[Her recent... experience with the cursed moon had left her looking rather... feral. But in a good way! Once the whole shock and pain and sickness wore off things were all fine. Granted some of her wounds from earlier in the month had opened up. But thankfully most of those were off camera. Anyway, she gave a happy smile, despite the semi-tired look in her eyes. And a fairly chipper tune in her voice framed with just the hint of a growl. All the while smoke from a cigarette faintly wafted around her.

This was going to take some getting used to... Maybe she could come up with a potion that could help with the side effects.]

So, I know there are a few of you here that don't know what it is. But Valentine's is coming up soon. To mark the occasion, I'll be offering catering services and whipping up some special chocolates and treats at the cafe.

In addition, to those who would like some part time work, I am also going to be looking for people to run deliveries, help in the kitchen, and so on!

If any of you are interested in either hiring, or special requests please let me know so I can get started on them early! Since I don't know if anything will happen that will require my attention as a knight next month I'd like to get things started now!

[ooc: and as always if you have any questions or want to plan something out ooc please feel free to take a look at this post.]

[ He's one of the people ignorant of what Valentine's Day is, and he barely knows what chocolate is. But anyone asking for help, especially in the kitchen, is bound to get his attention. Xingchen smiles and inclines his head in a little bow. ]

I am always happy to help work in the kitchen, and I could also help with deliveries. I would just need guidance in what exactly you are in need of making, I'm not very familiar with chocolate.

[She goes ahead and gives him a warm smile and nod back in return at the greeting. Someone is polite!]

Oh, wonderful! Chocolate can be a bit of an art, but is otherwise easy once you get used to it. Like a lot of things. Your level of familiarity also won't be much of a problem. We'll be more than happy to show you the ropes.

How far does tour familiarity go?

[ This sounds like fun! ]

Thank you. I never had it before coming here. I make a lot of soup, and am good at following directions for new dishes.

[Cooking with others is always fun!]

Excellent, then ya already got an idea of the basics of cooking! Don't worry, we can get you all setup well in advance and making chocolates like a pro.

[Spoken like she means it, and is confident that he can do it easily! Come, she shall show you the way... The Way of The Chocolatier!]

Oh, did you have any questions for me?

[ Xingchen would agree! He enjoys his work in the kitchens. He smiles warmly. ]

With your guidance, how can I fail? Thank you.

[ As for questions...he nods. ]

What is this...Valentine's you spoke of?

Leave it to me then! In no time at all you'll be a natural!

[She grinned back in return with a small giggle.]

As for the holiday, well it's usually a day when people confess their love for each other? There's a lot more to it than that, of course. But basically, people give each other gifts, go out on romantic dates and the like. Of course, it doesn't have to be romantic! It can just be about reaffirming that you care for your friends and family too.

Basically... it's a day of spreading love.

[ He can't help but be reassured!

Listening intently to the answer, the tips of his ears and his cheeks turn a bit pink, and he lowers his gaze a bit shyly. ]

That is a wonderful idea.

[ And one he'll be acting on! ]

I'm glad you agree. Especially during winter when most of everyone has been cooped up inside for the most part.

[They need to spread the love~! ♥]

[ He nods. ]

I do. Is there a specific day it's traditional for these gifts to be given?

Mm, usually it's held on the fourteenth, but considering it's not recognized here it will probably run throughout the whole month. Or for as long as people want.

I think...I like the idea of it running all month. The more joy and light that is brought and shared, the better.

Having it go the whole month would be quite nice. An entire month dedicated to love! It'll help attract more customers too! So that's a win-win.

It is.

[ Another question belatedly occurs to him, and he flushes just a little at his discourtesy. ]

Forgive me, I have been remiss! My lady, may I know your name? I am Xiao Xingchen.

Oh, of course! You can call me Anri, or Belgium, whichever you'd be most comfortable with.

[All that excitement over chocolate and they didn't introduce themselves!]
