Perhaps a favorite meal or...

[And now a more playful grin to help break up the more somber atmosphere.]

A cake?

[garudas]

[She was thinking a favourite meal, or buying him nice things, but when he drops that—]

Cidolfus!

[It certainly works in breaking up the somber mood because she's smacking him weakly on the arm, and then his chest, and then his cheek...]

What did I tell you about that godforsaken cake!

[... before she starts attacking him with kisses.]

[ramuhs]

[He just laughs at that, more of that tense air fading as hugs her close as his lips move to find hers.]

And I'm still waiting for it!

[garudas]

[She kisses him, grinning against his lips before she continues to sprinkle them all across his nose.]

Well, if you keep asking for it, then won't it ruin the surprise?

[ramuhs]

No, because I still wouldn't know the exact day.

[He just continues to chuckle as her kisses are like feathers against his skin.]

And if I did know, that just means I can anticipate it even more.

[garudas]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Well, how many other "special occasions" are left for me to use, hm?

[ramuhs]

We still have our first date anniversary, don't we?

[A low rumble as he catches and nibbles her lower lip.]

And I'd wager we could have our own celebration for this hard earned victory....

[garudas]

Not exactly the sort of celebration I had in mind for this victory...

[She purrs over his lips before pulling back far enough to escape him, pausing as if in serious thought.]

But I suppose we could find a cake once we return to the Roost and have rested well.

[ramuhs]

What? But I want yours.

[He is definitely whining and pouting as he looks up at her.]

[garudas]

[Ugh, why is it so effective when he pouts at her like that?]

... And how do you propose I make mine if I am spending the next few days in bed? With you?

[DEFLECT!!!!]

[ramuhs]

I can wait. And if a cake is too much, what about them small ones? The cupcakes?

[Persistent.]

[garudas]

[She can't help but snort with an amused laugh, and her head lifts from his chest far enough that he'll see the disbelief on her face.]

You truly, desperately want it?

[ramuhs]

Is it really so surprising? If it's something made by you, of course I will.

[garudas]

[She groans, a little 'ugh' that sounds less like a defiant, tired protest than it does a sigh of tickled defeat.]

With it being such short notice, I cannot promise they will be any better than the last time I nearly poisoned you.

[She kisses the tip of his nose.]

But what of me? What if I want something to celebrate, too?

[ramuhs]

Come now, you think so little if yourself.

[He smiles up at her fondly.]

But I could make something in return.

[garudas]

[She only thinks little of her baking skills because it was like he almost died the last time she tried to make cake!!! She's amazing at everything else!

But now she fixes him with a curious look, her lids heavy with sleepy fondness.]

And what would my master chef make for me?

[ramuhs]

[The she should make more to prove she can be an amazing baker!!]

Could always be your favorite meal unless you have a special request?

[garudas]

While I am quite interested in that particular meal...

[And now it's her turn to pout.]

When will it be my time to receive a freshly baked cake made by you? Or perhaps a pie...

[Those are more up her alley.]

[ramuhs]

A dessert from me, is it?

[A small look of surprise before he tilts his head thoughtfully.]

Suppose it would be fair...

[garudas]

[She can only watch him with all the affection in the world in her eyes, because who would have thought that on their first night of freedom, they would be arguing about what desserts to make for one another...

Or perhaps this is exactly where they are supposed to be.

Either way, she awaits his answers.]

And what, pray tell, might you make? You know that I am very picky.

[ramuhs]

Well I know tiramisus are one of your favorites, but I'm afraid that might be too advanced of an endeavor for me to try first.

[HMMMM HE'S THINKING SERIOUSLY!!]

Perhaps a pie? Or a cobbler or pudding...

[And then his eyes shine as he looks up at her with a wide grin.]

Hah, I got it! Never made it but I know just the thing to try.

[garudas]

[Ah, that does remind her of the pudding that he quite enjoys, but she's not going to bring it up lest he start begging her for that, too...

But when he looks up at her with that all too familiar shine in his eyes, she returns it with one of curious surprise.]

What? What is it?

[IS HE GOING TO TELL HER]

Or do not tell me it's going to be a surprise...

[ramuhs]

[To that he just smiles and winks because yes.

Yes it is.]

[garudas]

You wicked, cruel man...

[She punishes him by rolling over until she is on top of him, and she can relentlessly shower him in kisses that tickle his jaw and down to his neck.]

If I had a cake, I'd have stuffed the icing in your face by now...!

[ramuhs]

[He just laughs as he lets her do as she pleases, "resisting" only with his arms wrapped around her.]

Would you be the one to clean it up?

[And then a leg hooks around her so that he can roll them again so he's on top, eyes gleaming playfully.]

Or should I let you share in the fun?

[It will be his turn to shower her in kisses, first to her lips before moving elsewhere, though he'll sneak a bite at her neck when he descends down.]
