Tea party!

Who: Zelda, Zelos and Guy
Where: Ordo 3
When: Early evening, the 8th
Style: Brackets brackets brackets
Status: Closed

[Zelda informs Zelos that they will be having a visitor after she gets off the SFC with Guy, then goes about making some rose hip tea. She still has the cake that she'd been planning to invite Shizuo over to share with her and Zelos, but... that won't be happening anytime soon. After some hesitation, she sets it on the table as well. Izaya's tea set. Shizuo's cake. It hurts, but it spurs her on too. She can't despair, she has to figure Vatheon out.]

[The embarrassment clinches it, but... wait, is he laughing? Uhh...]

What's that for? I know I'm not wrong here, bud. I'm never wrong about these things.

[Aaaa oh dear Lorelei give him a second to wipe at his eyes--]

Hahaha... just-- just how easily you assume I'm trying to... to pursue her or something!

[Sure, he admired the woman... maybe a lot more than he'd like to admit... and yeah, he wanted to get to know her better. But come on, he wasn't THAT obvious. There was not shot to be taken!

...Was there?]

[Zelos folds his arms, having stopped walking when Guy began his great guffaw.]

Aren't you? At the very least you want her to notice you. You dressed up to come over and you were pretty overly polite but only to her. You even ate those cookies even though you obviously didn't like 'em!

I know you can't touch her but man you're sure acting like you want to.

Hah, I don't know when treating a woman with the dignity she deserves suddenly became code for a man wanting his hands all over her. [A hand moves to gently rest against his hip.] Not sure I could agree with that.

[He raises an eyebrow, arms still crossed.]

And the rest of it?

[He hesitates for a split second before giving a shrug.]

Not really the type to draw attention to myself, honestly, so I don't know where you got that idea. And one doesn't need special reason to be polite - sometimes it's just a manner of your company. I did the things I did out of courtesy. Nothing wrong with that.

[The hesitation may have only been for a split second but it was obvious enough to Zelos; Guy's at least partially lying to him. That's fine, though. Personal stuff, matters of the heart, and there's the unspoken bro code that Zelos won't say a word to anyone else until Guy does first, of course. He's totally certain he wouldn't want Guy prying if their situations were reversed, in any case, so instead of pressing the blonde for the truth, he gives him a knowing look, hooks his hands behind his head, and continues the path they'd been walking.]

Whatever you say, man. I'm make sure to tell her just how much you loved her lemon cookies, then.

[What? He never said he wouldn't tease.]

[Good thing Zelos had continued, or he might have caught the grimace that flashed across Guy's face before he follows behind. Not that he didn't want Zelda to receive the compliment - she really did do very well.

But.

Lemon.]

...It's appreciated. She tries hard. I'm sure she needs a little encouragement.

Hmm~ It's true. Maybe you should come give her some pointers since she gets cooking better the way you explain it.

[It sounds like a tease but it really is an invitation. Why not spend more time over, Guy? They did both enjoy his company, after all.]

[More social calls? With these two?

Heh. He'd be okay with that.]

If it helps? Sure, I wouldn't mind that. Only if I'm not being a bother, though - don't want to get into anyone's hair. Besides, I'm a friend, not a teacher.

Pff. Why would I invite you if you were a bother? But if you don't wanna play teacher that's fine. I just thought you might enjoy the time together~

[You'd love to, wouldn't you~? And maybe Zelos can find some excuse to leave and they can get to know each other better. He's really lookin' out for you there, bud.

Though, y'know, he wouldn't mind hanging out with Guy on his own either. Brotime isn't exactly something he has often and even just walking and talking like this is nice.]

[Oh hrk. Enough with the implications, Zelos, geez! Guy chuckles weakly, moving forward enough to playfully shove at the redhead's shoulder.]

Aaa, come on, man, what did I just say? She's just a friend! If I spend time with her, one-on-one or otherwise, that's the only reason why.

[His tone still stays light as he speaks - man, even he's a little annoyed, he's hardly holding this against Zelos. Keep it all in good fun - no need to get so ruffled over something like this.]

Whatever you say, bud!

[He gives Guy a lighthearted shove back in retaliation, careful to keep his strength at normal human levels. He really will let it go now; it wouldn't do to back Guy into a corner of denial or anything.

The split towards the grocery comes up all too soon and Zelos bids Guy a jovial goodnight.]

We really should do this again sometime, or maybe go out on the town or something. You in?

As long as you're up for something other than insulting my fashion sense? [Guy shrugs, letting his expression easily break into a grin.] I don't have a problem with that at all.

Just let me know, alright?

[He gives a sharp little salute with two fingers - a corny little gesture when accompanied with that grin, but it's still genuine, even as he turns and continues his way down towards the apartments.

Heh. How strangely refreshed he felt right about now.

He really did need this.]
