[hauntedking]

Well, I do have standards.

[ He cocks his head toward Yuri, listening with that little smile still hovering on his face. ]

...and I think you meet them. Regardless of what activities you... might get up to for your own reasons.

[wolfish]

Is that right...?

[ It's another difference, he thinks, between the two kings. But then, this Dimitri's experiences are different too, after all. ]

Well, you won't hear me complain about passing muster.

[ He procures a spoon from one of the drawers and scoops up some sugar, pausing to show Dimitri. ]

Let's try this much to begin with, then add the milk. We'll see how we like it.

[hauntedking]

Alright!

[ He waits with bated breath. Although he sure is making eyes at Yuri, honestly. ]

Here's to your concoction.

[wolfish]

Ours, yeah? My contribution was the ice.

[ Yuri takes notice, debating whether Dimitri's looking at him that way consciously or not. Either way, he welcomes it, spooning sugar into their doctored tea before gesturing to the cups. ]

Care to pour the milk?

[ In keeping with their team effort. ]

[hauntedking]

[ With a nod, Dimitri very carefully adds the milk, making sure he's not going to overdo it. Instead it's just a slow pour in each cup and then he reaches over to do a bit of a stir.

Perfect. Probably. ]

Shall we see what we've created?

[wolfish]

[ Yuri nods, picking up the glass nearest him. ]

Let's see how we did.

[ And then he raises his cup just a bit further. Cheers? ]

[hauntedking]

[ Dimitri nods. ]

Cheers.

[ He plucks his own cup from the counter and takes a slow sip and he smiles. ]

A success - so let's have those rolls... and maybe we can sit for a little while and talk.

[wolfish]

[ Yuri follows suit, taking a sip of his drink. His initial response is an approving hum, then he offers Dimitri a smile in turn. ]

I'd like that... I tried a little something different with these, and I've been looking forward to hearing your opinion.

[ He's been anticipating that live Dimitri reaction, in fact. ]

[hauntedking]

[ Dimitri retrieves one of the buns and takes a bite, chewing thoughtfully.

Getting used to tastes has been one of the challenges he's dealing with. It's... fascinating, in so many different ways. The flavor makes him perk up. ]

...I quite like it. I think it goes well with the tea!

[wolfish]

[ Yuri's smile warms for that, overtly pleased. ]

Good to hear it... I came up with that recipe just for you, you know.

[ Now that Dimitri can properly enjoy his food, Yuri has devoted some thought to what he might like best. ]

So then, where shall we sit? I'll leave that to you, as my proper host.

[hauntedking]

...just for me? Well, now I'll simply have to eat more.

[ He takes his tea and his roll and gestures. ]

The dining room seems appropriate, certainly. Please - do me the honor.

[wolfish]

Dining room it is.

[ Yuri collects the basket and starts in the direction Dimitri had indicated. ]

I'd call it a date, but I fully intend to take you out at a decent hour when you're rested.

[ Notice of intent delivered. ]

[hauntedking]

...and I will accept.

[ Dimitri laughs. ]

It's only proper.

[wolfish]

[ Yuri smiles, warmed by that sound. ]

Then I'll be sure I ask properly to suit.

[ Proper is a running theme. ]
