So, sure, maybe she’d messed up. Maybe she’d forgotten she’d promised Rei that she’d bake a gingerbread house over the weekend, for the Kahi’s autumn decorations. Maybe now she only had, like, a few hours to produce an entirely decorated gingerbread house. So, maybe she’d dragged Kai into the whole mess in the hopes that they’d be helpful.
Flora flipped the sign on the door over to ‘CLOSED’, not wanting to deal with, like, a million customers while she was trying to become a bakery architect. While she waited for Kai to show up - hopefully they could get ready fast, since she’d messaged them pretty much out of the blue - she started to dig through the back cupboards to find the shit they needed. The baking shit was mostly Rei’s realm, and she felt like she was handling sacred artefacts as she laid out the whisk, rolling pin and baking trays. Finally, the door jangled, and she glanced up, clearly relieved, “Hey, it’s my favourite co-worker! Ready to make some gingerbread, kiddo?”
