From @madamhatter / (Sophie was forced to fill this out.)

"No matches, hm." The high spirit can virtually hear her peaceful tone dejected, notwithstanding how difficult it is for almost anyone else to recognize her genuine feelings.  "Perhaps you'll find someone who will meet all those qualifications, Ayden." She maintains the blond's eyes while smiling sweetly at him. Despite this fact, she resumes reading her papers as if someone or something advised her not to stare. ↳ Bingo Card! | Accepting

          "..." She's avoiding eye contact. Winter doesn't like that. It may be unnoticable to most, but he picks out how flat her tone falls. Its that matter-of-fact like speech used when put in a circumstance outside of her control. A sign of resignation, he had long since realized. 

                                                                          Winter did not like that.

          Winter walks past her and the chair she's seated on as if to leave. Yet instead of doing so, he merely steps behind to loom over her. He bends down to her, wrapping his arms around her and burying his face in her neck. After a moment, he speaks, cool breath nipping at the skin. 

Morning After || Accepting! @madamhatter

Izumi stirred softly in her sleep, cracking an eye open to stare at Sophie. The woman must have tried getting up and found herself to still be unsteady. The dragon slowly sat up, groaning and stretching out a bit, much like a cat might when it woke up from a nap. Though it was incredibly obvious that Izumi looked rather pleased with herself.

"Mmm...I did warn you, but you were the one who were all 'well, why don't we work on giving Seraph a sibling'. Though I suppose that means you'll just have to lay in bed and get some rest for once, yes?"

Izumi smirked as she stood up and got out of bed.

"Waho." Wamdus greets Sophie with her same enthusiastic-lack-of-enthusiasm. In one of her hands, she is holding an empty bowl. "Sophi. I found something new. Wanna try?" It's absolutely within their capability to do so, and this way of consumption seems fun. "I was looking at some places in Auguste." Not that the cursed-woman-elderly-child-forced-to-grow-too-fast would know where Auguste is. The dragon ignores it, smiling confidently. "It is called shaved ice. The shopkeeper told me it is very refreshing." And she would be right. Usually. As the wedge manipulates water - first creating it, then turning it into ice and in the second moment shattering it into something akin to crushed ice - she looks very proud of herself. "Tada. You should try it. I had some in Auguste. It is very effective against the heat." Except what she offers to Sophie is simply ice. The fact that you drizzle syrup to make it actually taste like anything seems to have completely escaped her.

In exchange, Makoto's salt and sugar has both been replaced with malic acid ☆

And later that day when Makoto goes to season a nice, juicy burger -- using the salt, he's not insane enough to put sugar on meat -- he made out of ground beef he splurged on, and after he cooks it...

"How is it this sour?! Didn't I use salt--" He tasted the "salt" he used.

@madamhatter asked:  🍰 - What is a dessert you can't get enough of?

Munday Questions - Accepting!

My usual favorite desserts are all sorts of French patisserie! I love macarons and individually-sized mousses, cakes, etc. For Disney fans, Amorette’s in Disney Springs/Disney World is basically my dessert weakness on every trip I take. I cannot go to Disney World without snagging a treat from Amorette’s and a glass of champagne.

Other patisserie I like:

The Rose St. Honore from Laduree

The Mont Blanc from Angelina

But my favorite dessert of all time?

...Cannoli. Which is why I laughed out loud (really!) when I saw @causalitylinked​’s muse ask what they were in a thread. Fun fact: a must-try dessert I had to have in New York City was a giant cannolo and it wasn’t as good as the more normal-sized ones. But it was a novelty experience!

A good cannolo (or multiple cannoli) is a transcendent experience. Right alongside their softer, pastry-like cousins, cartocci.
