[ So pick him up he does. Estinien doesn't message Hythlodaeus back until he is outside. He doesn't bother to dismount, merely hands him the spare helmet once he arrives (well, the only helmet as even if Estinien saw use for them, his horns now ensure the option is forever removed), and once Hythlodaeus is sitting comfortably behind Estinien, he takes off and heads into town.

Estinien's driving, as ever, is a harrowing experience. If Panorama was ever possessed of traffic laws he would surely have broken all of them on the drive into town, but by now Estinien's handling of the bike is second to none. Seemingly reckless, but fully controlled. Which, he supposes, describes him very succinctly as well.

And the place he pulls up outside of is a quaint shop on the corner, one with a bell above the door and a saccharine interior decor. Estinien leads Hythlodaeus inside and the women working behind the counter immediately perk up and wave at him. Estinien sighs. ]

Lady Elodie. Lady Camille.

[ Ser Estinien they say as one, and then dissolve into giggles. Estinien sighs again. To Hythlodaeus he says: ]

Despite all appearances, the hot chocolate here is very good. They also have a large display of deserts at the other end.

[ The hot chocolate here is made by melting various different chocolate bars into milk so Hythlodaeus can have nearly any flavour of hot chocolate he wants. To Lady Elodie behind the counter he says: ]

I would like a green tea and caramel white chocolate hot chocolate.

[ Hythlodaeus wears an amused half smirk as he greets the other man, and continues to wear it as he puts the helmet on and gets behind him. Its not the first time he's ridden with Estinien, since he did get him back to the city on their first meeting. Which is probably why when he grips Estinien's waist a little tighter as they make a sharp turn its not really because he thinks he's going to fall off.

He can't keep the amused smile off his face as the ladies behind the counter greet Estinien. Clearly he comes here often, and its sweet. He looks at the hand written menu behind the counter with his head tilted to the side. He isn't hasn't had this many choices for hot chocolate before and they all sound delicious.]

Do you have anything you recommend, Ser Estinien?

[ Sorry, Estinien did you know he was a little shit? ]

[ Estinien sighs again. Ignores the strange residue of memory that tells him he should have expected this from Hythlodaeus in favour of answering the question. He has made his way through a decent portion of the menu already, and so far the answer to Hythlodaeus' question is quite literally 'everything'. In the interests of being helpful, however, he offers: ]

The banoffee hot chocolate is very good.

[ And something tells him this is something Hythlodaeus would enjoy. ]

[soul_sight]

Banoffee?

[ He’s never heard of it but it sounds interesting and he’s going to trust Estinien. He turns to the woman behind the counter and flashes her a smile. ]

I will also have a green tea and the banoffee hot chocolate. And then whatever pastry you recommend.

[ He turns back to Estinien after she nods and sets about making their order. ]

This place is nice, I hadn’t run across it in my travels around the city.
