[ 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. ]

I can think of many things that could be, but a heart... [He shakes his head.] All the same, I thank you for the lesson.

[ Nope. She's squinting at it. ]

... what else could it be?

[Zevran cocks his head to the side, one eyebrow raised. He holds the pad of paper out in front of him.] You are the imaginative sort, yes? [He turns the 'heart' on its side.]

Perhaps it is a fish. [Voice is a bit flat, there, Zev.]

[ She's squinting at it, leaning forward to tap her finger against it. ]

That's not what you meant. Umm. It sort of looks like a butt, I guess?

Jade! How crude. [He pretends to gasp, and limply puts his hand over his mouth.] I am scandalized. I had taken this for a respectable establishment, you know.

[ The look she fixes him with is entirely unimpressed. ]

Oh my god. You were prying into my sex life in this very restaurant days ago.

[Zevran smiles back, entirely undaunted.] That is very different, I am a recognized expert in the field. Are you saying you are an expert on, ah, 'rears', shall we say? Well, I see.

My first boyfriend didn't even have a butt, Zevran.

So kind of you to look out for plague victims, Jade. The parts that can fall off when the rot sets in... very gruesome.

[ She laughs before she can help it. ] His butt didn't fall off, you jerk!

[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.] Well, I never said I was charitable. I shiver to think just how charitable you were being, in light of this new information.

He was a sprite. It's really complicated, okay? The whole ... area from waist down was sort of just... ghost-like. [ She pauses for maybe a second. ] Refrain from comment!!

[No, Zevran, people do make :D faces in life, because you're making one right now.] You understand, as a professional in this field, this is information I require, yes? In as much detail as you think necessary.

I'll draw you a picture. Someday.

Think of it as payment for all the advice I will give you, someday. [Still grinning from ear to pointy ear.]

[ She rolls her eyes, but it's a wide, exaggerated gesture. ] And what sort of advice am I gonna need from you?

A good point! It is surely this boyfriend of yours who will need the advice. [Zevran, meanwhile, prefers to play the fool when he can. Right now, he's going for totally earnest.]

Nuh uh. Nope. Draco will kill me if he knows I even alluded to that, thank you very much.

[Zevran's smile flattens, somewhat, but it's not with any real emotion. Or, well. It's with emotion, but not the earnest sort.] How disappointing. Those types always need advice the most, you know.

[ She pulls a marker from her pocket, before reaching forward and nabbing the notepad from him, scrawling onto it.

When she hands it back to him, it has this drawn on it. ]

[Zevran takes the drawing and narrows his eyes at it, turning it this way and that.] I... see. [He doesn't see.]

[ Jade snorts before she can help herself. ]

Oh, come on, Zevran, look really hard. Do you see?

[Zevran gives her a look, that, translated into English, clearly states, 'look, now, ony I'm allowed to be an ass, here'.] Oh-ho! This is the ex, I see? Well, that could make things... interesting. [He turns the picture on its side and grins, never one to disappoint.]

He's here in the city, now. [ She rolls her eyes, folding her arms, but she's still smiling, too. ] But he's got legs and stuff now. I'll introduce you two at some point.

Ohh, legs! Moving up in the world, I see. [He gives Jade her little drawing back, lest he steal it and be accused of doing something lewd.] I will try not to be too embarrassing during this meeting, yes?
