@roseteinteĀ { CECIL ! } || cont from {x}
She practically throws herself in front of the mirror, double checking her appearance. Her tail, fluffy. Her ears, twitching, but thereās not a strand of fur thatās sticking out of place. Not that she can see, anyway. Eyes, bright, everything perfect! She can almost hear Cassiaās voice in background, āEl, youāre glowing you know. Why, you should jump up on stage right now!ā
Does she have everything she wants to bring? Yeah, itās all set to go in her trusty pack! Itās just extra, small baking equipment sheās not sure if he has... Sheās been bouncing with excitement ever since they agreed to bake something together, just something simple. Of course, sheās no stranger to baking; this little rabbit is a pro! But thereās something real special about making a⦠could you call it a house call? Bakers donāt really do all that⦠but this is just friends helping friends, right? Absolutely!
Really, Eloise is glad to have gotten to know the townās librarian better. Since she frequents the library, sheās wanted to be familiar with him at least, but to actually be friends, and to help him out, thatās a lot better. Itās not as though ruckuses in the library havenāt been caused around her⦠even if itās often not her fault, but the case of others around her, she still wants to make it up to Cecil.
Sheāll do her best to make sure this pie turns out to be really good!
Quickly, she leaves her house and hops right over to Cecilās. The town isnāt big, so sheās there in no time! Is she there early? Probably, but she absolutely didnāt want to be late for this very, very important⦠day! Time to knock, knock, knock..! She doesnāt do it with too much force, but that doesnāt mean she isnāt moving fast, light on her feat, humming as she awaits Cecil. She hears lots of movement, and then a pause, before the doorknob finally moves. There..!
--am here, Mister Cecil..!
Had been what she planned on saying, but her words are cut off as the door closes again. She blinks. Is everything okay? Is he okay? That had been him, right? What happened? Is she here too early? Had she been the wrong person? No⦠Cecil seems like the person that wouldnāt mix schedules, huh? Then... Wait, did he change his mind about wanting her here? He.. wouldnāt do that either, would he? Hmm...Ā she tilts her head. Should she knock again?
Certainly sheās confused! But⦠oh! The door is opening again, thank goodness!
āThatās okay! I am a little early!ā She laughs, honestly glad everything is okay. āSo⦠Yes, letās get started! Thank you for having me over!ā And carefully, Eloise enters Cecilās residence. Itās very nice! Very suiting to him, she thinks. Itās very homey.
She follows him to the kitchen, eyes darting around the area after she sets down her supplies, examining the space theyāre working with, when his question hits her. Check the pack for the⦠the⦠apron..! How could she, a baker, forget her trusty apron? Thatās right⦠in her hurry to get outside, she left the one she meant to bring, neatly, on her rack. She meant to put in her pack with the rest of her things, but she ended up scurrying too fast to recall it.
āI⦠left it at home. Seems I bounced over here in such a rush⦠But I really didnāt want to late at all! You really never know what sort of foot traffic awaits a bunnyā¦ā There really is a lot of that⦠Considering all the recent events and all. But..! Heās offering one of his! Should she take it..? Sheā¦
Iād love to borrow one! Itās much better than suddenly jumping home to get mine⦠Thatād be rude!
āIāll borrow one, if you really donāt mind, Mister Cecil! Thank you very much!ā She moves to the rack, looking over all the ones hanging, before she grabs one and puts it on over her clothes. Now sheās ready for business, for sure! She whirls back around, looking directly at Cecil, and⦠oh, she notices that the aprons are rather similar, which makes sense, considering they both belong to him⦠Fitting, if theyāre going to be baking together, in the same place, then itās kind of like a uniform, right? Actually, itās more⦠wouldnāt that be a couple thing? Her parents did that sort of thing too, now that she thinks about itā¦
Which is precisely why sheās going to stuff those thoughts back down in the hole! She has to have a clear head to bake right! Well⦠Thereās always all that āLoveās a secret ingredient that makes everything taste better!ā But! But! But!! She has to bake! Alongside Cecil! Sheās got this! For sure!
She shakes her head and smacks her cheeks, stretches out her arms and does a small hop for her legs. Cecilās ready, so she is too!
āYes! Apple pieās a classic, and itās really simple to make! We donāt wanna go too tough, when this is supposed to be fun.ā She wants Cecil to enjoy baking after all, and a tried and true recipe is just what she needs in this situation to make sure things really go smoothly! āIām sure itāll turn out well if we work together, and do our best! To start⦠We need to make the dough!ā Well, first she moves to wash her hands, and then she gets cracking with measuring out the basis to the dough. āWe put this together and mix it up..!ā
