13th Adventure

[Action A - Household, 7135 Brooks: Your kitchen is a total wreck today. Hurricane Aurora has passed though in an attempt to bake. There's flour everywhere, ingredients scattered, pots and pans overflowing the sink. The master baker herself is hovering (literally!) in the kitchen, looking over a recipe book. Her hair is tied up high on her head (as best as it could be), her apron has more flour on it than is probably used in recipes, and she's deep in thought as she mutters what she's reading aloud. ]

Let's see... oh no, did I add a tablespoon of the salt, or sugar?

[Being a ghost cook is suffering.]

--

[Action B: Brooks Street Out in front of their house, Aurora has set up a lovely little bake sale stand! It's decorated with colorful signs and flowers and streamers, and Aurora herself is all cleaned up and perfectly dressed. But the baked goods... Well, maybe they don't look as nice, but Aurora looks very excited for people to try them.

Here's the thing. Sometimes she got the recipe right. Sometimes she didn't. Maybe you got a good brownie or cookie, or maybe you didn't. Try at your own risk!]

--

[Action C - 1648 Albright Lane: There's a knock at the door! It's Aurora, looking a bit anxious and worried. She's carrying a small container of cookies, and she's looking to speak with Abel. Privately.]

[He gets the feeling she might have been here for someone else, though he's going to be deliberately in her way now.]

I'd love one, why don't you come in and sit down?

[late to the party (as usual-- but, at least slightly more on-time than the norm!!), Abel is poking his head down from the stairwell at the sound of his brother speaking with someone -- he thought he'd heard the doorbell...]

Cain? Is someone at the door...?

[this

is going to be interesting guys just saying]

[Oh. Well, would you look at that, it's his brother. He's immediately a bit more on edge, considering what he and Abel had talked about the other day, but it doesn't show at all.]

It's Miss Aurora with some cookies, Abel. I was just inviting her in.

A-Ah! Yes! I brought cookies... The good ones, not like at the bake sale!

[Nervous who's nervous she's not nervous]

[...oahfjajdlfna...

there's a long pause, before this guy just starts-- CHUCKLING AHAHA, heading down the stairs-- as if this is a totally appropriate response.]

--Miss Aurora! And cookies...! This is definitely my kind of house call...!

Hi! Yes! Um, I hope I'm not interrupting anything! I can, um, come back another time then! [Fidgetfidget]

No! No, no... [he reaches the living room proper, waving his hands in a sign of denial.] Not at all! Please... come in, Miss Aurora! It's no problem, really...

[awkward...

...yes. problem? not at all! she IS his friend, and he does care about her quite a bit. he had wanted to speak with her after his... 'talk' with Cain, too, so... it's about time he stopped putting it off ~~or could no longer avoid the subject with it right in front of him yep~~]

[He doesn't want to give them the opportunity to speak alone, he's a little afraid Aurora will quiz Abel about that... small lie he had told about his brother's sexuality. So he'll just assume the offer for cookies is for him as well, even if he hates sweet things.]

Should I fetch some tea to go with them? It's really nice of you to bring them for us, Miss Aurora, we don't see enough of you.

[Aurora bites her lip, trying to think of a quick excuse.]

I, um... Oh! I, ah, was wondering if I could leave these here with you, and... Um... W-Would you like to go for a walk, Abel? I was, um...

[even he would have to be blind, deaf, and dumb not to notice that she seems a little more on edge than normal. oh, dear...

his brow momentarily furrows softly in thought through the overdramatism that just seems par for the course with him, before he clears his throat behind his hand and gives her a nod and a smile.]

--mm, you know... thinking about it, I could use a good stretch and some fresh air...

[but he glances toward his brother to make sure it's alright. surely it would be, since it was Cain who started them down the path of a 'necessary talk,' right? that was what he wanted.]

We won't be gone long, okay? I'll leave it to you to hold down the fort.

[No. No no no no no. He doesn't want this at all, he is sure that Aurora will say something unfortunate and then Abel will be furious with him. He won't understand that Cain was only doing what was necessary to protect himself.

