"Well, I mean, I'm just glad you could make it." He ended up saying, giving her a warm smile.
He took a sip of his tea, unable to wait any longer. He just wanted to know what cherry blossom tea tasted like. And a special Kurumi-family-made cherry blossom tea too. ... Maybe he should have blown on it first a little. It was HOT! Smacking his lips together in an attempt to get them to stop hurting, he glanced at Kurumi for a moment. Hopefully she hadn't noticed that he was apparently too stupid to drink tea. What was wrong with his brain today?!
Lewis had even started to poke out his tongue to let it cool off in the cold winter air, because it was hurting like hell too. And he STILL didn't know how the tea tasted. "Huh?!" Too focussed on his own tongue, he had clearly missed why Kurumi was laughing. What was so funny? The stars? Oh, him trying to see the stars? Was that it? Yes, he must be looking like a genius today. NOT.
Quickly putting his tongue back into his mouth, Lewis tried to ignore the blush he felt forming on his cheeks and nodded vigurously. "Yes, I know but-" But he really didn't want to contradict anything Kurumi said so he just muttered, "Nevermind" and pulled his telescope towards him. Tilting it upwards he pointed his wand at it, muttering the focusing spell under his breath until he could see the North Star properly. Right.
Now where was this Pollux? After a couple of minutes of silence and swerving the telescope around, Lewis finally focused it on a specific star again. "Hey, that's it, isn't it?" He exclaimed quite happily, pointing at the night sky. It WAS Pollux, wasn't it?
Kurumi smiled and continued to sip on her tea. Should she respond to his comment? She would probably only say something along the lines of,
I'm glad that you're glad...which really didn't make much sense and was a bunch of sillyness and would make her look even more naive than she already was. So, the fifth year settled for sipping on her cherry blossom tea, blowing gentle on it now and again to cool it.
Her thoughts wandered some more as she sat there sipping her tea. She thought about those cold winter days when it was just her mother and her in the house. On those cold nights, after another round of scolding her for something, the two would sit in the living room under the kotatsu eating mandarin oranges and sipping on cherry blossom tea. There weren't going to be very more of those days anymore...
Kurumi bit on her bottom lip and turned her face away from Lewis for a moment to compose herself. Nothing to see here...just looking at her telescope and checking the charts. Yep.
She turned her head around again when she heard Lewis say that he found the star in question and masked expression with a curious smile. "
Oh?" she asked as she leaned over a bit to see what Lewis was looking at. Kurumi reached for her star charts and tried to match things up before speaking again. "
Yep, that's it." Kurumi then turned her own telescope towards the same direction and attempted to find Neptune, but was finding it hard to find it. Maybe she needed to focus her telescope again? "
Hmm...I can see Sirius...but I can't seem to find Neptune." Cue a slight frown.
