Sleepytime Tea || Clorica and Hiro

[aneverydayhiro-blog]

“Yes, of course,” Hiro insisted once more. Even if it wasn’t for something important, she had come all this way.

“I’m sure she’d be happy to,” Hiro began, glancing back at the counter, where Yun was busy attending to the somewhat large line. “Er, well maybe not right now, she looks rather occupied..” 

Hiro placed his hand against his jaw for a moment, thinking; he didn’t like the idea of the stranger waiting so long, or of Yun being overwhelmed with work. Maybe he could take over the register? Or- ah, that would work! “Although I’d be pleased to brew your tea for you- I’m sure Yun wouldn’t mind me using her kitchen.” He smiled warmly, hoping the stranger would accept his invitation.

[cloricutie]

Clorica nodded, glancing back towards the counter and settling on simply waiting until the line had died down.  Perhaps she had just com at a busy time.  “You’re right... I do not have to leave for a while, so I suppose I can wait.”

Though Clorica was willing to simply find a seat in the tea shop or even just wait in the line until it was her turn, she turned back to Hiro upon hearing his suggestion.  

“Are you sure that would not be an inconvenience?  I’m sure you have more important things to do than help a stranger with her tea!”

“Are you sure? I have a bed you can borrow and I’ll farm. you really should rest.” Hart seemed concerned as she waved him off. “Then we’ll start with the farm, in case you begin to doze off.”

Hart led her to the right, where he had a tier set of field crops that were watered by the natural hot springs. 

“This is probably my favorite part of the farm, as it is also the one I have to do the least amount of work for.” He teased.

[cloricutie]

“No, that won’t be necessary!  I will go back to the inn here once we are done and perhaps get some rest.  For now I would much rather try to stay awake,” she responded, smiling at the man.

Following Hart to his field, she looked around, immensely interested by the set-up that he had.  “I can imagine... I’m sure the prince and princess would love to have something like this, instead of making the monsters help them out!”

Sleepytime Tea || Clorica and Hiro

[aneverydayhiro-blog]

The woman seemed surprised by Hiro as much as he had been by her. It made sense, he supposed; the lively conversation in the store could dampen the sound of whoever had arrived later approaching.

“No, really, it’s alright,” Hiro insisted, “I live near here, I can just wait for Yun to restock, she does frequently.” He could always pick out another kind, maybe even an herbal kind without caffeine entirely. It would probably be for the best..

Her, on the other hand, may have came quite a ways to visit this little shop. This seemed all the more likely with her peculiar outfit. He couldn’t help wondering whether it was a regional style from another town, or a uniform, or both. “Besides,” he said, venturing a guess that it was a uniform, “you seem as if you need the tea for something important.”

[cloricutie]

“Ah... are you positive?” Clorica asked with a frown, turning to look at the box of tea that remained on the shelf.  

As the man mentioned that she might be doing something important, she quickly shrugged.  “It is nothing urgent.  I was simply about to make my journey home... it’s quite a ways away from here.”  Though she assumed the stranger could probably infer that she was not from this country, it was worth mentioning.

Clorica paused as she looked at all the other teas on the shelf, and then back towards the counter where the shop owner was standing.  “Do you happen to know if... Yun, you said?  If she will brew the tea I buy for me... ?  I was hoping to actually have a cup of it now and simply bring the rest home...”

“Well if  harvest them now they won’t be as fresh as if I harvest them tomorrow.” He explained to her. “I’ll wait for tomorrow so you can bring home the freshest things.”

Hart smiled as she said she’d stay the night in the inn anyways.

“So how about I show you around the farm? Then around town. IF you’ve got time, may as well aquatint you with the place. Unless you’re too tired.” Hart offered.

[cloricutie]

“Ah!  This is true... I had not thought of this,” Clorica responded with a smile and a nod.  “Tomorrow is just fine then. ♥ Perhaps earlier in the morning rather than later, however... I must leave town by noon.  If that is alright!”

Though Clorica had started to yawn again, she stifled it once the man mentioned the possibility of her being too tired.  “No, no!  Believe me, Sir... not a moment goes by when I am not on the verge of sleep.  I would love a tour of the farm... it’ll keep me awake, actually!

