[ is just shy of running through the hallways, feet light as not to draw unnecessary attention from the doctor down in his study. checks a few places -- their shared room, the fireplace room, their place by the window -- before hesitatingly tiptoeing toward the front doors. opens them just enough to poke his head, a shoulder & arm outside (not enough to cause any alarms), eyes quickly scanning the premises before he finally spots her in the near-ish distance.

clears his voice & hisses out, as loud as he dares to let his voice go: ]

Anna!

[ nods once. ]

Of course.

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

... that smells good.

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ flushes a bit. ]

Oh. Thank you. [ pauses momentarily, and then: ] W-would you like to taste it?

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

Can I?

[ gets to his feet, taking a few quick steps to stand behind her. ]

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ stiffens slightly when she feels his presence behind her, not moving an inch. the only movement she does make is lifting the wooden cooking spoon slowly, attempting to hand it to albert at a rather awkward angle. ]

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

[ leans down to blow at it a few times before taking a sip, letting the taste roll on his tongue before he swallows & nods in approval. ]

I like it. It's really good, Anna.

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ turns even more red, if that were at all possible. is pretty glad that he can't see her face right now, though her voice wavers a bit when she speaks; ]

T-thank you very m-much.

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

Is it going to be done soon?

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ shakes her head. ]

I have to let it cook for a bit longer. Sorry.

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

... but it's good already.

1/2

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

... alright.

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ stands there awkwardly in silence. fidgets a bit. ]

Um. Could you... move back a bit? I can't move.

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

Oh. Uh, sorry.

[ backtracks quickly, feeling awkward. ]

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ nods slightly in thanks, wandering to another part of the kitchen to grab some bowls. ]

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

[ shifts his weight around a bit from foot to foot, watching her move before he turns to grab at the utensils to set them on the table. ]

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ goes about her own business and pours albert a nice sized portion, giving herself a smaller bowl of the soup. walks towards the table and pauses when she places his bowl down, a thought striking her. ]

Should I wake them or let them sleep?

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

Let's let them sleep. They seemed tired.

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ nods in silence and circles around the table to place her bowl down in her usual spot. ]

What would you like to drink?

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

[ grins a bit. ]

How about apple juice?

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ stares at him for a moment, then at his bowl of soup, then back at him again. slowly turns to go back towards the kitchen to get him his apple juice. ]

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

[ already digging into his food, as quickly as possible without burning his tongue. ]

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

[ comes back with a glass of apple juice for him and a cup of water for herself. places his next to his bowl before situating herself in her own seat. doesn't eat for the moment, though, too busy watching him at the corner of her eye. ]

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

[ enjoying his food a great deal, taking his time. looks up when hears the glass click against the table. looks up at her with a smile. ]

Thanks.

[becominglady.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[ takes a sip of her water, watching him for a moment longer before averting her eyes towards the fireplace room without really realizing it. ]

[becomingseme.livejournal.com]

[ takes a sip from his apple juice, following her line of vision. blinks a little. ]

What's wrong?
