachet full of round chocolates, wrapped in a blue star silver foil. Haerm goes to open the sachet, and takes one of these chocolates, then placing it on her hand very gently. “This chocolate is called 'Bacio', and it means kiss, they are normally given to people... ehm... special if you can say so... but I have a lot of them, and you seem to be a good person, so go ahead!” He smiles embarrassed “ah! Yeah! When you open the foil, watch out for the note inside, they contain short poems or love dedics by great artists of the past.”

[onearmeddruid]

sonja grabs the chocolate and opens up the foil kicking her feet as she continued to hum to herself reading the poem as she stuck the bacio into her mouth

[Haerm]

The chocolate tastes like dark chocolate on the outside and gianduja towards the middle, with a hazelnut in the center. Haerm watches carefully, curious to know the woman's opinion.

[onearmeddruid]

she shuts her eyes and smiles as the sweet delicacy melts in her mouth happily twisting on the stool she sat on humming happily before opeening her eyes " i like that da?" she giggles out happily

[Haerm]

Haerm smiles shyly looking at her. He leaves the bag of chocolates on the counter, so Sonja can get more. Then he comes back to look at her amused, without saying anything.

[onearmeddruid]

sonja tilted her head curiously " what" she asks as she pops another piece of chocolate into her mouth blinking innocently at him.

[Haerm]

“Nothing” Haerm replied, continuing to smile amusedly. “It's just that it reminds me of someone I loved,” he said. Haerm shifts his gaze to the colorful reflections of the bottles on the shelves, letting out a melancholy sigh.

[onearmeddruid]

"something wrong?"she asks tilting her head

[Haerm]

A slight annoyance is visible on his face for a few seconds “no... everything okay” Haerm turns back to Sonja, and smiling kindly asks “I saw that there is a pool, is it open?”

[onearmeddruid]

"da it is" she said smiling at him

[Haerm]

“I'd like to go for a swim... will you keep me company?” He said, looking at her. “Maybe you also tell me about the place, and about you” he says, getting up from the stool and taking his backpack, and then looking around trying to figure out where to go.

She smiles at him as she stood up to follow him toward the pools
