"Yeah, I don't know." she says, bustling around in the kitchen. She pours herself and Ignis a lemonade. Ignis could find a seat on either of the chairs or the couch, if he moves some papers out of the way. "I tried selling to my boss, but he laughed at me."

"That's because he's used to bossin' you around." He took a deep drink of the lemonade, and blinked. "Wow, this is nice and sour. You got to sell it to someone who doesn't know you, so they can take it at face value an' all that."

The girl smiles and takes a sip of her lemonade. She makes a face at it, and then she smiles again. She nods a few times. "Yes, yes I guess I should try that."

Ignis laughs and nods his head. "That you should, lass!
HEY!" Ignis hops up, with a large grin on his face, and pretends to sway around in a drunken stupor.
"Fog in the day
Singing it away
Sun doesn't burn it
People don't care about it
Got your drinkers here
Your spinsters there
But hey, the sun ran where?
Bright and shiny
We don't know
Where's that thing?
No, don't go!
...damn, it went..." He paused to take a drink, then cleared his throat.
"I'll tell you where
It went there!" He points to the lighthouse.
"Yes there!
Guides the ships like a good sun does
Foggy hands grabbed it just cuz
Sun is fine with it
Got a dinner every night out of it
Poor moon is just crying over it."
Ignis grins and jumps back into his seat. "Hey, what do you got to lose? If they don't like it, you come back with something better."

The girl is laughing and claps the rhythm along.
"That was funny. Are you a sailor? Yes, you're right."

Ignis takes another drink, emptying the glass, and nods. "Yep. How'd you guess?"

She smiles. "I'm part-time psychic."

Ignis laughs, pushing the glass away and setting his hands on the table, looking across it and into her eyes if she meets his gaze. "Well, that sounds like fun. Can you tell me what I'm thinking of right now?"

She meets his gaze really briefly, but then she looks away, blushing a little again.
"... the sea?"

Ignis grins and nods. "Good job! Actually, I was thinking of you. Thing is, the sea is always on my mind. Might be because so much of it leaked in through my ears on that last dive."

The girl laughs, but seems very embarrassed at the same time. She takes a quick swallow of lemonade, and ends up coughing a lot and hiccuping once. "You don't even know my name." she eventually stammers nervously.

Ignis smiles and places his hands on the table, then rests his chin on the backs of his hands. "I'd like to."

"Oh." she smiles a little. "Mauri Chandler." She holds out her hand to him across the table.

"Now that's a pretty name!" Ignis exclaimed with a wild grin as he took her hand and held it in both of his. "I'm Ignis."

Mauri blushes quite brightly now. "Ignis? That's an interesting name. After your hair?"
