The twins exchanged a look and grinned.
"One or two," they said vaguely. |
"Fun," Liz said. Absently, she pulled out a small sketchbook and opened to a fresh page, flipping past pages of clothing designs. Then she rummaged around for a pencil.
|
The twins looked at the clock and sighed as Kyoya sent them a meaningful look.
"We've got another appointment," Hikaru said. "But we can always see you more later," Kaoru said. |
Liz waved a hand.
"Go dazzle the other girls," she said, smiling a little. "I'm fine here, I have a few designs to work on to keep me busy." |
The twins grinned and went to go entertain other girls, going back to their normal dazzling routine. It was still kind of fun to get the attention, after all.
|
Liz watched them for a few moments, smiling a bit, and then turned her attention back to her tea and her sketchbook for a little while.
When the twins didn't come back after a few appointments, Liz just quietly put her things away and slipped out of the club room. Time to see about putting some of her designs together and pitching them to her mother. |
A few days later, on the weekend, Lucy was waiting for Honey and Mori to show up. She'd dressed in a flowy dress that went well with the weather, a little cool but very pleasant. Now she just had to wait for her two new friends to show up so she could tempt them with baked goods.
|
It didn't take long for a black car to pull up outside. The driver got out and opened the passenger doors, and Honey bounced out of the back seat cheerfully. Mori followed at a more sedate pace.
|
"Good afternoon, gentlemen," Lucy said cheerfully. "I'm glad to see you could make it today."
|
Honey smiled brightly.
"We wouldn't miss it!" he said. "This is a really nice place!" |
"Thanks," Lucy said with a little grin, leading them inside and over to a table. "Would you like the grand tour or tea first, then tour?"
|
Honey thought for a minute.
"You pick!" he said finally. "It's your place, so you should pick." |
Lucy grinned briefly. "Sit, then," she invited them. "I'll be back in a moment." She went to the back to get the first teapot and biscuits. After that the waitstaff would do the rest, but Lucy didn't mind doing some of the work.
|
Honey beamed as he sat down, and Mori took the seat next to him. Both of them watched as Lucy bustled around for a few moments.
|
Lucy came back with the tea, biscuits, and cups, setting everything out for them before she settled down. "Here we are," she said with a little grin. "One of my favorite teas and my aunt's famous biscuits."
|
"It all smells great," Honey said, taking one of the biscuits. Mori nodded his agreement as he picked up his teacup.
|
Lucy beamed and settled in to give them a few minutes to enjoy.
"I don't think I know what you're aiming to do after you graduate," she said, looking at both of them. |
"You know, I'm not really sure," Honey said, touching his chin briefly. He smiled. "My brother is the one who wants to take over the family dojo, so I'm going to let him. I really don't care much about taking over."
"I'll follow Mitsukuni," Mori added. |
"Family dojo, huh?" Lucy smiled. "Well, I'm sure you'll find something to do that you love. Hopefully both of you will." She smiled a bit. She'd noticed that these two seemed very attached, although she'd underestimated just how attached.
|
"Yup!" Honey said brightly. "My family's dojo is highly ranked, but my brother is the one who is more serious about taking over. I'll find something else to do with myself."
|
"Well then, you'll have to let me know when you've had some ideas," Lucy said with a grin. "I'm very interested to see what you two end up doing."
|
Honey grinned.
"We will!" he promised. "But only if you promise to tell me what you plan to do, too." |
"I will," Lucy agreed with a grin. "Once I have actual plans of my own rather than my family's squabbling."
|
Honey grinned and took a sip of his tea.
"This is really good," he said. "I like it a lot." |
"Good! I'm glad." Lucy grinned. "I like pairing teas and baked goods, it's kind of fun." She'd noticed that Honey was eating all Mori's biscuits and Mori was drinking more tea than Honey, which amused her greatly.
