[CRAWLING OUT OF UNDERNEATH THE TABLE how did he get there]

... So there's where that lead...

[sophistly]

[For his part, Break is utterly unaffected. His eye is closed, expression amused.]

I rather imagine that sort of a discovery is less than enlightening.

[haplessfool]

[Just going to sit on the floor then before whoa there's a man there.

...

Climbing up into the chair.]

Y'ave Earl Grey, mate?

[sophistly]

I do indeed!

[At which point he proceeds to drink that Earl Grey and offers nothing.]

[angelphones]

[Katsu is wandering past, taking the time to explore his new 'home'. He blinks in curiosity at the tea table. ... Huh.]

Hello?

[sophistly]

[And a floppy wave from Break, seated still.]

And a good day to you--or perhaps only possibly so, if you wish to be so inquisitive.

[angelphones]

I wouldn't want to impose, if you're waiting on someone.

[sophistly]

I'm hardly waiting upon anyone. At this present moment, at least.

[An arched eyebrow. You are interesting, actually, because he recognizes you.]

Please, do take a seat! Tea?

[fortune_wheel]

[Social gatherings are always excellent sources of information gathering, though it's a pity she doesn't exactly know how to socialize, so Naoto finds her way over, pretending to look casual and just coming off stiff]

What's the occasion?

[sophistly]

[It's okay, neither does he and he smiles at her--or maybe above her. It's difficult to say.]

Why, it is tea time! I had thought that to be rather clear.

[fortune_wheel]

[Is that a crack at her height. She takes the empty seat at the table and crosses her legs in a very gentlemanly manner]

The people here seem not to observe tea time all that often; I'm simply curious as to what sparked this occasion. [Though that curiosity doesn't stop her from helping herself to a scone and some custard]

[sophistly]

[Wouldn't dare He notes that, but he rather thinks that it is a girl that sits before him; the differences are not difficult for him to sort through.

Not that it matters much to him.]

Perhaps it could be said that, for the spark to occur, we needed the striking of something--in this case of an idea!

[Yeah mostly he was just bored.]

Though I daresay you seem right at home.

[treasurehunted]

[Pirate's been around for a while now, but well, he was laying low! But don't mind the parrot that lands on your table and cocks its head to get a better look at your cake, Break.

Then the owner lumbers on over, noooot exactly looking ready to apologize. A quick scan over the table and he mimics the same tilt of his parrot. Can't forget the cocky grin either.]

Oy, you got anything stronger?

[sophistly]

[He is watching you, bird. Don't you dare eat his cake.

But as for Motochika, he simply smiles.]

I suppose I could leave the tea leaves in a minute or two longer, if that is what you prefer.

[treasurehunted]

Tch.

[He'll help himself to that seat, plopping down unceremoniously. All the same, he doesn't seem unperturbed.]

Tea's not exactly what I'm after. Not my kind of drink. Appreciate the offer anyway.

[And the parrot scoots closer to the cake. Whatcha gonna do about it.]

[sophistly]

[A smiiiiile.]

Ah, so you are the sort to appreciate an offer that never, in fact, was made. How generous of you, sir!

[He's just going to pick up that plate and start eating it, then. :|]

[bunniesarelife]

[Honey's walking past and pauses to stare at the tea. He takes a few steps closer, glances at Break, and then turns his attention to the small cakes.]

Drinking tea by yourself is kind of lonely, right? I bet it would be a lot more fun if I joined you!

[sophistly]

[Have a cheerful smile.]

Do you? My, that could be a dangerous wager to make!

[bunniesarelife]

[Honey was clearly not expecting that response. Cheeks puffed out, he nods several times.]

Yes, I do think so! Eating with me and Usa-chan would be much more fun that eating by yourself.

[sophistly]

[He chuckles then.]

A curious logic; presumably, one has less to eat when one must share it.

But if you have something to say, do speak up! One ought to mean what he says and say what he means, after all.
