Cupcake?

Lucinda Plinus. Twenty Five. Third Cohort. I can see the future, but it's not looking too bright for me.

“Chocolate honeycomb cupcakes sound like actual heaven. Did you somehow find your way into my dreams and plucked out what my greatest fantasy is?” Leo asked, a teasing grin taking over his face. 

She shot him a wink before bending down till she was eye level with the glass display case, sliding the door open and picking up one of the cakes with the tongs and placing it on the plate in her other hand, “Shh, don’t tell the world my secret! People might start sue for invasion of privacy.”

Staring gently at the cake as if it were someone that she loved or perhaps hated – which really at this point it was – Cat bit her lip and shrugged. “The gods blessed you with a fine skill set then,” she replied with a bright smile before shaking her head politely, “no, thank you for the kind offer but I’ll pass this time. Maybe another time.” 

Lucinda wanted to reply that they owed her something good after all the bad visions but bit her lip and gave the girl a small nonchalant shrug and half smile. “Fair enough, I wont push. That’ll be 2$ please. Or 2 Denarius. Whichever one you prefer to pay with.”

Tayla, despite growing up in Britain and travelling around Europe when she was younger, had never ventured into Italy so Italian cuisine was lost on her. Shrugging she decided to just agree with Lucinda as she had no information to prove it wrong. “Never been to Italy so I wouldn’t know. But I’m sure they’re probably still good in their own way.” She watched as Lucinda moved toward the glass case for a second before pulling out her wallet so she was ready to pay. “I’ll take them to go please. I still have to pick up coffee.” 

“I’ve never known an Italian cuisine to be bad,” she mused with a light smile. She hand to bend down a little to reach the right tray, carefully picking one up and putting it in the white cardboard box quickly followed by the second one. Standing back up Lucinda folded over the flaps and secured the box closed. “Ooo you should try the place three doors up from here, they do the best coffee on the street. But don’t tell my parents I told you that.”

“Thank you,” Cat said with a sweet smile. Shrugging gently, she fiddled with a satchet of sugar that was on the counter in front of her. “Well it is certainly impressive. You do a good job at making it look easy too.” 

As the machine gave it’s warning beep Lucinda placed a mug under the tap just as the liquid began to come out, filling the shop with the scent of coffee. “I guess it’s one of my skills in life,” she said with a smile. Picking up the cup she carried it over to the to counter, pushing it towards Cat. “You sure I can’t interest you in a cake?”

abrakaravadra:

“I’m a sweets man, I have to say. I think I could be convinced to do anything for a good cupcake.” He said with a laugh. “Anything with honey is a good treat to me, too.”

“Oh! I’ve got some really nice chocolate honeycomb cupcakes,” she said, a little excited. It wasn’t every day you could find a cake that seemed to fit all the requirements stated. “Or if you’re after something a little simpler, the flapjack is made with real honey.”

evelynnrousseau:

Eve wasn’t one for sweets but her family had asked her to pick up some stuff and she couldn’t find a good excuse to say no. “Uh yeah what here is the best?” Eve asked, she wasn’t really sure what they sold and then what would be good from it. “I need a dozen of something and I’m really not sure what to get.”

“Well, the doughnuts are always a good choice and they come in an assortment of flavours, or some classic brownies” Lucinda started, her eyes quickly flicking to the clock on the wall and counting in her head. “Or if you want to wait 3 more minutes I have some cinnamon buns due out of the oven.”

Tayla was pleased with herself for actually getting the name right. The first few weeks of settling in had been such a flurry of names being thrown at her and she was still struggling to place all of them to the correct faces around her. But she nodded with a smile as Lucinda guessed hers. “Yeah, that’s me. Jam in the middle? Hm, I’ve always heard of just cutting it and putting jam on yourself but I guess it already being there takes away some of the work.” Looking down to where the croissants were Tayla only surveyed the options for a moment before she flicked her eyes back to Lucinda with a smile. “The chocolate ones sound good. I’ll take two of those.” 

“See that’s what I always thought too! But I think there Italian or something?” She gave a little shrug and shook her head in slight bewilderment. They still tasted as good as a regular one, but they took away part of the fun of adding your own jam she found. “A good choice! Do you want them to go?” Lucinda asked with a smile, already moving over to the back of the glass cases, sliding the door open, a pair of tongs in hand.

“You know, you might have just convinced me, can I just get a black coffee please?” she asked with a sweet smile, the baked goods really looked incredible, but Cat wasn’t going to let herself indulge, but smelling them couldn’t hurt right? “How you work here without putting on weight I will never know, if I had access to this food I’d constantly be eating it.” 

“Coming right up!” She said with a wide smile and turning to the back wall where the coffee machine was set up. While spooning in the coffee and pressing the button to start it up Lucinda looked over his shoulder to reply to Cat, “Honestly, I don’t know how I do it either. Though I guess all the training helps. And my dad starts to make me pay for things after my second slice of cake.”

