It's been a rough few days with that curse and all, so...

[Rather than find people to hug, Rita has set her device to video. And now she pulls it into her chest and hugs it, giving it a good half-minute squeeze before she pulls it away, face now red.]

Th-that's all you're getting from me, got it?

[ooc: Cursed! Feel free to action either at the house or out and about in the City.]

[vesperian]

[Yuri made a plate of cupcakes! And now he's finding Rita because they share a love of sweets.]

action;

[negativegate]

What's that?

[ATTENTION GET she sure does like cupcakes. She stands up to check out the plate, comes over...and goes to put her arms around him with no hesitation.]

action;

[vesperian]

Cupca--

[When she wraps her arms around him, he moves the tray out of the way so it doesn't get knocked over. He stares down at her, blinking.]

Well, hello to you too.

action;

[negativegate]

Th-this isn't a greeting!

[Nevermind that she isn't letting him go from her little bear hug just yet.]

action;

[vesperian]

[He then ruffles her hair. Affectionately.]

Then, what. You just missed me?

action;

[negativegate]

[A little indignant squeak, and she finally lets go--just resisting shoving him away.]

I just felt like it! How could I miss you when we live in the same house?

action;

[vesperian]

[He laughs and sets the cupcakes down on a nearby desk.]

Well, I missed you. So I made us some cupcakes.

action;

[negativegate]

[And she totally snatches one before she even replies.]

Now you're just being a weirdo.

action;

[vesperian]

And yet you eat my cooking anyway.

[He smiles before taking his own cupcake to eat]

action;

[negativegate]

It's edible.

[And she can't say any more because she's taking a huge bite. It's delicious...]

action;

[vesperian]

Gee, thanks.

[But he knows it's a compliment. He knows he's good at baking.]

So what were you doing up here?

action;

[negativegate]

[Yuri is her favourite baker. But rather than tell him that, she abruptly reaches up to dab frosting on his nose, just because.]

I'm working on a blastia, of course. Tyr and I have a project.

action;

[vesperian]

[He blinks in surprise before swiping the frosting off and licking it off his fingers, laughing.]

Are you flirting with me, Rita?

action;

[negativegate]

Eugh! I am not!

[And now she blushes.]

action;

[vesperian]

Really? And here I would have been flattered.

action;

[negativegate]

Hpmh! Flattered or not, I'm with Tyr, you know.

[Not that they're exactly subtle but she doesn't actually know if he knows...]

action;

[vesperian]

[He laughs]

It's about time, too, you know.

action;

[negativegate]

W-what's that supposed to mean? I mean, Estelle knew--but you?

action;

[vesperian]

The only way you could have been more obvious was if you told me.

action;

[negativegate]

Wha--we couldn't have been that obvious!

[Could they?! So maybe they hold hands all the time, and...

Yeah, just that is probably pretty obvious.]

Okay, so what if we are?

action;

[vesperian]

I'm happy for you.

[He smiles at her genuinely.]

action;

[negativegate]

[Her cheeks flush pink at the simple answer, and a little smile tugs at her lips.]

...You're a sap.

action;

[vesperian]

You can blame Ino for that.

[He laughs, sits in a nearby chair to finish off his cupcake.]

action;

[negativegate]

[She grabs for another one, suddenly curious-]

How did you two get together, anyway?

action;

[vesperian]

We went out somewhere, and then we kissed.

[He grins a bit smugly.]

It was nice.
