Eggs. [Sima]

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at her as she again explained her actions. "I know, " He responded absently. When she redirected his attention to the building that Lilith had brought them too. "I think it's a good start, could surely work! However, it is just an option like you said, better to look out the rest first before we decide huh?" Sima kept a hold of her hand, playfully looking at her. He winked playfully. "Yes, do-able." Of course, it seemed he was not only relating to the building. SIma swung her and his hand back and forth in big strides, acting very oddly for a brief moment. "Lily.. " Sima said that nickname curious as her thought to it would be. "What time do you want to go out for dinner? I assume it's a fancy restaurant! So obviously, I will need to change.." Sima groaned slightly at the thought. "I love fancy clothes, but hate how some feel.  

"What if, we went and got ready for the dinner early, and then we can hang out for a bit, and then go out to dinner? I can always look for buildings for the restaurant." Sure, Sima didn't look too pleased about searching for his place. This wasn't that he was not happy about it, but he wanted to do entertaining things with her, he would be able to find a spot another time, because he knew as soon as the restuarant began their free time would be limited.

She blushed and looked away laughing. This is where the jokes would begin. She always wondered if that was actually a thing, or just a humour factor in her books. She nodded at his decision, and smiled as he held her hand, swinging it back and forth. It was certainly odd behaviour, but she enjoyed it, laughing a little as they walked. She looked up, her heart skipping a beat. That nickname was one she'd only heard from people who had taunted her- aside from her long lost friend- so it was never a good memory. When hearing Sima speak it, a reaction she didn't expect rose in her chest. Hearing him speak the name Lily, seemed to warm her body, and made her smile without her knowing it.

Oh.. um, whenever. If you'd like, we can head home. And I know what you mean, that whitish dress I wore to the festival was hard to walk in, let me tell you. She smiled fondly. That sounds like a good plan to me She understood that he would want to pick out the perfect building, so it didn't bother her that he wanted to do it alone, she assumed.

Shall we head back then?

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at her curiously when she suggested that they should return. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea!" He agreed with her. The walk didn't take too long to return, however, the moment they reached the door, Sima let go of her hands and sped up, clearly wanting to get to the door quicker. He then pulled out his shiny 'new' key and began to unlock the door. He really wanted to be the one to do it, he then opened the door for Lilith. "Here you are m'lady" He responded with a 'suave' accent. After Lilith entered, he closed the door behind him. "So, are we entering the fancy clothes for this evening, or the semi-formal for us tonight?" Sima asked curiously. Sima himself, knew, depending on the social situation, it took certain woman a certain long time to get prepared. 

Sima walked over to the couch and flopped onto it. He then slid to the left side and brought his feet over to the other side, laying down and taking almost all the couch space. Sima looked up at the ceiling briefly, he appeared almost as if he was staring at stars. "I wonder if Teair has different constellations than my world, It's something that I never bothered to consider.. In fact what if my 'world' was actually a different universe? With different stars, planets." "Maybe we should go look at the stars one night.." Sima asked Lilith curiously. 

[Deleted]

Lilith giggled, walking through the door with a sort of elegance in response to his gesture. Why thank you, kind sir. She laughed again, losing her composer, but it was a soft laugh, nothing outrageous or loud. When he laid down on the couch, she sat next to his feet, curling her own legs up against his.

Semi formal seems good to me. That dress is far to uncomfortable for a dinner with you. And I like being comfortable with you. She smiled and nudged his leg. She gazed at his face, watching how he looked up at the ceiling and spoke of the stars in his old world, compared to these ones.

Perhaps, after dinner we could... She smiled again and thought of various secluded places that they could go to do so. There was the forest, though last time they had gone out there, it hadn't ended so well. There was the springs, but she didn't know how Sima was with water. There was a lot she didn't know yet, and vice versa.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima slowly began to close his eyes, as if he had not got enough sleep the last night. When he did, he briefly for a moment. When he woke up, he realized that he had been out. Sima yawned lightly and headed over to the bedroom. He found it odd that he kept most of his clothes with hers, but they looked so different it was quite easy to tell who's was who's. Sima grabbed his 'semi-formal' clothes. It consisted of a whit undershirt and dress like pants. Sima put on his pants and casually strolled back out. There wasn't much to it, although he often had to brush his hair since he didn't like the look of it in a 'manly' pony tail. 

Sima moved back into the kitchen, briefly glancing the storage cupboard. "Hmm.." He muttered to himself. Sima moved over to the couch once again and sat down casually. He found that perhaps this world was a little depressing sometimes. It was not close to his own world luckily, there was too much too fear their. Here it was almost safe it was discerning. 

Sima could re-call waking up every morning and feeling that his life was danger, even when he had his secluded home. The things, the creatures were much more dangerous, at least from what he has experience here. His lack of powering was also concerning. Sima previously, when he had all the power in the world, thought it was useless. He however knew it's true purpose when he needed it, it was their to help him protect people. Without it, he felt less capable of keeping Lilith safe.

