[Since this is an official date, she wears a nice elaborated kimono with matching sakura flowers pinned in her hair. How the Witch managed to get Spring blossoms in the middle of Fall shall remain a mystery. She holds in her hands a antique book, one of the very first copy of Romeo and Juliet that was published after Shakespeare. How she got that book is also a mystery. But it is enough to pay for the sake and the cake. After all, it is not everyday that a Grim Reaper cooks for someone else. Everything, even a date, as to be met with equivalency. She knocks on the door of the morgue, waiting patiently for the door to open.]

[The Undertaker quickly goes to the door and opens it, stepping out to greet her. He's not wearing his usual robes~ he's decided to wear something more formal.]

Ah~ There's the fairest Lady~ How do you do~? [He places a polite kiss on the back of her hand] I trust you did not have to walk a great distance to reach me~

[hitsuzen_witch]

[She smiles as he walks out to greet her, noting his more dressed uniform than what she usually sees him with]

I am quite well, thank you. I do hope you are well too. [She bows her head slightly as he kisses her hand] No, the walk was not terribly long. I do live in the village as well.

[undertakerlol]

Splendid~! Please do come in~ [Holds the door open for her]

[hitsuzen_witch]

[She walks in and looks around the Undertaker's home. It is kept clean, of course, and the decorations placed around the house dimly reminds Yuuko of a Victorian morgue. Even the air here smells like flowers and...cake? She turns to the Undertaker, smiling]

Your baking smell wonderful...

[undertakerlol]

Oh why thank you~ I took the liberty and made it chocolate~ After all, it's not a sin to indulge in the Devil's Food cake every once in a while~

[hitsuzen_witch]

[She laughs softly at his joke and nods once]

Ah yes, what a wonderful idea! It's been a while since I've had the chance to eat chocolate. Although, if I had known, I would have brought a wonderful wine I've discovered to marry its flavor well with chocolate.

[She offers the book she had kept in her hands since she has arrived]

Here, a small token of thanks for the invitation. I thought you might appreciate it more than me.

[undertakerlol]

I do have wine in case your mind changes later one, my Lady~

[He blinks at her offering, gingerly holding the book in his bony hands.]

You needn't to bring me such an exquisite gift, my Lady~

[hitsuzen_witch]

That's a wonderful idea! Perhaps we should keep the tea for later on then!

[She smiles, pleased that he likes her gift]

Of course I had to. You have invited me in your home to sit at your table and share your food. The polite thing to do was to bring something of mine to repay for your kindness, my good Sir...

[undertakerlol]

[The Undertaker places a hand to his heart]

Your kind gesture has made my heart flutter~ Oh gracious of you~! [he sets the book down on a counter and pulls a chair out for Yuuko]

Please, please, sit~

[hitsuzen_witch]

[The gesture makes her laughs softly, honestly amused by her friend's antics. She sits down on the chair, holding herself elegantly as she looks up to The Undertaker, nodding at him with a smile]

Thank you...

[undertakerlol]

[The Undertaker pulls out two very fancy wine glasses and shows her a bottle of red wine]

Côtes du rhône - Le Pape noir, for you~?

[hitsuzen_witch]

[Where one would be impressed by his highly refined tastes, Yuuko is not. One with such knowledge of the world and experience can only recognize easily the best quality available. She nods, smiling]

That's wonderful! It has been a while since I've had the pleasure of tasting such a delicious red wine.

[undertakerlol]

Only the best for a woman of your grace~

[He pours the wine his glass and hers. He sits down across from her and raises his glass for a toast~]

To Life and Death~!

[hitsuzen_witch]

[She smiles]

You flatter me too much, my friend.

[She holds out her glass, letting the rim of it rings against his. She can not help herself but to wonder is he knows about her dying in her world for making such a toast. Still, her second chance at life here should be live fully]

To Life and Death.

[She takes a sip from her glass and let the flavorful savor of the wine overwhelm her tasting sense. This is truly delightful.]
