"I'm so glad that you were able to take time out of your busy schedule to have tea with me," Iris gave Ibuki a smile, "Say, how about we have tea and biscuits with Klaus?"

"Alright," The blonde farmer gave her a nod. It's been a while since he saw Klaus. Almost a full season! The perfumer was one of Ibuki's best friends, but he had gotten so busy with his farm work and new farm animals. It used to take about two hours, but not it was around four or five. Not to mention all the fishing that Ibuki does.

"I think he may be home today," Iris looked in her purse for the key to her house, "I think Mistel is with Agate. I swear he spends so much time at her place. Have you noticed them around each other?"

Ibuki shook his head, "Not that I know of. I don't really focus on Agate too much."

"That's a shame. She's a very cute girl. And it would be great material for my novels if you got with her. The farmer and animal ranger. It'd be a match made in Heaven."

"Are you still trying to hook us up?"

"Maybe." She chuckled lightly as they made their way to Klaus's place. When she knocked on the door, Ibuki noticed that Mistel and Agate were walking together. Were they going to the restaurant? Klaus's deep voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey Ibuki. Iris. What are you two doing here? I'm in the middle of work."

"Well we wanted to see if you'd like to have tea with us. But I guess not," she huffed, "Come on Ibuki. Let's go back to your place."

"I never said that you two have to go," Klaus held his hand out, "Come on in guys."

"Thank you," Ibuki followed Iris and Klaus into his house. He went to the stove to cook the tea. It took a while, and he waited for it to boil with his arms crossed. As he waited, Klaus and Iris' voices can be heard from the table.

"So I heard that you sold another novel. Are my sources correct?"

"Indeed. It's sure to become a best seller. That wasn't my work, but I think I've done good this time. It was one of those love at first sight stories. I swear that my readers love that kind of thing. It's actually quite cute. I almost wish that I have a love like that."

"You'll find someone that you love. I know I have," Klaus started to slightly blush.

"Oh, who is it? Lillie? Angela? Licorice?"

"I'm not saying."

"Is it me?" Iris's giggle rang throughout the room. Ibuki almost froze at her words. His heart almost jumped out of jealousy. He wanted to drag the older woman out, but was saved by time.

"The tea is done," Ibuki took the teapot and poured the three of them tea. Klaus and Iris were sitting across the table, still in the middle of their conversation. They looked up as Ibuki sat down.

"Thank you Ibuki," Klaus smiled warmly at the farmer, making his face heat up.

"You're welcome," Ibuki glanced up at the clock on Klaus's counter, "Oh, I have to go." He chugged down his tea and raced out the door. Klaus and Iris watched the door before letting out a small chuckle.
