POG (Passionfruit, Orange, and Guava) [Dorothea & Lorenz]
Beach starter for @agneas
This resort they were staying at had such an array of juices and syrups in the kitchen that Lorenz could happily spend his days experimenting with drinks. As any gentleman would, Lorenz made two drinks when he craved something from the expansive drink counter with the intention of sharing with someone. It was such a hot, sunny day that he was sure a lady must be in need of hydration. It was then his sworn duty, after all, to provide some relief from the heat.
It was also a better icebreaker than, ‘I feel horribly sad inside for no reason. Nice weather, hm?’
He scanned the bustling coastline, drinks in hand. Condensation was already forming on the two iced orange but pinkish tinted glasses of fruit drink, each made with orange juice, passion fruit juice, and guava nectar and garnished with a slice of lemon and a cherry. Heaven in a cup, the next best thing compared to his favorite rose tea. As he sought a companion to share a drink with, he spotted a magenta towel on the sand with someone on it, bathing in the sun without anyone else around.
Perfect. It had been since the ball that they’d gotten to speak, after all.
“Dorothea?” Lorenz stood by her, drinks in hand, as he nodded to her and sat beside her on the warm sand, on the towel as best as he could be without being in her space. “In lieu of a professional bartender, I happened to make two drinks when I was in the bar, and it would be such a shame to waste one. It’s quite lovely, if I do say so myself, though not as lovely as you.” Lorenz winked and held one out to her. “Please enjoy. It’s the likes of which we’d never get to have back in Fodlan.”
