[charmedillusion]

Do you know what I don’t understand?

Nonsense. That’s what I don’t understand.

It makes no sense to me, but it’s happened twice already. It starts, and it abruptly stops. First, this person I have never before seen in my life starts speaking to me like he knows me, and he insists that he knows me, continuing to accost me until finally he

Did he? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who can make them, but I've done it before. More frequently this last month.

[ooc: Suspicious Corinthian is suspicious.]

Private;

[charmedillusion]

He did - he said you were the only one, in fact. If it isn't too much trouble for you, is there any way I could possibly ask for some? Blue specifically mentioned it had to be cherry.

By the way, I'm Sarah - I'm sorry for not introducing myself sooner.

[ooc: It's nothing bad! Really!]

Private;

[bitingnightmare]

Isn't the little snipe going to share any with you?

The Corinthian.

Private;

[charmedillusion]

No...but then, I didn't ask him to. It's just for him. I'm merely supposed to ask for it.

It's lovely to meet you after hearing so much about you!

Private;

[bitingnightmare]

I see. How soon?

I've heard of you in passing. You're the girl who tells good stories.

Private;

[charmedillusion]

However soon you possibly can. Even more rude than asking favors of strangers is demanding a deadline.

Oh, he told you about that! Yes, I guess that's me. Blue tells wonderful stories too, though. But of course you must know that already.

Private;

[bitingnightmare]

All right then, what kind of comfits?

I do. What has he told you about me?

Private;

[charmedillusion]

He specifically said cherry comfits; as many as is convenient for you.

Oh, nothing specific (except that you make comfit), but he always mentions you in a very positive way. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you in person at his concert. I'm so used to calling you Cori from his habit, but thankfully I spared myself from that embarrassment.

Private;

[bitingnightmare]

Cherries are a soft fruit, I'll press them into comfits if I can. They'll be more like the citrons.

That's fine, I had a prior engagement. So when I'm done with these am I supposed to give them to you or him, Sarah?

Private;

[charmedillusion]

Would they be too difficult to make?

Oh, to me, please. We made a bargain, you see. I'm supposed to deliver them to him. If you'd like, whenever you're done, you can let me know and we can arrange something. And thank you!

Private;

[bitingnightmare]

No, they wouldn't.

What kind of bargain.

Private;

[charmedillusion]

Okay, good.

Well, he was surprised I actually knew what comfits are (apparently not a lot of people do), so I ended up offering to get some, and he told me I'd have to speak to you.

Private;

[bitingnightmare]

That doesn't sound much like a bargain to me. Why'd he put you up to it when he could have asked me himself? What do you get out of it.

Private;

[charmedillusion]

Why, Mr. Corinthian. I didn't say that was all of it.

[ooc: Careful Sarah is careful. :D?]

Private;

[bitingnightmare]

Did you ask him out on a date?

[ooc: Teasing Cori teases!]

Private;

[charmedillusion]

No, I definitely did not. Besides, he already has his happy ending.

[ooc: She doesn't know for a fact who the happy ending involves, but she kiiiinda guesses.]
