[There is an absolutely delicious smell coming from the kitchen. It smells like the perfect sort of treat after that long training session or whatever you Abyss children do, and there is a girl with familiar gold hair and a big smile bending down to take something delicious out of the oven. Sweet smells waft through the air as she uses her baking gloves to set it on the table.

She sure looks like Natalia, doesn't she? But then that delicious smelling pie on the table also looks decieving too. Natalia x Delicious = FAIL OTP, right? She seems to notice you, and her face brightens, wiping her cheek only to leave a smudge of white flour. ..]

Hey! Come on in! It's right out of the oven! [she doesn't seem to realize she's left wherever she was before arriving here, dusting her hands off of her clothes, she looks around]

Where'd I leave the knives? [the haughty look on her face as she places her hands on her hips is familiar too.] Well, you want a slice, right? Help me out!

[ It takes a minute of looking through the cabinets for Luke to find the plates and wander up alongside her with a puzzled look. Something is odd here, but he's not quite sure what. ]

I didn't think you spent much time in the kitchen.

[lionsdaughter.livejournal.com]

You're joking right? I'd think I'd be famous by now at least in Baticul for our bakery, but I guess not.


Hey, you look sorta familiar..

[prismshards]

Huh?

[ Sorry, not!Nat, he's going to take a step backwards, face now filled with concern. ]

I... I should? It's me, Luke.

[lionsdaughter.livejournal.com]

. . Luke? The only Luke I know is the heir to the throne of Kimlasca, and there's not a big chance of he and I running into each other. He has a little brother that looks a lot like you though..

Don't know you, I'm sorry.

[prismshards]

Brothers...? [ If he's the younger brother, then that would mean-- Her apology draws his attention away from the idea of him and Asch being siblings, and he sheepishly scratches at the back of his head. ]

No, it's okay! It was my mistake. You look just like one of my friends.

I'm sorry I'm not her then, does she usually hang around this side of town ?

I'm Meryl. Meryl Oakland. Nice to meet you.

[prismshards]

No need to apologize. And to tell you the truth, I'm not even sure what side of town we're on...

[ Luke takes her hand, though his grip tightens when she introduces herself. ] Meryl Oakland? But that's-- You're-- [ Right now he's almost hoping that tightness in his chest is from fonon separation. ]

Wow, we both seem to have a bad sense of direction then. But luckily I know this part of Baticul like the back of my hand. Or kitchen, I guess. I'm rarely away from it.

Huh? Are you alright? You got pale all of a sudden..I really should have washed my hands before I introduced myself, it's probably just floating around here, haha..

[prismshards]

I..I'm okay, really. It's not the flour, just that your name... It sounds familiar. [ He really wants to ask about her parents, but if something had happened to them like in his Auldrant, he didn't want to dredge up bad memories. Plus it might be suspicious for him to know about her father, right? ]

You said you work at a popular bakery? That must be why I recognized it! Are you sure you don't mind sharing your pie? I can pay... [ Hopefully his ability to shift topics is better than his lying. :x ]

Yeah, it's called Sylvia's, after my mom.
Don't worry about it, its your first time here, right? You can have one for free!

Well, tell me what you think! This is my Dad's favorite!

Sorry for the late reply! ;;

[prismshards]

I can see why it's named that. Sylvia is a pretty name. --Meryl is too, though!

Well, if it's on the house then who am I to say no? Thanks a bunch! [ She'll have to excuse him for salivating a bit. It's been days since he'd had any real food and the smell alone is almost enough to sate him. Almost. So once the first forkful of pie is in his mouth, Luke freezes. It's...

It's... ]

Delicious...! You really made this all by yourself?

me too!!! since this is like..late you no? *^*;

[lionsdaughter.livejournal.com]

Hahah, you're a nice guy, you know that?

Told you! Didn't think I was being serious huh? My pies are the best.

And with this crazy weather, the internet is being mean. x__x;;

[prismshards]

Heh, thanks. Your cooking really is great! Not that I doubted your ability to cook, but... ah, my cousin's baking leaves a lot to be desired. I can still taste the fish....

agreed :(

[lionsdaughter.livejournal.com]

Your cousin?
