Ryou adjusted the large amount of groceries that he was carrying. He was starting to think of shopping ever couple of days instead of once a week. He looked down to adjust the bags before he ran into someone. Ryou was knocked to his bump due to the momentum, wincing a bit before he looked up to see who he bumped into, his cabbit ears a bit easier to see in his current position but still relatively hidden.
Atem had his head down, the wind was getting harsher. If it hadn’t been gusting so strongly, he would have likely seen the other before plowing into him. “Oh Gods. I am so sorry.” Atem said offering his hand and beginning to pick up the scattered contents of the bags. “I cannot believe I was so entirely clumsy. Please acc-” Atem stopped, catching a glimpse of Ryou’s ears. He shook his head, trying not to gape. “Accept…my ah, apologies.” He finished lamely.
"Ah Well to be honest I don’t remember it all that well… the accident was what happened before getting my ears… well and my tail" Ryou said as he looked towards his butt, more specifically his tail bone. Though while he glanced back, he ended up rubbed his wrists a bit due to thinking back to that night. Ryou shivered lightly before he answered the other’s next question "Ah, Yes I did. I enjoy baking and cooking. I bake whenever I have the chance", smiling lightly as it looked like the other was enjoying the cookie.
Atem tried his best not to look at the other’s butt, he truly did, but a tail? Was it a cat tail to match the ears. Where the ears even a cats? They seemed a little different, but everyone he knew with ears and a tail were nekos. He had so many questions, but he wasn’t sure if they would be construed as rude or not.
He grinned. “I too enjoy baking. There is something about the presicion of it that makes it wonderful.” Baking had structure, unlike cooking which was a hodge podge of elements you could manipulate. “I have been focusing on pies as of late.”
Ryou nodded lightly. That was an interesting way to look at it “It’s something that I used to do with my mother when she was alive. It makes me feel close to her when I do those things though my father didn’t really approve.” Ryou said before pushing the thoughts of the man from his head. “Pies? What Kind of pies?” Ryou asked as he moved and took a seat at the table. It would be hard to see his tail as it looked like a rabbit tail though Ryou knew he wasn’t a rabbit due to his ears.
"All kinds really." He said with a excited tone. "Fruit, chocolate. I made a butterscotch walnut banana one that was so good, I might have cried." Naturally he was teasing, but gods that pie was good. "Perhaps I will bake you one. I am always looking for people to test my new flavors on. Perhaps someday I will open a bakery." He said wistfully with a grin on his face, momentarily forgetting about Ryou’s tail.
Ryou giggled a bit at the other's excitement. It was different to see someone so excited about pies. "Sounds Delicious, I look forward to trying one if you make me one" Ryou murmured with a smile as he watched the male. "If you do open a bakery, will you sell cream puff?" Ryou asked, not being able to help but wonder. Cream Puffs were his favorite food after all.
