Ruri watched Kitt take his experimental sip over the rim of her cup.
Heat seeped through her fingers as the steam curled, rose and filled her nose with pleasant earthy aromas. She loved green tea but she knew that she was the exception and not the rule when it came to her culinary preferences. The tea wasn't bitter but it also wasn't sweet. It was honestly comparable to eating your vegetables which was why Ruri wasn't surprised when Kitt reached forward and added a bit of sugar.
She shook her head from left to right, her smile wide and warm. "Don't worry about it. I believe in the school of thought that, if you try something once, you can say that you don't like it." The rule being that you had to first try something in order to claim not to like it. "I hope you enjoy it. I wouldn't want to force you to drink something that you don't like. If you'd prefer something sweeter, I also have a lot of herbal teas." It was important to her that he didn't force himself to do more or less than he was comfortable with.
Ruri took a sip of her tea and then another. Warmth began to curl and stretch through her torso, spreading out in pleasant waves through her limbs. She felt herself relax and her muscles loosen as she listened to Kitt. His voice was smooth and rich. It captured her attention and held it without Ruri realizing how attentively she listened to him. She could listen to him talk for hours.
"That sounds amazing." She rested her cup in her lap while her usual smile returned to the lovely curve of her lips. "I hope that everything goes well for him while I have you here. I'd hate to make things difficult but I'd also love to hear more about it. My life isn't that exciting." It was a half lie since Ruri wasn't technically alive in the same sense that others were but she had just met Kitt and she didn't think that it was a good idea to jump in with the whole 'I am dead' thing, right away.
"I'm a writer, when I'm not making minimum wage at a grocery store." Her smile became a little bashful. "I'd love to write about something like a private investigator but I have no idea what it's like. I admit, I am a fan of Sherlock Holmes. Reading those as a kid made me want to be a writer." Her head canted thoughtfully to the side. "Among other things"
