Olivia began to set out the ingredients she knew she and Gaius would need for baking. Flour, fresh eggs, a few different kinds of fruit, some cocoa she bought in the market, and of course a generous amount of sugar. Because she knew Gaius well enough, that he would require a lot of this. It wasn't decided on exactly what they were going to bake, but she figured she had enough items that they would be able to come up with something good.

She began to get the bowls and spoons out. Gaius should be showing up shortly. The dancer had ran into him earlier that day to decided to time of baking. Since it had to do with sweets, she had no doubt that he would be on time, if not a little early. 

((LMAO I HATE TUMBLR WHEN IT DOES THAT. unfortunately no, other than making tons of posts, that’s the only way tumblr knows how to stfu))

It was a sunny afternoon and Lissa decided to take a trip to the nearby marketplace alone. Etiquette classes dragged on for far too long and even the musty, busy area of the market was a breath of fresh air to Lissa and her pin-pricked fingers. She was not the best at embroidery, and probably never would be unless you counted her threads, frayed beyond recovery.

Because of the weather, today was an especially crowded day and personal space while meandering about the market did not exist. There was one person always within an inch of Lissa, and many bumped into her without even saying sorry! How rude. People were speeding past at every direction, knowing exactly where they were going. Lissa felt like maybe she chose the wrong day to come, mostly because she was just looking. But too many people were bargaining too close to the stands to just window shop.

Someone bumped into Lissa so hard it almost sent her to the ground. "H-Hey!" She grumbled, trying to regain her balance. Attempting to sneak away into a less people-dense area, she instinctively gripped her pendant so it didn't swing, but it wasn't there! She first looked to the ground, but there were too many feet, it was impossible to find something so small amongst them. Could it have gotten stolen?

Lissa quickly spun around a few times, not sure what to be looking for, but keeping an eye out for someone suspicious. In the crowd, she spotted Gaius in the distance, who she promptly marched up to and stuck out her hand. 

"W-What do you mean 'oh well'!?"

Chrom has noticed that Gaius had raided the candy pantry again, and that was his reply to it? Sometimes, chrom would grow angry with the theif, but it wasn't veryoften. He let out a small sigh before talking to him again, still keeping a stern tone upon his voice.
