"I will take some to Safrin, as well." There was contentment in his low voice as they worked together, creating something new that would bring happiness into the world. In many ways this day of self-care was an act of defiance against the Void and their enemies, though it was done with quiet joy. At the mention of Alys and Liam, however, his joy dimmed a little and he nodded slowly in understanding.
"I will give ours to Flora together," he assured her, rolling his coconut flavored chocolate first int the coconut shavings and then placing a small piece of chopped pineapple atop each one. For his bourbon truffles he plucked a bottle of caramel sauce from the shelf and drizzled a few lines across the top of each where they lay on the parchment paper. "It has not been... easy for her, lately." He paused, considering his last batch of truffles. The ones that were plain chocolate with a little vanilla extract to heighten their flavor. "And Noe, I think." He considered a moment longer and then turned to look down at the pale haired Ancient at his side, emerald eyes twinkling. "And you, of course, if any of these flavors interest you." With a decisive hand he reached for the edible glitter that usually went into the brunch mimosas. The vial was small, but he dusted it over his truffles with a delicate hand to give the simple chocolate ones a silvery shimmer in the dappled light that reflected in from the sea.
