[The screen clicks on to show the kitchen of Zidane and Dagger's apartment... at the moment literally covered in flour. Dagger is currently stirring the contents of a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon, but even she hasn't been spared the flour bath, and there is a streak of batter plastered to her nose. But despite all this she looks rather happy,

[was in the other room when he heard her and saw this so brb COMING OVER ALL STEALTHY THIEF LIKE and coming up behind you, hands on hips]

Jeez, Dagger, I knew you were doing something in here but man, this is going to take forever to clean up! [has a teasing smile regardless]

[hanginbyatail]

[he will treasure this forever. uh, I mean he starts wiping down the counters and stuff and yeah.]

I know right? I didn't even think any frog dishes would be that great. What's s/he up to back home?

[royalknife]

[Good boy. She'll put dishes in the sink and clean some flour off the walls... >>]

Serving as head cook at the castle, actually.

[hanginbyatail]

Oh really? That must be interesting. [now that he thinks about it, he never really asked much about the others]

What about the rest of the gang?

Slow slow slow >.>

[royalknife]

I have had night where I wasn't quite sure what was on my plate.

Steiner is still serving at the castle, of course, alongside Beatrix. Freya returned to Burmecia with Sir Fratley, and currently they are rebuilding the city.

Oh, and Eiko was adopted by Uncle Cid.

I'm slower? >_>

[hanginbyatail]

So Steiner and Beatrix really did tie the knot, huh? [teasing grin. man he really wished Rusty was here...only to mess with him. ...on second thought maybe it was better that he wasn't here. he'd have a heart attack knowing they were living together] Glad Freya's also getting things done on her end.

And Eiko was adopted by Cid? Seriously? [laughs] Now you guys can really be like sisters! Or cousins, I guess, but that must be pretty cool.

So what about Vivi and Amarant?

*SLOWEST*

[royalknife]

Well, there has been no wedding ceremony yet for those two. But I would not be surprised if there was one soon.

I am quite happy to have Eiko as a member of my family. Her letters are always so fun to read.

Ah, Amarant went off on his own again, but he had come to Alexandria for our year celebration shortly before you came home. [She stops there, fiddling with her rag.] As for Vivi... well...

*MORE SLOWEST???*

[hanginbyatail]

Man, I wanna be there for that, haha! Rusty in a suit! And not one made of armor.

[pauses as he notices her reaction] ...What about Vivi? Did something happen?

*MORST SLOWEST X INFINITY*

[royalknife]

Well, I think you'll be invited.

He.... [She pauses, not knowing what to say, when she suddenly looks up and sniffs the air.]

What's that smell?

...Morst?

[hanginbyatail]

He...[blinks and starts sniffing]

...Something's burning---!! [quickly looks around and spots the towel caught in the oven where the cake is still baking] Dagger, the oven!

I hath explained

[royalknife]

What? Oh! [She quickly grabs the free end of the towel and pulls open the oven door, quickly tossing the singed piece of fabric in the sink.]

[hanginbyatail]

[helps by turning on the faucet so that it cools off before looking back at the oven]

Phew, that was close...how's the cake?

[royalknife]

[Busy having a mild heart attack Zidane, be right with you.]

....

[hanginbyatail]

[...oro?]

Dagger? [turns and looks over before putting an arm around her shoulders] Hey it's okay! Crisis averted, right?

[royalknife]

I should have been paying attention. Someone could have gotten hurt.

[hanginbyatail]

These kind of things happen, don't worry about it. Important thing is no one got hurt and we learned a lesson.
