Staff Room (After Genderbent Week)

[Vincent Valentine]

Vincent nodded. "I've been to Chinatown a few times myself. Interesting place, I have to admit, although I don't remember ever seeing any pet shops." He shrugged. "It has been quite some time since I last visited, though, so." Feeling suddenly warm, Vincent shrugged off his large red cloak and set it behind his chair, revealing his rather form-fitting black shirt. "Sorry, I was feeling a bit warm..." He apologized.

[Count D]

"Well, it's just a little shop, easy to miss. The only customers I get seem to have been sent to me by friends." He smiled. It didn't falter as the other man removed his cloak, but Count's cheeks did show a very light pink hue as he spotted Vincent's muscles. "That's quite alright. It is a bit warm in here." Quickly glancing away, he began to pour more tea for himself. "Would you like another cup, Vincent? May I call you Vincent?" His eyes slid back to the other man briefly.

[Vincent Valentine]

Vincent crossed his hands in front of him. "Another cup does sound good. And go ahead, call me Vincent. I don't mind."

[Count D]

Nodding, Count D poured another warm cup of tea for the man. "I find tea to be very relaxing. There's nothing better than curling up with a warm cup, a sweet pastry, and a loving pet on a cold Winter's night." His smile brightened a bit. "Sorry if I seem very sentimental."

[Vincent Valentine]

Vincent waved his hand as if to dispel the notion. "It's fine. I can completely understand. Personally, I envy that. Since I arrived, I've had no time to sit back and relax, and honestly, I've had a horrible headache for the past two weeks." He sipped on his tea, feeling more and more tension flow out. "Although, I have to admit the tea is helping with that."

[Count D]

The Count looked up at Vincent, concern in his eyes. "You haven't? Oh dear, that's no good." He scooted over, leaving an open space on the couch beside him. "Well, perhaps now would be a good time for you to relax? Would you like to have a seat?"

[Vincent Valentine]

Vincent nodded and sat down on the couch. "Thank you." He said to the Count, and, for the first time in quite some time, he genuinely smiled.

[Count D]

His faint blush returning, the Count's smile grew brighter. "And for your headache, I have same natural remedies in my office that should clear it up. Would you like me to get you some?"

[Vincent Valentine]

Vincent simply nodded, lying back in the incredibly-comfortable couch. "That would be great, thank you." He let out a rather long yawn, surprising himself. "Well. That came out of nowhere.

[Count D]

With a soft chuckle of delight, the Count left the room briefly. Shortly he returned, a small bowl of what looked like normal soup in his hands. "Here, drink this, and your headache should clear up quite soon." He knelt before the other man, holding the rim of the bowl up to his lips.
