Pandora could feel his eyes on her but she didn't mind, he had such vibrant blues that she enjoyed seeing. She realized her fears might have been unfounded and it helped her to just relax but she also felt a smidge guilty for instantly judging someone based on their last name.
When he called her lovely though, she would turn a little pink as her head bowed down a little and caused some of her curly hair to bump into her face.
She didn't have words yet and she would lift her cup to her lips again and take a small sip, "Another favorite but it isn't an herb but a fruit, is lemons. The skin has a natural oil in it that when harvested can be used for a variety of things but also to clean the skin mostly. I've learned how to pull those oils and mix it into a water to help clean hands from most tasks," she told him, now rambling a little bit. She was feeling oddly a little flustered so now he was going to be subjected to listening to her talk about random plants and fruits it seemed.

In the ladies defense she wasn't the only one guilty of judging others based solely on their surname. That was the nature of their society though was it not? Your family name held more power than any sword or magic. Though he did like how much relaxed she seemed to be now than a few moments ago. It was nice to see her in her own element so to speak. The blush that crossed her face didn't go unnoticed but he wouldn't say anything about it. Certainly wouldn't say how precious she looked with her face all pink.
When she started talking about lemons he listened just as closely to it as he had the flower she'd talked about. "That's fascinating actually." He stated before taking a sip of his tea. As far as he was aware lemons were just a sour fruit. He didn't particularly like the taste of the much himself but it was nice to hear they had other properties. Perhaps it was only more fascinating by how flustered she seemed. Though it was interesting to learn about different plants and fruits in all honesty no matter what. He was simply more inclined to listen at the moment.
"What would you say is your least favorite plant?" Flower, herb, or fruit didn't really matter. Perhaps he just wanted to listen to her talk more. Rambling or not. Though he hadn't spent this much time alone with...well most anyone outside of work or family. Most people didn't relax around him at all which he was fine with. It also posed the issue of not socializing much though. Not that he was a very social man to begin with. It was nice though, talking with Pandora. Even if she was doing most the talking. He hoped she didn't mind much. Xavier just never spoke much as it was.

Pandora couldn't help how much she was talking, he was bringing it out in her like Raize often did and he as well was not judging her for her chattiness. It was a sweet quality and she wanted to keep him around more so that she could continue to talk. She might have to read on more things so that she'd never not have something to talk about with him.
"Oh my least favorite is stinging nettle. It is useful yes but if the oils find a little spot through my gloves then it feels like my hands are on fire and just...I dislike that plant so much but it is great for fighting fevers so I still keep it around," she told him with a little chuckle, her hands rubbing together a bit in the memory of it. "Once I accidentally got it on my cheek and oh my face was in so much pain for several hours until I was able to finish making the remedy to help remove it from my skin," she told him with a bit of a wince at that one.
"What is something you like the least?" she inquired curiously of him. She wanted to know as much about him as he wanted to know about her.

Stinging Nettle. Had he heard of that plant before? Probably, though he didn't retain the memory of it well enough obviously. He hadn't been aware of any kind of burning sensation caused by oils from it. "A plant that fights fevers but causing a burning sensation. That's odd." He might have laughed at the idea but instead the corners of his lips simply twitched a bit almost into a smile. "What is the remedy for it?" When asked one of his least favorite things Xavier had to think a moment. The first thing to come to mind was Mystics but that was hardly a polite topic of conversation with a lady. What was one of his least favorite things? It was something he would know right away if he saw it but being asked about it was an entirely different beast.
"There was a perfume my father got my sister during one new moon. I'm not sure the name of it but it smelled awful." His nose wrinkled just at the thought of it. Though he hardly ever paid attention to whatever perfume his sister wore it was simply terrible and she of course wore it until she got the new one. Xavier swore she wore it just to irritate him when she found out his distaste for it. He wouldn't put it past her. "It was some fruity, sickly sweet smell that lingered far too long." He wasn't really used to talking about himself. Talking about the work he did or his father, certainly. But never personal questions about himself.
"I'm not a fan of coyotes either. Pesky little creatures." They had a tendency to get in his way especially while chasing after a rogue mystics.

Pandora would give a little chuckle as she nodded while taking a sip from her cup, “It is but even some dangerous plants can offer some great benefits to a person so long as they are harvested properly. I’ll take a thousand stings from a nettle if it will help someone,” she told him with a little smile, “Oh, cool water being patted on the skin or aloe gel being smeared over the affected area to let it cool and then dabbing it away,” she told him as she thought for another moment, “Goats milk will help as well but you’d need to soak the spot for some time,” she told him as well as she went through her mental banks of information.
Her lips would purse together as she tried to not laugh, oh my that sounded like a mischievous sister! A little laugh slipped out as he described it, her head nodding, “That sounds all too sweet for my tastes,” she told him with a little chuckle before pressing her fingers to her lips as she took a small breath to calm herself from giggling too much.
“They are but really, aren’t they more scared of us than we are of them? Or is that wrong?” she asked, a curious look on her face as she mused that out loud.
