The day had started out very badly indeed. Genis had woken up, put on his robes, his prefect's badge and his shoes and headed into the Ravenclaw Common Room, only to trip headlong over someone's cat and fall down the stairs. He glared at the animal as it looked at him from the top of the landing. "Rotten cat." He growled, dusting himself off and heading away.
He'd had to give three students detention and gotten very dirty looks from all of them and as he left, he could have sworn he heard something about 'revenge', but when he looked back, the students had gone. The rest of the day had been .....annoying. Peeves, the annoying poltergeist had thrown ink at him, soaking him from head to toe in it and forcing him to shower off, causing him to arrive at History of Magic late.
The evening however, proved to be perfectly fine. Right up until he encountered the three students he'd given detention to. One of them, he wasn't sure who, fired a leg locker curse at him and he toppled down the stairs, knocking into a girl on his way down and landing hard on top of her. He was dazed and dizzy, his eyes were closed and his head and throbbing. His fingers slowly flexed and he frowned as he felt something "Squishy?" he muttered and opened his eyes. "Oh damn." he whispered, going pink, realizing he was squeezing the girl's boobs.
"I DIDN'T MEAN IT!" He yelled, and now that the curse had been taken off his legs, he leaped up, stepping on the girl's stomach by accident. "Dammit. SORRY!" and he scrambled away, chasing after the three boys and shaking his fists, swearing at them in many different langauges, Japanese, Russian and German being the most frequently used.
A couple hours later......
"Thanks you guys!" Genis said brightly as he left the Kitchen, a small cardboard box in his arms, stuffed full of various ingredients, mostly spices and fresh things like milk, eggs, flour and the like. He'd mostly forgotten about the rather humiliating encounter with that girl, and he was on his way to the Room of Requirement to cook up something tasty. As he walked, he spotted movement and glanced over his shoulder, then frowned, seeing the girl again.
".............If you want to kick my ass, can you at least wait until AFTER I've had a last meal?" He inquired calmly, as if asking about the weather.

Patricia was balancing a poorly crafted pile of textbooks. Several small volumes built up into the bulky top. The mound tumbled on a weak foundation and it felt as though the thin muscles of her arms would snap with the strain. Letting out a whooping breath she struggled, her toes peeking out over the top step. A ruddy color flooded the skin of her cheeks. Patsy wasn't one for lifting heavy books or rather lifting anything at all. She supposed it was something rather pathetic; after all she was a young body and as her mother put it 'capable' of many feats. But alas, Patricia was stronger in mind than body. A strand of black hair brushed along the outskirts of her eyes. She blinked rapidly at the stinging sensation hoping to clear the pain away. Patsy gave a sharp twitch of her head and the curl bounced back into place, free from her line of vision. She gave a satisfied smile and once more began to dismount.
And the next thing she knew she was falling. The thuds of broad textbooks echoed through the corridor, falling heavily onto the ground. The rough grit of stone scrapped her back and she blearily gazed up at the ceiling above. Rolling images of stairs close-up flashes through her mind intermixed with muffled shouts. But what baffled Patsy the most was the weight upon her chest. Had she strung her bra too tight? And suddenly it was too clear. A Ravenclaw boy had her pinned to the floor, his hands clutched upon her particularly feminine forms. It was too much. Startled and highly confused at the series of events that had unfolded in mere seconds, she screamed. The sharp wave pierced across the hallway, bouncing off the portraits and stone gargoyles. It felt as though all the air pent up within her lungs had blown out in a great burst.
Patsy made to shove his arms away and sit up, mouth parted in horror when he suddenly leaped off. His heel dug deep into her stomach and she gave a shrill gasp, falling back. Stars swam in pretty colors around her head. For a moment she was still. Not a sound bustled through the hall. A dark cloud began to forge around her flushed corpse, growing thick with mounting heat. And she rose from the dead, sea-green orbs sparking.
*several hours later*
Trudging through the corridor Patsy held a hand to her bruised stomach. It gurgled pitifully and tumbled. She patted it softly. Due to a lengthy study session where she had burrowed herself within the library the Slytherin had failed to attend dinner. She needed to seek out food. Her poor stomach had suffered enough abuse for the day. It did not need to sleep on empty. She was moping around in her muddied thoughts when some addressed. She paused perplexed. "Huh...wha-!?" she breathed.
