Who: Lilly (
propre_amour) and Roy (
bad_twin)
When: Today, sometime between mid and late afternoon.
Where: Mamie's cafe.
Warnings: Stifling with embarrassment...!
Roy: *having an afternoon lunch at the cafe by himself, he's looking more absent-minded than usual*
Lilly: *is stalking away from Kathy's ranch after a short visit with her horse, lost in her own thoughts*
Roy: ...nn? *distracted by Lilly's presence for a moment, he tries to get her attention with the first thing that pops to his mind - he picks up his spoon and uses it to flick a piece of his chocolate sundae at her face*
Lilly: Wha--!? *she places two slender fingers to her cheek, and is instantly enraged at discovering chocolate sauce dripping down her chin* What insolence is this!!!? HOW DARE YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE! SHOW YOUR FACE, WOMAN-HATING COWARD!!
Roy: AHAH--oh. *was about to laugh, but instead he just froze for a moment before looking down on his food and trying to nomnomnom it all up, in hopes of removing all incriminating evidence!!*
Lilly: *whips around to find the source of the sudden laughter, only to have her eyes rest on...Roy pigging out on a chocolate sundae!?*
R-roy!?! You did this?! *shocked*
Roy: *he finishes most of it just in time and looks up at her, with chocolate sauce all around his mouth, enough to be mistaken for a beard... he didn't even swallow the ones in his mouth yet!* Wh-whut are yoo on 'bout--?? *play it cool, just play it cool...*
Lilly: *he doesn't look so great with facial hair...* Wh-what do you think you're doing? Were you just eating ice cream, or not!?
Roy: *acting oblivious, despite the obvious* What? I wasn't doin' anything! I was just sittin' here, uh.. enjoying a nice and quiet afternoon 'till I... ahh... noticed my favourite person in all of Budehuc lookin' a little lost-- and with ice cream on her face!! *his mouth quivers a little as he tries not to laugh*
Lilly: *she scowls, not believing his story for even a moment, but somehow has a hard time resisting his wily...and ill thought out...charms~* Well... if you say so then. *smiles a bit, wiping the rest of the ice cream away hastily* But if I ever find out who did this, I'll cut them in to a million pieces!!!
Roy: *smiles at his BRILLIANT acting~* Ahahaha~!! ;;; *leans forward in an attempt to cover his empty bowl on the table, but pretends it's all part of the charm* N-not if I beat you to it first! *...although cutting himself to a million pieces doesn't sound like a good time at all*
Lilly: Thats sweet of you~! *smiles brilliantly, somehow becoming convinced he couldn't be the culprit...despite the astounding amount of evidence* What are you doing here, Roy? It, uh, certainly is a nice day out~
Roy: *while still leaning forward, he rests his head on his hands and looks up at her* It's gettin' better by the minute! *mostly because he just dodged a bullet* So, what was Miss Lilly Pendragon thinkin' about before some evildoer violated her feminine face with ice cream?~ *curious, curious!*
Lilly: *is suddenly brimming with excitement and energy* I was thinking about how great it I'll feel once I've won the horse race!! You will be cheering me on, right? *smiles almost too sweetly and gestures towards an empty seat opposite of Roy* Do you mind if I join you~?
Roy: *gulps... not sure how he feels about her sitting too close to the evidence* Oh, su-sure... by all means, sit! What's so great 'bout a horse race, though? *hasn't been that interested since it's not something he can compete in; yes, he's self-centered like that*
Lilly: *takes the seat without question, and shoots him an incredulous look in regards to his last statement* Whats so great about it...? Winning, of course! Which is what I fully intend to do!! *looks as if she's preparing to go on a world conquest*
Roy: Hey, I like winning, too!! *grins and says it as if it's a hobby* In fact, with the recent tournament, I happened to win a lotta money. Now that I'm gonna be rich and all, maybe I'll treat you to a-- *is about to lean back on his chair, but quickly remembers the bowl and leans forward like a weirdo again* --ughhh!! ...*innocent smile~*.......you were saying~?
Lilly: Which tournament was that? *enthralled with Roy's winning prowess* You'll treat me to a...? Oh, I understand if you want to keep it a surprise, I love surprises~! *watches his movements curiously, fighting the urge to laugh*
Roy: That dojo guy's fighting tournament, of course! What did you think?! *leaves out the part where he wasn't really fighting, but only won through a bet* I'm the best in town! Under my tutelage, I can make just about anyone a winner, and you won't be an exception!! *tries to give a reassuring cool smile, but only ends up looking dorky with that chocolate sauce still all over his face* Catch my drift?
