#ffxiv Scherìs the Gloriously Caffeinated Au ra

[qarukhel]

The Hidden Cup

Scherìs was laying on the bed on her stomach, reading a book.  Her legs were swinging back and forth in counterpoint to her tail’s movements.  Meanwhile, River was in the bathroom getting ready for work.  Once she was dressed, she came out and sat on the bed next to Scherìs.

River reached out and began stroking the Au ra’s back, which caused Scherìs to shiver and purr softly.  She looked up from her book and over her shoulder, “Aww... You’re leaving for work...”

Nodding, River replied “I am... I won’t be gone too long today.  It’s a short day.  We can do a late lunch when I get back?”  Scherìs smiled and nodded, “Yup!”  They kissed and River stood to leave, but not before stroking her girlfriend’s back one last time.

Scherìs went back to looking at her book, but not reading it.  Instead, she was more interested in listening for the door.  When she heard the door close, she counted to 100.  She stood up, picked up her robe off a chair near the bed and put it on as she headed to the kitchen.

Looking out the window over the sink, she could see River heading away from the apartment building.  Giggling, she went into one of the lower cabinets and began fishing around inside.

Pulling out a box, she sat it on the counter.  She squatted back down and pulled out an unmarked bag.  Opening the box, there was a piece of paper folded up on top.  She pulled it out and looked into the box.  Inside was a device made of glass and steel.  She “oooohed” as she unfolded the piece of paper and began to read.

Congratulations on your purchase of the finest Ishgardian Press in all of Eorzea!  This device makes the best cup of coffee and is enjoyed by coffee connoisseurs the world over!
