Alice was reading during her break and looked up when she felt his unique presence drawing closer, marking the page on the book and setting it aside. The fact that he’d gotten her anything at all was already such a pleasant surprise, he didn’t have to go through so much trouble to get special ones. Smiling, she rose from the bench to properly accept the gift, offering him a bow. “Thank you, Hijikata-san.”
Inviting him to join her with a motion of her hand, she sat back down and carefully undid the intricate ribbons holding the boxes before inspecting each of them. As it was in her nature, she gravitated towards the pink one first, she took a piece of the pretty chocolate and tasted it, eyes dropping closed with a pleased hum.
“Mmm, it’s delicious!" Sweet but not too much, just how she liked it. She imagined the matcha would follow along the same lines. But she was also very interested in the other two that she wasn’t familiar with. “Would you like to taste them with me?”
