The artist's high [open] [M]

She shook her head. "I don't tend to get out much. Unless I'm performing." She chuckled slowly. "So I rarely frequent anything."

[SilverLuna]

''That is such a shame. If you like, if I do not freak you out to much, if you want a little break let me know. I know some really good and beautiful places. Heck there are a bunch of family homes I have acces to as well.'' Symphonica suggested.

''But yea. Only if you think that is alright and comfortable. I mean... I can suggest all of these things but in the end a friendship is earned and not forced. If things do not go well then it is alright too. Already having this opportunity makes me really glad.''

Nikita nodded. "Thanks." She said with a gentle smile, before looking up as a synthetic, feminine's voice crossed the intercomm. "We've arrived, Nikita." The musician nodded. "Thank you, Iha," she chirped as the limousine pulled over, their drvier exiting and opening the door for the pair.

[SilverLuna]

Symphonica got out of the limousine. The streets were still wet and puddles of water were still laying by the overfull drains, but at the least it had stopped raining. It was a rather luxery neighbourhood with fancy shops, diners and cafe's. Lamia Latte beside them.

It felt as if she had not been here for ages but there was a warm feeling of nostalgia. She could see the wooden tables, chairs and the waiters polishing the silverware. The warm candles burning and the displays of delicious cakes. The glass containers with a variety of coffeebeans and a part of the selection of tea's. She wondered what Nikita would like but also wondered how much attention would be drawn to her. At the least this cafe's popularity would certainly rise.

[ARAD V1.0]

Nikita also stepped out of the limousine, taking Symphonica's arm in hers and smiling softly, before walking in. The rich scent of coffee and cakes met her and Nikita closed her eyes for a brief moment, taking a deep breath and enjoying the scents. Various people gave her glances, not sure if they had seen her before.

A waiter walked to them and smiled, "Miss Mirai, Miss Symphonica, please follow me." At the mention of Mirai, the soft chatter went silent for a brief moment and the costumers looked to the pair, nervous whispers slowly filling. Nikita chuckled slowly and turned around. "Sorry everyone, I'm just here to enjoy some coffee with a friend." She said with a slightly apologetic smile. And like that, people went back to their bussiness.

[SilverLuna]

That was the positive side of higher class cafe's. The people coming here were often business people and would not scream like fangirls.Neither would they gather around Nikita. Not for now anyway. Already Symphonica noticed people on their phones and it would be an easy guess what they were typing. But indeed, Lamia Latte had been the proper choice.

Well, there was some youth from rich parents that approached Nikita after the waiter had escorted them to their table, she gave Symphonica a meaningful look, before looking to the two teenagers, who were also dressed for the occassion with a smile. "Yes?" She asked, expecting either asked an autograph or a selfie.

[SilverLuna]

''Y-your concert tonight... was amazing...'' one of the teenagers said stumbling over her words. Would you... would you perhaps like to sign our tickets and CD? We bought them after the show.''

The way the two young teens stumbled over their words made Symphonica smile warmly. It was actually quite cute.

''And if possible... maybe a picture? Of course...if you decline it is alright after all... I am sure you are here for your enjoyment.''

[ARAD V1.0]

Nikita smiled slowly and stood up, "I'm glad yiu had a great time,," she said with a soft smile, pulling a black marker from her pocket and signing the tickets and cd's.

One if the teens pulled their cellphone and Nikita wrapped her arms around both their shoulders, holding her hands up with a 'peace' sign and smiling brightly for the picture.

[SilverLuna]

''Thank you so much'' the girl said and was bold enough to give Nikita an innocent kiss on the cheek. ''Come on. I am sure lady Nikita wishes to enjoy the evening with her friend now.'' the other said with a smirk. The staff did not seem to be very fond of it either but it were only two people so let it slide.

[ARAD V1.0]

Nikita chuckled softly at the kiss, her left eye did twitch momentarily. She hated being touched and kissed unannounced. It was disgusting. She sat back down infront of Symphonica, trying to forget about the dirty spot on her cheek. She still had the same warm smile. "You order me something," she said with a soft giggle.

[SilverLuna]

''Alright. I do hope your taste is the same as mine though.'' Symphonica said with a giggle.

''What would you two like to order?'' A man asked in a tailcoated suit. ''Lady Symphonica, it has been a while. How was your trip?''

'Trip?' Symphonica thought. ''It was alright thank you... Oscar.'' Symphonica replied getting the name quickly from the name tag. ''I would like to order a pot of vanilla, rose and cocobean tea and an etagaire of small delights please for both me and my friend.''

''Of course mi-lady. Any preferences?'' Oscar asked as he noted it down.

'Preferences....' Symphonica thought. Surely she had been here often enough to be asked that. But she could not remember what her preferences were.

''I am sure you know what I like, but a mix of the cafe's favourites are fine.'' Symphonica replied calmly and kindly.

Oscar bowed and left.

Symphonica exhaled calmly. ''Rather then one large cake might as well make it a good taste test don't you think?'' she asked.

[ARAD V1.0]

"I enjoy being surprised," Nikita answered in response. "So, I'm not picky." A soft chuckle followed, before the waiter approached them. Nikita watched the interaction between the two with a same soft smile, grabbing a napkin and wiping her cheek, where the teenager  had kissed before.

She gave a soft nod towards Symphonica, "smart decision. I agree completely," she said with a soft chuckle.

[SilverLuna]

''Be careful though. This place is not famous for it's good tea's and cakes without a reason.'' Symphonica chuckled.

A nice glass teapot and expensive cups were placed on the table and filled with a lovely smelling tea. Also a small jar of honey, a pot of sugar and a small can of milk were placed down by Oscar.

Symphonica took some of the honey and allowed a small bit to drip into her cup of tea.

[ARAD V1.0]

Nikita took the small can of milk, pouring several droplets in her own tea, grabbing it and smelling it, shuddering in delight. "That.. Smells amazing," she admitted with a soft chuckle.

[SilverLuna]

''I know right? They blend the flavours here themselves. Vanilla. Rose. A small hint of coco. It is amazing.'' Symphonica purred taking in the scent of the tea as well. ''They also sell it if you are interested in taking some home.''

[ARAD V1.0]

Nikita chuckled. "I'd try.. But I don't think it's easy to make such good tea," she answered with a soft chuckle.

[SilverLuna]

''The key is the temperature. Often the water is boiled and immediatly poured on the tea leaves. The water has to be boiled briefly, then leave to slightly cool. How much it has to be cooled depends on wether you have black, green or white tea. And of course the time. To hot and to long gives really bitter tea.'' Symphonica replied.

[ARAD V1.0]

"You are.. Quite the tea artificiando,"  Nikita replied with a soft giggle, stirring her tea softly and taking a gentle sip, closing her eyes in delight.

[SilverLuna]

''This place organises workshops occasionaly regarding making tea and sweets that are removed of the menu. It is quite fun really.'' Symphonica took a few more sips of her drink before two young handsomelooking men brought over several etagaires with delicious foods. One contained a variety of exotic fruits, baker cream and soft white chocolate sauce, The second one had a selection of small tarts, pies and chocolates, and the third a wide variety of small sandwiches. It looked and maybe was a lot but it was a littlebit of everything.

''If there are any wishes please signal us.'' the men said with a deep polite bow before they tended to the other customers.
