[Video/Action]

Good afternoon, Luceti! [There's a beat as she waves into the camera, before turning the view over to quite a large plate of cupcakes. They look rather normal, and all of them have little stars sprinkled on top of them. There's no telling what's actually inside of the things, however.]

I've been baking an awful lot lately to pass time

[Terra has a definite sweet tooth, so she responds almost immediately.]

I'd be glad to help with cupcake-testing!

[Written]

[arcanaxxii]

Hehe, yeah? Is there any specific flavours that you'd like?

[Written]

[heavenslament]

Hm...any kind of chocolate, really!

[Written]

[arcanaxxii]

Hm... Oh! That's easy; only one of my batches had chocolate, so...! [a pause.] Where are you at right now? I'll come to you!

[Written]

[heavenslament]

I'm at the fountain, feeding the birds.

[Written]

[arcanaxxii]

I'll start heading out soon! (≧∇≦) [She draws a little smile after her sentence.] And if you don't mind, do you think I could join you after in that?

[Written]

[heavenslament]

Oh, not at all! I'm sure the birds would appreciate it.

[arcanaxxii]

[She's too busy trying to get there as fast as possible, so there's no further reply from her journal-wise. From there, it takes her about ten minutes to get the fountain area. She realises she forgot to get the girl's name, but it was generally empty so she assumed it would be safe to call out.]

Hello! [She'll start to jog up to Terra, a small white box in hand. If that doesn't catch her attention, she taps the girl on the shoulder.] You're the one who wanted these, right? [She opens the box for reference, revealing four neatly tucked-away cupcakes.]

[Action]

[heavenslament]

[As she's approached, Terra perks up and nods.]

Oh, yes! I'm Terra. Thank you for meeting me.

[Action]

[arcanaxxii]

I should be the one thanking you! You're helping me get these off my shoulder, after all, and the one who's helping me test them. [a pause as she hands it over to her. If she decides to eat one now, unless she likes her cupcakes super sweet, she might realise that the white chocolate plus the copious amount of sugar is way too much...]

Ah! Where'd my manners go? [She grins, laughing sheepishly.] Name's Minako!

[Action]

[heavenslament]

It's nice to meet you, Minako!

[Terra picks up a cupcake and bites into it, eager to try. She falls silent for a moment, then her brow furrows.]

It's...um, really sweet.

[Action]

[arcanaxxii]

Likewise! It's nice to meet you too, Terra-san! [Watching her eagerly as she bites into it, Minako manages to retain the smile on her mouth.]

Is it? [She giggles, feeling sheepish.] Maybe I should've cut down on the sugar when I added the chocolate. [a pause.] If I were to change it up, could you give it another go?

[Action]

[heavenslament]

[Terra nods, not wanting to discourage her.]

Of course. It's not bad, it just needs less sugar.

[Action]

[arcanaxxii]

I, I'm glad to hear that! [She's noticeably happier now, clasping her hands together.]

Aaaah... Now that I think about it, I forgot to bring bread crumbs myself to feed the bird with you. [she pouts, but it's quick to fade away.] Are you here often?

[Action]

[heavenslament]

[Terra holds up a small plastic back with bread crumbs still inside.]

You can use some of mine...and yes, sometimes. It's nice to sit and watch everything for a little while.

[Action]

[arcanaxxii]

I'd like that a lot! It's been a while since I've done something as relaxing as this. [...] I've got it! Next time I stop by here again and see you, I'll be sure to bring chocolate cupcakes that are sure to be ten times better than the last.

[A bird starts to fly away at the sheer volume of her voice, so she laughs sheepishly in response and takes it a notch down.] ... mm. I don't usually relax around like this, so the change of pace is really refreshing.
