Skye watched Pride as he got up and then looked at the pot placed in the center. She looked into his cat-like eyes and then smiled. "Yeah. I was thinking about trying lavender and jasmine, the Long Chu, and the Lu An Gua Pian. I thought those sounded really good. Although I don't know how much money I have on me. Probably just enough to pay for the next three cups before I have to work again and pay off some apartment bills." Skye said.

Pride chuckled, shaking his head. "Don't worry about it. My treat. Try as many of the teas you want, no charge." he said, pouring her another cup of tea. He set the pot back on the table before standing. "I'll start the Long Chu for you." he said, making his way to the back to prepare the tea.

Skye smiled. She could tell she was going to be here for awhile. She placed her elbow on the table before putting her cheek in her palm. She traced the rim of the cup with her finger tip before she took a sip of it and put it back down. Then she began to trace her finger tip over the rim again. She got a far off look in her eyes and she began to zone out.

Pride returned after a few minutes with the tea, setting it down in front of her. "You know," he started to say before sitting down as he looked at her, tilting his head slightly with an amused smirk on his face. "You zone out like that too often, and someone will think you're getting sick." he said. He shrugged, pouring her a glass of the Long Chu before pouring himself a glass and sitting back, glancing out the window. "You're not use to being in this kind of environment, are you?" he asked, glancing at her.

Skye shook her head. "Not at all. I'm used to always moving. Always doing something. This is the only place I can actually sit still." Skye said. She glanced at the cup in front of her and gently blew on the tea before taking a sip. It was delicious and Skye smiled. She couldn't help it. This place was something completely new to her. She loved it.

Pride shrugged, glancing around the shop. "It's been in my family for a while. We've always sold tea and flowers. As well as being weapons." he said, smiling and sipping at his tea. "Being here and on jumping gaps are the only time I can really feel alive." he added, sitting back and closing his eyes.

Skye smiled and sipped at her tea some more. She hadn't been able to relax since that night in Paris. She always had to be on the move. Sitting still made you a target. Sitting still is what got him killed. Skye sipped at her tea again, trying not to give away anything. He was a distant memory, but he was still a part of her. At least for now he was. "Sitting still can get you killed. I learned that the hard way." Skye's voice was barely a whisper.

Pride's ear twitched as he opened an eye and glanced at her before opening the other. "What happened?" he asked, concern showing ever so slightly in his eyes as he looked at her, sipping at his tea again.

Skye sighed and starred down at her tea. "I used to live in Paris. I'm part French and I live there for awhile. While I lived there, I had a partner. He was also my boyfriend. We had snuck out for a night to ourselves and were standing on top of the Eiffel Tower. It was relaxing. We hadn't even noticed the Kishin Egg that was watching us. We were sitting ducks up there. And so while I was concentrating on him, the Kishin Egg was concentrating on us. My parnter saved me, taking the blow he saw coming from behind me. He died. I freaked out. In anger, I used my Fire Wavelength and set the Eiffel Tower on fire. That's how I learned that sitting still gets you killed. That's why I always have to be moving." Skye said. She took a sip of her tea and wiped a single tear from her eye, hiding the motion. No one needed to see that. She had to keep her tough appearance. At least until she could trust people.

Pride nodded, humming slightly before standing, leaning over the table an taking her chin in his hand, kissing her cheek softly just under her eye. "Never be afraid of showing people who you really are." he said, taking the cups and teapot to the back. "We'll be late for class if we don't leave now." he said, leaving the shop.

Skye wasn't expecting Pride to kiss her cheek. She blushed the darkest shade of red and stood still for a moment before nodding at his comment. She got up and followed him out of the shop. Maybe he was just being friendly. Or maybe he meant something else. Either way, Skye wasn't going to let it drive her crazy until she knew which. She was perfectly fine with waiting to find out more about this mysterious Pride person. She smiled. She was going to have fun spending time with him. She could tell.

-After Class-
Pride walked in, holding the door open for Skye and smiling to her. Once she was inside he'd make his way to the back, chuckling in his mind. "Which tea you want this time?" he asked, glancing back as he held the wall, waiting for her answer before disappearing to the back to make the tea.

Skye walked in ahead of Pride and instantly relaxed. She could feel all the tension leave her body and she lamost dropped down onto her knees. Instead, she just stumbled around a bit until she caught her balance again and turned a deep red. When Pride asked her about tea, Skye smiled. "I think I'll try the Lu An Gua Pian." She said smiling at Pride. When he disappeared to go make the tea, Skye made her way over to the window seat. She plopped down and brought one knee up. She rested her left arm across her knees and then rested her head against her shoulder. She looked at the flower vases around the seat and smiled when she saw red-tiger lillies and snapdragons. She fingered the petals and was completely absorbed in her own little peaceful world.

Pride glanced around the corner as he made the tea, smirking as he pulled his head back. He nodded to the water, waiting for it to heat as he turned and grabbed an empty vase, setting it in front of him between the wall of flowers, grabbing red tiger lilies and snapdragons with a few hand fulls of jasmine and a single large red rose. He began to arrange them in the vase after filling the vase an 8th of the way with water; he filled most of it with the red tiger lilies, putting a few stands of snapdragon in the back. He tilted his head slightly, a smile spreading on his face as he put the large rose in the center, spreading the jasmine around to dot the red tiger lilies. He blinked, turning and pulling the tea off the heater and adding the herbs, letting them sit for a while before pulling them out and setting the water back on the heat for a moment, turning and grabbing the vase of flowers and walking out front, setting them down on the table in front of Skye. Without saying a word or waiting for her to say anything, he immediately turned and walked back into the back to finish the tea.

Skye looked over when Pride put the vase of flowers on the table. She walked over, but he turned before she could say anything. She looked down at the vase and smiled. The flowers were beautiful and most of all, her favorite flowers were a part of it. Skye smiled and then fingered the petals of the red-tiger lillies. She paused when her fingers bumped the large red rose. She looked back towards where Pride had disappeared and then looked back at the vase. Roses usually stood for romance. A blush slowly crept through Skye's cheeks and she smiled. A small giggle escaped her lips and she sat down. She smiled happily and starred at the vase of flowers. ((omg i am so sorry for such a late reply! i'm terrible and i can't believe i haven't gone on here in so long. i'm so sorry!!!!!))
