Love and Pain » Places

Jephthah nodded in comprehension. The leotard Nadia wore before switching gear did seem a bit childish, not that he ever made a comment on it. Upon hearing she may be able to work there, he said, "Well, that's good to hear." His response to her query on how his family was doing, he said, "Everything is decent. My brother is as mischievous as ever, as is my Boston terrier. That little guy just loves attention. We wrestle a lot, and when I pin that doggy down, I rub his belly. He looks so goofy upside down." Jephthah laughed at that.

Abdas smiled when Stella went into deep thought on who his crush could be. He almost let out a laugh at her energetic movements and speech. He was disappointed, however, when the bunny girl said it could not be her. When she said that she never actually was innocent, he wanted to comment that such a thing would be why he said that she was seemingly so. The moment she placed her hand in his and leaned closer to him was the moment he blushed wildly and held his breath, wide-eyed. Not only was Stella beautiful with that gentle smile, yet it also seemed Stella knew who he was talking about, all along. What seemed like an attempt to return the feelings abruptly ended as the girl turned around and suddenly got back into waitress mode. Her teasing made him feel slightly better, however, despite the disappointment.

As he went back to the kitchen, he made a mental note to be more straightforward, next time. Waiting for the order, he then proceeded to make everything mentioned in it, from the coffee to the desserts. BonBon made it to the kitchen and began smiling mischievously for a cat (well, for a love bug disguised as a cat, anyway).
