;;going to add things to my queue and ahhhh I love looking at all this cute fashion.

“What’re you going to do with that dessert?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know. Be good and help me with some errands and maybe I’ll show you later.”

       “I wouldn’t say they’re healthy or make a good meal but-” Asa leaned forward, holding her hand out for some of Mine’s dark chocolate-covered espresso beans.

“They add a little pep to your step~!” She gathers up another fistful before sprinkling some into the palm of the other’s hand. “Though I suppose it may fall short of being an actual meal.”

Hi Mine-san! When did you first meet Ayame-san?

“How did Aya-chan and I meet? Well...”

//Hey there, anon! If you don’t mind I’m going to take over this question. Unfortunately Mine is one of those characters that didn’t really get a real chance to shine imho. There’s so much that goes into her besides being Ayame’s seamstress/beau. I’m incredibly fond of them meeting at a fashion show, class, what have you--- but if I’m being honest my personal headcanon is that Ayame met Mine at one of her previous jobs. Ayame is very honest about the nature of some of his clientele, so I can totally envision him being the go-to guy for cute and functional outfits for escorts/strippers/showgirls. I like to imagine that Mine has had a few questionable job titles in the past and being a showgirl is one of them. Imagine Ayame wondering why less and less of the girls are buying outfits, goes in to check on things, and boom. The girls are there and dressed to the nine’s but even though they look great, that certainly isn’t his work. Finds out that the girls are buying hand-tailored outfits from a fellow showgirl (Mine) who is doing so to make a few extra bucks on the side and to pay for materials to work on her own projects. She’s protective of her girls and wants them to feel the most comfortable and gorgeous when they perform. Ayame recognizes talent when he sees it and offers Mine a job to be his little helper. I like the idea of Ayame inviting her to work at his shop when it first opens, but I’m also so very partial to the thought of Mine being one of the powerhouses behind helping Ayame achieve his dream. Long story short, I think Ayame saw some of her work, began to spend more time with her, and after a while fell in love. I love them SO MUCH.

           “And where exactly did you think Ayame                  learned his fierce work-ethic from?”

With an arched brow, Hatori turned towards the false maid and moved to rest his chin in his palm, and his elbow on his desk. He hadn’t expected company, admittedly, particularly not so from the serpent’s partner. ‘Partner,’ yes, in all senses of the word- that was what Mine was to Ayame. In a way, it was comforting for the physician- to know Aya had a safety net when things grew rough. It was… Relieving.

Hatori found her to be an interesting creature herself, to so readily accept their curse, to join this circus called the Sohma clan while batting her eyelashes innocently. It was… Intriguing.

Snuffing out the cigarette- the scent would ‘cling’ to the expensive fabric, and stain the garment brown (how many times had Mine chided Hatori for it), Hatori moved to now stand, opting to pour his visitor a little drink. A bit cheekily, he extended the glass out towards her, and it was here that he issued a silent challenge: this is one of my best years, how many sips of this scotch will it take before you’re on the floor? Let’s see how you hold your liquor, Mine.

                                “This should loosen us up. Drink.”

“No sex can be a pretty powerful motivator, Tori.” She retorts, adjusting her glasses as if proving a point. A serious expression seems to take over her usual cheerful demeanor, though it only lasts briefly before the corners of her lips twitch into a grin. While she herself was very open about her sexuality, she knew a certain dragon who was not. With a soft chuckle she smooths out the front of her dress, making sure her apron was just right. “All jokes aside, I think it speaks volumes that Aya listens to every word you have to say. I’m sure you definitely had a hand in his discipline when it comes to his craft. He’s about as difficult, if not more so, to pull away from his work.”

Her gaze lingers on the cigarette that he snuffs out, giving him a knowing look before following him as he stood to pour her a drink. It was no secret that Hatori liked his whiskey, and not just any old whiskey; his profession did well to fund his guilty pleasure by allowing him some of the best liquor money could buy. With a nod she accepts the silent challenge, taking the glass and proudly knocking it back before wrinkling her nose a little at the burn. “Ah... I feel honored that you’re sharing a drink with me. Hopefully this means you’ll allow yourself some time to relax. Aya is out of town with some potential clients, so you’ll have to forgive my selfish desire to want to spend time with you. It’s not often enough that it’s just the two of us.”

       “Let me finish these and then I’ll make you anything you want to eat that is an actual meal.” Asa tossed a few of the beans into her mouth. She couldn’t very well let Mine live on dark chocolate covered coffee beans alone, the girl needed other food in her.

“Ohh?” It wasn’t as though Mine was particularly opposed to cooking, in reality she was actually quite skilled at preparing meals for herself and Ayame (though she much preferred baking if she were being honest), but that didn’t mean she would turn down a free meal. “Perhaps something that’ll warm us up now that it’s beginning to get frigid outside! I can even help with the preparations!”
