[Vivio's House - Frontdated later in the event week]

[Ako knocked on the door, waiting for the door to be opened. She wanted to talk to Vivio and see how she felt. She hadn't heard from her friends in a while and had worried that a bunch of them went into the portals. She hadn't seen Yuna in a while, nor the other Precure and she was getting worried.

But clearly Vivio didn't go in, right? It was wistful thinking.

And so she rocked on her heels, hoping that someone would answer the door and relieve her fears that they had gone and done something reckless.]

[ Vivio was holding down the fort. Her mamas were out by this time in the week and she was left to look after the house and wait for them. She knew this was the best thing to do; Nanoha and Fate would be too worried about her to concentrate if she came along. They didn't have to say it for Vivio to imagine she'd be a burden on her loving mamas.

So she's been baking. It's not something Vivio usually does when she's stressed, but she wanted to have something for Fate and Nanoha to return to. She was just staring down the failed batch of cookies when she heard Ako at the door and eagerly got up. ]

Mama--- [ Oh. It's not them.

Of course not, that would be too soon. ] Ako-chan... Hey, good afternoon! What a surprise!

[tsunmuse]

H-hey, Vivio. I was just uh, wanting to stop by and all...

[And there was that awkwardness once more, as Ako rubbed the back of her her neck. Vivio looked worried to her but she smiled at her.] Can I come in?

[vividly]

Oh... [ Vivio grins. The offer is not only touching, but reassuring. ] Yeah, sure! Come on in! Thank you, Ako-chan!

[tsunmuse]

Thanks. [Stepping in and removing her shoes, Ako looked around Vivio's home.] It's a nice place.

Are you baking? It certainly smells good in here.

[vividly]

W-well, yeah... A bit... I'm trying, anyway! I figured Mamas would like something warm and energizing when they get back, y-you know? Want to try some cookies?

[tsunmuse]

Sure, I could do that. I've also got a recipe I like. It takes a little bit of prep time but it's not bad. It's a sweet bread from my home.

[vividly]

Sweet bread? That sounds amazing~!!! That's right, you're good at cooking, aren't you Ako-chan?

[tsunmuse]

Ah well I'm mostly good at cooking. Here, I'll teach you how to do it. It's pretty nice and it's a fluffy bread.

[vividly]

Could you? That would be great! And don't sell yourself short, I bet you're a lot better than me at least.

[tsunmuse]

Ah... [And have a blush as she ducked her head down a little before looking up to meet Vivio's eyes.] Thanks Vivio. That means a lot.

Okay, um, should we get started then?

[vividly]

[ She giggles and nods. Ako's blushing is cute, but she doesn't comment on it. ]

Yeah, sure! Wanna check if we have the right ingredients here? I hope we don't have to go on a shopping trip.

[tsunmuse]

Sure. Lets see... Can you check for flour and walnuts while I check for eggs, milk and sugar?

[vividly]

Yep, no problem!

[ Vivio walks to the cupboards and gets on her tiptoes. At moments like this, she almost considers transforming. Almost. ]

Yup! We've got them both!

[tsunmuse]

[At that point Ako would have probably stared and felt giddy she could do that. As it stood, she checked the fridge and nodded, pulling out some contents.]

It's a sweet walnut bread that we make back home. It keeps for a long time too.

[vividly]

Really? That would be really useful to start making then! In case we have a food shortage again, right?

[tsunmuse]

Yeah it would. And it keeps better in the freezer as well. Okay, lets get started. I'll show you how we make walnut bread back home.
