It's another wonderful day like any other of any other Moon in Garreg Mach Monastery, the sun shining onto its majestic spires and the Academy's large campus. Two students of said Academy were going about their day as usual, unaware that this day in particular would change their lives and quite literally shape them forever.
Dorothea was making her way through the gardens, a soft smile on her lips as she basked in the sun's rays, a delighted hum escaping her when they hit her just right. She was a sight to behold, a Goddess among mortals, or better yet a star, a diva. As she strolled, though, her nose caught a positively delicious smell and, licking her lips, she couldn't help but give into the urge for a treat, following the delicious aroma to the communal kitchens where she found a familiar blonde.
"Ah, you must be Mercedes from the Lions, right? Apologies if I'm intruding, I caught the smell of whatever it is you are preparing and I simply HAD to follow it here, if even just to know what it may be and who to pay my compliments to."
Another day in the Monastery, another day at the Mess Hall baking wonderful treats for the hardworking knights, custodians, and anyone else who could use a lovely treat! Mercedes von Martritz was fanning her face a bit after retrieving a fresh batch of cookies from one of the stoves. Mm... a lovely spread of chocolate about them, oooh if they weren't piping hot and still a little gooey she would risk a bite right now~!
Mm, but whats this? Someone was coming in from the gardens entrance... the lovely brunette student from the Black Eagles? Goddess... Mercedes had to confess her feelings for both sexes, and this woman piqued her interests quite a bit... but who was she kidding. Certainly she was too old to catch the interest of such a girl, right?
"Oooh! Well hello, Yes I am Mercedes! And i'm not terribly surprised, I nearly braved the skin of my fingers to try a bite early! Silly me. I've got a fresh batch of cookies here, and another ready to hit the stove after a few additions. Would you be willing to help, Miss? I can promise a tasty reward for the assistance~"
