Rory
The scone was practically melting in his mouth: he couldn't help but imagine what a dangerously delicious combination it would be with some butter on it, melting and running between his fingers. Alas, butter was precious, probably best used for other things in a baker's kitchen, and besides—they were amazing anyway. Rory took another bite out of it, relishing both the taste and how he could pretend to be engrossed in it, while truly he was watching Deimos.
Was his senses fooling him, or had the larger man sort of stilled when Amalia approached? Like an animal unsure of your intentions—
Could it be that he, who seemed so rock solid, was uncertain beneath all that leather and muscle?
Perhaps, perhaps not; Rory took another bite of his scone, watching the other do the same. It was amazing what a little bit of baking could do. Magic, in a pure and simple form.
As the shadow of a smile flickered over Deimos's face and Amalia beamed in return, Rory let his attention go back wholly to his scone. He closed his eyes again, savoring the taste and the warmth, thinking about this—here—now, committing it to memory. Even if the sun was absent, there was warmth and light enough in here, and it eased something that had been tight and painful in his chest.
