6th Light - Smoothies [Audio/Common]

[lightwithin]

Is anyone in charge of the coffee shop down here?

I - heh - I may have borrowed your blender.

I'm making smoothies though. And well, there's enough to share, if anyone else wants one.

You got any citrus? Orange is my favorite, but I'll honestly be okay with anything.

[lightwithin]

Sure! Xanth brought me oranges, so I just made some up. There's also some mango here, if you want to try it. Heh, I don't know if it counts as citrus or not.

I'm Kairi, by the way.

[Gideon chuckles a bit. Kairi, huh? So this is the object of Xanth's shy affections.]

Alright, great! I'll come up to you, then. My name is Gideon.

[lightwithin]

[Kairi doesn't really know what's funny but she's got no room to talk about laughter for its own sake. She's smiling.]

It's nice to meet you, or - heh - it will be.

On my way.

[Gideon pockets his com and then heads on up to the Coffee Shop. He pokes his head in, looking around for her.]

Yo, Kairi. It's Gideon! Hopefully I didn't keep you waiting.

[Don't mind Kairi, she's just investigating the shiny machines. She only jumps a little at Gideon's voice, and she covers it quickly, turning and smiling to greet him.]

Hello. Nice hair.

[That was definitely not what she had meant to say.]

Heh, no, you didn't. I was trying to tell if there was a juicer here. But none of these look like the machines back home.

[She half-shrugs and heads for the fridge instead.]

Do you like ice-cream and milk?

[Gideon just smiles at the hair remark.]

Thanks. You like it? I think it's a pretty darn nice dye job, if I do say so myself.

[He nods at her next question.]

Yeah, definitely. Both are great.

[lightwithin]

Dye...? You mean it doesn't grow like that?

Oh! Great.

[Kairi grabs the extra orange and pours it into a glass.]

This has orange, lemon, milk and ice cream. Try it? Xanth said it was okay but, heh, I'm not sure. If it's not I can mix up another. I think those things might taste nice with oranges.

[She offers the glass to Gideon and gestures vaguely to a bunch of raspberries in a small bowl.]

Nope. I'm naturally a dirty blond. I had to put dye in my hair to get it to look like this.

[Gideon eagerly accepts the drink and takes a big gulp. Then he grins.]

Nope! This is delicious. Thank you so much. So how'd you learn to make smoothies? You teach yourself?

[Commentlog]

[lightwithin]

Heh. So it's not spiky like that either?

[Kairi looks half-sheepish, half-curious; what do you mean, bright-coloured gravity-defying hair isn't natural? Everyone has it where she's from.]

Oh, I come from an island. There was always lots of fruit. My parents used to make smoothies and I watched. It's not hard. You just throw things in a blender and see if they taste good. Heh, sometimes they don't, but there's always next time.