Her eyes honed in on a boy-the same Ravenclaw who had sent her toppling down the stairs only to crush her upper respiratory. She dead-panned, lips stretching tight. She knew how to extract payment for her dented pride. Lifting her chin upwards darkness fell upon her face; a cold gleam in her shone out. "Food first, then arse kicking," she hissed pointing towards his box. "You owe it to my stomach." Finality edged her words like a sharp knife.

".....Fine." Genis said, "Follow me." and he headed off, glancing back over his shoulder at her he said "I really am sorry. I didn't mean it. See..... I'm a Prefect and I gave some students a detention for jinxing people." He explained, "I went about my way and then, as I was walking by, they sprang out of nowhere and then performed a leg locker curse on me. That's why I fell." He paced back and forth in front of the proper area. "I naturally threw out my hands to break my fall. It wasn't my fault nor yours that we were both in the wrong place at the wrong time. I didn't ..... I didn't realize what I was uh.....gripping." He said, blushing scarlet again. "I had my eyes closed and I didn't mean to step on your stomach, I ....I panicked."
He opened his door into the Room of Requirement and held it in place with his foot. "After you." He said quietly and then, entered the room after her. Inside, was a professional kitchen, filled with all sorts of cooking things, most of them were muggle, but some were magical.
"I'm making creme brulle, stew, a salad and my specialty, triple fudge cake." he said coolly and then thought up a hat and plopped it onto his head. He went to a sink and began washing his hands, all the way up to his elbows. He glanced over at the girl, "....I'm Genis Sage." he said, "If you want me to make you anything special, then let me know now because once I get started, then I don't want to change things." he told her.
Once he'd finished washing and drying his hands, he began taking things from the box and spreading it all out on a huge counter behind him. Filling a pot with water, Genis put it over a magical stove and then he took vegetables first, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, chives and potatoes and carried them to another area of the counter. He took a long, sharp knife and then began chopping up the food at such a speed that his hands were almost a blur. He'd sweep minced pieces of veggies into the pot and then, added fresh milk and plenty of spices until the room was filled with the wonderful smell of various spices, all mixing together perfectly.
He then took a small package of raw meat from the box and began chopping it up as well and he rubbed more spices into the meat, kneading and pressing it inside. Then, he tossed it a pan with olive oil, gave it a flip as he added salt and then let it all settle and fry for a bit as he put a lid on top of the pan.
Turning to face the girl, he blinked "What?" He asked, looking up at her, for at four foot ten, he was rather short for a fifteen year old boy.

"...Fine. Follow me. I really am sorry. I didn't mean it. See..... I'm a Prefect and I gave some students a detention for jinxing people. I went about my way and then, as I was walking by, they sprang out of nowhere and then performed a leg locker curse on me. That's why I fell. I naturally threw out my hands to break my fall. It wasn't my fault nor yours that we were both in the wrong place at the wrong time. I didn't ..... I didn't realize what I was uh.....gripping. I had my eyes closed and I didn't mean to step on your stomach, I ....I panicked."
His apology went almost unnoticed. Patricia was absorbed on the thought of freshly prepared morsels and her mouth watered, drooping slightly on its hinges. Her eyes never left the box in his hands. Patsy's lips unintentionally jutted out in a fat pout. In sync with his words, as though switched on automatic, Patsy bobbed her head. She didn't fully comprehend his exact points and only distinguished a faint whispers over the rumbling of her stomach. She rolled on her heels thinking of all sorts of goodies that the Ravenclaw was possibly holding. Various pots and pans for delicate crafted casseroles? Or perhaps it held something more perplex as secret ingredients for a family dish made of lobster. She swallowed. It had been quite some time since she had last had seafood. Rather it had been hours since she had last eaten at all. Patsy loved food. She ate a lot. "Uhhh-huh," exhaled Patsy, lost in flavorful thought. "After you."
Patricia jolted, brought out from her stupor. She blinked having forgotten exactly where she was. Her vision honed in on the boy and the cramping bruise stamped upon her stomach twitched. She winced and nodded. Yes she remembered now. Hungry but sedated she waltzed within the Room of Requirement peering around in playful curiosity. The thought of impending food had eased her rising inner grouch. Patsy surveyed the space with delight. Long rows of metallic pots lined the walls and other sorts of magical cookware had graced the kitchen area. She had never thought to use the Room of Requirement for such a purpose and felt the fool; it was a genius idea! That was if you enjoyed cooking, to say the least. Patsy always burnt food when cooking out of a fear of germs. The only meat she ate relatively raw was steak. Everything else was made to suffer death by charcoal.
