Chas and Lust have always been together, since they were babies. While Chas has always been the 'good son' and Lust the troublemaker, they really do adore each other and get very upset when they aren't able to be close. Because of what they are, they are naturally drawn to each other- sometimes obsessively, though over time Chas has managed to gently turn Lust's attention to other things. As a result, Chas places a painfully high price on sex, and avoids it if at all possible- and it ALWAYS is possible. Both of them love their parents very much, though they barely even managed an introduction to Naphtali before he died. (technically this makes one of them the Prince of the East, but SHHH they don't really know that.)

Once they had been reunited on this continent, the two brothers were very determined to stay together. Lust was already in posession of a 'clock shop' acting as a front for his illegal weapons operation; Chas bought the building next door and turned it into a tea and coffee house. The two buildings have been connected, and now the brothers live in the upstairs apartment.

The destruction of everything he held dear changed Chas quite a bit. Before, he was a goody-two-shoes who would not hear of anyhting disreputable or morally wrong, which often put him at odds with his brother; now, however, he has discovered that there are things more important than his lofty ideals.

Infusion

A tea shoppe for those of a more refined taste.

Welcome to Infusion. Inside these warm, oak-panelled walls rests a quiet haven of peace for those who prefer easy conversation to noise and loud music. The sound of windchimes floats easily through the open windows, joined by soft classical music, usually piano. Several cozy sitting areas provide a restful place to get away from any stress one might be surviving. A small hallway connects to the clock shop next door, bringing the relaxing sounds of clock chimes to complement the music.

The owner of this establishment is almost always at his broad oak bar, discussing literature and other strange things with his customers. If he goes quiet as you approach, pay it no mind- he is courteous, but not the most trusting of souls.

It was this kind of heat that made Choco'la regret having several layers of clothing to his outfit. Having set out on another day of 'exploring', in order to relieve his boredom, he'd changed his mind as the sun rose further and the temperature rose. Like he hadn't been lethargic enough lately - manifesting wings seemed to eat up all his energy.

Spying a rather cute-looking tea shop as he walked, Choco decided it was time for a break. And a sugar hit.

He entered and looked around. "What a nice atmosphere," he said to himself, taking in the soft music and windchimes. Although he loved his technology, Choco was a huge fan of relaxing after stressful days. And this kind of gentle, refined ambiance was the kind of thing some of his clients liked for smaller gatherings. Hmm, this was something to keep in mind then.

Choco didn't often have the time for places like these and was a bit confused as to the procedure of such places. Did he take a seat, or order at the bar... which was missing a host. Blinking, feeling a bit lost, he approached the closest person - a light-haired male reading a book on a sofa.

"Um, hello," he smiled tentatively. "Do you know how I'd order something?" And hopefully get a menu, too. There had to be something sweet available here.

Choco relaxed as the man spoke. The horn had made him a little wary, but it seemed like this person - the owner - was actually very nice and polite.

"Oh, thank you," Choco beamed as he accepted the menu. "Uh, I really don't know that much about teas," he admitted with a blush. "Can you recommend something for someone with a sweet tooth?"

The only tea he ever really drank, on occasion, was green tea. But that was more in formal situations and with his master.

"I'm not one for coffee, either." Chocolate was more his style if he needed caffeine hit, but sugar normally sufficed. "But the pastries sound nice," he added.

Choco's entire demeanour lit up at the mention of teacakes. Sugar hit, yay! "Tea cakes sound wonderful," he enthused.

With a bounce in his step, he followed Chas to the bar and watched him work. It looked complex, adding herbs and things manually. How very intriguing - so very different from the vending machines Choco's work demands caused him to use most of the time.

Offering Choco'la a tray of cakes was like asking him to pick a favourite style of music. There were just so many. "Ummm... they all look so good," he said as he studied the arrangement. His bottom lip substituted for cake as he ummed and aahed, nibbling away as he thought. "Strawberry?" he eventually said, not sure he was making the right decision. He'd always loved berry flavours, though.

"Did you make them yourself?" he asked, wondering what it must be like to have the time to try things like that. "Oh, I'm so rude," Choco blushed, hand flying to his mouth. "I'm Choco'la. It's nice to meet you." He gave a quick half-bow. Manners were always important in Choco's business, especially on first meetings.

With a quick nod, Choco carried his plate and tea over to the sofa Chas had indicated. "I'd love to," he answered. "It's rare that I get to meet new people - well, outside of work anyway -" and that got a small grimace since the people he met there were mostly primadonnas or short-tempered perfectionists, "- especially not ones so charming and polite."

Taking a seat, Choco began to nibble on the strawberry cake. After the first bite, he paused and flashed Chas a smile that lit up his being. "This is wonderful! You're very talented."

Reaching for the tea cup, green eyes glazed over slightly as Choco picked it up. 'Not sweet enough, he decided, a ghostly echo of the tea's flavour in his mouth. Saking his head slightly, Choco dismissed the vision and a small satchel of sugar was quickly added. Giving a slightly embarrased chuckle, Choco explained, "I kinda need a sugar hit. One part addiction, one part lack of energy."

"Really?" Blinking repeatedly, Choco appeared momentarily stunned. A slow smile appeared on his face - not as energetic as the ones before, but somehow infinitely more pleased. "You've heard of me? And your brother, too?"

It was his dream to become well-known, to create an event that everyone would remember (both the event and the name of Choco'la). Sometimes he wasn't sure just how far his reputation was spreading, if it was only among the select crowd that threw ad attended such events.

"Sorry," Choco apologised, realising he was most likely coming off like a kid at a party. "You must think I'm pretty young, but," he turned earnest eyes on Chas, "it just really makes me happy to think that I can create things that make people so happy. It's important, you know? People should be happy more often."

Which was probably also a childish sentiment, but there was nothing to help that now.

"I don't mind crowds so much, but I'm not as social as everything seems to think I am," he admitted, stirring his tea before sipping at the steaming liquid. "It's all get up early, work, go home late, sleep, repeat cycle... I don't have time to go out, or meet people, not really." Except for now. Stupid Kiryn.
