AMALIA They are quick and eager to get to work, soothing some of the baker's fears. Greetings are exchanged, alliances formed- Amalia watches it all in silence, a bittersweet smile on her face. Her grandmother would be proud. But it doesn't make the ache of her loss any less. She watches the bakers choose their herbs intently. Her grandmother used to say you can tell a lot about a person by the things they eat, and the selection of seasonings changes the flavor of each one in her mind. Jigano's herbs are strong and symphonic, like the bard himself. Kiada's lavender, cinnamon, and honey are a spicy tune with a sweet interior. Deimos' selection is the most surprising: honey and cinnamon, sweet and spice, simple yet rich- and she flashes a curious glance at the man, a half-smile on her dark lips as he interacts with Kiada. There is something else in her, though, something dark and squeezing as she watches their exchange. She wants those smiles directed at her- Flushing slightly, she looks away, attention turning back to her bread. "Time to turn it out and knead," the baker instructs. Then, jokingly, a line used by her grandmother when they were children, unbridled and wild: "Whoever has the least flour on them at the end wins a prize!" Amalia smiles brightly at the memory and turns to the banner making group, blissfully unaware of the chaos about to unfold. The three women are discussing intently, and Amalia only catches a snippet of the conversation as they begin to leave the shop. "Ribbons, paint, and pressed flowers- just look out for chorus bees!" Deimos, The linen, meanwhile, is hanging on a line in the middle of a swarm of chorus bees! Currently content to hum a cheery tune, who knows what they'd do if you came too close? What will you choose to do? I tend to avoid getting emotional I'm not shutting you out It's just the way I'm born But I see myself next to you until we're old |

Jigano was more than happy to scratch at Auni’s ears and rub his head as the last of the introductions were made and they settled in to work. He tied his wide sleeves back with practiced efficiency, baring his honeyed arms almost to the shoulder before making use of the water. With clean hands and his chosen ingredients he set to kneading, tossing Kiada and Deimos a conspiratorial grin at their agreement. ”Surely no one will notice just a few small nibbles taken out of the loaves?” he suggested slyly, sharing the lavender with the young woman. There was something else going on between her and Deimos, an established friendship he found himself an outsider of, but that didn’t really matter. He was here to help Amalia, and Rexanna and Phoebe were present as well, so he felt comfortable in working silently, even starting to hum a little – though sharp blue eyes caught his fellow bakers’s antics as they whispered and glanced towards those who were making decorations.
Still, he wasn’t particularly bothered until a billow of mis-thrown flour from Kiada caught him a dusty white splash on his elbow. The pale brow arched as he looked at his companions with an expression caught between humor and exasperation. At least, he was exasperated until Amalia gave her blessing to the game, and then blue eyes sparked with mischief, his smile turning just a touch wicked. He waited for her to give her directions to the banner crew before snaking an arm around her to try and dab a spot of flour on her nose. ”Don’t think you can declare a prize and then claim it so easily!” he teased her, before turning back to his bread to knead it – using as little flour as he thought he could get away with, to keep his hands clean beneath the wrist. He kept a wary eye out on Kiada and Deimos, however, ready to duck if the big man retaliated for the scarred woman’s antics – and he did, indeed! Jigano spun, turning to let the flour land in his hair, white on white, and protected his clothing from the worst of it before turning back to his dough and working it with long, elegant fingers that focused on copying Amalia’s technique rather than brute strength as he began to quietly sing a song he had learned from Rory, about Rae and Flowerbirth. It made for a good rhythm to the kneading, in spite of the war going on across the table. the Penumbra

REXANNA paint my spirit gold As As they begin to make their way outside, she catches Amalia’s instruction, pausing to turn toward her friends with an inquisitive look. “What’s a chorus bee?” She whispered to them as the corner of her lip rose in a small smile, wondering if they had any idea what they should be expecting. Singing bees? Bees at all? There were so many questions, but she nodded to Amalia if she looked and decided on heading outdoors to see what awaited the trio. She spotted the flowers in the back that Phoebe and Amalia must have spoke of, then an idea of the location of the cloth. “Here goes nothing?” She half joked to the group, stepping out into the back to see what kind of thing a chorus bee was, if there were any back here.

KIADA
She agrees with Deimos releases her face finally yet not before adorning her with more flour, and she hisses a laugh under her breath — a part of her feeling bad for Jigano in the mess between the two of them, but she cannot be outdone. And Amalia announces their turn to start to knead the bread, and she fills her hands with flour to get started. Turning out her bread and beginning to knead it, she eyes Deimos a bit warily though a wolfish grin sits on her lips, turning the edges up. After a few moments, she reaches up with her arm to push back the stray dark hairs from her face, adorning her with a sprinkling of more flour along her nose. And with the motion, she takes her floury hand and turns it to Deimos with a sprinkle of flour along his head before her hands return to the bread. Then, as if to make it more difficult for him, she bows her elbows out and pushes into Deimos to throw him off with his own kneading; that same mischievous grin along the Harpy’s face.

