Charlotte stood there nervously, before reaching into her sweatshirt pocket and twiddling her thumbs in the confinement of her pocket. Watching as Vladimir stretched and rubbed his eyes, she took a small step back, her small bag of groceries hanging from her wrist. Blushing lightly out of pure shyness, she tried to make eye contact with him, but she failed miserably and immediately looked downwards at her feet. "Y-You can call me either Charlotte or Vanessa..." she said quietly, hesitantly lifting her hazel gaze upwards.

The Romanian tilted his head a bit, curious as to why she seemed nervous. "ah, well, what is it that you'd like best?" he asked, seeing that she didn't seem quite sure. "perhaps i can be calling you by a nickname?" he asked. The old man chuckled meanwhile and hobbled over to the back room, being gone for about 2 minutes before he hobbled back out with 3 bags of red liquid in them, along with what looked to be a long thin tube. "this will be enough for his dinner, breakfast, and lunch." the old man said simply to the girl, handing the bags to the hetaloid, who held them carefully.

"your smire is very beautifur Aqua-San." Japan said softly, putting another piece of fish in his mouth as he fell silent once again.

(I wonder just how awkward Charlotte feels by now.

Noooo Katie don't leave! ;-;)

Aqua looked like a tomato. "O-Oh. Thank you." She smiled slightly to clarify it. Was her smile beautiful? "I-I like yours as well." She replied.

Charlotte shrugged slightly and looked up at Vladimir. "It doesn't really matter...." she trailed off. In all honesty, she didn't really like her first name, because it sounded so prim and proper to her, but it didn't exactly matter, since a lot of people called her Charlotte, regardless of her requests to be called Vanessa. Once the old man came back out, she stared at the bags of what she assumed was blood and nearly cringed at the sight. "O-Okay..." she stuttered out quietly.

(( I'm still here... for a little while. ;w; ))

The boy had a small blush to his cheeks now as he continued to eat the fish, a small smile on his face now, happy that she seemed to enjoy his company.

The hetaloid thought for a moment, then smiled. "how 'bout i be calling you 'Nessa' yes? it is a very cute nickname for a very cute girl." he laughed softly, seeming to have cheered up now. "we are going to be good friends, i know it!' he said cheerfully, doing a little spin in place before doing a silly pose to try and get the girl to smile.

Aqua finished up slowly wiping her hands on her napkin and taking her dishes to the sink. "Pretty low maintenance for making it, and it's really good." She told herself turning on the water.

Charlotte thought about it for a second before she nodded in approval in response to his suggested nickname. "Okay, that sounds fine," she said, her voice soft and quiet as always. Upon hearing him call her cute, her cheeks flushed a very dark shade of crimson, making her look away slightly in order to try to hide her blush. Forcing her gaze upwards after a few moments, she smiled a bit at how silly he was being.

"it is a very good mear if you want to eat on the go." he replied. "it can arso be cooked to be rike 'jerky' to have as a snack." he pointed out, remembering his dried squid snacks that he ate sometimes.

The boy smiled, seeing he had succeeded. "ya! there is zhat smile i was looking for! it brightens up the room like lamp in the dark." he smiled happily, dipping his small silk hat to her. "i am being sure we are going to be having lots of fun times!" he chuckled, soon putting his hat back on before the old man laughed warmly. 'seems like you two get along swimmingly!" Mr. Gogo said happily.

Blushing even more, Charlotte's smile widened slightly in response to Vladimir's constant sentences of what seemed like flattery to her. "Yeah, I'm sure it does," she said quietly, a bit of sarcasm in her tone of voice. Glancing at the old man, she nodded and smiled a bit more. "Yeah..."

Aqua tapped her chin. "I'll have to try that." She smiled putting her dishes in the dishwasher. "Been a nice rough work day. Film gonna hit the hay early today." She sighed peekinf out the window. Yep. More rain.

Blushing even more, Charlotte's smile widened slightly in response to Vladimir's constant sentences of what seemed like flattery to her. "Yeah, I'm sure it does," she said quietly, a bit of sarcasm in her tone of voice. Glancing at the old man, she nodded and smiled a bit more. "Yeah..."

The man chuckled, but stopped once he noticed the rain outside. "oh my ... looks like you both might need this." he replied, gesturing his hand for them to wait a moment as he hobbled to the back room. Meanwhile, Romania rubbed the back of his neck, a little shy. "will ... Nessa be buying me?" he asked, looking over to her. "there have been few people who like being around me - even in just store." he sighed with a small chuckle, a bit nervous.

Japan nodded and soon finished his third helping of fish, now going to wash the dishes as he cleared up the table and put any leftovers into the fridge, thinking about how the rest of the week might go.
