Snippet #2468040

When the explosion was mentioned, Hisui gasped and immediately groaned while putting a hand to her face, remembering the incident with Amber and the Nepent with the fruit on its head. "...u-um...a-about that explosion..." Shuffling awkwardly and staring down at her feet, she sighed, and explained just what triggered the crazy rush of the Little Nepents. "S-so, you...won't want to, um, you know...strike that fruit. Um...s-sorry about what happened to you out there."

The man, who introduced herself as Merche, didn't really seem to have any intention of going anywhere soon, seeing as he was ordering more tea. Though Hisui felt rather strange sitting at a table with a man she had met only a few minutes ago, Merche seemed kind enough, and so she sat down...though she still moved to the far corner of the table, and did not take her hood off. "A-and, I-I did manage to complete the quest...b-by myself, about a-an hour ago. B-but, it...took me a long time, eheh...a-about 3 hours, in fact. S-so, don't b-be surprised if, you know, i-it takes a long time." She wasn't sure whether or not she should mention Amber, since as far as she knew, she hadn't accomplished anything then.

At that point, the waitress placed a teapot and two cups between the two players, and left without a word. Tentatively reaching for the teapot, Hisui hesitated a few times, looking at Merche to see if he wanted to use it first, before finally pulling her hand away, motioning for him to take the first cup. "Well, um...ask away, I-I guess," she mumbled. But Hisui wasn't used to this kind of thing at all, so she was incredibly nervous.