KIADA
The delight in Amalia’s laugh makes it all the more fun for the girl, and she soon pays attention to how much flour there is decorating Jigano and Amalia, having had her fun with Deimos already. They both were covered in flecks of white, and she imagines that she’ll likely continue to find it days from now. But it seems as Deimos’ booming voice erupts in laughter at the table, Kiada can’t hide her own chime of snickering that accompanies it. It’s all in good fun, and she does her best to listen to Amalia’s instructions – focusing hard on rolling the dough out and splitting it. She flattens the four pieces that Amalia has demonstrated, marveling slightly at the ease the woman works with it, before she tries her hand at it and takes a bit longer to accomplish. But she does, and she moves on to the decorating, glancing sideways at Deimos’ snowflake and smiling softly at it – imagining that she knows the reason why the Reaper has chosen such a thing – and turns back to hers, staring at it briefly before sketching in a small bird with wide wings of flight. “For Khairi.” She thinks to herself as Deimos leans in to speak to her. And as he does, her eyes slide toward the pale haired man innocently as if she’s trying to see what design he decides to go with. She gives Deimos a small brisk nod, watching while he dips his hand into the flower and she does the same, grabbing a large fistful – but to make it less conspicuous, she sprinkles a bit across the top of her dough innocently. Then, when Deimos strikes in the front in an attempt to get the flour onto Deimos, she swirls around behind him to try and toss the flour toward him from behind in case he tries to step back and avoid the onslaught. They weren’t all going to make it out of here clean. No permission needed for power play! Feel free to use magic/force on Kiada, without killing her <3 the Sage

A smiling, laughing Amalia was a balm to Jigano’s heart and he was more proud and pleased than he had any right to be at her joy. A joy that was, he noticed slyly, directed with a lingering gaze on the big man with the beard, a spark of something intriguing in her dark-eyed gaze that the bard itched to encourage. But first he had to survive the flour fight that was accompanying their baking – and learn how to bake while he was at it!
They all settled down for a moment while Amalia demonstrated her skills with a fine aplomb and flair that the showman in the bard could appreciate. He might not have her skill and experience, but his fingers were deft as he reached for his own dough and began to copy her example – with only the first loaf coming out a little lumpy. After that he got the hang of it, and though he kept a wary eye across the table at first, it seemed Deimos and Kiada were momentarily absorbed in the joy of decorating. With a slight hum of music in this throat he turned his attention to his own loaves consideringly. He was no great artist, to make some clever abstract design out of slender ropes and strings of dough. He had no symbol to call his own, as Deimos seemed to have. A brief consideration of a bird – his own raven form as inspiration – was dashed by Kiada’s swifter fingers, and he let his attention wander from his companions for a moment as he sought something simple yet meaningful he could use. He reached for the flour as Kiada and Deimos pulled away from the bowl… His distraction proved his undoing. He caught Deimo’s overhanded toss at the last moment and tried to dance back – directly into Kiada’s clever attack from the rear. The result was a light dusting of flour on his front and a larger puff of what powder across his shoulders and hair, turning his golden skin pale along his bared arms. He didn’t – quite – yelp, but retribution was swift as he turned and flung his handful of flour at Kiada’s front in retaliation, laughing as he did so. ”Hey! Your dough is over there! You knead to stop loafing around and get back to work!” He tossed her a wink and truly wicked grin at his horrible pun, but figured she had earned it with her unprovoked attack! Struck by inspiration, he turned back to his own loaves and swiftly rolled out his thin ropes to make a simple crescent moon pattern to compliment Amalia’s suns, making sure to Deimos and Kiada in sight now!

Amalia's rebuke was met with an expression of positively angelic innocence from the bard - only somewhat ruined by the dusting of white that blended in with his hair and overtunic, and stood in stark contrast against his skin. "Yes," he murmured, a paragon of perfect behavior. "Kiada and Deimos did rather make a mess, didn't they?" Though the sly wink he tilted at Amalia a moment later hinted at the mischief behind his performer's mask.
His grin escaped as he turned away from their hostess, and he eyed Kiada and Deimos to try and measure how much flour was on each of them. The big man had, in spite of his size that should have made him an easy target, somehow coming out the cleanest of the three... Which meant Amalia would be giving him a prize at this rate. And wasn't that an interesting proposition? His grin widened as he made his way to a broom in the corner of the shop and began to industriously sweep up the flour that had fallen on the floor. He 'accidentally' swept a cloud of it towards Kiada in his enthusiasm, tipping her an apology that was perhaps just a tad bit insincere. "Excuse me, miss, you're in the way there," he practically purred. "Doughn't you have something you could be doing to clean up? I would loave a little help with this!" the Resurrected Sword
