[Okay so the last two weeks have been rocky for Rin. After all at the New Feather party he made a huge ass of himself twice in public. On the other hand, he picked up meditation lessons, starting showing his tail in public, landed a respectable job as a cook at Seventh Heaven and lots of other productive things! But really, the facts now hitting him that not only was he here over his birthday (back in December) he's now been here over three months. Three. God Forsaken. Months.

At least he knew with certainty nothing would be happening tomorrow. Sure, it was Valentines, but how can he reasonably expect to be getting and chocolate? Even Shiemi has way more friends than him here. So... he'll be doing something truly sad all day today. Namely, he'll be making truly elaborate and well crafted chocolate creations in the kitchen at the first floor of his building (Community Building 1) .... For himself. Yep. all day in his apron and with his tail exposed, of course. Oh, and his box turtle is with him (well it used to be Jacqli's, it's basically his now).


Feel free to run into that...]

[Action, 14th]

[....Oooor maybe him eating said elaborate chocolate creations in the square today, pretending he's cool or something. No, seriously, you might see him chowing down on something ornate like this. It seems that foreveralone and light frustration can do wonders to your chocolate-making skills. Even if your inspiration is a bit... lacking

Evented with Precis, open to running into absolutely anyone, even couples together if you so please]

Because it's made of chocolate.

[God she is the worst to have a conversation with. Chew chew]

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

.... [ headtilt. ] Rin-kun, are you going to give someone that chocolate too?

[ because she's still looking for Ikki and all too with her own box. ]

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

I'm not a girl.

[Flatly. No. must not get annoyed. Must not get annoyed...]

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

[ a slow nod. ]

That's right. I remember reading that in one of the books yesterday.. Only the girls give out chocolates on Valentine's Day to the guy they like. And.. Rin-kun is definitely a guy, so he wouldn't.

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

--You had to look that up?!

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

I went to the library and made sure to read everything I could find about love and Valentine's Day.. I wanted to research it so I would be able to participate.

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

I- you didn't know all that stuff already? Where were you in elementary or middle school?

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

[ ... ] In elementary school I was in elementary school. In middle school I was in middle school.

[ taking it literally as usual. ]

But no, I didn't know.

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

Were you raised by wolves? Foreigners? Aliens?

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

I was raised by my mother and father..

[ sort of, after that probably more like raised by books.. ]

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

And are they aliens?

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

Both of them are human, just like me.

[ rude, Rin, don't insult her parents.. ]

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

[Sssh. Fine, he'll back off. He looks away again, frustrated]

Uh huh.

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

[ There's another staring pause, as if she isn't sure to bring something else up or not, but.. well, it's Kotomi, so in the end she does all the same. ]

Rin-kun doesn't look very happy.

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

[GRUNT. And then he's going to bite off the turtle's ass. Chewing loudly. Grumbling. Jeez gurl you think]

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

[ It's only a little obvious, clearly. ]

... You don't want to talk..?

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

I never said something like that. Jeez, just think sometimes, why don't you?

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

[ But she does think! Or, well, Kotomi thinks she thinks enough..

But she isn't sure what to say to that, plus it sounds almost a bit dismissive, so she goes quiet again instead. ]

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

[Ugh. He sighs and then rips off one of the turtle's legs to hand off to her]

'M just pissed I had to make this myself, okay?

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

[ Wait, is he.. offering to her.. she slowly and somewhat hesitantly reaches to take it from him, almost looking amazed she got a piece of chocolate from him. ]

Rin-kun made the chocolate turtle all by himself? That's very talented..

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

Yeah, of course I am. I mean I work at Seventh Heaven.

[Munch, munch again]

[ action; 14th ]

[etudes]

Then Rin-kun is a cook. I like making food as well, but I don't know if I'm any good at it..

[ action; 14th ]

[rashness]

I work at Seventh Heaven.

[Pointing at it. But okay, he'll turn to face her more properly now. Being polite and stuff.]

[ action; 14th ] oh wow, this notif somehow didn't reach me the first time?

[etudes]

I haven't been there before, but other people said the food there is good..

[ See, as long as it's small talk, apparently even Kotomi can keep up a conversation.. for now. ]

[ action; 14th ] rude

[rashness]

It is! I mean, I make some of it but the boss's work is the best,
