#[ VERSE UNDETERMINED. ]

Honey doesn't have to see the muscle to feel it's presence– this girl has it in spades, to the confectioner's obvious delight and impress. Built different, indeed, but perhaps not all that different from present company. The proprietor applauds her guest with dainty fanfare, before mirroring the same gesture– her own hands clasped thoughtfully to one side, skimming the storefront with fresh eyes as she contemplated what goodies to gather first; beaming all the while at Sakuya's sudden sidebar.

❝ Of course! Manjū, daifuku– they're not exactly like the stuff I'd make back home, but they're awful close, and I was always SO inspired by all the different pretty wagashi treats; peach castella are, like, my favorite to make, since they're so cute! ❞ She moves over and points at the special little syrup cake to elaborate her point, before jaunting over to grab a couple of the pastries in question: a classic mizu manju, and an orange-cream filled one as well; a tiny plate, to present them on, appearing in her hand with the tiniest flourish of magic ( because going and grabbing one was too much of a diversion, I suppose ).

❝ Not everything that's tasty is quite so pretty to look at, but I've always tried to bring the best of both worlds where I can. And if you're ever looking to dress up a table with a pretty arrangement, there's always lots of pretty edible flowers to candy, or I do custom sugar sculptures, as well!... I guess it all depends on what kinda venue you're imagining. Are you planning an event, or...? ❞

“Gosh it’s like my eyes don’t know where to stop! A storefront like this can make a girl pretty darn dizzy.” Some folks back home would absolutely go gaga over it all. Chef Blaise would likely have some things to say about the cakes. And goes without the yabbering that Rusk would pound a few pastries. Sakuya’s sweet tooth isn’t quite so domineering by comparison. Sometimes overwhelming. Other times prohibitive. Girl things. “Good thing I’m built different.”

A small confident flex follows her statement, any show of ‘muscle’ masked by the generous sleeve of her foreign garb. Shawl finds its way back into place once she clasps her hands together, smiling ever more brazenly.

“Heck yeah! I’d love to get some samples; don’t doubt it’s all got the boppin’ broad appeals though. You could decorate a table real nice with some of these. And then there’s- Oh!” Sakuya finds herself distracted mid-thought, familiar sights catching her attention as a basket finds its way into her peripheral. “You make manjū too?! Oh my gosh I haven’t seen sweets like this in forever… talk about bringin’ on the nostalgia to top this all off!”

@perpetualxfire sent: "Soooooooo, I've got some, news for you, once you're, settled with breakfast." Carolina was quick to plop down at the nearest seat, in sweats and a tank top herself, having dragged enough sand in with her to build a sandcastle judging by the soles of her bare feet.

"Is it that I have to sweep again?"

It was meant to be a joke, though he says it so flatly that Wash felt the need to give her a small smile just to be sure she knew he meant it as such. He picks at his eggs some more, feeling he might have overcooked them (at least to his liking). Chances were high he'd be settled with breakfast sooner rather than later.

All the better, he supposed. It would be a lie to say he wasn't vastly interested in whatever Carolina wanted to tell him. "What have you been doing all morning?"

"Awww come on, you're the only person I know here- you gotta let me stay with you till I can find my villain. Sides you can better keep an eye on me that way~!" Des would do a fake sexy pose.

Tsunade frowned at the kid; he had popped up at the village gates earlier today, saying he was looking for some villain. He didn't have a place to stay, but she sure as hell not going to stay with her. Especially since she didn't even know this kid.

"You can stay in the jounin dorm, like I originally told you..."

It is too familiar. It's more familiar than anything he's seen before, in all of his centuries. It's something that haunts him, waking life and dreams alike, on those rare occasions that he sleeps. He doesn't like to show fear, but he feels it, feels the beating of his hearts increase as he steps back, as he reaches for his sonic, as though it can protect him. "When will you learn," he asks, "that there will be no extermination?"

Matthew was certain that Robert Crawley was not going to be happy.

Maybe he could get away with insisting on the fact that the man was of his--their--same class, that him having a job certainly didn't take away from that. Maybe he could do that, and maybe it would work, but even if it did, he did not imagine he would take too kindly to the fact that Matthew had invited a man to stay at his home without telling him. It may one day be his home, and not Robert's, but, well, it wasn't yet, was it?

But that was perfectly fine. He would take his heat, because he had been asked for a favor, to give board to a nephew, and Matthew would never deny a request, not if it was within his power to help.

So, as he heard the car approach, he went outside to meet it, smiling as he did, as the man exited the vehicle. "You must be Mycroft," he greeted pleasantly. "Welcome."

Ariel is unsure what to make of the land of Agrabah. There was so much heat and sand, it left the mermaid uncomfortable, even in this palace visiting Jasmine. Unlike herself, her friend takes her royal duties seriously. The redhead waits outside the door while Jasmine is in a meeting, feeling incredibly bored. A few minutes later, her brown eyes sees a bird flying down the hall. It had colorful red and indigo wings. Ariel stood up and tries to follow it.

@eris-the-phantom-thief from here!

Clara giggled as she held the tool in hand.

"What is it though!? What is itttt!?"

How could she NOT want to know what it was!? It looked cool, Hana was working on it, and when Hana was working on something that meant that it was probably something really cool!

⤷ ✧ @cptnpike said, ❝ you really think I would try that? again? ❞

the better question in this moment, una thinks, is does he really need to ask? her lips part to offer a reminder that his record indicates that, yes, he would try precisely such a thing, but he stays that argument by adding that one, last, wry word. ❛ considering that you have to specify 'again'... ❜ as she often does, una lets the end of her sentence remain mere implication: having considered it a reasonable plan once, he had forfeited any right to indignation.

❛ I do not trust that you did, in fact, learn your lesson the last time. or that you would not decide to test whether I might, assuming you would not attempt something so ridiculous again, let my guard down. ❜ the latter possibility comes accompanied by the slightest mock-suspicious narrowing of her eyes.

Kamiizumi gently embraced Sothis.

"Hello." He murmured softly, before giving her a kiss.

[goldenxglyphs]

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't-- I just... I keep messing things up, I'll go."

[countarganan]

@eternallyserpentinebutterfly liked for a starter!

"Elise?" Arganan had been searching for her, and soon found her after some effort. A sigh left him after, before he made his way towards her, the familiar sound of his cane sometimes echoing as it hit the ground.

"There you are. I've been looking all over for you..."

@firejugglinghobo said: ' how do you know my name? '

↣ VARIOUS QUESTIONS

"It's my job."

He doesn't mean to be flippant, but that's the truth. It is his job. Knowing things, understanding them, that's what he does. Knowing someone's name is the least of them. He could get more specific, if the man wanted him to, but that's a long line of questioning and searching that was far less interesting in practice than it was in idea.

"Does that bother you?"

Ariel is aware that Poseidon had many children. But she rarely means any that share the same blood as her father and sisters. Ever since she murdered Ursula, the princess is wary of anyone connected to her grandfather. To see if someone else wants to dethrone her father the rightful King of Atlantica. The mermaid remained calm, but looks over her shoulder as she sees a young man behind her.
