047 [Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[Another White Day in Luceti.  Though Adell has come to think that Valentine's Day works better as a universal holiday, there's one thing that can be said about White Day:  most likely, he'll be in his right mind and not messed with by experiments, leaving him free to do what he needs to do.  This White Day won't be quite as busy in terms of numbers as the last one, thankfully.  There's only two people really on his mind for this one.

So, throughout the early part of the day, morning and early afternoon, he's out doing some shopping, stopping in the general store and the flower shop, to get the various things he needs for his plan.   He can be seen in the village any time during that phase.  Clearly he's up to something.

After he's done running his errands there, he'll disappear for awhile, then return back home to House 44.   Housemates can catch him there.   He's looking for Luka at first, to give her a gift of homemade chocolate and a bouquet of freshly cut red and pink flowers, mostly as a gift to show his appreciation and care for her.  If she tries to hide from him, he'll leave them in her room on her nightstand.

But his final leg of his plan involves Charlotte, and he's off to find her a little while before sunset.]

[Adell flashes her a quick smile and begins removing the lids as he speaks.]

Well, tonight we have a steak tenderloin, cooked to a medium rare. Should still be tender and juicy. [And it looks seared, which is good, hopefully holding in the flavor.] And here we've got a German-style sausage. Never tried it before, hopefully I cooked it right. [And then he displays another type of sausage, which looks different. It's probably also something Charle's familiar with.] And then, rounding out the meats... [He pulls off the lid of the last one, revealing cut flanks... really, into a couple of small steaks.] Hellhound. I don't know how the store ended up with this... but I grabbed it the moment I saw it. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Then uh... I made this salad, and I steamed these green beans and carrots. [And he reaches over to the ice bucket and pulls out each of the two bottles slightly to reveal their labels.] And finally, to drink, there's a bottle of red-label RosenQueen champagne. But if you'd prefer something without alcohol, there's this grape juice.

Which would you like?

[When all's said and done, there is quite a bit of food here, but despite the variety, Adell was careful not to make an overwhelming amount. He figured between the two of them they could probably eat most of it.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[...Oh wow. A lot of meat, a lot of stuff. But one of those stood out, so she really wants to try]

I'll try the hellhound, please.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[And with that, he takes one of the serving forks and uses it to carefully place a steak on her plate.]

And to drink?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Hm... just the juice for now, I think.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[And with a little nod, Adell pulls the bottle from the bucket and unscrews the top, pouring some of it into her glass, following with putting some in his own.]

Anything else, Charle?

[When finished, he puts the top back on the bottle and returns it into the ice.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Well I'll have some salad to go with the meat, of course, but I can get that myself. [She says with a giggle as she reaches to... well, do that getting]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[He nods, and then begins helping himself to a few of the various things on the table.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Okay, good. She'll start with a little salad here. Mmm... salad]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[And he'll start in on one of the sausages he cooked up. It's not bad, actually. After he takes his first bite he looks up to Charlotte for a moment, then looks out to the sunset.

...Good food, good sights, and love. Was there much better than this?]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[...Hellhound tastes weird. She's got a thoughtful face on as she chews, trying to decide what this actually tastes like. It's about as distracting as how cute Adell's face looks right now]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Given Hellhounds are speedier creatures, it's probably a little gamey and poor cuts are probably stringy, but this one isn't a poor one. It's definitely not quite what you'd expect from a docile and domesticated cow or pig, but...

Adell blinks as he realizes Charle's staring at him, and he glances over to her, wordlessly wondering what she's thinking about.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Chew... chew...

Swallow]

Your face looks cute right now.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[How about with a little bit of extra color from a slight blush? He should be used to this by now, but... sometimes Charle's frankness still surprised him. A small grin.]

...I see.

[And he takes a bite... himself. But for now, he'll stay quiet, just looking at Charle.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[There's some more chewing here and she then takes a swig of the grape juice. Hm. Maybe she should have gone for the alcoholic option, but this is okay too. Oh right! Salad. Mostly seemingly zoning out Adell while she eats for right now]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell focuses a bit on his meal. It's actually pretty good. Sausages, Hellhound, green beans. And then he glances up to the sunset again.]

Charle... [He hesitates. He could say something sappy. But that's a bit too cheesy.] Make sure you save a little room for dessert too!

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's dessert too? Adell, you really did go all out!

[With a little giggle, even. That said, it doesn't stop her some stuffing a bit more. She just... doesn't go for a third helping of meat. Only two]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Hey, I didn't want to disappoint. What fancy, romantic meal doesn't come with something sweet to wrap up the whole thing, right?

[Though his dessert ideas are... much more simple than this. But it should still be good.]

Besides... I wanted to do something special for you.

[After all, she did something special for him. It wasn't that he felt indebted, but... he wanted to do this to show he could.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Adell you silly. But she nods at this. Chew... chew. A little glance at the sunset. She's glad for this and glad for Adell being considerate. It's nice.]

You really went to a lot of effort though.
