[Poor Jean, she must be so embarrassed. Unfortunately Diluc, almost fully returned to the wry and flirtatious charm of his younger days, is not going to make it any better.]

Are you going to buy it?

[actinggrandmaster]

[Embarrassed and as red as Diluc's hair at this point. At least he couldn't see her in this state. She sighs and looks over at the clothing in question... He did say he liked it...

And she moves it to the 'buy' pile. He might never see it again, but hey, she could remember this moment.]

I might...

[phoenixblessed]

[He's sure she's the colour of his hair right now. Maybe he shouldn't have pointed it out? Maybe he shouldn't make it worse.

He's going to make it worse.]

I wouldn't mind seeing it in person some time.

[actinggrandmaster]

[She's glad he can't hear the Master Diluc screech she lets out.

There's a few minute pause as she gains her composure.]

Well, I guess I could wear it for you someday, if you would truly like to.

[phoenixblessed]

[It's fine, everything is fine. He's just like this now, sorry Jean.]

I would very much like to. I imagine it looks even better in person.

[actinggrandmaster]

[She's going to have to get used to having this version of Diluc around, honestly.]

If I can get over turning five different shades of red while wearing it, maybe...

[phoenixblessed]

I don't see anything wrong with that. But don't let me push you. I'm only teasing, Jean.

[actinggrandmaster]

You wouldn't be pushing me. I just... Oh, it's hard to say over a text message, ok.

[phoenixblessed]

Would you prefer to talk in person?

[actinggrandmaster]

That would be easier, yes.

Where would you like me to meet you?

[phoenixblessed]

I'm at home right now, so if it's convenient for you you're welcome to visit. Otherwise I can come to you, I don't mind.

[actinggrandmaster]

Then... I'll be by in a few minute, since you don't mind.

[She'll be at his front door in about 10 / 15 minutes, carrying a bag with her as she was just shopping.]

Thank you for having me on such short notice...

[phoenixblessed]

[And of course he looks immediately pleased as he opens the door and finds her standing there. When she had said a few minutes he hadn't realised that she was so close by.]

It's always a pleasure to see you.

[It sounds like he means it.]

Ah, come in. It's just me here at the moment.

[actinggrandmaster]

[She won't admit to heading his direction after she finished shopping. But, he could probably guess that, considering how fast she arrived.

She blushes a bit at his comment.]

Ah, thank you.

Where are the others?

[phoenixblessed]

They're out. [He doesn't track their movements so he has little more than a vague idea of where they are, but he's not worried about either of them suddenly arriving back home any time soon.]

You were very close by for someone who was just out shopping.

[Diluc gives her a wry smile as she comes in through the door.]

What would you have done if I wasn't home?
