She picked up the other and smiled brightly. They always made a good team.
“Here should be good.” She set the table down at the front entrance and pranced over to the stoop she’d been keeping the cakes. +
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎
"I definitely wont say no to that, Xiao Guang~"
A bright smile replaced the embarrassment on his face.
"Absolutely, the table seems a bit unwieldy for just one alone"
He was already walking over towards the mentioned table, picking it up on one end.
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎
“I can make you a personal batch later~”
She giggled, tail swishing as she walked with him towards the kitchen. Sure enough a spare table was resting against the wall.
“Oh! I’m sure we can use that, can you help me?”
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎
A faint hue of red washed over his face, sign of the slight embarrassment, as she slapped his hand.
"W-What? It's not my fault, they are delicious!" Throughout his protest he started to munch on the second cake, nodding as he set in motion toward the kitchen
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎
“Ah you say that?”
Her cheeks became a little flushed. She still found the attention overwhelming, after being isolated. Slowly, she was growing more accustomed. +

❝ Ah, where are my manners — I'm Luc.ᐟ Luc Astrana. ❞ He managed a shy smile.
❝ I have the advantage of the fact * you have been in the paper to know your name, Ms. Shunguang, ❞ he remarked with a nod.

“No doubt from you eating them Junior.”
She lightly slapped his hand but made no effort to take the cake away, only smiled.
“I think the kitchen has some tables, let’s go see.”
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎
"Sure, maybe we can grab a table from somewhere and make a little booth for visitors to take them... but don't worry I'm sure they will be gone by the end of the day"
Smiling at her as he subconsciously takes a second cake to eat
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎
“I’m glad you still like them Junior, can you help me hand them out? It’s visitor day at the temple, I might have made far too much.”

Taking one of the cakes before munching on it. The slight over-sweetness hit Wise, but by now he was already used to it maybe even developing a little sweet-tooth because of it.
"Hmm, they really are tasty as ever Senior!"
❝ in that case, perhaps i should introduce you to one of my own dishes i like to make every once in a while. ❞
— * a pause because he realized something he cannot leave out.
❝ though... it's the only thing i know how to make for myself. 💧❞
It was a Herculean effort to tear his eyes from the cakes. ❪⠀ Be strong, Luc . . . ⠀❫
❝ Ah — No, I haven't.ᐟ ❞ Shaking its head ❪⠀ bunny ears moving like those old clacker toys ⠀❫ .
Small bunny munching noises occurred behind his politely raised hand — waiting until his mouth wasn't full to reply, ❝ They taste wonderful — .ᐟ ❞
Eyeing up another. ❪⠀ * 💭 Be polite, be polite, be — ⠀❫
