Best served hot, be it passion or pie.

Subject: A sweet little Valentione surprise!


Darling dreamers, it has been a while! My Starlight spirit rests for now, but like the bud bursts into bloom, my other passion unfurls and becomes a thorn in my detractors' sides: Valentione's season is upon us, an early stretch before we have ourselves a little springtime again!

The tradition is simple: Think fondly of or spend time with your loved ones, and exchange sweet treats. I think in the wake of so many dreadful nightmares and the missing moon, I'd like to double up on my efforts. So I offer my expertise to all of you: I'd be happy to make shaped chocolates in a bevvy of flavors or bake some of your loved ones' favorite cookies for you! I would also adore the opportunity to teach you how to make such things. I can take orders here in the journals, or you can give my shoulder a tap in town and sing to me your desire.

Then think of the possibilities, of inviting someone over and you open the door to the smell of warm chocolate and sugar in the air! Perhaps they'll want a bite out of the lovely baker after having a few bites of confections~

I'd like to offer such services as a way to oh-so-subtly advertise my up and coming little bistro and bakery, The Lady of Bliss. I'd like to feed you and get to know you! I'd like to know what kinds of things you eat or what you've always wanted to try. I'll be offering said cooking lessons over the next few days, but I do have my own plans in about a week, so I'm afraid I'll have to leave you to your own devices then.

[A pause.]

Ultimately, I'd like to show that I am personally unafraid of the thing that stole the moon. Should it hand the moon back peacefully, I will serve it a piping hot pie with no questions asked. Of course, the alternative is my axe and ample indignation, should it persist in being stubborn.

Trying them sounds just as exciting as making it.

I really enjoy cooking. There's nothing like preparing a meal for someone you care for.

When you describe it that way I have a feeling the person I'm thinking of will really enjoy it.

So, what's your favorite food?

[songbird_slayer]

I love buuz! They're meat buns. They go wonderfully with suutei tsai, which is a wonderful milk tea with toasted millet, butter and salt.

And now I'm making those tonight because I just made myself hungry and homesick.

[refire]

That does sound really good. Now I'm starting to get hungry too.

[ they keep talking about FOOD. ]

Why don't we go get something to eat together?

[songbird_slayer]

You know, I wouldn't mind trying more of the local fare. It would be an inspiration!

Do you have a kind of meal in mind?

[refire]

It would be something amazing for sure!

I'm often told I have strange tastes, but I won't say no to a freshly served dish. How about yourself?

Have any cravings right now?

[songbird_slayer]

I'm rather craving something light and sweet. 'Tis the season for at least a few forms of fruit, isn't it?

[refire]

Is it really?

I wouldn't know too much about how seasons typically work. Back in my homeland it was burning hot all the time.

We should have some fruits if it's a seasonal delicacy.

[songbird_slayer]

Of course. I think I know a place, and they make some very nice trifles.

Have you ever seen the place with the sign that's a sheep whose wool is like a berry bush?
