[ 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. ]

Comments

[abhero]

[Stretches in his seat a little, trying to see what it is.]

Sure. I like everything.

[nukeoleptic]

[ She dumps a handful of mini, multicolored marshmallows into the mug, before heaping it high with whipped cream and pushing it his way. ]

Try this.

[abhero]

[He looks at it appreciatively.] Fancy looking. Thanks.

[Hamel practically inhales the whipped cream, eating it with his fingers because manners are for losers. It's gone in mere seconds.]

'S good! Cheers.

[He drinks the chocolate fast, too – until he chokes on a mini-marshmallow. He slams the mug down and coughs violently.]

[nukeoleptic]

[ Jade stares at him, wide-eyed, her expression one of open concern. ]

Umm-- are you alright??

[abhero]

[The coughs die out and Hamel makes a face. He's fine, but now there's chocolate splattered on the counter in front of him.]

Blergh… What's with the spongy stuff? It nearly killed me!

[nukeoleptic]

[ She just shrugs, going to retrieve a napkin and wiping it up with a little wrinkle of the nose. ]

Maaarshmallows. They're sweet. You're supposed to chew them.

[abhero]

[Airily] So don't put 'em in a drink.

[He shrugs and picks the mug back up, this time sipping the drink instead of chugging it and chewing the marshmallow.]

D'you always give out freebies?

[nukeoleptic]

They're supposed to go in the drink. See -- isn't it nice when you chew them?

[ That part gives her pause, though. ]

Umm, no, not always.

[abhero]

[He's really going to town with the drink now. It's new and he doesn't get to eat a lot of sweets.]

So what's the occasion today?

[nukeoleptic]

[ She puffs her cheeks out briefly, not really sure how much she should say. ]

I just felt like seeing lots of people today.

[abhero]

Well that's one way to do it I guess. Mind if I play outside? Since you've got lots of people coming and they have hot chocolcate money to spare.

[nukeoleptic]

I don't mind at all, actually, I like music a lot. Go ahead.

[abhero]

Great. [Not that a "no" would stop him from doing it anyway but it's much easier when he doesn't have to fight with the owner.]

This way even more people are gonna come in 'cause I'm really awesome.

[nukeoleptic]

I might bring my guitar out there and play with you, then. [ She's teasing! She wouldn't. Not with this many people to tend to, at least. ]

[abhero]

I'm not sharing the money people throw.

[Is he going along with her teasing? Or is he dead serious? His tone and expression make it rather hard to tell.]

[nukeoleptic]

It's okay! Ehehe. I'd just play for fun. But maybe I'll stay in here and keep an eye on the hot chocolate!

[abhero]

I'm hard to keep up with anyway.

[nukeoleptic]

Pshhh. I could do it.

[abhero]

That good are you? Or maybe it's over confidence.

[Look who's talking.]

[nukeoleptic]

I am the best at guitar! It is me. I am sorry to inform you!

[abhero]

Well I'm not sorry. I'm the best at violin so you can keep the best guitarist title. Maybe you'll get to prove it some other time.

[nukeoleptic]

Rose might be better at violin! She's really good too.

[abhero]

She may be good but I'm still better.

[Spoken with utmost conviction. Hamel doesn't know who Rose is but he is certain he's superior on account of being himself. He's awesome! And his violin is huge. Double-bass sized even. So he's clearly the coolest.]
