In which Lo Hak and Cecile brainstorm what Lo Hak should give Jess for his birthday, and Cecile decides that being cute is a terrible thing indeed after much inquisitive poking.
Lo Hak: CECILE!
Cecile: *flails in surprise and falls over on her butt* >_O?!
Lo Hak: *glomps*
Cecile: ^^; *doesn't mind the glomp, since she doesn't have her armor* Yes?
Lo Hak: Hi~!!
Cecile: Hello? *blink*
Lo Hak: You said you could help with the present?
Cecile: Oh!! *waves her arms* That's right!! Do you have any ideas, before I start?
Lo Hak: Well, I mean, I know Jess likes books and stuff.
Cecile: You see, what I was going to get him was a...oh...*digs through her pockets and hands him a little box*
Lo Hak: Uh? *opens*
Cecile: It's full of orange paperclips!! Just like his pants!! And they're lovely for keeping papers together.
Lo Hak: *laughs* Perfect!
Cecile: When I went to Vinay, I got him some color coded ones, but I thought these were nice. ^^
Lo Hak: *giggles* They're perfect Cecile.
Cecile: Would you like to give those to him?
Lo Hak: Oh! No! They're YOUR gift!
Cecile: o.o Well....how can I help you with yours?
Lo Hak: Well, I don't know, I guess an idea would be good
Cecile: ....Something orange? :3
Lo Hak: *giggles* I can try.
Cecile: What does Sir Jess like more than anything in the whole entire world?!
Lo Hak: .....Me?
Cecile: Well, you can't give yourself as a gift. :S Is there anything else?
Lo Hak: Um, well, he likes books, and my cocoa....
Cecile: Maybe you could make him some special cocoa? Or find a book about cocoa?
Lo Hak: *smiles* That could work
Cecile: But you want it to be an extra-special gift though, right?
Lo Hak: Yes.
Cecile: Well....*fiddles with her hands* ._. I'm sorry, I do not know Sir Jess well enough to know what would make it special.
Lo Hak: Oh, it's okay! You've actually given me an idea! ~_^
Cecile: :O I-I did?!
Lo Hak: *nods*
Cecile: ....*pauses*....it is special, right?
Lo Hak: Of course. Thanks Cecile.
Cecile: *bows* You're very welcome. Let me know if it works out!
Lo Hak: Of course~!!
Cecile: :D!!!
Lo Hak: *laughs, patting her*
Cecile: *smiles, but kind of doesn't get it* (>_>)
Lo Hak: So, you getting anything for Thomas for Christmas?
Cecile: *fervent nod*!! Yes!!!! I've been working on it since August.
Lo Hak: *chuckles* Gonna share?
Cecile: ^_^ I was making him an orange scarf.
Lo Hak: I'm sure he'll love it!
Cecile: I-I hope so. ;///; I haven't had much time to speak with him at all, and I am worried.
Lo hak: Don't worry!
Cecile: But Sir Jess said he was feeling frazzled! I haven't had a chance to speak with him alone since....*trails off* ......
Lo Hak: Maybe if you spoke to him he won't be so frazzled. Maybe what he needs is a nice visit from you. *smiles*
Cecile: P-perhaps. .__.' If he is so busy, I don't want to bother him. Do you ever feel that way with Sir Jess?
Lo Hak: Well, no, not really, cause I'm his husband, so I know that he'll always be glad to see me.
Cecile: .....I see. *rubs her nose shyly*
Lo Hak: *chuckles* Cute.
Cecile: *blinks uncomprehensively*
Lo Hak: You rubbing your nose like that
Cecile: o//O is that a bad thing?!?!?
Lo Hak: No, it's adorable.
Cecile: :/ ?????? *blank stare* But...I didn't.....I wasn't....I didn't even think about it. .___.
Lo Hak: Oh, I know, which makes it cute.
Cecile: *utterly baffled* Does everyone find that cute?
Lo Hak: I would suppose.
Cecile: *flushes* ......Perhaps I ought to not do it anymore.
Lo Hak: No no! It being cute is a good thing!
Cecile: NO!!! It is a horrible, horrible thing!! Everytime someone called me cute, terrible things happened!!!!!!!
Lo Hak: Like what?? o__O
Cecile: Like the time where--*clamps her mouth shut* x/////////////x
Lo Hak: Uh? What was that?

Lo Hak: Tell me tell me! *pokes*
