[unholydecree]

Good afternoon, everyone. This is a general announcement and request to anyone willing to help out during these troubled times. The weather is cooler and the locals sorely unprepared for it. Snow drives us indoors and the lack of supplies do little to ward the cold from our bones

Cesare, that's wonderful, I have quite a bit I can donate.

[unholydecree]

This hardly surprises me, my Lady. You are always very generous with everything that you do. May I ask what kinds of things you will be donating?

[white_polaris]

You give me too much credit, Cesare. But I have several blankets and warm clothes that can be donated. If you would like, anyone in need of a home is welcome to stay in the manor for the winter... yourself included, Cesare.

[unholydecree]

Oh- [No way. He somehow doubts she would approve of what he gets up to in his little room above the Church.]

That's very kind of you but I am pleased with where I am, it stays very warm in the Church.

But I will be sure and mention your generosity if I hear from anyone needing a warmer place to stay for the winter.

[white_polaris]

[Cesare, she'll kill you if she finds out you did anything with her daughter.]

You still owe me dinner.

[unholydecree]

[What momma doesn't know~]

I do, you're right. What would you like, and when are you available?

[white_polaris]

[She's FIVE, you pedophile.]

Anything is fine, Cesare. And I'm available now.

[unholydecree]

[What Cesare doesn't know- wait he probably wouldn't care. She LOOKS 18]

Perfect, I have yet to eat. Shall I come calling at your house in, say an hour?

[white_polaris]

[Which is why Serenity doesn't care about killing you :). Cause she looks so innocent.]

That sounds lovely, Cesare.

[unholydecree]

[When asked to become Wicked Lady's friend this isn't what she meant? 8D]

I will see you then.

[And only a couple minutes late after the hour, Cesare is stepping out of a taxi and making his way up the walkway to the doors of her large manor. He dusts some snow from his shoulders before knocking and taking a step back. The robes are just too impractical in bad weather they get dirty so fast, so Cesare is in his regular clothing for their little date.]

[Action]

[white_polaris]

[No, it isn't.]

[Serenity answered the door, and smiled at the taller man. She was wearing her normal gown as the inside of the manor was comfortably warm and as always, welcoming.]

Cesare, always prompt, please, come in.

[unholydecree]

[But. She's hot.]

Thank you, my Lady. Your home is always inviting.

[He's careful to wipe his feet as he enters and immediately the warmth soaks in through his clothes giving him a smile to offer her.]

You look lovely.

[white_polaris]

[No excuses.]

I can only hope it remains that way for those I care for.

[A servant takes Cesare's coat with a smile and Serenity waits.]

I hope you're hungry?

[unholydecree]

I am ravenous, my Lady. [Cesare takes her hand and bows to kiss the knuckles lightly. He places her hand at the crook of his elbow and covers it with his own.]

Though I would have been happy to take you out instead. Maybe next time.

[white_polaris]

In such weather as this, I thought it better that we not travel too far. That you came at all is makes me very glad. Besides, I have something I wish to show you after we eat.

[She guides Cesare to the main dining room.] I hope you don't mind that it is just us? My wards are all out and about. Although Subaru told me he was helping you with donations! How wonderful.

[unholydecree]

How could I mind having you all to myself?

[Once they are there he lets go of her hand and, ever the gentleman under such circumstances, pulls her chair out for her before sitting himself.]

You have my curiosity piqued about what you could have to show me.
