Emeraude wandered the tea shop, humming quietly to herself as she admired all the pastries. It was really a wonder that they got replenished every day, what with the disappearance of the Shades. Still, it still remained one of her favourite places in the City

Shinju entered the shop with a small yawn and reached up to cover his mouth with one hand.

His hair seemed a bit less messy than usual, as if it had fallen from its normal place. The blind boy had actually waken up a bit late that morning, and rushed out of his apartment in the hope that Emeraude didn't consider earlier than 9:30 as "late morning".

Emeraude rarely woke up herself before 10, but made exception that day to wake up slightly earlier so as to get herself ready. Not that she looked much different.

"Good morning, Shinju!" She greeted from where she heard the door open, glancing over her shoulder to smile at him brightly. It could be heard in her voice, even if he couldn't exactly see it. "I didn't make you get up too early, did I?" She laughed weakly, approaching him.

"Good morning," he returned with a similar smile. It seemed as if there was still a little bit of tiredness in his eyes, but he was mostly awake.

"Oh, not at all," Shinju replied with somewhat of an awkward grin, reaching to scratch the back of his neck.

"I'm glad to hear it," She nodded, the smile holding. Emmy likely wouldn't have been able to forgive herself, even if it was something so minor as waking someone up a bit early.

"Have you eaten yet, or shall we make a full meal of it?"
