Can Chii ask Tamaki a question?

[Video]

[spectaculaire]

Chii-chan! What is it?

[Video]

[clueless-com.livejournal.com]

Does Tamaki know a person named "Mille Feuille"?

[Video]

[spectaculaire]

Aaaah, Mille-san! It's been quite some time since I last talked to him, but yes.

Does Tamaki know what they might like to get for Christmas? They are Chii's Secret Santa person.

Oooh he is? Hm...

[thinks]

Some nice clothing would be good....oooh or a hand mirror!

[poet-of-piano.livejournal.com]

It certainly sounds intriguing, though I have to ask, if it isn't too rude of me to do so... What is a 'Host Club'?

[spectaculaire]

Sir Chopin! What an honor to speak with you again.

[just smiles with his usual charming and gentleman flair]

The Host Club is where we hosts entertain and serve our clients. It's a large social gathering where the clients can relax and be themselves. Hosts are comprised of handsome, young, and charming gentleman whose goal is to bring out the smile of every young maiden and fulfill those innocent dreams of her heart.

However, we also have hostesses who serve male clients as well.

[Chopin looks mutedly shocked, not realizing just how many people he had met before.

Of course, he also was shocked at the rather scandalous sounding nature of the club... However, the boy has used the word 'innocent' while describing it, and it sounded anything but innocent.]

I'm sorry, I can't seem to remember your name... [It felt so rude to have to keep saying that. He looks somewhat skeptical, but he has to ask.] What sort of 'innocent' things do these 'Hosts' actually do?

[spectaculaire]

Ah—[realizing the situation—both in face—he is quick to reply] My apologies. We met some time ago, though it's only natural you might not remember me. I am Suoh Tamaki, though you are more than welcome to call me just Tamaki.

As to the things we do...please do not be mistaken. [inward sigh.] I can assure you were are nothing like certain other institutions. By activities and entertainment, we merely talk and socialize with our guests. Sometimes we also entertain them with simple activities such as dressing up with a certain cultural theme or everyday fun games. We simply charm them in a social manner, nothing....ah...invasive to to speak. [cough.]

[poet-of-piano.livejournal.com]

There's no need to apologize. I have no idea how, but all of my memories from the last time I lived in this world are gone, or at least, that's I've been told. Also, you may call me Frederic, if you wish. While your formality is appreciated, you don't have to call me by my last name.

Ah, I see. Is it something like a Salon, then?. [He smiled slightly, trying to hide his sigh of relief. The conversation definitely would have been awkward if the club was actually what he had guessed. The vast majority of his performances were for small Salons, which were very similar to what Tamaki was describing, because it was a gathering where a host would entertain and inspire their guests.]

[spectaculaire]

Yes, that is a common occurrence. But it is good to see you Cho—ah, I mean Frederic-san. [well it was still awkward.]

—Yes! Exactly!

[poet-of-piano.livejournal.com]

Hmm... The majority of my performances were for salons. Perhaps, if you would like, I could lend my services to your 'Host Club' as well.

[It wasn't something he wished to admit, but he had begun to feel a bit lonesome, after being pulled out of two worlds that he had already come to know. Though he preferred teaching over performing, but since he had become ill, it had been so long since he had been able to play his music in a social setting, aside from the ball in Baroque.]

[spectaculaire]

—You would!? Oh but I couldn't impose someone as great as you like that!!

[poet-of-piano.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I'm not---

[How was one supposed to respond to being called great, while maintaining modesty?!]

Ah... [Probably not addressing it was better.] It wouldn't be imposing at all. In fact, I would enjoy it. [He hoped.]

[spectaculaire]

Well, if...if you really would like to then...[THIS IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE.] I accept your offer!