Sleepytime Tea || Clorica and Hiro

Yun’s shop was pleasant to visit as always, with the smell of tea and cooking, and a warm greeting from Yun herself. She had been so elated to see him back in the village. Seeing how much he had been missed, he tried to visit often.

Today wasn’t just a visit though; they were out of tea in the clinic. It was busier than usual today, but not crowded, and Hiro had little trouble making his way to the shelves where the containers of tea were displayed.

Puer, black.. he settled on an apple and sencha blend he had tried a long time ago and liked. It had enough caffeine without making him jittery, and you could mix it with cinnamon for a nice winter drink. He reached for it, but another hand appeared next to his, taking him by surprise. He looked over to see a woman with purple hair and elaborate clothing looking at the same blend. 

“Oh! I apologize, I must have been in your way,” Hiro said, moving his hand away from the tea.

[cloricutie]

As Clorica wandered the streets of a new town, she stopped outside of what appeared to be a tea shop.  Deciding to go inside and hopefully purchase some tea for the castle, she opened the door and walked in.

It was a small shop, and she was happy to be greeted be a small child who seemed to work, or at least live there.  Behind the counter was an older lady, and the young woman stopped to talk to her before she was pointed int he direction of the tea leaves she could purchase.  Though a warm drink would be nice, she feared falling asleep at the hands of something so soothing.

However, when she read the label of a certain tea, she saw that it supposedly had a small amount of caffeine.  While she was not one to resort to caffeinated drinks, she wondered if it would be helpful for her long journey home.  As she reached for it, she accidentally bumped hands with the person beside her.

“Oh!  My apologies!” She explained, jumping back and allowing the man to take the tea.  “No, no... do not worry.  I was simply looking!”

[cloricutie]

Do you send letters to any family out of Selphia that you have?

Yes!  I send letters to them… at least occasionally.  Though admittedly, lately I’ve been doing it more because I don’t want my baby sister to be unaware of who I am.  Before she was born, I rarely sent a letter their way.  I suppose I just did not have much to say.  They did not necessarily seemed pleased by my decision to become a butler, after all.

[cloricutie]

What do you love most about your family?

Ah, well I left that last question on a rather negative note, didn’t I?

I love that they look out for me, I really do!  It just become suffocating at some point, but I am still grateful.  Having them care is better than them not caring at all.

Plus, I adore how big of a family we are!

[cloricutie]

Do you get along with your family? Why or why not?

No… not particularly.  At least not with my parents at least.  They had a tendency to want to… well, control everything that I did… mostly due to the fact that I was always falling asleep and they thought I was too incapable to make my own decisions because of it.  That’s why I left home, I suppose.

Though I do get along rather well with my younger siblings!  I have twin brothers who are very fun to be around, and a baby sister who I adore and miss every day.  My older brother left home a long time ago however, so I do not have much of a relationship with him…

Before Hart harvest the veggies he looked at the girl, noticing she was tired. Perhaps she traveled for a long time? He wanted to make sure she was okay.

“I can get you a place at the Inn if you’re tired. You must have been traveling a lot. Stay the night in town, and I’ll get everything for you by tomorrow morning. How does that sound?” Hart asked, seeing her stretch and yawn.

[cloricutie]

Though the woman had been daydreaming for a few moments, she quickly snapped out of it once she heard the man speak to her again.  “O-Oh, no... I’m fine!  Please do not concern yourself with me, Sir.”  She offered a smile in reassurance.

“Though if it is too much of an inconvenience to get everything ready now, then I can come back in the morning.  In all honesty, I was planning on staying the night in town anyway!”

“Really? They seem like amazing pets. I’d like to have one one day.” He said remembering them. He listened to the pets she told him about them. “They sound like nice pets.”

“Ahh and alright. Sounds good. Let me get some broccoli and kale out. That’s a lot of what is growing right now.” He said getting out some clippers for the broccoli. “All of the broccoli is edible by the way. How about some leaves as well? They make good salads.”

[cloricutie]

“Yep, they certainly are!  Though I tend not to think of them so much as pets as simply as companions,” she explained with a smile.  “Raising a monster in a place like this may prove to be quite a challenge however...”

Clorica nodded and stretched her arms up above her as she yawned.  “What... Whatever vegetables you have are fine.  Leaves... too...” Her tiredness hit her quickly, but the woman fought to stay alert.

