Sorry I Thought Your Sister Was Your Girlfriend [Klaus & Minori]

[mininori-archives]

There wasn’t much they knew about each other right? Other than occupation and maybe a little fact (such as, Klaus indeed did have a sister who wasn’t his girlfriend…), there wasn’t much she knew about him. Now, she was getting more interested in whatever facts he had hidden that she didn’t know.

  My, she was rather persistent, wasn’t she? Didn’t seem like he could convince her otherwise. Klaus chuckled at her frown, enjoying her childish reaction. “Well, you’re making it sound like my company will not be enjoyable. I do hope that is not the future case, Minori.” Hopefully the worry in his voice didn’t come through, because he honestly was a bit fretful. He didn’t want to start off on the wrong foot with her, and end up having an awkward relationship... That would just be... very unfortunate...

  He nodded, she seemed like someone who enjoyed sweets, agreeing with her decision. “Mm, a good choice. Raeger’s cakes always seem to be delicious, hopefully it matches well with your coffee then.” Surprised that she turned back the conversation towards him, but he still smoothly replied back, “Ah. Seems like you took the words right out of my mouth. Yes. I’m not too picky since I trust his culinary works. I’m sure our lunch today will end up delicious.”

 Golden hues watched back, staring at the girl who seemed to pause at his question. Did he..? Ask a much too personal question? To try and ease the tension (that perhaps only he was feeling), he took the water pitcher and filled his glass, he should ask her if she wanted some-- but she, as the thought came so did her response. “Ah, well. It’s up to you...” He trailed, and let the brunette continue her answer. He blinked, pursing his lips as he digested the information. That was... put into a nutshell, wasn’t it? “I see.. Well, I’m glad that you’re enjoying you’re time here at Oak Tree, Minori. Water?”

  They quickly got their orders in before Klaus could reply back to her question. But, as the ordering finished, Klaus took a quick sip of water before he replied, “Mm. It’s... A bit of a quirky story, if I do say so myself.” Where was he even to start? There was so much he could say... “I wanted to find myself more, as... lame as that sounds,” Gosh Klaus. “So I distanced myself from the rest of my family. I still have ties with them, but I do enjoy my time here in Oak Tree. As for the perfumery...” He trailed off again, his eyes drifting over to the flower vase at the side, adorning the table. “I was fascinated with the idea of being able to create things. It just so happen that I fancied perfumes of all. I tried other things, but fumes were my calling, apparently.” Klaus let out a small laugh, a bit flustered-- had he spoken too much? 

  “I feel like I’m boring you, I apologize for my rambling, Minori.”

Without Reservation [Klaus/Mistel]

[Gratified that Klaus has agreed to field his questions, he continues happily - folding his hands in front of him in a Getting Down To Business sort of way.]

Well– I’ve two questions, actually. One, I’d like your opinion on purchasing an official perfume for the shop. It’s no surprise that the space tends to be home to one of two scents– those being either must and dust, or lemon brand furniture polish. [Grins.] I was hoping you might be able to recommend something that might facilitate sales in a more pleasant way– not to mention something would give me a few less headaches. Something that recalls antiquity without– you know. Socking you in the nose.

[Chuckles, then continues.] The second question is a bit more– personal. ♪ I can save that one for later, if you’d prefer?

[klausses]

[ / He eyes the younger one, ever so formal and straight to the point, wasn’t he? Anyways.. ]

[ / He blinked, slowly nodding at the request. Well, that made complete sense. ] I see. Did you want me to help you suggest a perfume, or create one by scratch? [ / Which made all the more sense. He respected Mistel for running his own business at such a young age, and for how much work he put in it as well. It was nice to see him trying to move his business forward, little by little. ]

[ / Oh well, he shouldn’t have asked then. Klaus paused, humming softly to himself as he tried to think of something that would suit his fancy ] Alright.. I’ll definitely have to visit your store sometime soon then, to really give you my best response. I would not want to answer you half heartedly at the moment, so give me a few days? I’ll provide you with a sample as well, if you’d like.