"I'm making creme brulle, stew, a salad and my specialty, triple fudge cake. ....I'm Genis Sage. If you want me to make you anything special, then let me know now because once I get started, then I don't want to change things."
The string of delicacies caused her ears to perk. She peered curiously beneath dark lashes at him. His name was familiar. She just couldn't put her finger on it. Before she could dwell farther on the subject her gut gave a great heave, rumbling like thunder through the room. Patsy hunched over wincing. "Yes, yes, fine and dandy!" she giggled breaking into a strained smile. "Just hurry I'm starved!" Eager feet paced the outskirts of the kitchen. Food. Food. Food. It felt as though Patricia would be able to consume an entire hippogriff and in effort to calm herself she chewed softly on the fleshly, inner pad of her cheek. Straightening herself she said, "Hi Genis. I'm Patsy. And it was not a pleasure to meet you." Patricia didn't mean the last comment as an insult but was referring to the incident hours before. She snickered cheerfully. He had really been flustered about where he had placed his hands on her after falling. "Though don't worry about it," she chirped. "They bounce back quickly!" It was a vaguely perverse response but she didn't care; that fact skimmed over her head. She was just being honest.
She made to go closer and stood behind Genis, peering inquisitively over his shoulders. It wasn't hard to do. He was quite small. It made Patsy giggle and a hand flew to her mouth in effort to stifle her laughter. She didn't mean to come across as rude. But she couldn't help it. "You're really short for a boy!" Patsy beamed at Genis.

He paid the Slytherin girl very little attention, focused on his own task, not wanting to hurt himself by not paying attention to his chopping, slicing, dicing and cooking. He glanced back at her whenever she could and saw her pacing like a hungry tiger. She looked ravenous enough to eat her own shoe if he cooked it long enough. Was she on one of those silly little diets girls took to lose two or three pounds and made no difference in their outward appearance? Had she missed meals because he'd hurt her?
"Yeah, our meeting was unconventional, but you have to admit, neither of us is very likely to forget it anytime soon are we?" Genis asked with a small smile, which faded at the comment about his height.
He rolled his eyes, "First of all, I'm not short, I'm vertically challenged and second of all, I'm probably going to have a growth spurt over the summer." he said, looking up at her with a little annoyed look on his face.
"And yes, I'm sure your boobs do bounce back quick. Like most do." he said dryly and headed back to the stew, giving it stir and then, after searing the meat a little bit more, and added a little butter and salt to the pot, he transferred the meat into the stew and began making a stock, then poured it into the pot and put on a lid.
"Anyway, I love to cook." He said brightly, "I've been cooking since I was seven, so that's more than half my life if you really think about it." he smiled and started whipping up the desert, "I'm thinking about doughnuts too." He muttered as an after thought, if Patsy didn't want any, he'd eat them himself and give the rest to his housemates.
He left the bowl to stir itself and then began making a batter for doughnuts. "I know seven is really young to learn something as ....well complicated and sometimes dangerous as cooking, but see.....I had to!" He said, "It was a matter of survival!" He told her seriously as he mixed his batter so quickly, little flecks of it kept hitting him in the face.
"See, the person who did all the cooking in the house well......" He made a face, "Let's just say that I think it seriously impacted my height." he joked and then laughed "But to be truthful, the food was horrible. Just horrible! I started with mac and cheese, something really easy and then, with help from my friend's parents, I learned to cook safely on my own. By the age of ten, I'd taken over cooking for the house." he said proudly, and then, poured his batter into a pastry bag and quickly piped it out into hot cooking oil, making rings.
The stew was bubbling merrily, the pastries had put themselves into the oven. It was all going perfectly well.
He pulled himself up onto the counter edge with his arms and plopped down next to the fryer, looking into it every now and again to check to progress of his doughnuts. "What about you? Do you have any hobbies?" He asked.

"Yeah, our meeting was unconventional, but you have to admit, neither of us is very likely to forget it anytime soon are we?”
