Re: Her Sheltered Life

"What is more serious than chocolate?" I asked curiously as we walked along, my hand in hers. Other guards were looking at my suspiciously and I couldn't take my hand from her or she'd be confused.

"Vanilla. Vanilla is way more serious than chocolate! That's why everyone uses vanilla cake for the royal dances and not chocolate!" I said happily, dragging him in the direction of the kitchen. "So I figured you were serious like vanilla, but I guess I was wrong!"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 11:23 am

"I am vanilla but can't a man enjoy his chocolates?" I asked with a chuckle, I could smell lunch cooking in the kitchen, I was hungry but I never ate palace food.

"I suppose you can!" I laughed again. I was always laughing with Zephyr at some point. It was almost like he made it his personal duty to make me laugh every day. "But you've never had my chocolate cupcakes! After you taste them, you can't go back to anything else!"

"Right, I'll be sure to remember that!" I was getting more excited about this as we were getting ready to bake, or I should say SHE was getting ready to bake.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 11:48 am

I drug him into the kitchen and set him on a stool while I got all of the ingredients out and started mixing them together. "I love to bake! It's my favorite thing to do inside the castle! What kinds of things do you like to do?" I asked sweetly.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:02 pm

"Me? I really... like to..." What did I like to do? I was really stumped on what to tell her considering my job took up a good chunk of my time and I never had days off, I spent every second with her.

"Sleep... when I... have the chance?"

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:08 pm

I laughed. "Do I wear you out that much? Man, how tired you must always be!" I was laughing a lot though. I loved to tease him. Hehe, Zephyr was my best friend. <3

"I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have hobbies, my job is busy usually... not that I consider being around you a job, but your parents do." I chuckled.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:12 pm

"So then, I'm your job and your hobby? I asked, pouring the batter into the cupcake molds and sliding the bowl and spoon over to him. "The batter is yummy! You can lick the bowl!"

Such a privilege, licking the bowl is. It shows that you are the most special, when you're presented with the batter bowl of yummy licking. <3

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:18 pm

I took the bowl and took off my gloves so I could use my fingers to get some of the batter off the sides, "Thanks! And yeah, I guess you could say that..."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:22 pm

"Don't you ever get bored just following me around everywhere? I mean, I love that you're always here with me and there to comfort me when I really need you, but is it ever tiring for you?" I found myself standing on a stool to search through the cabinets for sprinkles.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:23 pm

"Not really..." I wondered why she was asking me that, the topic of a hobby probably wasn't a very good topic.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:26 pm

I smiled at that. "Because we're best friends, right? Forever?" I located the sprinkles and looked down. Eh... it's easy enough to climb onto a stool, but climbing down is another matter altogether. ._.;;

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:21 pm

I lifted her off the stool and set her on the floor gently, "There you go." I said and then responded to her first question, "Yeah, best friends."

Best friends forever... part of me almost wanted something more that I knew I couldn't have.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:23 pm

I grinned up at him and hugged him quickly before holding up the sprinkles. "Do you like sprinkles?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:29 pm

"Just fine!" I replied, she was so spontaneous, I wondered how I managed to keep up with her the way I did.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:31 pm

"Oh, great!" I sighed happily and ran over to begin mixing the icing. Yum! I pulled my stool over and sat on it. All I had to do was stir anyway.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:33 pm

I watched her and looked away several times because I didn't want people to get the wrong idea. I had to pretend to be watching for danger or something... but then I looked stupid.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:37 pm

I pushed the bowl over to him. "The icing is getting thick and I need help stirring it. You just need to stir it until it's smooth. I'm sorry, I'm not exactly strong enough to stir it quickly when it's that thick..."

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:54 pm

I took the spoon and started to stir it, "Don't worry about it." I said to her as I easily stirred it around.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:55 pm

I watched him closely. "Hmm... you stir well enough. So why can't you cook?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:56 pm

"Stirring and picking out and putting together ingredients are really two different things to me." I confessed, "I can't put ingredients together or cook and time things right."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:58 pm

"Hmm... should I teach you, or just make something to send home with you every day?" I asked with a smile. I loved to cook.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:06 pm

"I don't think you should teach me, I'll learn... eventually." I sat back down after I finished stirring the stuff.