[ / Wait what. ] ...? If you’d like... I would not mind you asking me now, but... [ / He was a bit skeptical, what could Mistel want to ask him that was personal? That needed to be asked later? Only the Goddess knew... ]

Tea Time (Klaus/Iris)

[iristocraticauthor]

Perhaps it was just her, but he seemed like a mess. His hair was a bit more messier than usual, something that she had expected from Mistel when he got too into dusting the antiques. Of course, everyone was different, she suppose. Iris waved her hand at him. “Don’t worry too much, Klaus. I’m sure you were very busy.”

She walked further in and placed the dessert on the table. “That would be lovely. Thank you, Klaus.”

Iris itched to walk over to his work space to see what he was working on. The smell that drifted over to their current position in the house smelled divine. However, she needed to be patient. If anything, she could ask Klaus what he was doing. “Are you working hard, today?”

[klausses]

  He could feel Iris analyzing him, perhaps noting his dishelved appearance. Of course, she was someone who could notice all small details, and there was nothing really to hide. He heaved a heavy sigh, frowning as she dismissed his excuse. This was the very reason why they agreed to having these sessions, was to break from their stressful occupations. It’s okay, Klaus. This was a start.

  Filling the kettle with water, he placed it on top of the stove and let it heat. Klaus then reached over into his cupboards to reach for some mugs and plates, setting them accordingly on the dining table. He allowed himself to open up the box of dessert, also laying them out. 

  As Iris spoke, he didn’t look up from his table setting, “Unfortunately... I have found himself in quite a bind... A present for my niece.. Is the scent a bit too strong? What do you think of it?” Despite prompting her to help him, he had pulled out a chair and gestured for her to sit. “But.. I believe we should relax ourselves for a moment.”

[klausses]

MEN!!! My honey, will you let me smell your sweet parfum?!

…..?

Raven watched as Klaus put the gauntlets on, carefully observing as he opened and closed his fists.  “Like this…” The woman then reached forward, grabbing onto one of his hands and fixing the glove, ensuring that the strap was on tight enough.  

“Thank you.”  After taking the money that Klaus offered, Raven moved back towards her desk, opening the locked box of money and dropping it inside.  She then nodded her head, moving to grab her old, worn out pair of gauntlets and slipping them on.  Holding up her fists, she waited for Klaus to mirror her.  “All you have to do is fist fight as you normally would… and the gloves take care of the magic for you.”

“Go ahead and try.”

[klausses]

  As she stretched out her hand to help him, Klaus offered it, letting her adjust it as she pleased, since she was the one that sold the items after all. After she fixed them, Klaus withdrew his hand and clenched his fists, having a feel for the basic gauntlets. They weren’t anything out of this world, but they were most definitely practical. They were going to be of use if he was to continue his travelling in these parts of the world. 

  Klaus imitated her, form and stance naturally coming into place. He was vagely reminded of his delinquent days-- where he was thrown into street fights. It felt.. strange, but the purpose of fighting this time through was much different. 

  “..They take care of it themselves? I think I’ll need a more elaborate explanation on that...” Was he to throw a punch? But should he really be doing this indoors? He hesitated, unsure of really what to do... And waited for Raven to reply instead.

Home Before Sunset - Klaus/Quinn

[bigsisterquinn-blog]

Quinn watched as Klaus kneeled down in front of her, tilting her head as he spoke to her.  She debated whether or not she should say yes, knowing full well that accepting a piggy back ride from a stranger was not a very good idea.  However, her tiredness was getting the best of her, and it was not hard to see that Klaus was a good person, so she soon nodded her head in response.

“Um… yes please!  I’m real tired and… and yeah, I want to keep a look out for Father Gerard!” She responded as she rose her hands up.  “Thank you, Mister…”

[klausses]

  He was definitely going to have to apologize to her guardian afterwards. Especially if they found him while Klaus carried her like this. But, there was proper reasoning, and Klaus was honestly just offering his help. Offering the smaller child a gentle smile, he rose from his kneeled position, and reached down to pick her up.

  “Up we go,” and hoisted her up. Klaus was used to carrying children, especially after having his nieces and nephews to babysit... “Let’s keep going then, okay? They shouldn’t have gone far...” 

[klausses]

[He's been following Klaus at a short distance for a few minutes now, both on their way into town - and after deciding that this is kind of an awkward arrangement, he decides to call out to the older man instead of just being a complete weirdo.] Hey-- um, it's Klaus, right? [Grins awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.] You on your way into town?

