Who: that one guy and whoever is hanging around Rainbow's End
What: breakfast
Where: kitchen in Rainbow's End
When: sometime in the morning

A typical morning in Rainbow's End probably did not include the tableau in the kitchen that morning.

A young man, certainly not a resident of the grand house, was sitting at the island in the middle of the kitchen, drinking tea and ignoring the plate of cooling toast in front of him. He was paging through a weathered book, the cover so old that the title had long since vanished. He didn't seem at all concerned that his presence would probably upset the entire household, and quietly continued reading.

Wait, was Song really going to--Ren blushed and delicately looked away. Well. Um. Good for her?

"All right, sure," Ren replied, giving Amy a quick hug back.

Well, that left her alone with Ari now. She sank back into her seat and quietly offered her the cup of tea she had left mostly untouched that morning. "Will this do for starters?" she asked before sighing and reaching for the toast that she had also ignored.

"Basically," Ren began explaining after taking her first bite, "James apparently invited himself over for breakfast so he could ask about Lilith. We tried to get him to help us with the current situation in return, and his response was to be infuriatingly sexy." She shuddered and absently rubbed the spot on her arm that he had touched. "I'm gonna need a nice, cold shower once I'm done eating..." she muttered to herself. Too much information? Quite possibly, but she was still a little too flustered to realize that.

Ari slipped into one of the now empty chairs and sipped on the accepted tea, already feeling it work. Oh, good blessed tea how amazing you were to her sleepy self.

She could feel her eyebrow raising as Ren explained, not quite sure if she should be amused or not. "So that's why near everyone scattered after he left?" She mused, hiding her smirk behind the teacup. "I almost thought they were running from me." Never mind the fact that she was finally awake enough to understand that other parts were awake and why.

"Run from you, Ari? Never!" Ren laughed, though her expression darkened shortly after. "Call me a prude, but I don't like that guy at all..."

She shook her head and smiled again at Ari, pointing at her tea-based life support. "So what happened to all of your tea that made you come stumbling over here for a fix?" she asked teasingly.

She grinned just the slightest before returning to the tea, mulling over her own thoughts of their way-too-early visitor. "I dunno. He sort've intrigues me. Then again, I'm stupidly curious for my own good anyway."

She blinked then, glancing down at her near empty teacup and grinned ruefully. "Thought I still had a full canister of tea for today only to find out it was empty." She sniffed slightly, and pouted, still displeased with herself for not checking last night.