"Lily?" He called curiously. 

[Deleted]

Lilith watched as his eyes fell shut, and he drifted off, unintentionally drifting off herself. They hadn't gotten much sleep the night before, and she'd woken him pretty early. She knew she wasn't out for long, but it still felt nice. Like a cat nap. She didn't dream of anything in particular, just various images of memories, wishes and people. She didn't wake when Sima did, getting up to change and moving to the kitchen. She wasn't in a deep slumber, but it wasn't light enough to wake when lightly moved.

When he sat back on the couch, she felt it, but wasn't coherent enough to fully register it. However, at the sound of a voice she loved hearing, called her Lily, Lilith opened her eyes, yawning lightly and sitting back up from where she had laid down once asleep. She moved positions entirely so that she was leaning on his shoulder, her legs curled into his body, and her around curled up against his chest.

Yes Sima? She wasn't tired anymore, she just needed to wake up more. She snuggled her face into his neck, taking in his scent and sighing. What was it about him that made her so calm, so...at home. This house had been her home for years, yet she never felt like it was her own. Now, with him living there with her, it wasn't even about the where that was her home, because she knew that wherever he was, was her home.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at her, noticing that she decided to nap just now. "Your ready right?" His voice sounded slightly depressed, but only for a brief moment. He began searching for her hand, attempting to do without looking. He did this quite elegantly. Sima played with her fingers for a moment, he did this without thinking, if anything it was to calm his own thinking patterns. "I wonder what types of food they will have, I wonder if it will be cooked properly." Sima cook notice defects in even the most experienced chefs. They were so minute one more than likely other than a experienced taster would notice, but Sima was able to pick them out by scent. Regardless the food was good, but Sima wanted perfection for the people he served, or at least mostly perfection, any mistakes covered in love. 

He turned, gently kissing Lilith. "I'm paying," He spoke absently afterward. After this Sima got up, looking around the house. It was getting dark now, and darker within the house without much illumination. "So, shall we go?" 

[Deleted]

She smiled, and watched their fingers dance before he grasped her hand. Her face was a light shade of pink, and her eyes drifted up to his as he spoke, watching his eyes flit around and his mouth move while he talked. When he stood, she looked down, content with the dress she was in, and simply took her hair out of the ribbon it had been, letting it cascade down around her like a silver blonde waterfall. She nodded that she was in fact ready, and walked towards the door.

She had planed on paying, but she couldn't fight him on stuff like this anymore, not with him knowing that she would be paying for the restaurant. She simply smiled once more, and waiting to take his hand to go out on their way. She had a feeling he would want to use his key again, so she didn't move towards the door until he did.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima followed Lilith to the outside of the home. He noticed that Lilith was allowing him to once again use his key. He smiled gratefully, closing the door and locking it. He then put the key away in his pocket, it almost making no noise considering he had nothing else for it to hit against. Sima then took hold of Lilith's hand and began the walk to the restaurant. Sima wasn't sure what one they would go to actually,  but he decided to find a place on smell alone. Perhaps Lilith didn't know he had no idea about what sort of restaurants they even had here, but this was a way he could find a refined place quickly. 

Afte 30 minutes of walking in the dark they made their way towards the restaurant. When they reached the entrance a rather luxurious steward approached. "Seat for two?" He spoke with a french elegance to him. "Yes please!" Sima responded happily. "Hrmm, Right this way please.." Sima followed the man to the table, where as he pulled out Lilith's seat, like the gentlemen he was supposedly. After doing this he went and took his seat casually, looking down at the menus.

The waiter looked at him and spoke. "EHRUMM!! Sir. Could I interest you in some wine for tonight, it seems to be a special occasion. Erhum"  Sima looked at him curiously. "How about a bottle of Desion 42. please?" Sima asked curiously. "ERhAM.. Sir, I have been a avid wine taster for 40 erhum years, and i have never heard of that such wine." "Oh right, well choice is on the house, just make it elegant?" Sima scratched the back of his head nervously. 

"Right away Ser" He took off oddly fast. 

[Deleted]

Lilith enjoyed the walk there, simply enjoying his company, and the bliss the walk brought. Something so simple and calm yet beautiful. When they arrived, Lilith's eye widened. She'd never been here, but she'd heard of it, from the other staff at the library. They entered the building, and at first she paid no mind to the man directing them, her focus on the building itself and how beautiful it was. She couldn't help but wonder if his would turn into something so pretty. Not as expensive she was sure, but the beauty to it was remarkable.

Once they were seated, she brought her attention back to her date, smiling softly at the vision of him sitting in front of her, the lighting making him look more handsome that he already had in her eyes. The voice of an awkwardly rude waiter, startled her out of her gazing, and she turned her head to the source. She hadn't noticed how oddly hostile he seemed to be. Now she really hoped the only thing relating Sima's restaurant with this one, was the visual appeal. She remained silent as the two spoke, noticing the arrogance the man held towards Sima, discussing the wine. Lilith thought that people would be used to the Fated by now, people not knowing everything about this world yet, let alone types of wine. It made her slightly angry, but she hid it easily, knowing Sima didn't want people knowing that he was in fact Fated at all.

