ms. Granger.

[ a brief pause as sebastian considers his thoughts and chooses his words carefully. he's not nervous, per say, but this isn't something he intends to mess up. ] ...your company is not something I ought be buying. It's worth far exceeds that of any currency.

[ averts his gaze for a moment. ] I have enjoyed each and every moment that we have shared and, in lieu of the auction, I hope you'll do me the honor of accompanying me on a date tomorrow night.

[If Sebastian was anywhere inside the house, he would have easily heard the sound of breaking plates downstairs. When the young witch found that message waiting for her, she certainly lost her composure. After fixing the plates she broke in her startled state, she excused herself and went into the hall.]

I wasn't aware you were- a date, I- [So much for trying to think of an answer. Her mind was blank. She hesitated for a moment and finally nodded her head. She had heard it right, Sebastian referred to this as a date. Logically, it went hand in hand with the words he spoke. Oh how he had a way with words...]

I'd love to. Sebastian. I wasn't aware you were betting for me. We can't really see the bets on our own names.

[ and sebastian's around. in fact he's right upstairs in his bedroom. blinks as he hears the shattering of the dishes and his gaze instantly drops to the ground. a lighthearted chuckle follows and he moves from his seat at the window. ] I'm glad, ms. Granger. Is six forty five alright, ..? [ a tilt of the head as he moves for the door. yep. he's going to come downstairs. ]

【 VIDEO 】

[knowledgephilia]

That's fine. Six forty-five it is. [And she hears the footsteps on the stairway. She looks at that direction. Who's coming down?]

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ smiles. ] Perfect. I'll be looking forward to it, ms. Granger. [ and he heads for the kitchen. he's certain that's where the sound had come from. ] Is everything all right in there?

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

[She nodded her head and ended the feed. She needed some time to recover from the moment. Unfortunately, Sebastian appeared in the kitchen and she went red all over again.]

It was my fault. I had a little accident. I fixed it, though. Nothing magic can't fix.

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ no chance at recovery. deal. he smiles upon seeing that blush but does nothing to draw more attention to it. ] Of course. [ a nod. ] ...accidents happen. [ draws closer. ] I am most concerned about you, Hermione, ...you're not hurt are you?

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

Oh, no I'm fine. I was just... [Surprised? She laughed nervously.]

You don't have to worry, your shop is safe in my hands.

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ draws closer still. ] I hadn't a single doubt. [ and that's something he's said before. he knows you're capable hermione. ] ...but what were you doing, [ sebastian knows exactly what you were doing. ] Just what?

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

[She's holding her ground. Dammit, Sebastian. You know exactly what she was doing. She looked up at him, lips in a line.]

You really want to hear it coming from my lips, don't you. [She whispered the next bit, didn't need their co-worker's hearing.] You torture me, Sebastian.

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ oh come now. it's not worth it. though sebastian is enjoying this. a bit more than he should perhaps. ] ...now that all depends on what it is. [ and now he's right on top of her. there's a hand splayed on the wall beside her head as he leans in and drinks up her words. ] oh, Don't be so cruel Hermione. I do not. [ you like it. ]

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

[She had nowhere to run and her eyes quickly looked around the area. Thankfully no one could see. Wait, why was she concerned about that?]

Your message surprised me. A fallen plate was my reaction. [And she looked down, finding the buttons on his coat very interesting.] It was a positive reaction, I assure you.

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ nope. don't think so. not going to let her look down. catches her chin in hand and keeps his gaze level with hers. ] I see. oh, I know. I didn't think otherwise. I'm glad you're reacting so well to my evening invitation.

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

How can a girl resist? [And she notices that was a bit too much.]

I'm sorry, that was too bold.

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ sebastian's rather amused. ] Not at all. [ at least he didn't think so. ]

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

Yes it was. [And she'll move his hand from her chin and try to push his chest away so she can, you know, go do her work.] I'm sorry.

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ and he will step aside and let her pass. ] Sorry for what?

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

I don't think this behavior is very proper in the work place. [That's her avoiding the subject.]

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

Let us move upstairs then. [ and that's him making it worse. ]

【 ACTION 】

[knowledgephilia]

[And she took that in the wrong way. She grabbed her booklet she kept in her apron and hit him on the arm since he was just too damn tall to hit over the head.]

Sebastian!

[The authority in her voice doesn't reall do much considering the girl is bright red and trying not to laugh.]

【 ACTION 】

[sinfullysublime]

[ ...and with a laugh sebastian turns and leaves the kitchen. yep. you're far too easy to fluster, hermione. he's considerably amused for the time being. ]
