Market Chaos and Past Memories

"Rude, I never lie." Pfff, riiiight. But actually not so much here, he didn't have much need to to be honest.

Huh, had the shower house moved? Nec could've sworn it was on the other side of town a couple of weeks ago... And of course things were normal inside either, but at least the sinks were still there, so Nec headed over to one while Jasper-- okay! Just started stripping just like that okay that's fine he could... wash his face for tomato soup. With his back turned.

"Yeah okay, I'll remember that. Didn't you say you had a day off in a few days? Wanna meet up if I promise no dunking?" He scrubbed his face and wiped a bit with a damp paper towel on his shirt, keeping his back to wherever Jasper was.

Uh oh, what was that growling of his name? "Yeah? And I just promised, didn't I?" Shit had he promised to help her too with the hair thing? "You um... need ny help?" He could do it with his eyes closed, right? Even if she didn't care, he did! Not that he minded looking but it had been ingrained in him that you just didn't outside of certain activities. "Again, I promise no more dunking, and if you--" Oh wait, that was before. "I keep my promises."

"'Course I can do it" he muttered, turning and heading over to her while looking at anything else. Plus, nobody else was there, and it was his fault anyway (though it had been hilarious, no regrets).

"Alright deal. Meet up by the bakery? Around noon?" Taking some hair Nec thought for a moment, how to best scrub it? She was right, it was oddly sticky for to to soup. Eventually he just rubbed it between his hands, hoping his stony skin wouldn't damage it, and ut seemed to be working!

Nec had just returned the gesture before turning to leave, confirming their meet-up and giving a wave. Apo had been quiet until he left but Nec had definitely herd the snicker from the dragon in his mind. "I am not a prude" He'd grumbled to himself while making his way back to Raf's library.

Two days later he was early to the bakery, hoping to catch a good table. The weather was nice so sitting outside was popular, but he got a table a on the edge which was perfect. A bun too, the savory one he'd had on his second day here, but that one was already gone. No coffee at least, that would be rude. So for now he was lounging on the chair, long legs stretched out in front and relaxed. Dressed as usual he was nothing fancy, just the green kilt and a black shirt. No jacket necessary with the weather, and there he st while waiting.

Nec didn't jump, but he did get that mental jerk you sometimes get when surprised. "Hi Kitty. Yeah you did, I've been sitting here since last week!" Or half an hour, who knew, he just grinned at her and tipped his chair back on all four legs. "But I'm very patient."

The Bakery was the kind where you went and got your own food and drink, so when Kitty sat down, Nec stood. "So what kind of drinky stuff d'you want? Hungry?"

"Yeah... Sorry. But working on it as we speak!" Oh, that sounded-- not familiar but somehow correct? Always hungry. Huh. "Mocca latte, extra chocolate. Good choice." And he'd just pick some things to eat, though he'd had that bun he could still eat, he hadn't had breakfast after all. "Don't think so, but you should come rescue me if I'm more than fifteen minutes."

Disappearing inside, there were four people in front of him so he had time to decide. Waving at Anari who passed by, it was his turn and he placed his order, getting a tray. Her mocca , his regular black, another of the savory buns, two sandwiches and a piece of something that looked like rocks lide chocolate cake each, complete with caramel sauce. Nobody ever accused Nec of not having a sweet tooth.

It was a balance, but somehow it all went on the one tray. Probably because the bakery had large trays, smart move.

"I return." Playing butler he came up by her left side, but that's where it ended since he just put the whole tray on the table "Didn't remember what you liked so took some different things." Sitting back down Nec gave her a grin. "And have you noticed? No dunking!"
