Just a Random Rumor?

Augustine Sauveterre 7/13 near Apprassage

Just curious... Do you know that Noah Campbell binge-watches on America's Next Top Model?

Augustine Sauveterre Well, do you need any help with the squares then?

[invocate]

Li-Na Yiu Alright. Is there a wish I could grant for you? Or could I sing a ballad to you?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I don't know what wish should I'll give to you.
Augustine Sauveterre But I would like to hear you sing.

[invocate]

Li-Na Yiu Okay! Shall we meet somewhere? A cafe?

Never mind...

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Sure. How about a cafe in Chata then?

[invocate]

Li-Na Yiu Oh, I saw one across from Freshens that looked good!

Either you want to subscribe my journal or you just made an accident? I know that feeling...

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Marvelous! Will you tell me the location then?
Augustine Sauveterre I think I can meet you by 2 PM later.

DX effing hover menu gets me every time

[invocate]

Li-Na Yiu [insert address here]
Li-Na Yiu That works for me! My shift ends at 2 so I can be three around 2:30.

That makes two of us then... So who will start the thread?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Alright. I will see you there.

[ After her shift at Expressive ends, Li-Na hops the closest bus to Chata. She misses the subways of Hong Kong but for whatever reason the one in Recolle just doesn't work? It's odd, but what can you do?

By 2:30 she's found her way to the cafe across from Freshens. As she queues to order an iced coffee, she scans the room for the guy she'd talked to earlier.

Actually, now that she thinks about it, is this such a good idea? She doesn't really know this guy! Sure, he seems to know Noah except not, but she's only just starting to get to know Noah herself.

At least they were meeting somewhere really public?

She is so not going to mention this to Chiyo when she gets home.]

[Of course, as he already arrived at the cafe by 2 PM, Augustine can be found at the right side of the cafe, which he waves at her to get her attention. Also, he doesn't need to fall in line as he already has a cup of cappuccino on his table.

If Li-Na approaches him, Augustine gives a small smile at his chatmate.]

Oh, hello there. You're Li-Na, correct?

Re: [action]

[invocate]

[Li-Na nods when she catches sight of him and heads over once her order is ready.]

Yes, hello. And you are Augustine?

Re: [action]

[megabond]

[He nods yes before he gestures to a seat next to him.]

Why yes. Have a seat. We have a lot to talk about the bingo.

Re: [action]

[invocate]

[Li-Na sits neatly on the chair, tucking her legs to the side.]

A lot to talk about?

Re: [action]

[megabond]

Well, our bingo game, of course.

First off, you want to sing a ballad, correct?

Re: [action]

[invocate]

[Is there a lot to talk about in regards to the bingo though? Li-Na isn't quite following Augustine's train of thought.]

Yes. That is what the square says. Sing a ballad. To a stranger.

[As opposed to any of the few friends she's slowly started to make in this new city.]

Though, I really only know ballads from back home. I do not know any in English.

Re: [action]

[megabond]

Well, judging by your name, you're Chinese, correct?

That's alright. I think language doesn't matter to this square.

Re: [action]

[invocate]

Yes, technically I'm Chinese, but I consider myself a Hong Konger.

Hmmmm, yes I understand what you mean.

[she takes a sip of her iced coffee]

Then I will sing a song by Super Girls. Roughly translated, the title is 'Beautiful Farewell.' It is about the bittersweet feelings of deciding to end a relationship.

Re: [action]

[megabond]

[Well, there are different kinds of Chinese countries, so it makes sense.]

Ah... Well, let's hear it then.

Re: [action]

[invocate]

[Li-Na digs out her phone and scrolls through her music until she finds the song. Then putting one earbud in so she can hear the song but also the environment, she hits play.

And softly sings along to this]

Re: [action]

[megabond]

[As he listens to her ballad, he can tell how beautiful her voice is. Not only that, the song she sang is enough for him to smile despite he doesn't understand Chinese. Regardless, it is enough for him to enjoy the song altogether.]

Re: [action]

[invocate]

[Li-Na does get a few stares from other patrons of the cafe, but she plugs on until the end of the song and just tries to keep from being too loud.]

Re: [action]

[megabond]

[He does agree she is a little bit loud, but he just enjoys her ballad. Even if she lowers her voice, he feels the quality of her voice didn't diminish.]

Re: [action]

[invocate]

[And then the song ends. Li-Na pulls the earbud from her ear and wraps the cord around the phone.]

There.

Re: [action]

[megabond]

[Once she finished her ballad, the first thing Augustine did is to clap quietly to Li-Na.]

That is a marvelous song, Li-Na. Especially with your beautiful voice to compliment it.
