[ It had worked once before, back in the heat of late summer in Asgard, so Jade was trying it again. She had dragged the sign out to the front of the store, right in the middle of the sidewalk, and written in huge letters:

free hot chocolate! :D
just come inside ♥

The temperature hadn't broken the sixty degree mark today - it was getting chilly fast. Both Orihime and Annabeth were gone, and the store was oddly quiet. Jade will be found keeping herself busy throughout the day with odd little chores when it's completely empty of customers - sweeping, dusting, and occasionally dozing in a booth near the door when the boredom becomes too much to bear. ]

Oh, that's alright. That's the point of an experiment, isn't it? You're not sure of the outcome, even if you know what you hope it will be. It sounds like it could be fun...!

[Even if the word 'experiment' makes her think of a certain part of her life.]

[cyan_maid]

[Noooo no no Namine this is a fun experiment. With chocolate. And giggling, most likely.]

Would you like to give it a go sometime?

[lethechained]

[She knows! She takes comfort in that fact, giggling especially.]

Why, Jane, I'd be delighted. [Hee.] If you're game then I am, too, even if I'm not sure I'd be much help.

[cyan_maid]

Help or not, we'd both be learning and that is quite alright. [Not to mention Namine has a lot to learn!]

[lethechained]

[She really does.]

I'm glad you feel that way. I'll try not to be a burden. Whatever we do I'm sure it'll at least be an adventure.

[cyan_maid]

You will most certainly not be a burden, and it will definitely be an adventure! Don't you worry about it.

[lethechained]

Okay, then. I promise I'll do my best not to worry. I suppose even if things go terribly wrong that'd just be part of the fun, too.

[cyan_maid]

Yes - that's exactly how you've got to think about it!

[lethechained]

Mmhm! It seems like a good idea. Hopefully we won't catch anything on fire - but if we do, at least we won't be in any danger of not having anyone who can patch us up. [Being healers, and all that.]

[cyan_maid]

Hoo hoo! Yes, we should be okay on that front! I'll keep a pail of water nearby, just in case.

[And you know, not balancing on top of any doors.]

[lethechained]

Good idea. ... Maybe we ought to do it close to a sink, too. Just in case one bucket isn't enough.

[Also maybe as far away from any trolls as possible because that'd just make things awkward.]

[cyan_maid]

[Sssh Jane doesn't know about the buckets yet.]

Well we'd be doing it in a kitchen, so of course they'll be a sink nearby. But that's a good idea too.

[lethechained]

[Oh, boy. That'll be a fun conversation.]

Of course. [Again, still important.] Maybe we ought to check to make sure it's working properly first, too. [Just in case--]

[cyan_maid]

Um, okay! Sure. Whatever makes you feel safer, I guess.

[lethechained]

[-- Fff.] It's not a big deal.

[Just thinking out loud, possibly in a somewhat consciously silly fashion.]

Anyway, I think it'll be fun. I'll be looking forward to it.

[cyan_maid]

[She'll still make sure it works for you, Namine. Nothing should turn you off to cooking and experimenting and desserts!]

So will I!

[lethechained]

[Now is a very delicate time! ... Not that she's easy to deter, exactly, but still.]

Speaking of sweets, I should... probably let you get back to your hot chocolate, shouldn't I? [Gosh, Naminé, talking her ear off.]

[cyan_maid]

[It takes two to do that, Jane's not innocent in this mass chocolate cooling.]

Only if you'd like to get back to yours. I don't mind chatting, it's fun.

[lethechained]

[That's alright, Naminé will happily shoulder the blame regardless--]

Hee...! I don't mind, either. Besides-- we can try to pay a little more attention to it between sentences.

[cyan_maid]

Hoo hoo! There's always that, yes.

[And to give it a shot, she takes a sip.]

[lethechained]

[She also takes a sip, which is less well timed, but,]

I think I like this plan.

[cyan_maid]

Mm! We've struck gold with it.

[lethechained]

Mm.

[Sip-- oh.]

Or brown.

[Because chocolate.]

[cyan_maid]

Brown gold, then?

[A sip.]

[lethechained]

Yes, I think that'll do just fine.

[Sip.]

I wonder if that's something that exists in one of the worlds.
