Chapter 22 by DrClara DrClara

What's next?

Take her arm

You slip your arm through hers and let her leads you towards the elevators.

A short ride later, you find yourself entering a fancy restaurant. The butler, wearing a domino mask like all employees, bows as you both approach.

"Lady Clara, your usual table?" He asks with a deep baritone voice.

"Yes please Raymond, hot chocolate for me and for my guest..." Clara trails off as she looks at you, expecting you to pick your order already it seems.

"Hmmm...Mint tea please" you answer a bit nervously, not used to the lavish settings of the restaurant.

"Certainly my Lady." You see the butler moves his hand and an attendant immediately arrives to bring you both to your table, a small round one, near the floor-length window, giving you a breathtaking view over the city. He pulls Clara's seat for her and push it once she sits, doing the same for you a moment later. He then leaves with a last bow towards Clara.

"Lady Clara?" You ask, wondering if you maybe have been a bit too casual in your earler interactions. She lazily wave a hand in front of her before answering.

"No, don't worry about it, all the employees are formal that's all, I can't get them to call me just Clara. They treat all management like this, but visitors like you don't need to. Nevermind that, how do you find your stay so far?" She asks with a smile.

You answer that everything is still new for you, having arrived only yesterday and that you still need to get your bearings. While you're both making small talk, the attendant from earlier comes back with a tray, deposing the chocolate in front of Clara and your mint tea in front of you, putting a platter of sugar, milk and cream on the table as well.

After taking a sip of her chocolate and humming in approval, Clara puts her cup down and rests her chin on her crossed hands, looking at you intently. "What are you going to do first then?"

You finish your sip and take some time to gather your thoughts before answering. "I'm... not really sure yet. The driver of the carriage told me that I should check out the Classic arena first, as it is a good way to get a feel of the city."

She nods approvingly at you. "That is indeed a good idea, but I have an offer for you, if you're willing." She says smiling, her brown eyes fixed on you.

What's next?

More fun
