Book Haven: Thursday [8-28-08]

Millie was humming rather cheerfully as she worked around the store this morning. Part of it might be a bit of whistling in the dark as she knew she would miss some of the leaving students quite a bit.

But there would be new ones coming in soon and she was trying to think of that instead.

She was also going to have to put up a help wanted sign soon as she was down to only two employees.

The fact that it wasn't odd to have a strange woman tasting him was ... interesting.

He laughed a little. "Geoffrey's a bit like waffles, oddly enough."

"Waffles," Millie said thoughtfully. "I'm not certain I've ever tasted them."

"I seem to taste a bit like a fruit I greatly loved with a child and which seems not to exist on either of the other worlds I have lived on. It's a bit sweet, with a tart edge to it. Sort of like a very ripe strawberry mixed with one of those tart green apples."

"They're ... interesting."

At her description, though, he tilted his head curiously. "Er, if I may?" The flavor combination sounded intriguing.

"Oh yes, certainly," she said quickly and offered him her wrist.

He didn't so much as hesitate to taste.

Afterward, though, he did look very thoughtful. "Hm. That would be an exceptional fruit, I must agree."

She shivered a little at the feel of his tongue on her skin, then smiled up at him.

"It is, isn't it. Now I shall be craving them for weeks."

"A most unfortunate thing," he agreed.

Eventually he'd probably start craving Saffron Cream. Maybe someone here would know how to make it.

"Ah well, such is life," Millie said smiling again. "We always wish for what we can't have."

[arjiki-diamonds.livejournal.com]

And he managed a slight smile.

"Or what we once had and don't have at the moment." But then again, he had Liir here. That was something, some piece of her even though she was back at home.

"I really should be going, however. I'm sure I'm due to be home for my dinner delivery."

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

"Oh yes, of course," Millie said with a smile. "Do say hello to Liir for me."

[arjiki-diamonds.livejournal.com]

"I shall."

And with that he smiled and gave her a nod of a goodbye. "I'll be in on Saturday."

"Be well," she said with a smile and a small wave.
