[And she wanders in, looking at all the cookies, and she doesn't even notice Finnick]

protects_her November 12 2010, 01:08:07 UTC

Hi, there.

[Business is kind of slow at the moment, and there are only so many ways you can keep yourself entertained when you're standing behind a counter. All things considered, Finnick's glad for the distraction of a customer, no matter what age.]

They look pretty good, don't they?

lionesscouchant November 12 2010, 01:15:13 UTC

[She looks up at him and smiles. He doesn't seem to recognize her at all]

Oh, yes. Do you have a favorite?

protects_her November 12 2010, 01:25:31 UTC

[Finnick's seen a lot of kids in his life, many of which were about this girl's age. He's seen a lot of them die, too, which is why he tries hard not to pay too close of attention to their faces. It's easier when they all start to run together.]

The frosted ones, definitely. They're the sweetest.

lionesscouchant November 12 2010, 01:33:32 UTC

Then may I have a box, please? Of fifteen?

protects_her November 12 2010, 01:37:21 UTC

You sure can.

[And with an obviously overdramatic glance around the bakery...]

Which design is your favorite? I'll make sure you get a bunch of that one.

lionesscouchant November 12 2010, 01:37:58 UTC

The sunflower, please.

I don't think I've seen you here before.

protects_her November 12 2010, 01:41:47 UTC

Good choice. The sunflower it is.

Well, this is only my first week. Do you come here often?

lionesscouchant November 12 2010, 01:42:29 UTC

Sometimes I do.

protects_her November 12 2010, 01:47:52 UTC

[Smiling, he retrieves a box and heads over to begin filling it.]

Then you'll probably be seeing more of me. Assuming I don't mess up and get myself fired.

lionesscouchant November 12 2010, 04:50:51 UTC

I can't imagine they would hire you if you were terrible.

protects_her November 12 2010, 05:10:04 UTC

Not terrible, just out of practice. This is the first job I've had in a long time.

lionesscouchant November 12 2010, 05:11:43 UTC

[She smiles]

Well...if you add another cookie to my order on top of the box, I'll make sure to say a good word in your favor.

[Which she'll pay for, of course]

protects_her November 12 2010, 05:15:36 UTC

One for the walk home, huh? I'll make sure it's a sunflower one.

lionesscouchant November 12 2010, 05:23:19 UTC

[She giggles]

Thank you very much.

protects_her November 12 2010, 05:37:38 UTC

[Fifteen cookies later (six of which have sunflowers), he closes up the box and grabs a paper sleeve, sliding one more cookie into it before bringing them both back to the register.]

That's fifteen of our best cookies with one for the walk on top of it, all for the young lady with excellent taste.
