[A delicious smell begins to waft out of the Distillery in the early afternoon. Anyone who investigates will find that Mireille has baked a rather large cake, topped with bright yellow frosting and blue flowers.

Also, whoever enters the Distillery will be asked a question.]

What do you think: should it be served now, or after dinner?

[hellpyre]

[Don't mind that girl standing next to you practically sparkling, Mireille.]

Waah... cake... it's been forever since I've seen one!

[Rin it hasn't been that long]

I almost wanna eat it right now!

[bastionpc]

[She chuckles.]

It seemed like the right time to have cake. I might not be able to make one when it's time for the festival, so why not make one now?

[hellpyre]

Festival? What festival?

[bastionpc]

Where I come from, we have a midsummer festival. Even though we don't have seasons here anymore, there has been talk of celebrating anyway. Esther and Nathaniel seemed interested.

It is still some days away, at least a month or more, but I may not be available to make desserts then.

[She pats her very large stomach as she says that.]

[hellpyre]

H... heh. That's... kinda funny. Before... everythin' that happened, our school was gettin' ready for a festival.

[Rin fidgets a little, looking down at her hands with a sad smile. A huff, and she straightens, looking brighter.]

You should teach me how to make the food for it!

[bastionpc]

I think I could do that. If I can't prepare the traditional dishes, then I might as well make sure someone else can.

later in the day

[hellpyre]

[After indulging in delicious cake, Rin can be found with a full belly lying on the grass curled on her side, tail swaying contently. This is probably the best she's felt in days.

Obviously this is a good time to bother her.]

Kaoru will be along shortly!

[individuates]

[someone has escaped her Kaoru and is not-so-subtly stalking through the grass. She wants to know what that long thing is that's moving... Auntie-Rin-chans beware.]

:o

[hellpyre]

[Ohnoes. She's being stalked and she doesn't even realize it!]

Re: :o

[individuates]

[fear not. Kaoru sees what she's doing there. If Tama-chan's clumsy stalking doesn't jolt Rin out of her food coma, he will.]

Tama-chan.

[scooping the anklegator up - to much flailing and chittering as she arcs her head back and butts the top of it against his chin. She wasn't going to be bad. Just naughty.]

Don't sneak up on your Auntie Rin-chan. [throwing a good-natured smile towards Rin] She hits hard, you know.

[hellpyre]

Mmm?

[If it weren't for the food coma, she would have caught on sooner, but it's Kaoru's voice that got her to sit up with a tired smile.]

I wouldn't hit Tama-chan. I'm not that mean!

[kyotoprincess]

[Oh definitely. Bon doesn't really have anything specific he wants to say to her, but he's still going to greet her anyway.

See? He's being sociable even when there's no ulterior motive to it! He's learning!]

Yo.

[hellpyre]

[And she's not hiding and acting like everything is her fault anymore! Progress for both of them!

Rolling over and stretching her arms over her head, she opened her eyes to look up at Bon with a smile, tail curling next to her.]

Hey.

[kyotoprincess]

Mind if I join you?

[Bon didn't eat any cake yet, but relaxing on a nice day (as if it's never not nice, but shh) seems like a good idea.]

[hellpyre]

[Relaxing with your girlfriend is even better]

'course not. Plenty of room out here.

[blackblooded]

I want it!

[... Crona isn't even going to respond to that one. It goes without saying that Ragnarok can't have all the cake.]

If you wait until after dinner, won't people be full? They won't have room for cake.

[Someone does not understand how meals work in normal society.]

[bastionpc]

Mmm, I suppose so. Though if we eat cake before dinner, wouldn't you be too full for dinner?

[blackblooded]

Th-that's okay.

Cake's nicer, unless dinner is pasta.

[bastionpc]

[She chuckles at that.]

What about a pasta dinner, with cake afterwards?

[blackblooded]

[Crona's eyes go wide in disbelieving amazement.]

Y-you would do that?

[heptagram]

Hm...

[Well, it doesn't really matter to her if the cake is served before or after dinner. She'll probably just take her piece and go to a quiet corner with it. But, if she had to choose...]

I would say, wait to serve it until after dinner.

[bastionpc]

You think so too?

[Most of the people want it now, but Mireille sees the sense in waiting.]

Thank you for helping, by the way.

[heptagram]

Yes. Though, if you wish to do otherwise...

[In some respects, it's just... adherence to patterns, in some respect. She doesn't take change very well, most of the time.]

Well, I... [Oh jeez. She's bad at taking complements, especially from someone who she doesn't know very well. So, she stammers a little and turns bright enough red to function as a lighthouse blushes a little. Eventually, she recovers.] I did what I could.

[bastionpc]

[Oh no what a cutie. Mireille will smile at that.]

That's all that matters, really: trying your best.

[heptagram]

[Sheesh, rub it in, why don't you. She can't help being a derp. She knows as much, but she didn't expect to be much help at the Bastion, since she is aware of what she's capable of and it didn't seem like it matched up very well to what she thought would be helpful at the Bastion...]

R-right, of course! I just hope I can remain useful.
