 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Simply delighted at Benjee's thoughtfulness and foresight, and just general getting her way, Autumn sipped gently at her hot chocolate, savoring the addition of cinnamon. It really did heighten the flavor and added just a hint of something special. And she happened to like his pride and high standards, amused by his agreement of her exclamation. She found confidence to be very attractive, if he didn't already know.
Autumn reached to stab a piece of a peach with her fork, then settled back against Benjee's shoulder, looking up at him as he spoke. "Mm? No, I suppose not," she chuckled lightly. "Added benefits though. I just like the way it tastes," she admitted with a soft shrug. "It's just the right amount of spicy and sweet." And a little special when added to something like hot chocolate. Plus it helped to add a little extra flavor to things sometimes, having an otherwise strict athletic diet. She did not know the connection between cinnamon and Cleopatra so she gave him a curious look. "What do you mean?" She knew Cleopatra was a ruler and a strong, independent woman, so she was quite curious. And then.. "What's your favorite flavor?" It suddenly struck her as odd that she did not know, especially since he knew hers so well.
She chewed thoughtfully on her bite of peach and nodded in understanding as he mentioned his break plans. "I'm sure that will be nice to see your family." She missed her own sister and figured she'd have her own family plans. "Yes, we'll have some practice, but we also have tryouts over break so I'll be interested in how that goes. We need two new chasers this year." And since they were part of her trio, she was especially invested because they needed a good dynamic. "It'll be weird that this is my last year on the team," she mused, though that would mean good things too.
