[Those who live or pass by house 12, may smell something very very delicious coming from the kitchen. Because despite being the man who hates sweet things, Raven is exceptionally good at making them. And how could you not want a slice? Look at it, it's gorgeous. Considering the snow is lightly falling outside once again, he has no intentions of

[she was currently wandering about, just trying to get used to the immediate surroundings. it wasn't until she had walked a good ways north that it occurred to her that she should try finding the house. she had started from around 5, and worked her way back, noting when 14 appeared.

in-between 13 and 12 was when she smelled something rather sweet and paused.]

Hm...someone must be baking something.

[given the current situation that everyone was in, she couldn't help but marvel at how people could just go about their lives as if nothing happened. it had only been a day for her, but she didn't think she would ever be able to relax quite like that. the village did remind her a little of the Lower Quarter, so she continued her walk, her thoughts drifting and momentarily forgetting her original "mission".

but when she happened to glance at house 12's door, she paused.]

From here?

[how curious. though it may be a bit rude to arrive unannounced, she could at least say hello. so here came Casey, her curiosity growing with every step,

1/2 can't believe you made me edit for this xD

[crisis_rain]

[Hmm? Was that the door? Maybe his cake baking had attracted more than just strange cat people and his housemates. Today seemed like a popular day for baking as it is, he was sure the village probably smelt of the most delicious things you could imagine.

Putting down the knife whilst leaving his "kiss the cook" apron on, he headed over to answer the door.]

2/2

[crisis_rain]

Ok, ok, hold on a second.

[As he opened the door he was taken aback in surprise, an incredible amount of surprise. If he didn't know any better his heart may have completely stopped for a second. As he grabs his chest and tries to regain his breath he looks up towards her.]

Ya... ya scared me.

you know you love me for it.

[divinearrow]

[also startled, though not to the same degree. immediately she reached toward him, especially noticing how he was grabbing his chest like that]

-Raven!? Are you all right? I didn't mean to frighten you like that.

So you gonna kiss the cook or not?

[crisis_rain]

[He pulls back away from her before tidying himself up.]

I didn't expect ya to be visitin' me the next day. Don't worry about it, I'll be fine!

[He's speechless for a moment. She's right there, right in front of him. There's a big difference between seeing someone through a journal camera and seeing them in person. It's the strangest feeling he's ever had, he'd dreamed of seeing her in front of him like this before... but for it to happen.

He's getting sidetracked.]

Oh!... Uh, come in!

do you really have to ask that.

[divinearrow]

Are you sure you're all right? [she really didn't expect him to be quite so...jumpy. he seemed more like a lazy, relaxed man when speaking through the journals. hm. regardless she followed him in.]

Is that a yes :D?

[crisis_rain]

[He quickly looks around outside to make sure she wasn't followed by a certain douchebag, then shuts the door behind her.]

Yeah, it's just this heart of mine, ya know how us old folk get.

But make yerself at home! I already told ya the other people from our world live here too, so mind the mess, there's a lot of us.

negatory.

[divinearrow]

I see... [she's taking a casual glance around. quite a large house.]

Are they here-[she was turning to look back at him when she finally noticed the apron.

have a silent stare before she looks directly at Raven with an arched brow. if anything, that apron cemented whatever image she had of the man.]

:| jerk.

[crisis_rain]

Yup! They sure are, want me to shout to see if anyone comes out ta play?

[He follows her line of sight towards his apron, suddenly feeling a deep amount of regret for chosing this one.]

It's Yuri's apron.

:D

[divinearrow]

Yuri? One of your housemates?

100% THREADJACK APPROVED

[crisis_rain]

Be easier ta meet in then explain it.

[He starts shouting for his housemates.]

HEY! We've got a guest and cake in the living room! Come say hello!

[inabook]

[divinearrow]

[unfortunately, she doesn't see Estelle at first because she's a little busy yelling at a certain old man.]

Raven! There's no need to shout!!

[crisis_rain]

But look! [He points her towards Estelle, poking her head out the door.]

This is Estelle!

[inabook]

[divinearrow]

[and she quickly has to regain her composure as she turns to see the pink haired young woman poking out. there was something rather familiar about the girl, as well as the name. no, it was more than that. also the voice...was the same girl she had spoken to just yesterday. if so then-]

Yes, I am. I am Casey, captain of the Casey Brigade of the Imperial Knights.

[she then paused, once again looking at Estelle] Forgive me but...

Your Highness? Is that you? [while she never really had privy to meet the princess in person, she at least knew of and had seen the then young girl before-if anything by the portraits. there's no doubt they shared the same pink hair, and the faces were rather similar. include the fact that they shared the same name, it wouldn't be too hard to put it together.]