It was fun watching him work within the kitchen. His knife sliced at a smooth past and she watched the blurred silver glint in the light. It was reminiscent of her father; he always did the cooking. Normally her mother was busied within the art gallery until early evening, and since he worked from home, a meal was always ready upon her arrival. Patsy’s father had attempted to teach her the tricks of the trade but she still managed to burn anything set before her. She blamed it on a fear of germs. Food was finicky and if not thoroughly cooked could cause devastating, intestinal illness that was quite unsettling to Patricia. Giggling, Patsy let her thoughts slip and nodded at the Ravenclaw’s comment. “Yeah, I suppose you’re right! It’s funny because every ache in my body makes me think of you. There may even be a hand-shaped bruise.” Patsy tossed back her head and laughed as though cracking a joke. “Though in fairness it’d be great if I thought of you less,” she said rubbing at a sore shoulder.
"First of all, I'm not short, I'm vertically challenged and second of all, I'm probably going to have a growth spurt over the summer."
Patsy chuckled, a smirk slitting her lips. She paid little heed to his faded grin and pushed on, enjoying herself. “I don’t think there’s a difference.” Patsy scrunched up her features and gave a shake of her head, emphasizing her doubt. A pale finger stabbed the air. “Besides, Ravenclaws aren’t supposed to be challenged in anything,” declared Patsy as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. She gave a small shrug and patted Genis lightly on the back. The gesture was intended to be comforting though intermixed with her words may have been throwing salt on the wound. Amused, she exclaimed, “But good luck with that spurt anyway. Let me know how it goes.” The aroma of the food wafted beneath her nose; a ticklish fiend. She leaned forward and inhaled, whimpering. It smelled quite nice. Genis was certainly proving himself to be a skilled chef; the rich fragrance caused the saliva to pool within her mouth.
"And yes, I'm sure your boobs do bounce back quick. Like most do."
Smiling, Patsy reached out for a pinch of salt and threw it in his face. She laughed, not caring whether he dodged it or not. “You seem to be quite experienced with a girl’s upper portions.” It was a tease meant to rile the poor up. Patsy thought it was humorous when other people reddened with vexation; especially if it was with her, because then she could control it. “That’s kind of weird.”
"Anyway, I love to cook. I've been cooking since I was seven, so that's more than half my life if you really think about it. I'm thinking about doughnuts too. I know seven is really young to learn something as ....well complicated and sometimes dangerous as cooking, but see.....I had to! It was a matter of survival! See, the person who did all the cooking in the house well...... Let's just say that I think it seriously impacted my height. But to be truthful, the food was horrible. Just horrible! I started with mac and cheese, something really easy and then, with help from my friend's parents, I learned to cook safely on my own. By the age of ten, I'd taken over cooking for the house."
She pursed her lips, staring intently at Genis. As a child she hadn’t even been allowed to attempt cooking until the age of ten beneath her father’s supervision; it had only taken a handful of kitchen fires and an irate fire chief to cease any future efforts. Her lower lip jutted in a fat pout. It wasn’t fair that Genis was so good at cooking. A spark of jealousy coiled within the pit of her stomach. It immediately vanished at the mention of donuts. “Yes,” she agreed sternly. “Donuts are a good idea.” She listened as he explained how had perfected the craft and what had fueled the flame of his passion. And that’s when it began to click; it was no wonder he had sounded so familiar! Bad cooking, the surname of Sage; he was Professor Sage’s brother! She smiled happy at finally uncovering the revelation. It had been gnawing uncomfortably at the back of her mind. “Cooking doesn’t stint growth,” she said softly. “But it’s an interesting notion!”
"What about you? Do you have any hobbies?"
Patricia’s ears perked at his question. She leaned against the counter for a moment before propping herself up on the clean surface. There were a lot of things she liked to do. “Oh yes lots.” Patsy twirled an ebony curl around her finger. “I liked to win. A lot. In anything really. Donuts are my ultimate hobby. They’re my favorite-but that would branch off eating right? So I suppose eating is my favorite hobby.” She sighed, giving a sharp sniff. ”I like writing, reading, wizard’s chess, and other silly stuff like that, if that’s what you mean.”

"Yeah well, kindly keep the discovery to yourself." Genis muttered, blushing at the idea of a hand-shaped bruise and seeing it for himself, he laughed though and shook his head "And here I thought you wanted to think of me all the time. I'm hurt." He said in mock sorrow as he cooked.
