[It appears to be the Return of the Girl from Oz, because here she is, and what's that she's got with her? Oh. Oh. It's a shitload of cupcakes. Well. Heavens. Maybe you should go get one before she runs out.

The little confections appear to be lemon with lemon frosting and little lemon fruitslice gummy candies on top. Also they've got little edible ball-bearings. Hey, they match her shoes!!]

[She grins back, but pretends to be absorbed in arranging her cupcakes.]

You watch out, now. Flattery'll get you nowhere.

[faint pout as he comes closer] Oh, but I like flattery. It can get you the prettiest smiles.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

But a smile's not really what you want from me, is it?

[she turns back to her table and pretends that wasn't rather insinuating something.]

Not when there's cupcakes to be had. You do like cupcakes, don't you? They're lemon, if you're interested.

[stares, for a moment, before chuckling softly] They do look delicious.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

They taste even better than they look!

[she gathers up a napkin and a cupcake and hands them over]

There, let me know what you think. The secret's to leave the frosting just a tiny bit sour, take the edge off the sweetness.

[raises eyebrows] Are you sure you should be telling me your secrets? [bites into cupcake!]

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[chuckling] Oh, believe you me, there's plenty more where that came from. After a hundred years or so you realize you've really sorta racked 'em up.

[and she looks at him all expectantly, like she's waiting for his cupcake review]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[a nod to that, as he chews, brow furrowing thoughtfully; he smiles when he finishes, though] As delicious as advertised.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[She raises an eyebrow, apparently not entirely convinced! Goodness.]

You sure about that?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[offended!] I wouldn't say so otherwise.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you're an honest man! Well, fancy meeting one of you in this place, I say. Though I doubt you'd be so cruel as to tell me to my face, even if you didn't like my baking. I hadn't pegged you for that sort of a man.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I'd be quite polite about it, but I'd think you'd deserve to know if your cupcakes were subpar. [faint smile] I'd pegged you for the sort who'd want to do your best.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Well, you think right. [she beams!] I'm also, for the record, not the sort that 'preciates being lied to. So I do 'preciate your candor.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[grin] I only ask that you return the favour. [...eats his cupcake]
