✘ closed starter for @ellixsss
after coming up short in his hunt for ice, apollo had almost given up completely. maybe it was better he just dealt with the pain in his ribs -- served him right. he was just about to find his sister to tell her he was going home when he saw a shadow in the window of the bakery. at first, he thought it was just a figment of his imagination, but as he grew closer, he saw that it was ellie. with furrowed brows, he made his way to the storefront, knocking once on the glass before pointing towards the door. was it the best idea for him to be walking into her bakery like this after everything? probably not. but he could tell that something was bothering ellie and he wanted to make sure she was okay, the throbbing pain in his ribs completely forgotten at this point. he entered the bakery and took a seat next to ellie by the window, mimicking her position by placing his own forehead against the class. “why so glum, chum?” he shifted slightly so that he was facing her better, the movement causing him to wince, but he quickly brushed it off. “it’s your bakery and you’ll cry in it if you want to, huh?”