"That's not true. Life's no fun if there isn't a challenge to it." Genis said brightly, "And I will grow! Over the summer I'll bet! Or even during the school year! Lloyd's folks tell me that the longer I stay short like this, the taller I'll be when I'm fully grown!" He told her, his expression serious. He glanced over at her and shrugged
"When you grow up around Lloyd Irving and near a group home like I did, you're bound to overhear all kinds of things a kid shouldn't hear and retain it one way or another." he said firmly, "It isn't personal experience, more like .....hearing it through the grapevine." He told her, not mentioning exactly how close he'd group up to said group home.
"Eating is a hobby?" He asked and then laughed, "Might want to watch out for that then." He said, "Otherwise you might stop growing taller and just grow wider." and he ducked, just in case something flew his way, like a hand or a spell. Smiling, he nodded "I like all kinds of chess, muggle, 3D chess, Shogi, a form of Japanese chess." He added, "3D chess is just a more difficult version of chess, since it's played on two levels and therefore, there's more ways to move your pieces and you could be defending from below when you should be defending from above. It's amazing!" He then sighed slightly, "But no one seems to want to play it with me. Or shogi. That's really difficult! But no, they're all too interested in playing Wizard Chess. That's all fine and good, I love Wizard Chess! But every now and again I want a change of pace. You know?"
he then tended to his food, "Besides chess, I like to learn new languages, I've learned French, Japanese, German, Russian and I'm starting to get the hang of Latin." he didn't sound like he was bragging, just stating the things he liked to do. "And reading of course, and studying." He chuckled and then checked his food.
"Alright! All done!" And he began bringing everything out and serving it up. "One good thing about magical ovens is that everything gets cooked faster." and he thought up a serving trolley and then, wheeled the food over to a table for two and sat down, helping himself.
"Time to eat!" He said brightly and dug in.

"Yeah well, kindly keep the discovery to yourself. And here I thought you wanted to think of me all the time. I'm hurt."
She tilted her head at the laughter that bubbled up through his throat. Patsy supposed the sore mark was a bit amusing, considering it's location and exact imprint. Without thinking she pressed a hand to its location and winced lightly at its throbbing reminder. A coy smile split her lips upward, curling the corners of her mouth. Patsy paused for a moment eyeing his movement and took note of the vague blush that spread through Genis's cheeks. She giggled at his reaction; having grown up with an artistic parent she was not bothered by the concept of nudity. Her mother had numerous times crafted a sculpture of a bare woman along the river bank or depicted a man free of clothes. She said, "You want to see it?" Her hand made for her shirt's collar.
"That's not true. Life's no fun if there isn't a challenge to it. And I will grow! Over the summer I'll bet! Or even during the school year! Lloyd's folks tell me that the longer I stay short like this, the taller I'll be when I'm fully grown!"
Patsy pursed her lips curiously, giving a small shrug. It was endearing how much he insisted on his growth and she felt a spark of guilt over having teased him about it. But he seemed relatively positive and she let is fade off, figuring he knew she only meant to tease. She smiled. "Llolyd's werid," Patsy laughed, remembering when he had saved her from the plethora of owls. Her nights were still haunted from the memory she shivered, focusing on the cuteness of Colette instead of the sharp peaks and blood-thirsty talons. "Well once you're taller than me I'll buy you a dozen donuts in celebration." She cracked a grin though was vaguely doubtful the day would ever come, but she kept silent about that thought not wanting to crush his spirits. Plus he was making food. She didn't want to die of poisoning or be denied a meal.
"When you grow up around Lloyd Irving and near a group home like I did, you're bound to overhear all kinds of things a kid shouldn't hear and retain it one way or another. It isn't personal experience, more like .....hearing it through the grapevine. Eating is a hobby? Might want to watch out for that then. Otherwise you might stop growing taller and just grow wider. I like all kinds of chess, muggle, 3D chess, Shogi, a form of Japanese chess.3D chess is just a more difficult version of chess, since it's played on two levels and therefore, there's more ways to move your pieces and you could be defending from below when you should be defending from above.

That's all fine and good, I love Wizard Chess! But every now and again I want a change of pace. You know?"
