An all too humored smile immediately placed itself on Hannah’s face, chuckling at the sight of the cute trio that she’d already been getting used to; even beginning to look forward to them coming in. Each time the two girls entered her shop it was a memorable event, their eager and bright faces reminding her of when her own Lucy was that age.
“Well, hello girls! It’s lovely to see you today!” she greeted with a laugh, smiling down at the two of them as they ogled happily at her array of treats. Large glass containers, freshly stocked and decorated, were pleasing to the eye; she could hardly blame them for their excitement!
Smile turning upward to meet the father, she gave a friendly wave; hoping to let him know that his adorable girls weren’t any trouble at all. In fact, Hannah wished children would come in more often, “Oooh, spicing things up with blueberry I see! Well, lucky for you, Mistral and the girls just finished those pies, so they’re nice and fresh!”
Already preparing their order, Hannah kept her gaze on the girls’ father, a warm and knowing look in her eye, “Little girls- what can you do? My daughter still gets the same way around these goodies, and I’ve been working here for years now! Somehow the excitement over freshly baked goods never dulls for them~”
he nods when he sees her waving at him, chuckles breaking out as the three of them listen to her rather cheery response, ❝ hear that, girls ? she says they got fresh pies ! ❞ they should’ve expected it, but the CHEER that comes at the revelation would melt the heart of the coldest bastard. or at least, that might’ve been his BIAS talking. since he had a pretty hard time believing anyone wouldn’t be absolutely smitten with them after spending only a couple minutes in their presence.
hand comes to rest on edith’s head as he speaks, saying ❝ go see if there’s anything ELSE you guys want, yeah ? ❞ as he gestures for them to look around the place so he could finish ordering stuff in peace-- or god knows how many more things would be added to the list ( & they all knew a pie was all the sugar they needed for a WHILE ).
eyes watch over the two as they RUN to the other side of the bakery, admiring the various treats. it amused him how they’d go around & get greeted other customers, who also recognised them due to their continuous visits ( only going to show just how much ATTENTION they drew to themselves ). said gaze only moves when hannah starts speaking, immediately understanding what the look meant.
& with the understanding comes a heartfelt LAUGHTER ( with a warm smile to match )-- since really, any talk about the girls is enough to brighten his spirits, regardless of the day, ❝ HA, you’re right ! before you know it, they got you wrapped around their tiny little pinkies. the stuff here is good-- i could see why they’d never get tired of it. you should HEAR how much they talk about your guys’s baked things when at home. it’s almost like they don’t know what else to talk about ! ❞
