"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, shitshitshiii-" were Eduard's last words, before he ended up passing Madam Puddifoot's. He came to a screeching halt, and panted, face red. Heaving a sigh, he cleaned his forehead of the sweat, cleared his throat, and stepped in, walking towards the girl that had bludgeoned him. Quite literally.

"I hope you haven't waited long...?!" He asked, his internal clocks ringing all together in danger. She had one hell of a left, it seemed. And he didn't want to be rude to her, purely for survival reasons.

There he was! Kim smiled at him, waving sligthly. "No, I haven't. You're not that late." she said with a giggle. He didn't seem too physically hurt... Then again Madam Pomfrey had probably done a good job to help him heal.

"How are you doing?" she asked after they sat down by a table.

"I'm very well, thank you!" He said, laughing a bit nervously, and looking at her. She was quite pretty, even though her violent tendencies were... offputting. He gulped, and sat down, ordering a cup of sweet, black tea, before folding his hands on the table, licking his lips nervously.

"Uh.. So.. It was very nice of you, to treat me here," he whispered, looking around him at the many different little couples, realising just now that this was an establishment with a... dating target audience.

[lotusvivi]

"Heh... No worries. I figured it's the least I can do for....Smashing your face in..." She said, her cheeks a faint pink when thinking back at the accidental hit during that match.

Kim ordered a nice herbal tea for herself and leaned back. By looking around, she did also notice the other couples in there. Some even being too busy sucking face to even bother with their drinks. It was a bit annoying... Maybe they should've gone somewhere else.

One couple in particular was very.. intimate. Kim was amazed they were able to keep their clothes on.

"..."

"Uuuuh..." He looked towards the same couple, and gave a slow gulp, coughing before looking away. What was he supposed to do in there, it was so horribly uncomfortable. And gosh, the rumours that would spread... Everyone would think he and Kim were dating. And he did not want that. Also, it did not make sense!

"...I heard that the tea here is really good...!"

[lotusvivi]

"Yeah, me too." she said, dragging her eyes away from the shameless couple. This was a little awkward...

A waitress came over, letting them order some tea. After she returned, Kim sighed. Maybe they should've gone somewhere else... She could already hear the girls gossiping in a few days...

Eduard gave a long, slow sigh, looking away from the couple as well. It was so embarrassing. He looked up at Kim once more, and smiled a bit, giving a cough. "So... How have your lessons been going...?"

At least that path was safe, right? Girls tended to start blabbing when asked questions, so he guessed it would work swimmingly. He looked up, as a waitress returned with two cups of steaming tea, putting his hands around his cup as long as he saw it, loving the feeling of his hands almost burning. It would cover for the fact he was slowly beginning to sweat.

"They're going fine." Kim answered. She smiled at the waitress when she came over with their tea, and wrapped her own hands around her cup. It was too hot to hold it like this, and her hands stung just a bit, but it was better than the cold outside.

"What about yours?"