Patricia stifled her laughter with the back of a hand, blinking toward Genis. She wondered briefly of his home life; he spoke of a group and wondered if his parents were deceased. She knew better than to ask and instead continued to smile at his story. It wasn't really any of her business; if he wanted to tell her, he could. But she also knew he had an older sister who worked within the school; she seemed nice enough and this comforted Patricia. As he mentioned her eating a darkened cloud loomed in ominous threat near the two and she fixated a dark look onto Genis. "Are you implying that I am fat?" she hissed, ignoring the joking tones laced within his syllables. She lips drew back in a thin snarl. Her mood lightened dramatically at the mention of chess and it was though his previous comment had gone entirely unnoticed. She nodded along with him, listening intently. It was a game she enjoyed immensely; though it was not the strategy that amused her but rather the pawns crushing each other to dust. The brutal warfare was what caught her fancy. It always made her chuckle, even on a bad day. "I've never played 3D chess before. Maybe one day you'll have to show me." She sneezed into her elbow, sniffing blearily. Patsy had been caught off guard by a floating particle of dust.
"Besides chess, I like to learn new languages, I've learned French, Japanese, German, Russian and I'm starting to get the hang of Latin. And reading of course, and studying."
She smirked. He rattled off a lengthy list of languages; Patsy herself knew only the basics of the language spoken long ago in Ireland. She had forgotten it's name. She wasn't very good at it and never really cared to learn, though she figured it was important to. "Spoken like a true Ravenclaw." Patsy made a face and tilted back her head in laughter. He really seemed to enjoy his education; personally Patsy hated studying but knew better to make the most of it. It was useful after all for successful living. Plus a magical learning experience was much more entertaining than that of the muggle schools; they were boring and were forced to calculate problems with numbers and study facts that were deemed 'logical' and scientific. Hogwarts was not so dull.
"Alright! All done! One good thing about magical ovens is that everything gets cooked faster. Time to eat!"
Patricia squealed as he wheeled in their meal. She clapped her hands in excitement and reached out for the food, uttering a quick thanks. She piled her plate high, jabbed at the food with her fork, and shoveled in her mouth. Hunger had long consumed any trace of manners. She really couldn't care less. "Really good," she gargled between bites.

He laughed and shook his head, "You don't know the half of it. If you knew even a quarter of the trouble he used to cause....still does every now and again.....you'd really think he was weird." Genis chuckled lightly, remembering things he and Lloyd used to get up to when they were growing up.
"Mmm I don't know if I'll be taller than you but even if I'm not, I'll still be me. Right now I'm four foot ten, but if I grow at a rate of three inches a year, then by the time I'm twenty I'll be an even six feet tall." He guessed, "Which is kind of short for a guy but still nice and tall. And if I don't grow, I can always just be a horse jockey." He joked with a grin. In reality, horses kind of intimidated him, they were so big and powerful and one wrong move with the wrong horse and you could end up in the hospital! Or a grave.
"No." He said calmly, watching as the girl instantly got angry, "I'm just saying that one day you won't have such an amazing metabolism or else you'll become diabetic and that's not good either." The little Ravenclaw announced, stating the facts bluntly and without sympathy. "And maybe I will teach you 3D chess. It's a lot of fun."
He ate, watching Patsy shovel in food like she was facing a seven year famine. "Thank you." He said, "Cooking is one of my very favorite pastimes and I happen to be good at it. I cook every chance I get and since I'm always on top of my homework, or even just ahead of it if a Professor is predictable, I've got a lot of free time so you'll usually find me in here most weekends." then he added, "Unless it's a hogsmeade trip, then I'm down there."
As he ate, he spoke between bites, "My sister does have one good recipe that you'd do well to take from her. Battle Cookies." He said, "See, she bakes simple cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip, gingerbread, you get the idea. And with a few special ingredients and spells, she won't tell me which.....they become enchanted and they all start fighting one another and the loser gets eaten by the winning cookie and that cookie takes on the traits of the losing one. So for example, a peanut butter cookie bites the dust and is eaten by a sugar cookie You'd get a sugary, peanut buttery gingerbread cookie. Plus, it's a lot of fun to put in cookies that aren't enchanted and just watch them get eaten. Seeing them all fighting is fun too."
He finished up and with a simple thought, his plate was cleared and then, he got up and began icing the doughnuts, fresh and warm from the fryer. "Raine's main problem is that she likes to experiment in the kitchen and that's what really makes her food turn out so ....weird. If she'd follow a recipe then she'd be a decent cook, but she doesn't like to do that." he brought over the desserts, carmelizing the creme brulle as he walked. "You can have the doughnuts if you want, I made extra. I like creme brulle best." and he dug into the confection, breaking the sugar shell on top with a spoon. "Mmm." He hummed happily as he ate.
