@adiredamsel 'Y'know, you usually do something where you crinkle your nose a little and go all.. like this.'
It isn't until *after* he demonstrates that he realizes his folly.
'Oh. Uhm, ahem. As I was saying, smiling really suits you, Twinkles.'
@adiredamsel 'Yeah. Nothing like getting a new shiny rock.'
The way he speaks alludes to thievery, though, truthfully, his mind had drifted to the thought of glistening rock candy.
'It's a nice change of pace, is all. Your smile beats the pants off of that one thing you do with your face.'
Yeah? Great.
There's plenty of cakes that count as breakfast. I would know.
Ya got your pancakes, pound cake, honeyed biscuits, flat-bread tarts, filled donuts..
@THRIFTERSBANE “So it’s like that, huh?”
“Alright, Red. You’re on. But if I win, I get a go at the sweets you’re pedaling.”
“I have it on good authority you just got fudge all the way from Themis..”
“I’m a shoe in for a photo set! You can call my bit ‘body by chocolate.’”
“But, come to think of it— I don’t know that it’s possible anybody could get a shot of me doing anything other than wolfing down chocolate.”
"Yeah, I think we got that much."
"Well, whatever you decide, I'll be sure to drop a ration of dessert by your tent. Choosing to go it alone is one thing, but a holiday without sweets? Uh-uh."
"Well then? That sounds like plenty to me."
"Take it from me; in my line of work, it wasn't so rare to spend a holiday alone or holed up somewhere."
"It doesn't have to be like that here with the shepherds, is what I'm saying."
“I’ve been taking down all the candy cane decorations the Shepherds have been setting up in camp. It’s too early, you know?”