…What was Klaus to make of this? He could feel the presence of another trailing him for quite some time, but… he didn’t know it was the neighbouring farmer… Upon being called out, Klaus turned around, blinking, unsure of what to think. Instead, he decided to be polite (unsurprisingly). 

   “Ah… Yes… Johnny… Are you… Have you lost your way, perhaps? Or did you need… something specifically from me?” 

[klausses]

    After getting the notice that he was to be performing first, Klaus made sure that he arrived an hour earlier to prepare himself-- mentally and physically. How long had it been since he actually performed in front of a large crowd? He did play for his family often growing up... But he had lost the hobby during high school when he had reached his supposed delinquent age. 

    But, it wasn’t til the recent years did he pick up the instrument again-- glad that the skill hadn’t died away. He made sure to practice and recollect the skill he once had, and to this day, he can proudly admit that he was rather blessed with the talent. 

    Picking up his cello and swinging the case straps over his back, a bag full of sheet music in his other hand, he tried to eye an area where he could warm up and tune accordingly. Hopefully he was prepared for this performance...

Home Before Sunset - Klaus/Quinn

[bigsisterquinn-blog]

With the thought of food now distracting her from the problem of finding her family, Quinn’s sprits were raised significantly.  “Yes!  Maybe he’ll be back at the hotel after dinner… ?  So now I want to go eat!” The girl said enthusiastically before running in the direction of the door.

She followed after Klaus, nodding along to what he was saying.  “I know, I know!  I’ll won’t forget to look for him.  She looked around as they walked, knowing that they could be around any corner.  

“Is the restaurant close to here or do we have to walk lots?  My feet are tired…”  Having walked for the majority of the day, Quinn was clearly beginning to get tired, lacking much of the energy that she normally had.

[klausses]

   Seeing that the smaller child had her energy restored almost immediately with the good idea that was proposed, Klaus couldn’t help but mirror her energy (but in his own way, there was no way he could be in par with a child) and smiled, following after her with his longer strides.

  Ah.. How could he be so careless? Despite a child usually having much more energy, that didn’t mean their stamina was as strong. Klaus kneeled down to look Quinn in the eyes and suggested, “It’s on the other side of town, quite a stretch. If you wanted, I could give you a piggy back? Would that be easier? You could also get a high view of everything, so maybe you could see Father Gerard quicker?”

Broken Bottles - Klaus/Aden

[adengerous]

It was easy to tell just how angry the man was, noticing his sighs and deep breaths that he took to calm himself.  As the bottle was taken from his hands, Aden looked down at the ground, unable to even look the other person in the eyes.

Expecting to get an earful, Aden braced himself as he waited for the man to speak.  However he was surprised to be told to wash off instead, hardly even realising just how bad he was beginning to smell.  

“O-Oh, yeah… I can do that.  My house is just around the corner,” he replied, biting his lip as he watched the man bend down to start picking up the glass.  “I should probably help you with this first though… maybe Odette in the inn has a broom we can borrow?”

Looking up from the shards of glass, Aden noticed that the stranger was now looking at him.  “What… ?” He paused as the other finished talking.  “Oh… sure!  Yeah, I mean, I don’t know how to do that, but if you think I can help, then… I can help!”

[klausses]

   How the young teenager should feel glad that Klaus was significantly nicer than the lot! He wasn’t in the mood to cause unnecessary scuffle, but at the same time it would be pointless. Despite, the teen seemed honestly sorry for the entire accident, and Klaus respected that. Klaus reached into his bag to pull out some thicker gloves that wouldn’t be ripped with glass and handed one to the other. “Watch yourself and be careful first...” And put the other glove on and started to clean up of the broken glass, frowning as he did. What a waste...

   With the way the other formulated their words and sentences, Klaus was starting to have his doubts... Maybe this wasn’t a good idea. But he had no other choice. He needed to have these perfumes and there was no way that he could do it all by himself. “Do not fret. The tasks are not difficult. Perhaps mundane; they include the scavenging of resources and mixing. I’m sure you could do that.” Klaus said, finishing off by putting the broken glass in a spare container he had, holding it out to the teen, gesturing for him to do the same.