She also noticing how Sima handled it, and that was what kept her calm. He was so nice, so pleasant, regardless of how rude the waiter was, and it warmed her heart. Lilith was known to be too kind for her own good, but the world that judged her, had never met Sima.

This is lovely Sima, thank you for bringing me here. She avoided the topic of the waiter unless he said something, not wanting to seem picky, ungrateful or easily irritated. She reached across the table and intertwined his fingers with her own, smiling softly.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at Lilith curiously, when she began thanking him for bringing her here he raised an eyebrow. "I couldn't have gone here alone now could I? I needed someone to go with, " Sima smiled at her, looking over shoulder seeing where the waiter had left. It was true he did irritate Sima a bit, but Sima wasn't completely in the right either. Sima did not know they didn't have his wine selection here. "What are you going order, Lily?" Sima looked at the menu briefly. "I think, plain old tempura, and maybe something a bit fancier, like steak.." Sima looked carefully at the menu. "There are vegetarian dishes it looks like, " Sima noted that Lilith didn't like to eat meat. 

SIma set down the menu after deciding what he wanted, and sure enough the same waiter appeared. "Erhummm!, Sir have you decided what you wanted? " Sima nodded. "Tempura, and Steak!" He laughed openly about the odd mix. "Very good erhum, and you Madame?" He waited for Lilith to choose her meal, and then he asked Sima another questionm "Two separate  bills or one erhum?" "One please," "Very well," He then set the wine bottle on the table. "Shall you open it or me, Sir?" Sima looked at him. "I guess I'll open it, unless you want to give it a shot Lily." Sima looked towards Lilith. 

[Deleted]

Lilith glanced over the menu at Sima's question, smiling behind the book as he mentioned the meatless options. Something about the fact that he remembered the little things just made her really happy. After a few moments of glancing and attempting to ignore the waiters tone completely, Lilith looked up, her lilac eyes catching the waiters.

Um, well, I would like, She paused, glancing back down to make sure she said the right item. I would like, the vermicelli, please and thank you. She broke eye contact again, her nerves getting the best of her, despite her lingering irritation. She decided to focus on Sima instead, choosing to enjoy his company rather that worry about someone else's.

Upon hearing her name, -though not her full name, as she continually noticed, with the skip of her heart beat- her focus jumped back to reality and she shook her head firmly. I can promise you that, that, is a terrible idea. Lilith laughed nervously and closed her menu, handing it to the man standing by their table, waiting.

[Sima Oratio]

SIma looked at Lilith, as she seemingly declined opening the wine bottle. "Is suppose I shall do that then," Sima grabbed the wine bottle before he had any chance to suggest he do it. "Erhummm fine sir." He took the menus and was off in a matter of minutes. Sima grabbed the two wine glasses, and set them before him. He then used his hands, not bothering to grab a wine opened. He dug into the cork with his fingertips, and then pulled. It popped off of the wine bottle seemingly rather easily. He then began to pour the drinks, setting down the bottle in the middle, and then handing Lilith her glass. 

"So what is that.. verma stuff you ordered?" Sima asked her curiously. "Sounds a lot fancier than what I got." His stomach growled lightly. He groaned, knowing he would still have to wait for some time for his food to be prepared, it didn't make him any less hungry however. Sima made it a point not to complain, after all they were meant to have fun. He took a light drink of his wine, smelling the aroma before taking a drink. "It's not bad, but it's not the best.." Sima was referring to of course his own tastes from his own world, but regardless, he wasn't that big of a wine guy. 

[Deleted]

Lilith laughed, the food did sound fancier, but it really wasn't. It's just a type of pasta. Nothing special. She smiled and watched as he poured the wine, taking her glass gratefully.

I think this is actually quite good! Maybe in comparison to the wine in your world its not, but here, its quite nice. She smiled and sipped her wine, glancing around the room once more. It really was elegant.

So, are you nervous about that matchmaking thing? Because I'm sure it will be fine...

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at her curiously as she brought up the subject about the matchmaking. "Well, yes, I'm nervous. I mean, I just feel that, it's nerve racking. I don't think I need someone else wanting to pick me up, and I don't think I want to feel nervous for someone doing the same thing with you.. That being said, I do think fun could be had, I'm just a tad worried that things might not go so 'well'." Sima sighed taking another drink of his wine. "I feel that it could be fun too, I just, I don't need anyone else." He grumbled, feeling oddly anti-social around Lilith, at least when it came to other people. "This way the only person I have to open up to is you, at least, I guess.." 

Sima wasn't sure exactly why he had such a hard time dealing with this matchmaking thing, but it felt odd too him. He wasn't even sure if he believed in his own words. "Lilith, If you did lose 'feelings' for me.. would you tell me?" Sima didn't sound depressed, more like intuitively thinking. He took another drink from the glass of wine, downing it rather quickly, and reaching to fill it up once again.