“Two really? Are they wollies? I met a wooly once. I got to pet it. It was super soft. Almost softer than my sheep.” Hart continued waving for the woman to follow him. He began leading her to the fields themselves.

“Okay, so do you care about the specific fruit you get? Or can I pick the ones that look the ripest?” Hart replied as they neared his fields. “Not sure if your Prince and Princess have any specific needs. And I’ll show you the honey later, right after this. Sound good?”

He decided to believe her Prince and Princess story, at least for the time being. He did know the land where there were monsters was quite different. So they may have had different politics.

[cloricutie]

“No, actually neither of them are woolies!” Clorica with a shake of her head.  “Though I do agree that they are very wonderful monsters, and they are known for being very good pets. ♥”  She continued to follow the man to his field, while speaking excitedly about her monsters.  “One is a tortoise... like the turtles you have here, but bigger!  And the other is a big muck... a giant mushroom, really~.”

Clorica then shook her head once more, turning to look at the crops that were growing on his farm.  “Whatever fruits that you have are fine!  They are, thankfully, not picky royalty.  My personal request would be apples, if you have any, but that’s only my own preference,” she laughed.

[hartsnewbeginning-deactivated20]

[hartsnewbeginning-deactivated20]

“They’re pretty tame and relaxed. I know there was a place that had monsters, and people are used to them there. These creatures are a lot more relaxing.” Hart replied as she followed him. He smiled.Maybe she was from there. But he wasn’t sure. After all, he only knew Tori from there, and didn’t hear of any Prince or Princess from her homeland.

“Ahh and okay sure. I can get a box ready for you. Eggs and vegetables. I do also have local grown honey if that interests you. I own the bee hives myself.” Hart explained. They were soon at the fields where the plants were.

“Oh, would the like flowers or just vegetables? Snow Drop Flowers are growing quite nicely now.” He responded.

[cloricutie]

“Well... that’s certainly good to hear!” Clorica responded enthusiastically, looking ahead at the animals that were now just a ways away.  “Our monsters can be really friendly too!  I actually have two of my own ♥.”

Once the man started to talk about her order, she reached into her pocket to pull out a list of things she had to do while in town.  The prince and princess did not say anything about honey, but then again they did not really give her many specifications on what to buy.  

“Honey would be very nice!  But... I may pass on the flowers.  I think they just wanted me to get food.  Thank you for the offer though. ♪”

“Prince and Princess?” Hart responded. Were they playing a game of some sort. She didn’t look that young… He walked up to her and examined her. “Well I can sell you some. I’ve got broccoli growing, and some kale. Wheat of course and soy beans. Any of those sound good enough?”

Hart also welcomed her to the farm with his gestured.

“And feel free to walk around. I can give you a tour and introduce you to the animals if you’d like.” He offered.

[cloricutie]

“Yep!  Princess Frey and Prince Lest of the Kingdom of Selphia ♥!”  The woman spoke cheerfully, as if what she was saying was common knowledge.  “Though I’d understand if you have never heard of them.  I am from quite a ways away from here.”

“Just an assortment of various vegetables would be wonderful!”  She paused, reached into her pocket and quickly read through a list.  “Oh!  And eggs... if you have any for sale.”  

She then followed the man towards his farm.  “A tour would be wonderful!  I’m afraid I would not know how to act around those creatures if you were not around.”

[cloricutie]

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

/Walks into the butlers' room, looking rather embarrassed and in need of assistance/ Uh, hello?

[Sits up straight from her desk with a start.  She had nearly fallen asleep but was woken right up upon hearing the voice call out to her]

Oh!  Sir Lest… yes, how can I help you~?

Hart took a look around the field one last time before planning on heading out, to make sure the parks were good. He smiled and began walking, only to see a girl waving at him. It was curious, as he never saw the person before. None the less he waved back.

“Hey there!” Hart called out as he began walking. “You get lost here? Or visiting the town?”

[cloricutie]

Clorica smiled brightly at the man as he approached, and then quickly shook her head at his question.  “I am not lost!  I have come here for two reasons actually...”

“One, I am simply curious to see this part of the world and the different creatures that live here.”  She pointed at the man’s animals that were not too far off.  “And two... I have a request from the price and princess to bring back some of the produce from the farms here, if you would not mind selling it to me.”  Clorica spoke with confidence, completely oblivious to the fact that the man may not know what she was talking about.
