Strawberry Cake Roll! Strawberry Cake Roll! WOOO!
Gaius was too excited to get started on his little quest for the day. One of his colleagues happened to be a fellow sweets enthusiast and told him of a neat little recipe to make the cutest dessert. It doesn’t help the man was a brilliant story teller and made Gaius drool just by hearing how his wife made the dessert and what the outcome was. He doesn’t know much about his colleague but he considers him a lucky guy. To think he has himself a pretty wife that makes him delicious cake... Gaius was almost jealous if it weren’t for the fact he can just make his own. Ha! Who needs a wife?
Gaius bought the ingredients he needs, still not tired of strawberries even if he frequently uses it as a main ingredients for everything he bakes over the last few weeks. He never made cake rolls... but it doesn’t seem too complicated. All he needs to make sure of is he makes a killer filling. The rest should be a piece of cake.
And, true enough, it was.
It doesn’t take him too long to eventually finish up. There before him was a cute ass strawberry cake roll-- it looked almost too good to eat, but of course Gaius was still going to eat it! “Come to Papa~” As he was about to slice his masterpiece, he hears the kitchen doors opening.
Now, normally, Gaius wouldn’t mind. It’s not like he comes here illegally and swipes ingredients-- okay, maybe he does sometimes. Still, people come and go the kitchen. It’s normal!
It’s just... after the whole piemageddon thing, every time he comes here to bake, the kitchen staff would look at him suspiciously as if the pake he was making was going to be used for chaos once again. He’s innocent, geez!
But because of these events over the last few days, the moment he heard someone entering, Gaius quickly grabbed his cake roll and ducked down to hide.
Shit, why am I hiding??? I baked cake!! He realizes this a little too late, but to pop up now would just be... too damn weird. He stays in place and tries to keep his ears open for the movement of whoever he entered so he can move away accordingly. He’s an experienced thief. This should be easy. Stealth mission, let’s go!
