Out of the night that covers me.

Brownie points to those who don’t read below the cut!

{Relaxing into her chair, Celes brought a teacup of her own to cherry lips and sipped a small amount, eyes focused on Kirigiri— she was far more interested in her than the drink, after all}.

Did you know that fine china used to be distinguished by its durability? If one could pour milk after the tea had been poured without the cup breaking, it was to be said to be of high quality.

[ Kyouko took a sip of her tea and smiled, looking straight back into Celestia's most likely artificial red eyes. ]

The milk would cool down the ceramic so that the tea could be poured, in the case of low quality cups.

[ Kyouko placed her cup back into its saucer and placed the saucer on the nearby table, allowing the tea to digest before she had more. Besides, it was a bit hot. ]

       Why, thank you. I do strive to accessorize, although I can admit that it’s not nearly close to the house of my dreams. 

{She didn’t even spare a flinch at the hand that was grabbed, only looked down towards it and returned the awkward gesture of affection with a light squeeze}.

Why don’t we sit down. Would you like a drink, by any chance? Perhaps tea will do for now, but I also have coffee, spirits, or anything of the like…

{She affirmed a tighter hold of Kirigiri’s palm and beckoned her to the dining room, leading her slowly through a couple of doors and finally placing her down into a tall chair seated next to a grand table.}

Tea would be nice. 

[ Kyouko made herself comfortable and leaned back in the large chair and took a moment to gawk more at Celestia's sizeable home. Of course, she made sure to keep her mouth closed and not ask any rude questions. ]

1. I am sincerely sorry

2. 1 is a lie

3. it was my plan all along

Thank you. 

[ Kirigiri wandered into Celestia's very impressive penthouse and did a quick visual sweep of it. She began to wonder why someone working at a strip club would continue to work at said strip club if she had something like this. Perhaps the same reason Kyouko did. ]

You have a very nice home.
