<span style="font-weight: bold">East Berlin, 4:22 p.m.</span><br/><br/>The young woman who had offered a seat to Hanz-Eren was really young, probably in her early twenties. Her hair was blond, tough not a platinum color. It had the color of honey, approximately, and her eyes had an icy blue. Despite the color, the girl's gaze had some warmth to it, as well as her smile. On the inside, Alexia felt a little surprised. He was more handsome than she had anticipated from the few pictures she had seen. And more open than she would have expected, as well.<br/><br/>Pushing these thoughts aside, as well as the memories of the day she had gotten her assignment, the young woman focused all of her attention on the man, while still keeping a casual demeanor. Watching as he took off his hat and coat, she looked outside for a bit. It looked like the day was growing colder, and she hoped her own coat took care of keeping her warm for long enough to reach the house where she was staying.<br/><br/>"You are most welcome", she finally replied. "It would be cruel to deprive someone of a cup of tea on such a cool afternoon, after all". On his information about the place being run by an Englishman, Alexia looked surprised. "I did not know it. But I have not been here for too long." The girl showed a little bit of a shy smile. "Other than the people I am staying with, I don't know anyone else really well".<br/><br/>Keeping the conversation in a gentle and casual tone, she went on. "I would love to see England one day. But as I can't, I can make a tradition out of coming to this place for afternoon tea."<br/><br/>The offer made by the man was better than she had expected. It probably meant he had liked her, and that fit Alexia's interests perfectly well. With a smile, the girl leaned forward to look at the menu, squinting her eyes a little; "I don't have a very good eye sight", she explained apologetically. "I think, if it is not too much of a hassle, a nice cup of hot chocolate would do me good before I step back out there", she finally decided, leaning back and resuming her previous posture.
