Love Huh - Action And Anon Post

Action 1: For Ellen

Suguha lay motionless, a cord length stuck in a outlet in the wall. She seemed quiet, with a device wrapped around her eyes. If Ellen found her in their shared room for the time being, she would be too quiet, like something had happened. In truth, Suguha was experiencing the VR that the city provided.

But all too soon, she sighed and opened her eyes. "It's not immersive enough."


Action 2: For Outside

Suguha had gone for a walk.

It seemed that even in the cold, Suguha didn't really find it all that bothersome, as she wandered from place to place, shop to shop.

She steered clear of Fayren, having no way to deal with anything, but she was looking for a sporting good shop. A shinai would be nice to swing around.

Otherwise, she went to the coffee shop where she met Takeru previously. But her mind was far away.

"Love huh..."

Anon Post

Just a single post. Neo's post got her thinking.

Suguha knew she had issues. And yet... she had to ask.

How do you deal with forbidden love?

"Well, if how to make it is the problem... You've in luck. I just so happen to be a library. I probably know some chocolate recipes." At that, Eliot seemed to light up. Finally! Something he was good for! He opened the face of the pocket watch on the table, then fishes around in his coat pocket for a piece of paper and a pen. Oddly, he did carry those on him.

"What kind of chocolate do you like? Do you want an easy recipe? Or something challenging, to distract you?"

"Something in the middle," said Suguha. "Easy enough that people who have never cooked before can pick it up."

Considering she had to help Ellen with the cooking said it best.

"Understood. Let's see, let's see..." He glanced around the coffee shop, momentarily bringing a frown to his face. It was fairly crowded and he knew better than to walk outside for this. There was a chance he might forget what he was doing and leave her. Likewise, there was a good chance he was about to forget Suguha entirely. It didn't seem like a problem to him: She had already confirmed she had friends.

"Might as well do it here, in case this it the end." Eliot turned the dial on his pocket watch, forcing its music box to play backwards. The melody was faint, but his sharp vampiric senses caught it even in the busy coffee shop. "It was nice meeting you, miss."

On that parting note, he released the dial and picked up his pen. Quietly, without looking at her, Eliot wrote out a chocolate recipe. When he passed the paper over, it was as if he had copied text right out of a cookbook. It a low grumble, he explained, "There. That should be easy enough."

Then rudely stood up as soon as she had taken it.

"Thanks. I guess see you later then," said Suguha as he got up.

She looked over the recipe. Yeah, this seems easy enough.

"Yeah... Sure." Eliot groaned, annoyed and tired. Already, his head was killing him. He was pretty eager to leave, even if it meant going into the snow. So he turned to leave, not even bothering with her name. Just a wave over his shoulder. "Have fun at the festival."
