After the fiasco with the dopplegangers, the weather turned hot. The forest was active again not just with crypts, but also with wildlife as the seasons flipped. Summer was upon the tenants off Woe manor once more.
With the weather turning, the bar had finally reopened the balcony and its outside seating. Arsenic was more than pleased with his boom in business. He was flying about his bar, getting drinks to customers, chatting with them, and turning up his charm to up his sales. He was in the middle of a conversation with Remedy when an unown servant, wobbly and awkward, came to deliver a message to him.
Hello, Ari! I want to invite you out for lunch! It’s been sooo long since we had a chance to do so. Let us meet in front of my studio for lunch break! See you soon, brother!
<3, Florence
Arsenic smiled and awkwardly thanked the servant. When lunch rolled around, he was quick to grab his lunch pack, clock out and make his way to Flor’s workshop. With a smile a little too big and a bit too much of a rush to his step, he was greeted with her big sheep eyes, and a plea.
“Just…keep your cool, Ari. And Please PLEASE, hear me out?”
And that’s how he found himself sitting across from Thistle who had basically disappeared inside the café for the last six months. Arsenic was shocked she even wanted to be in the same room as them after what happened last winter, but that shock quickly turned to malice the longer he looked at their masked face.
Both of them stayed silent for Flor’s sake, but the anger and mistrust that radiated off of them made the room swelter even hotter than the sun outside. Arsenic’s wings fluttered in anxiety every so often. Thistle’s eye twitched once in a while.
Still, they listened to Florence’s proposal. Whether the other tenants knew or not, the tension between the bar and the bakery was getting a little uncomfortable. They needed to hash things out and move on from the grudges they were still holding onto. She was willing to… move past recent events for the sake of keeping the manor together. Running something together to promote some healthy competition like the good old times might be the right idea!
The bartender kept his gaze on Florence, occasionally glancing to Thistle for a second. The brewer seemed equally baffled. To work alongside the person he hated the most, at the request of his beloved little sister…
“Well…what do you say, Ari?”
“….I guess…”
