This time was long overdue if you ask me, no?

( It would have been odd to keep addressing his guest over the phone without ever seeing him face to face. Besides, Caelus' woes do weigh on Sunday's heart as well. If he can grant him the company at least one time, perhaps he will learn his true value and feel less lonely.

And here, they can have proper privacy. His smile does convey a message, one that spells understanding and perhaps some kind of eagerness. He sees it in Caelus', too, through half-lidded gazes. He can apologize for his dress code later, properly, on his knees. Sunday will make sure of it and maybe then, Caelus will reconsider next time. )

You're very good at this and yet you only work part-time. Perhaps we should make this a more common occurrence.

( The way he handles the utensils, mixing, shaking, without missing a single beat, does draw in Sunday's attention to those hands of his. A gloved hand reaches for his drink to take it. Sunday drinks the same way he speaks, elegant and deliberate and in such a way that even the foam doesn't end up stuck on his upper lip. )

Would you like to try it yourself? I don't mind sharing it with you.