   Which brought up another important question. “I am Klaus, a perfurmer from the quaint town of Oak Tree. And I must as you for your own name... This is quite the situation we found ourselves in...”

[klausses]

[raven-reborn]

Raven gestured for Klaus to take the gauntlets from her hands, as he was free to try them on.  “They’re more like gloves than anything… just put them on as you would any other pair.” 

She shrugged, moving towards her desk and scanning down a notebook that was on top of it.  “Leather gauntlets are… 2900 G.  And no, I will not charge you for lessons.  Teaching will only take a few minutes.” A pause, before she shook her head quickly in an attempt to dismiss his words.  “Do not worry, Klaus.  You’ll be fine.  As I said, there’s really not much to learn.”

[klausses]

   There was nothing he needed to add, and simply nodded and followed what she said, slipping the pair on. They fit snugly around his hands, he observed, as he flexed his hands-- closing a fist and then releasing it. 

   Once again, he nodded at her words and looked to meet her in the eye. “That cost will be fine. Might we be able to the lessons now-- if you have the time to spare? I believe the sooner the better...” As he spoke, he reached into his bag-- a gauntlet had been taken off to do so-- as he pitched out the exact amount of money, handing it over towards her.

Tea Time (Klaus/Iris)

With that final sentence, she slammed her pen down. Even if she wanted to write one more, she knew it was time to stop. Her hand was already cramping along with her wrist, and it was time for her break with Klaus. It was only natural that she would pay him the first visit.

For the occasion, she bought a cake from Raeger to bring with her. After all, what went better with tea than cake? Holding the box, she walked through the flat and out the store, turning the corner to reach Klaus’ home. She knocked a few times, resisting the urge to let herself in.

But wait, what if he was busy with work and he needed a more harsher way of snapping him out of it? Then she would have to do the right thing. After checking to make sure it wasn’t locked, she peeked inside and slipped in. “Klaus? Are you ready for a break?”

[klausses]

    It was his niece’s birthday in a few days, and Klaus still couldn’t find the perfect mix of fumes to make for his precious niece. His sister had asked him to make something light and flowery-- just so the girl could freshen up. With the idea of a mist in mind-- his small workshop and house had suddenly become washed over with the smells of various citrus and flowery fumes.

    Whenever he worked, he always immersed himself entirely. Usually would be seen as a good thing considering how much work could be done-- he often neglected his surroundings. And that included not even hearing that Iris had opened his door and welcomed herself in. Her voice had startled him out of his working trance, causing the man to check his watch. Oh man. Was it already this late?

    “Ah... Iris... I’m sorry for not meeting you at the door. Did you knock? Ah.. I must have not heard it...” Klaus quickly took off his working goggles and set the other utensils at a side. He sauntered over towards the exhaust fan to rid of the heavy smell of fumes and met Iris at the front of his lobby, looking at what she had brought. “I am indeed ready for a break... I had been so concentrated I lost track of time. I’m glad you came.” He peeked towards the box, humming softly. “Shall I get the kettle running?”

[klausses]

Have you ever thought of adding strange items to your perfumes? Like honey?

I would be lying if I denied this. There are times I feel like my ideas have run dry to the point I think about adding items much more bizarre than honey in perfumes. But before I can even bring myself to do so, I suddenly remember the chemical processes and realize that some items will not be able to mix well. 

That and it could also be a result of experimentation. Which is always fun. [ / laughs ! ]

[klausses]

Have you ever named a perfume after someone? Why?

…. [ / is unsure, not quite knowing what to answer because he doesn’t quite know… ] I don’t… believe I have… 

I must admit, I’ve been quite literal with what my perfumes are named. Perhaps I’ve unintentionally done so, by not giving the perfume a specific name and just named it after the person I was to give it to…? I haven’t thought much of it… 

[klausses]

If you were given a perfume, would you be able to tell what was used in it?

Of course, by simply turning it around and reading what it’s composed of! 

[ / pauses, realizing that was actually not really funny. You tried though, Klaus. He laughs, waving his hand as if to dismiss what he said ]

Perhaps. I’ve been studying perfumery for the last few years to the point that I’d like to believe and boast in my skills. Maybe I’ll test this out…
