"Yeah, think so. It's cinnamon; I enjoy a change from what I normally drink."

*The cinnamon tea smells exotically sweet, the aroma of the spice wafting throughout the room.*

"They say it's expensive, but I have money to spare. Might as well get the best."

*Hu Lang brings out a small red box, uncovering a set of small mooncakes.*

"They also say these are for special occasions. I think this counts."
James
*Sirdan sniffed at the tea, and then nodded. His stance relaxed, and his shoulders slumped. He rested his elbows on the table, holding his fist together. *

"Oh.." *Sirdan looked surprised, and then turned over to the red box. He instinctively put one hand to his heart for a moment, before returning to the table. *

"You're very kind, Hu Lang." 

*The elf smiled at her, and then examined the mooncake with his eyes for half a minute, using the time to think of what to say next. Ask her for a date? Ask her for a relationship? It seems they're both interested in eachother... *

"You have beautiful eyes."
John
"Aw, you are too."

*Tian's eyes sparkle at the compliment, the oriate playing with her hair. She brings out some small plates, setting three mooncakes for each. Gracefully, Hu Lang pours the cinnamon tea into each cup.*

"You're very skilled. A warrior, spellcaster, what else? A decent cook, maybe an archer?"

*Hu Lang places her head in her hands, tilting her head to the side. Looking at Sirdan, she smiles, her tail wagging behind her.*

"A lover?"
James
*He smiled back at her, looking at the mooncake and taking the plate.* 

"Thank you." 

*He sipped on the cinnamon tea, watching her tail wag.* 

"An archer too. But you're a wonderful cook and businesswoman, and a gorgeous oriate." 

"As for the last one, would you like to learn? Some things are best experienced after all."
John
"Oh, experience? How about we-"

*A knock is suddenly heard on the door. Hana enters, carrying a tray of dumplings with soy sauce.*

"Ms. Hua? I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I made something light."

*.....Oh, and she was so close too. She had lived for over a century now, and yet she still wasn't able to find anyone. Hu Lang was basically hunting for a special someone now.*

"Leave it on table, Hana. Thank you."

*The oriate listens, walks out the door, bows, and leaves.*
James
*Sirdan stared at Hu Lang, a bit of delight showing on his face as she continued her sentence.

Then his face contorted instanteously into a shocked look, and he turned left to the door*

"Oh. Thank you! Hana... San, was it?" *He returned to his polite demeanor to calm himself down.*

*He looked at the dumplings. They were hot, moist and delicious. But he didn't feel like eating. Not the food on the table anyway.*

"Aw, that was a mood ruiner." *He chuckled.*

*He thought about the next step. The fact that Hu Lang knew he was a womanizer, knew that he got together with Yukine... And yet still seems interested. It seems a bit far fetched to him. He never thought himself that attractive, after all.*

*But if the Oriate is willing, who is he to deny? Do he question? Or go with the flow and seduce her?*

"You don't mind someone like me, do you?"
John
"We'll have to bring it back, then."

*As Sirdan asked his question, Hu Lang stood up. Strolling towards the elf, Tian begins loosening the silver sash holding her robes together.*

"I've lived for a hundred years, Sirdan. All this time, I've never found anyone special to be with. I think it's time I finally found someone."

*And the sash falls to the floor, Hu Lang holding the robes together with her hands.*
James
"The food can wait." 

*He smiled. He felt his heart pounding as Tian closed in, and then loosened her silver sash. His heart could bounce out at any moment.* 

*Why... Does every encounter escalate so quickly? He is quite sure he don't have special pheromones.* 

"Uhm..." *"Really?" Was the next thing he wanted to say. In his eyes, there was no way someone as attractive as Hu Lang would've found no one, but who is he to guess at a maiden's heart?*

*She... Doesn't seems like a maiden right now though.* 

*He stood up and turned toward her, wrapping one arm around her her head. Then he pressed one of her ear against his chest, with his other hand rubbing her earfluff with his thumb. His heartbeat was fast.*
John
*Sirdan can see Hu Lang's tail wagging at lightning speeds behind her. The oriate lets out what seems like a moan as the elf rubs her ear. She could hear him; his heart rate was fast. Tian presses her own chest against him, so he could feel her heart beat with his.*

"I know that I don't have a bust like the others. But I hope this can make up for it."

*The silver robe is let loose, and Hu Lang lets it slide off her slim figure. She wraps a hand around the elf's neck, bringing him close to her.*

"Kiss me, Sirdan."
James
*Sirdan looked anxious. He remembered a moment just like this - where he refused the temptation and went for a boring negotiation, disappointing the girl in question and leading to quite a lot of misunderstanding.* 

*He leaned against her, putting one hand on her tail, brushing against her fluffy tail. Then he grabbed her hand, brushing her hair gently. The mood in the room was intoxicating, and he couldn't care less about Hu Lang's bust size right now* 

"You're anxious, sweetheart." 

*He pulled her back near the door, and then sweeped one of the chair toward it, using it as an improvised barricade. Then he brought her along to a corner of the room, away from any prying eyes. He pressed her against the wall, then lowered himself, planting his soft lips on hers.* 

"You like it?"
