[She glances over at him, then returns back to her chocolates.]

Good morning~ Nice to be out, isn't it?

[She's biting back a smile - he has beautiful eyes and a gentle, kind smile, and it's all adding up to make her heart beat like a drum in her chest and her fingers, mixing the raspberry extract into the chocolate, tremble. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself.]

Were you locked up last week?

[She knows he's checking her out, and she takes a moment when he looks away to hurriedly smooth her hair and check her reflection in the microwave - she looks okay. She returns to her chocolate, wishing he would - touch her hand, kiss her -

Kiss her. Grif. What the hell is she doing, feeling like this? There's Grif, and Ned ... but she can't deny how her heart is racing.]

Mmm-hmm. My roommate Gokudera tried to escape. How about you?

[She finishes mixing the chocolate with the raspberry extract and takes a break before she melts it down to put it into the molds - cute little hearts! She leans against the counter, crossing her legs at the ankle.]

He's a nice guy when you talk to him. You know him?

[She beams.]

Are you from Japan too? He was telling me about that last week - then he started going on about some hundred-year cannon - I didn't follow a lot of of it, but it sounded very technological.

Oh, that's right. He's from ... Sicily, I think? Are you from around there too?

[Her attention is temporarily caught by his tongue flicking out, and hers unconsciously imitates his. Flustered, she looks back to check on the chocolates, regains her composure, and turns back.]

I'm from Maine, in America. It's really beautiful there, right by the coast.

I was in Rome for a horse race a while back. I wonder if we would have been there at the same time...?

[She thinks back to her jockey days, the Rome horse race - at the time she had been focused on winning, and now she's cursing herself for not paying more attention to the crowd.]

It's a great place to visit. You can do just about anything you can dream of somewhere.

Oh. I guess not, then. I was there in ... 1998 or so. Anyway, I probably would have seen you if you were there!

Yes, do! And if you do, be sure you stop by the Pie Hole in Papen City in Maine. [she blushes] I'll make you the best pie you've ever tasted!
