CLOSED STARTER FOR @serendipitcs ft. Robin location ; Bijan's apartment / 16th of March

Bijan opened the door to let Robin in with a huge smile on his face. He was once again, as he did every year, ignoring his introvert tendencies in favour of sharing food and kindness after the sun was under. Iftar simply wasn't the same if there wasn't at least another human being around. He'd tried with a cat a few days, but he found that he would go on tangents.

"Welcome, welcome, I do appreciate you showing up, I have plenty of food to share, so I hope you're hungry."

Bijan smiled kindly. He was dressed in his kurta pajama, of a light beige colour that was a loose fit and warm enough in the colour New York weather. He'd been taught to dress for comfort. "Of course, I do enjoy to celebrate this with friends rather than strangers, or by myself." Strangers were not that bad, by himself however.

"I'm not all that familiar with buffet hour, but yes, this is where you take as much as you'd like to eat, I'd suggest sampling everything at the very least," he explained. "And do not worry, if I see you breaking any house rules, I'll let you know, though on the spot, I don't think I can think of any."

"So, come in, have a seat, I have a lot of Persian dishes, but also some that I found at the local supermarket and a few that neighbours gave to me. Would you like some tea?"

robin wasn't sure if she had overdressed. or under. already awake early due to a later shift at the diner, she came in her tracksuit straight from the late 2000s & had no regrets about it. already returning the smile before she even saw it on bijan's face, that stutter of nerves of oh, god, i hope i do this right — before she walked in. "i am so happy you even wanted to break fast with me."

& it was true. the invitation had startled her in the best way. "is this just one of those things like the buffet hour at the diner? we take as much as we want?" a nervous fidget of her fingers. "ooh, professor, i do not wanna break any rules in your house."
