| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width:350px;,bTable] Seraphita was happily enjoying her lunch close by the lake, where she could hear the water passing through. It had a calming effect which is why it’s popular with the residents because it was so beautiful to see and hear, plus it was a perfect area to have a small picnic either with friends or by yourself! She had made two sandwiches plus a piece of cherry pie that she made herself.
She had a few trial and errors when it came to baking… but day by day Sera was getting better at it. The cherry pie she had turned out to be perfect and her mother was also pleasantly surprised by how her daughter became better at baking. Seraphita couldn’t help it but thank the Harvest Goddess for blessing her with the ability to bake. | ▼AURELIO  |

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,5,true][atrb=valign,top] seraphita forgive my incompetence in this post | [atrb=cellSpacing,5,true][atrb=style, width: 310px; height: 400px; background-image:url(http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/subtlenet2.png); padding: 5px; border-top: 5px solid #242424; border-bottom: 5px solid #242424; border-left: 2px dotted #242424; border-right: 2px dotted #242424;] Ever since he had moved to Primula Town he had loved it there. The atmosphere was exactly what he needed from his previous life, to get away from everything. Sure, he had been living there for a couple of years now - seven years in fact - but pretty much every day felt like a new one, which it obviously always is, but you know. It's that special feeling of having something new, despite how long you've done something or been somewhere. It was just relaxing and amazing.
This particular day he had chosen to take a leave from the fish shop and bring his fishing rod to the Tulipa Lake, where he was intending on catching dinner. The lake was known for it's abundance of fish life, so it was perfect for a spring outing.
With the fishing rod in his right arm, Aurelio closed the distance between himself and the lake, and sat down at it's shores. At first he laid the rod down beside him, leaning back on his arms as he took in the sun and the water for a minute before he did anything else.
There was some movement behind him, which he had completely either ignored or just not noticed when he had first approached the lake, but as soon as he turned his head and looked over his shoulder he saw someone else in his near vicinity. A girl, to be exact.
He smiled at her and said, "that looks delicious, I'm jealous." Then he waved as a part of his common courtesy. "I'm just doing some fishing -- let me know if I'm being a bother, okay?" Despite how it was commonly known that fishing was a very quiet sport, but hey, better have told her that before than later, right?

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width:350px;,bTable] Seraphita turned her head to the boy and smiled. ”A-ah, thank you. But I made too much…” What was she going to do? She just couldn’t eat it all in one sitting; that would be terrible of her. She had seen him a few times before, but never met him in person to have a conversation. He was cute though, making her cheeks turn pink a bit. Ah, this was too embarrassing! Blushing in front of a cute boy like him.
"I'm just doing some fishing -- let me know if I'm being a bother, okay?" The black-haired girl shook her head and smiled once more. ”No, it’s no trouble at all. I kind of like watching people do things. It’s sort of a hobby of mine.” Her mother made fish for dinner a few times, and Seraphita liked it, especially when the fish was baked.
”Are you a fisherman? By the way, I’m Seraphita Gillespie. It’s nice to meet you…” She titled her head, giggling. | ▼AURELIO |

Well wasn't that just the perfect stalker intro. Or she could just be a natural observer. There were lots of people like that, Aurelio knew, but as a hobby? Oh well. The brunette smiled and shrugged, turning his face towards the water again, contemplating picking up his fishing rod.
Before he could do anything, however, the girl spoke again. His eyes opened a little wider and he looked over his shoulder again, shifting his body a little since the last time he had been in that position his neck had started hurting.
"Seraphita?" he blinked, his eyes glancing upwards to the sky for a second before he returned it to the girl. "I think I've heard that name before .. but I'm so sorry, I don't recognise your face, I'm afraid."
The male smiled sheepisly to the black haired girl and bowed his head slightly to signal his apology. Then his hand reached for the fishing rod and picked it up, turning it in his grasp.
"I'm a guy, and I fish, but am I a fisherman? I don't know .. I work at the fish shop, though! So I probably am? Ahh, I'm not sure at all, sorry."
The conversation was starting a pattern now; him apologising for no reason. Well, the reasons could be debated, but to him it was more of a courtesy thing. At least right now.
"Ahhh! I forgot to introduce myself, didn't I -- my name's Aurelio Romano, very nice to meet you too -" he leapt to his feet and rushed over to the girl and her picnic, extending his arm so that she could take his hand in a formal greeting. All the while forgetting his original purpose of being at the lake.
"Now that that's all over and done, what're you doing here by yourself? Seems lonely." The fact that he was alone too didn't matter, he was a guy. Guys could handle being alone better than girls. Couldn't they?