Glancing up at the counter, Cat noticed Lucinda. Smiling gently at her Cat shrugged. “I don’t have anything that I really need,” she explained, “but everything smelled so nice that I just couldn’t help myself. I had to come in and have a look around this place.” She moved from the door to the counter. Her face remaining the perfect mask that it always was. 

“Well, you’re always welcome to buy a coffee and just bask in the scents of baked goods. I’ll even give you the wifi password,” she said with a light grin. “But I am going to suggest the lemon drizzle cake. It’s amazing.”

The sight of fresh baking in the windows had been what enticed Tayla into entering the shop and she took a whiff of the mingling scents as she opened the door. A smile instantly graced her lips and she looked around, but her sight flicked over to the girl behind the counter when she heard a cheerful voice greeting her. She recognized the girl immediately as one from her cohort, though not one she had necessarily made much of a effort to interact with yet. “Oh, hey. It’s Lucinda, right?” She was fairly certain that was the brunette’s name, but she asked anyway just on the off chance she was wrong. “Um yeah, do you have any croissants?”  

She didn’t know Taylr well, they were the same cohort sure, but there was a lot of people and no one could be blamed for not knowing everyone well. “Yeah, hey. Tayla, right?” Lucinda asked, pointing at her a little lazily with one hand, the other resting on the countertop. “Oh course we have croissants! You can’t call yourself a bakery and not have them. After a classic or something with a little extra in? We’ve got some chocolate ones, raisins and I think there’s some with jam in the middle.” Which she still found odd, but who was she to judge.

abrakaravadra:

Leo loved baked goods. There really wasn’t anything that couldn’t be fixed right up with a nice muffin or something of the sort. Food and painting were the way into Leo’s heart. “Yes, please! I don’t know what to get. I know I want something, just not sure what yet. Any suggestions?” He glanced down at the scone and looked back up to her with a sheepish smile,“I can come back after you eat. I’d feel bad making you wait to have your scone.”

Lucinda shook her head at him and put the knife down, “No, no, it’s okay. My scones not going anywhere,” she said with a smile. “Hm, well are you feeling something sweet or something a little more savoury? That’s where I always start when I don’t know what I want.”

solarpoweredsebastian:

“Yeah, hi, I was uh,” Sebastian came to a pause, looking up at the menu. “I’ve never been here before, thought I’d try you guys for breakfast. What do you recommend?” The brunette came forward to the counter and smiled at her. 

She waited patiently for him to stop speaking and tilted her head in thought for a moment, “I always like to go for the pancakes. But my dad normally makes them and he’s not here so...” she trailed off with a little hm. “French toast it always a good time?” She suggested. 

[lucindaplinius]

In Lucinda’s own humble opinion, saturday mornings were the best mornings of the week. For one, she got a lie in. For two, her dad always made the nicest fruit scones. Sure it was partly bribery to get her to work for a few hours so that her parents could do something, but Lucinda wasn’t complaining yet. During a lull in customers the brunette was just spreading cream onto half of her scone when the little bells above the door chimed to signal it opening. “Hi, can I help you with anything?” She asked, a bright smile on her face.

solarpoweredsebastian:

He moved past the trip wire, looking down to see where it was, then dropping his bow and quiver onto a table. “Is that what you were planning to do, rest up while we do all the work?” Sebastian smirked and looked around. “Well, we might have to do some work if we’re gonna protect ourselves. What weapons do you have?”

“Maybe. You know I enjoy the planning more than the actual game, is it much of a surprise?” She asked with a raised brow. Part of her wanted to be annoyed at having to face the possibility of interacting with the opposite team but there was no kicking up out of her corner now. “A few swords, extra arrows. Couple more rolls of wire and rope. Some weird blue flash bomb I might have borrowed with the forges,” she shrugged, gesturing around her for him to take a look himself.

sonxfcupid:

Callum listened and chewed his lower lip, hands on his hips. She was right, they were demigods and regardless of how absurd the thought was, maybe it wasn’t a dream and it had actually happened and he had actually met his dad again. 

The issue wasn’t fearing it never happened, but rather being worried that it did happen. His father found it okay to just take away people’s free will for the greater good, for fate or whatever he believed in. This brought the question to mind if you were given such gifts, and if your father does it, why not use them to your own advantage? It was his godly right.

“Thanks Lucinda, but I really didn’t want it to be true. I saw Cupid and he showed me a few things about the past, and – and I really shouldn’t have seen them…” 

She frowned slightly at, that hadn’t been what she expected him to say. A visit from a godly parent was rare, and from what she had heard never really meant anything good. And clearly what ever Cupid had shown his son had him freaked. Lucinda didn’t think she was that good at advice giving, and normally it was pretty bad advice when she did give it. But she could at least try and help out here, right? “Are we talking personal things or about the world or? And how do you know you shouldn’t have seen it?”
