(Mun notes: Obligatory cafe post it is. Tear has used the remaining cherry blossoms to try some new recipes which will be served at the cafe for the next week or so. We've got the sakura tea, sakura tea soup (it's a dish with vegetables and rice; adding hot water/tea causes the cherry blossoms that decorate it to bloom, it sounded pretty neat) and

Oh my gosh, the food really is good! Mr. Raven really wasn't kidding!

[a_severed_fate]

Oh. [Tear looked up from her work.] Well thank you. I'm glad you approve of it.

Raven said something about this place, did he? Somehow I'm not surprised. That man has a knack of appearing anywhere and everywhere.

[She sets the knife she was working on down, turning her full attention on Estelle.]

You're new to Memento Eden, aren't you? I don't believe we've met before.

[extreme_stars]

Yes, my name is Estelle! It's very nice to meet you! Are you one of Raven's friends?

[a_severed_fate]

It's nice to meet you as well, Estelle. My name is Tear.

Hm? Well, I suppose... He pops up every now and again, and he lightens the mood.

[Nods slowly.] Yes, I guess you could say I'm a friend of his. Be careful, though, occasionally you have to keep Raven in line.

[shitsuji_sorewa]

Ah, good morning, Tear-san. You seem to be in good spirits today.

[a_severed_fate]

[Her expression's still a little soft as she turns away from the birds and addresses Hayate.]

Oh, good morning!
I suppose that I am, although it's still a little early to tell.

[Despite being on her way to her first day of work, Rena, in her personal waitress uniform, is distracted by the birds and is torn between not wanting to bother them, needing to go to work, and wanting to take them home; so, instead, she's standing outside the café staring at the birds.]

[a_severed_fate]

[Tear happened to notice Rena paused outside, looking indecisive. She strode over to the front door and opened it, peering out.]

Oh, so you're the new waitress that was hired, Rena? We'll be opening in 38 minutes.

[She follows the shorter girl's gaze towards where the birds are busily fluttering about. She tries to keep her "cute mode" down to a minimal blush.]

They... they're quite adorable, aren't they? I think the eggs will hatch in a few days, since the parents seem more anxious than usual.

[fate_cleaver]

Okay, okay~

[Wiggles around while watching the birds.]

Haaaaaaaaaaau~! ♥ They're so cuuuuute! Aiiiiiiie! I want to take them home~

[a_severed_fate]

Okay. I just wanted to let you know. [She looks Rena over, blushing slightly at her somewhat revealing uniform. How can Rena wear that? It shows too much skin. Tear does not understand.]

U-um... did the manager ask you to wear that? It's a little... um...

[Is distracted by her wiggling around "hauuu"-ing at the birds. Uh oh, time to protect cute things!! But... they're cute, so she wants to go into fangirl mode. Resist, Tear, resist darnit!]

Y-yess...!!! They're really quite cuu--- hey wait!?! Rena, you can't just take them home!! The eggs are about to hatch! If you disturb them, they won't be able to keep the eggs warm and the chicks will die! You don't want that to happen do you? Come on, now. Wait until the chicks have gotten a little bigger before you get too close to them.

Sorry, but you'll have to settle for watching from afar...

*walks up, eating a piece of cake*

What are you looking at? I don't see anything interesting outside...

[a_severed_fate]

[Doesn't even bother looking up at him. On the one hand she's ignoring you, on the other she's comfortable enough to speak to you without being at all polite about it] The birds. They're so cute... ♥

Don't speak when your mouth is full. It's bad manners.

[apurposetolive]

*swallows*

I never would have had you pegged to go gaga over cute things.

[a_severed_fate]

[Tear is now actually paying attention. Busted.]

...
...
...eh?

[And he now has her attention.]

... What makes you say that?