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width:350px;,bTable] Haha, she guessed Aurelio wasn’t the type of person to start a conversation, just like her. That was okay; Seraphita didn’t know how to start a convo as well, but she was learning everyday how to be more social around others. ”I think my mother comes to your shop whenever she wants to buy some fish. She must have talked about me plenty of times.” Jenna always embarrassed her daughter like that.
She shook his hand to greet him properly then was asked why she was sitting here all alone. ”Oh, I don’t have that many friends and I like having lunch here whenever I get the chance so… here I am!” Looking down at the pie she had in her basket, she looked up at Aurelio. ”Would you like some? I believe I made too much…” | ▼AURELIO |

Maybe the fact that she was sitting alone, being all pretty and -- offering him pie?
"Thank you!" he bursted out, sitting down opposite her. "I was getting hungry, that's why I was gonna try catching some fish to make for dinner -" then it dawned on him that he was completely forgetting about the fishing part of his plans for today.
"A-are .." he blinked, looking down at the fishing rod, still in his grasp. Luckily he had held it in another hand than the one he had offered to Seraphita, because how could she shake his hand when it was all full with his fishing rod? That was impossible. "I was going to fish .. oh well, I can do that later!"
He put the rod down beside him then grinned, and waited to be given some pie of the piece she had hinted to. But wait, it was only one piece, how were they going to both eat it? An image of a couple of dogs sharing pasta together came to mind, but surely they couldn't do the same with a piece of pie? That didn't seem right. Instead he looked back up at her and recalled what she had said before offering him pie.
"A lot of people come to the fish shop," he said blissfully, still waiting for the pie, "but yeah, I guess that's possible. Or I just overheard it somewhere." He crossed his arms over his chest for a second to think, but didn't remember anything. "You should get more friends, though, 'cause being alone sucks. Unless you're like me! But you don't fish .. ahh, what to do .." A hand touched his brow. Thinking too much hurt his head, so he didn't like doing it that often.
"Hey, I'll be your friend!" he said suddenly, leaning forward towards Seraphita. "Then you won't be alone when I'm around, and we can eat pie!" He was really starting to crave that baked goodness right now.

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width:350px;,bTable] Seraphita knew how to exactly share one piece of pie with two people. She cut the pie in half and gave one half to Aurelio while she began eating the other one to herself. ”I’ve never been to the fish shop myself, so I was hoping to go there someday, in case my mom doesn’t have the time to go there.” Since she was all alone, her mother was out and about a lot, trying not to feel lonely. Seraphita didn’t have friends much as a kid, but fortunately, Aurelio decided to help her out.
”Hehe, you will? Thank you so much! I’ll be your friend too!” Yay, she was so excited to have someone as a friend. Maybe he could be a taste tester for her pies… or maybe not. It would depend on Aurelio liking her pies. Since she gave him a piece, it was only a matter of time before he would try it out.
”I’m also a nun too, but when I’m not working at the church, I like to bake. It really gets me excited and happy.” She was trying to learn how to make chocolate cake next. | ▼AURELIO |

How had she done it? Amazing.
He almost missed what she was saying by being awestruck, but shook his head to clear his mind and the grinned to the girl, nodding. "You should come to the fish shop more often!" Had she just told him she had never been there? He didn't remember.
His perfectly rounded, green orbs blinked a few times down at the beauty that was the pie he was holding in his hand, then stuffed it in his mouth so fast it was a wonder it didn't all smear out over his face. When he was finished, which didn't take too long, he grinned at her with cherry coloured teeth, wishing she had more because honestly it wasn't enough. He just loved sweets, okay, any kind, although he had his favourite like everyone else.
"That was delicious, thanks! Now that we're friends I can totally come and eat pie at your place!" Had she told him whether it was home baked or not? It didn't really matter, though, because as long as there was pie, Aurelio was happy.
"If you're a nun .. you work at the church?" Now that his hands and mouth was no longer occupied by sweets he had nothing else to do than talk. "I didn't know people worked in the church." He only thought people visited that building, praying and doing whatever that people did in churches. How would he know that people worked there? He wasn't a very religious man, so he never went.
"You should bake me an entire pie next time, though!" he grinned again, placing his hand on his fishing rod again after brushing his hands on his knees to get rid of any crumbs. "But I have to get back to my fishing if I want dinner today .." A sudden realisation came to mind, reminded him that he would probably be super hungry later if he didn't have dinner. He would just feel terrible. The feeling displayed across his face as he stood up and took a few steps away from where he had sat down. "I'm gonna go sit over here, so I'll see you around if you go before I'm done!"

| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width:350px;,bTable] "That was delicious, thanks! Now that we're friends I can totally come and eat pie at your place!" Wow, Seraphita didn’t expect someone to like her pies so easily! It would have been embarrassing to show Aurelio her place, since it was so small, fit for one person who was living there. But… she guessed it wouldn’t hurt to have him visit her at some point when she wasn’t working at the church.
”Mhm! Although there’s nothing to do there most of the time. But a lot of children come and play with me! I also read them stories too.” Some of them were orphaned while the others just liked visiting Seraphita when their families were close by. She loved children deeply.
”I’m also trying to bake a cake and when I finish it… I want you to be the first one to try it!” Seraphita said, blushing. She was glad that Aurelio tasted her pie. That means her self-esteem has improved on baking. She was definitely going to try her best! ”Okay, I’m going to start buying some groceries for my mother. It was nice meeting you!” With that, Sera took her leave. | ▼AURELIO |