Lilly: Oh, you mean John? I can't believe he can even OWN a dojo, I've never seen him fight a day in his life!! But thats beside the point. You won a fighting tournament?? Really?! Wow! Thats amazing!! *swoons~ at first, then is slightly taken aback by his...odd beard* So... *drops her voice to a whisper* Do you think you could teach me? I don't need...help winning or anything...but it could be useful...
Roy: Teach ya how to win a horse race? *definitely not* ...Of course I can!! I'm Roy, I'm a winner!! *serious tone all of a sudden* But it's grueling, hard work, you should know. In order to be fully committed to this training regime, you're gonna have to spend a lotta time with me. *nodnod* If you were to suddenly leave for Harmonia, well... it could all come crumbling down on us! Are you committed, Miss Lilly Pendragon?! *intimidatingly points his finger really close to her face*
Lilly: *stares cross-eyed at his finger, and suddenly looks super serious* C-crumbling down...? Hmm. I suppose if it is vital...I can put off my trip to Harmonia. *solemn nod* I am committed, Roy...Roy...what is your last name? *assumes he is of high status, because he is so dashing~*
Roy: *well... can't let her down now; he turns his finger pointing to himself, and says the most common Suikoden fake name that comes to mind* Sir Roy Reinbach IV, at your service, milady!! *spontaneously stands up on his chair, as if this is one of his musicals and everyone's going to break into song* ... But you can call me Roy, sweetie! *superiorly looks down on her* ...... *no singing, how awkward*
Lilly: *flushes with embarrassment* O-okay, Sir Roy! *fights back the odd urge to sing...for some reason* So, how do these lessons go about? *wonders if she should stand on her chair, too*
Roy: Well...! Uh. Hm... Okay. *he pauses to think about that, it's a good question after all - maybe this does call for a song... here goes!* Anything they can be, you can be greater, sooner or later you'll be grea-- *gets so deep into it, that he's about to step on the table, but instead steps on his bowl, loses his balance, and crash lands on top of Lilly - it was so instant that he didn't even have time to scream*
Lilly: EEEEK!! *barely has time to yell before being sat on...but is slighly thankful the commotion hid her flushed cheeks* Get-get-get off of me!!!! I am a lady, and I will not stand for such...forward...public displays!!! *tries to shove Roy off, but her arms are pinned under him*
Roy: *he's too worried rubbing his mouth to get a grasp of what's going on* Oww, I think I bit mythelf... *looks at her shoulder, where his mouth landed, and notices the... chocolate stain* AW NO WAY, I'm bleeding!!! *not sure how it's possible to confuse chocolate with blood, but he's horrified nonetheless ...and still doesn't realize that he's sitting on her* M-my career... it'th all... oh wait. Wait a sec. *smiles in relief, as it's quite clear that it's chocolate now* Don't worry! *yep, self-centered*
Lilly: Sir Roy, I do believe your beard has stained my tunic. *is surprisingly nonchalont, and bites back a giggle* Has someone, perhaps, hit you with chocolate sauce as well? *resists the urge to laugh REALLY loud at Roy's face and tries to squirm out from under him to avoid further stains*
Roy: Wh-what?! *turns red from embarrassment, he can't believe he had chocolate sauce on his face all along!* I--uh, NO! Uhh.. that stain was on you when you got here!! *he quickly gets off, still blushing, and uses his yellow scarf to cover his face like a ninja* Y'know, th-this training thing is kinda abrupt, Miss Lilly Pendragon, you should gimme time to prepare your lessons first!! This is important stuff we're dealin' with here, yeah?!
Lilly: *is relieved he is as embarrassed as her* Oh! If you want, you can wipe off your face on my sleeve. *she shrugs, still laying flat on her back* You can take as much time as you need...i-if you want, that is. *smiles a little, suddenly aware of the attention they've attracted--she quickly stands up, brushing dirt from her tunic hastily* E-either way...I look forward to it, I guess! *her color of her face matches the red feather on her hat a little too well...*
Roy: M-m-my FACE... is..... CLEAN!! *not sure what that's supposed to mean, but it's all he could think of in response to her strange offer* ... But I look forward to it, too... I guess! *averts his one eye, the only feature of his face that's not covered at the moment - although he really has no idea how these lessons will go, especially after a moment like this*
Lilly: *is snapped back to her senses, and is shocked at how many strange things happened in a matter of minutes* I...I apologize if I've offended you...I only...*she trailed off, her face a mixture of shame and...some other sickening feeling* I-I'm sorry, Mister Roy!! *she bowed her head clumsily before spinning on her heel and putting as much distance between her and the cafe as possible*
Roy: ... *CONFUSED. About many things. But mostly this one* ... I'm MISTER Roy now..? -- Hey, wait, you didn't offen-- Lill-- *realizes that she's too far away by now* Aw man, why're they all weird like that?!
