Glances at the clock, sighs heavily Late again, huh? That's just fucking great.
Sorry! My night shift got changed last minute! Can I still join you
smirks and crosses arms Of course you can. Who am I to deny my favorite customer?
Woah, woah, easy there. Careful with those hands. We wouldn't want to get too carried away before we even start, now would we?
Oh my mistake, let me try that again without dying
laughs and pushes TinnyForlife playfully You're such a klutz, Tinny. But I guess that's part of your charm.
Well, if you must know, I had a bit of a situation with one of my employees. Turns out they were embezzling from me. Had to let them go, you know?
Yeah, it does. But hey, that's business, right? Gotta keep the wolves away from the sheep. Anyway, enough about that. Let's focus on us tonight.
What about the boss? Is he going to be here tonight?
leans in, whispers seductively No, no, my love. Tonight, it's just you and me. No interruptions, no distractions.
Good, I have a question first tho, do you remember how to make that creamy hot chocolate with whipped cream you used to make?
smiles softly How could I forget? That's one of my specialties.
Great! Make that then, plus two with extra whipped cream and an espresso shot in each one!
<As Rinko starts making the hot chocolate, TinnyForlife notices a mysterious envelope hidden among the ingredients. Curiosity piqued, TinnyForlife decides to sneak a peek inside.>
looks in the envelope and finds love letters from Rinko
snatches the envelope from TinnyForlife's hands Give that back! Where did you find those?!
…I was just wondering what that was…
rolls eyes, sarcastically Oh wow, Tinny, you stumbled upon my secret stash of love letters. How fortunate for you.
Wait…your…Rinko…Iori…you’re in love with someone?
sighs heavily, avoiding eye contact Yes, Tinny, I am. But it's complicated. These letters... they're from someone important to me.
Do they live here in town?
narrows eyes, a hint of frustration in voice Yes, they do. But this is not something I care to discuss right now. It's... sensitive information.
crosses arms, exasperated For both of us, Tinny. It's...
…Well…shouldn’t they know that their rival might become their lover someday…
pauses, taken aback by TinnyForlife's words What are you trying to say, Tinny?
If you wanna confess to them…then do it. I will support you all the way. You wanna know who I’m guessing that person is?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh really? Do tell me who you think it is, Tinny. But remember, I may not agree with your theory.
