[Sitting at a small table inside the shop, a small smudge of flour on her nose. A small glass terrarium sits on the tabletop, and with three brightly colored butterflies inside. (Two pink, one teal if you're looking.)]

Just an eff-why-eye that Elric and Summers Muffin Alchemy Incorporated is fully incorporational again. I mean operationalFor those

Do you have any peach muffins?

Also... what's a bee-eff-eff corner?

[girl_unlocking]

Nope, but I can make them!

Peach, huh? That sounds kind of ...good. Much more than what I've been working on, anyway.

Oh! Best Friends Forever! It was an inspiration thing. Just a nice place where some people can sit and together. Maybe warm their feet if they feel like it.

Special teacups are optional.

[ looks... pleasantly surprised! ] Really, you'd do that?

Oh... I see! What if you don't have a bee-eff-eff, can you still sit in the corner?

[girl_unlocking]

Never waste an opportunity for things that are possibly yummy, I say. Well, actually it's my first time saying it just now but it seems to be a pretty good philosophy.

I think they have peaches at the market.

Oh! Are you a sugar person or a non sugar person?

The corner's sittable for regular friends, too. Or for those flying solo lupo. [Forgive her slightly sad expression. She's hoping that use of the phrase will maybe lure Ezio out of hiding. Because he's just ...hiding, right?]

[girl_unlocking]

We do okay. Those blondes eat like ...pretty much never, so it's no big. And I've gotta keep the prices low for the Anatolians. You know, fostering goodwill and all that?

What would you do?

[Voice]

[girl_unlocking]

A discount on larger quantities. That's good. Really good.

And you've got a point about the newbies, too. For a while there was a welcome committee. Baskets. The whole shebang. I'm not really sure I wanna go down that road again, but that's not to say I can't make flyers telling them to stop in.

We could keep track of them by their Forge ID's, maybe?

Yeah. And maybe ...just on Mondays for the Patrol?

You're selling the muffin named after me...officially? Aw, man. I'm...flattered. But you know, even though I'm with the Police Division of the Patrol now, I'll still pay for the muffins I get! It's only fair.

[Private]

Don't pick fights with Malfatto, Dawn. I know it's hard. But please, you've got to try.

[Video]

[girl_unlocking]

Yup. Been selling it a while unofficially, but poof. Official. With sparkles. It's a crowd favorite.

It's fair, I guess. Far be it from me to turn do---

[private]

N-not you too. I don't understand. How can you say that?

[video]

[malfattore]

Come now, I'm sure there's a cyanide-laced muffin somewhere in your little shop set aside for me.

{sigh}

Don't wet yourself, I won't be bothering your business, dear.

[video]

[samianscar]

Blast. Was really hoping you'd try.

[video]

[malfattore]

You know, I usually hate to disappoint. Usually.

My profound apologies.

[samianscar]

[cheerfully]

Rain check on bludgeoning you with your own beak, then! …Or other things, if suit your fancy. Lots o' uses for pointed things. I've got some pals who taught me the darndest tricks.

The Kunsel?

[ He might be a bit amused. ]

[ video ]

[girl_unlocking]

Yup! It's snappy. Well, gingersnappy, anyway.

[ video ]

[swordofmiltia]

Really? You only serve muffins, is that right?

[ video ]

[girl_unlocking]

There's a rogue cupcake or two.