But he can't protest without looking highly suspicious, so he just fixes pleading eyes on Aurora. He's trying to guilt her into remembering that Cain had said the information he told her was secret, and for her not to reveal to Abel she knew. God knows if it will work, but it's all he has left in his pitiful ammunition.]

...Okay, I'll put the cookies away while you're gone.

[Oh god oh no Cain why did you give her that look? Him being there already made her lose her nerve.]

We'll be back soon, I'm sure! Thanks...

[Taking a deep breath and plastering on a smile, Aurora turns to Abel.] Um. Well. After you?

[he gives his little brother a grateful look, before he's leading her toward the door and holding it ajar for her.]

Ladies first, ladies first~! Chivalry isn't dead, despite popular opinion...

[he'll be back later little bro. you better hope she doesn't spill the beans :|]

[Out of the sight of Cain, Aurora's a bit more calm, but still, something is on her mind. But now she doesn't want to bring it up because Cain gave her that look. But she also wants to clarify things and make sure Abel is okay. Pressure! It's not a thing she's used to dealing with in the easygoing Afterlife.]

Sorry if I was, um, intruding? I did a lot of baking today, I wanted to try it, so I thought I'd stop by with some...

[he shuts the door behind him, and seems a little more at ease himself to be out of Cain's earshot. he has a feeling this conversation isn't going to be as enjoyable as the usual with his favorite Aurora-kins okay ;(

he falls into step beside her, noting that the worry is still on her face. hm...]

--No, no! You're never intruding-- don't be silly, Miss Aurora...! You know you're always welcome whenever you want, especially if you bring something sweet with you...

[his weakness......]

[Aurora absently fiddles with her hair as she talks, looking away from Abel.] I'm still practicing, but I hope you like them. I wasn't too successful at the bake sale today, but that's okay.

Ahh, my mouth is watering thinking about it... I bet they're really good, Aurora! You have a knack for making things, if your art is any sign, right?

[alksjd she looks so shy no babby ;;...]

Some of them sort of turned out like rocks, but I think I managed to pick those all out. Um, hopefully you won't break a tooth or anything.

So, um. How've you been?

[laksjdf Aurora...]

If I do... you'll hold my hand in the dentist's chair, right? [f-ff loser... chuckling.....]

--Ah, I'm-- just fine! Just fine... [herp.] How about you~?

[She giggles a bit at that.] The dentist can't be that scary!

Oh, I'm good, I'm good. I managed to keep out of that scary zombie stuff. [Fidget fidget. She's thinking of a way of getting to the point of asking what she wants to ask, without harming Cain's wishes. Well, there's one way, but... Why does asking it seem so hard? She gets momentarily lost in thought.]

If I lost my teeth, I'm sure he'd whip out all of the scary utensils and then what would I do with myself--?

[...ahh. but he tilts his head a bit at that... and gives a quiet hum.]

I'm glad... None of that was very pleasant, was it? [something's definitely on her mind... if she doesn't bring it up, he might have to :(]

No, but we all managed to stay inside our house, nice and safe. I have a full house now, no drones! It's very nice...

[Okay, she knows what she needs to do. Do this the hard way. She'll know the truth, and she won't go against Cain's wishes! Kinda sorta! Whatever. With a small sigh, and a worried look, Aurora turns those big grey eyes up to Abel.]

Um... Can I ask you something? A-And it's totally okay if it's not okay and you say no!

[ah, she has a full family too? he's glad -- she seems the type that would gain some comfort from not having to hoof it alone.]

Really? A full house is a lot less lonely, isn't it? And a lot less creepy, too... [h-haha.] Does everyone get along?

[but -- oh. those big (doe) eyes of hers are turned on him at last.

a question... and she looks worried? ah.]

...Of course...

Is everything okay, Miss Aurora...?

Yes, everything is fine! It's just, um...

[And then she looks away again, her face turning red.] I was wondering if, ah... I-If you liked me! You know, um. Liked.
