Who: Ada Vessalius and Delita
When: 11/09
Where: Cosplay Cafe, after work
What: Ada personally invited Delita to come meet with her after work. Have a drink... maybe a bite to eat... and talk about things he knows that she wants him to be quiet about.
Rating/Warning: G/None. Will update if needed.

From the very beginning, Ada felt like she fit in very well at work. She had fun, and got to wear all kinds of cute and unique outfits and she was able to spend that time talking to and serving people, something she enjoyed immensely. She had been a little nervous at first. After all, this kind of work was utterly foreign to her, having grown up with the expectations that she would marry into a proper family, not enter into work. However, the transition was not nearly so scary as she thought. People were so much fun to work with and not one day was ever boring.

Ada got caught up in her work and hadn't even noticed the time when she was Delita walk in. Blinking, she noticed the time hurried to catch up with him. She should have been back getting changed already. She hated making people wait, but it couldn't be helped. But she would certainly hurry so as not to keep him waiting any longer than she had to.

"Sorry, I didn't realize it was this late already... please! Have a seat! I just need to go get changed and I'll be right back."

Although it was fun to wear, she didn't suppose the cute magical girl cosplay outfit was the kind of thing you should wear when you were meeting someone. It should only take her a few minutes to change and put everything back in it's place.

Of course, this would all be far more useful if it was brought up - but it's an interesting clash of world views. There's no time in Delita's world (both literally, and figuratively) for such foolishness, while she advocates it as a means to escape the world. Maybe one day they'll get to talk about it.

But her question surprises him, only because for all he knows, she may have said "Who is Gloobleflorp Wizzerdrix?" It's a name that has absolutely no meaning to him, to the point where he doesn't even know why she would assume he knows anything about who this person is. But given that they aren't the closest of friends, and what he does know about her, he can gather a guess. Normally he'd sit on this information, but he suspects he knows who it is. And ... well, it's not like it's hard to explain why he knows.

"Your beloved." It's important to note that even though this is completely a guess, that Delita doesn't make it sound like a guess. He sounds as if he's completely sure as to who it is - perhaps not on a buddy-buddy basis, but certainly not just a shot in the dark. Her reaction will tell him more - much more - than her words do.

For as much as Ada loves talk of strange things like other worlds and dimensions, magic and curses, it's something that she would certainly enjoy talking about.

He's no fool, that's for certain. Even so, it startles her how suddenly he says that, and also how confidant he is in his assessment. Ada can't help but look around a bit, as if making sure no one heard. It's certainly odd behavior for someone so in love with the person. It was something more befitting of one who was embarrassed or ashamed of that relationship. All the same, she didn't seem to be either of those things when she spoke about him herself.

If he knew Vincent for anything else, she expected that he would have said as much. That was it's own sort of relief. But it didn't prove that they didn't share any related correspondence besides herself. For that reason, it was still important that she speak with him.

"You are... correct."

Boyfriend, lover, beloved... they were all appropriate terms, she supposed, though she'd never had it in her to utter them to him. But it wasn't like she felt threatened, no. For all his quirks, he had always been kind to her, and she felt quite happy with the way things were. It wasn't her who worried about others learning of their relationship - although there were a number of reasons that perhaps she should. But although she was fine with it, Vincent had always felt it best to keep it quiet. And after... well...

"I don't suppose you've ever met him, have you?" She can only guess as much from what he'd said, but she doesn't sound like one who's simply guessing either. "I know this might seem strange but... I want to ask you... not to say anything about it."

Now, if he knew more about the man, Delita would be able to keep going about this. He'd be able to say that yes, he knows everything... but honestly, Delita doesn't know anything about him other than what he saw in that little thing, and if she hadn't given him the name, he would know precisely jack and shit.

So he shakes his head. Honesty is not the best policy - he knows that well - but there's nothing to be gained by making things up. "I have never met the man, nor would I say anything about it. What could I gain from that, Ada? Do you think me a slanderer? A rumor-starter?"

This is giving him all sorts of information to work with, though. Is she embarrassed about this? Is it a secret tryst? He doesn't know, because he doesn't know the context of their relationship at all - but he knows that it's certainly [i]something[/i].
