“You’re welcome!” Fiona chimed, excited that someone…no, two people liked her brownies. She was never sure, since most people hesitated from anything that was ‘allergy free’…as they tend to believe that if it was free of the normal ingredients, then they couldn’t possibly taste all that good. But judging by Mana and Souza’s inhalation of them, then surely she could prove other people wrong…unless they were just starved from their travels.
“Milk and chocolate milk, coming up!” Frederick piped up, moving to one of the mini fridges beneath the bar and grabbed a couple of frosty cold glasses to pour the drinks in. He gently slid the milk glass towards the redhead, gently brushing it against her hand so she knew it was there (as he wasn’t sure if he could tell that it was there or not, and simply covered all bases) before sliding the glass of chocolate milk to Mana. “You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.” He quoted from the movie ‘Snatch’ in jest, complete with a wink and his usual charming smile. “Either name is fine, Fiona is used to calling me Freddy since Frederick was so hard for her to say when we were younger.” He explained.
“Speaking of which…” He said turning to his sister. “You said you had a surprise…?” Fiona said with a subtle tilt of her head as her smile grew small. Her brother soon pulled a charm necklace out of his pocket, the dark wooden piece had a beautiful swan carved into it. “Ooo!” She smiled warmly as she gazed down at it, cupping it in her hand as Frederick tied it around her neck. “Where did you get it?” “It was specially made, just for you by a kind gentleman at the Rustico Inn. I’d like to take you there sometime for dinner…if you think you could pull yourself away from your kitchen.” He said with a warm grin and a poke of her nose, which caused her to giggle some, before she turned to show…well, Mana the charm and describe it to Souza. “It’s a swan. It’s my favorite animal, because even though it starts out seemingly unattractive, it turns into something truly breathtaking the more time you spend with it.” She said wistfully.
“So…it’s true…huh? When someone doesn’t have full sensual abilities, like speech and sight…then other senses are heightened? And I imagine that with the two of you being twins, then it becomes even more extraordinary. I mean…due to the bonds…right?” Frederick asked, while he walked back and forth between the main room and the kitchen, gathering different supplies while he started to cook up dinner. “Are the two of you hungry…for something more than just brownies? I’m about to cook up some fish and pasta for me and Fiona…I’ll be happy to cook up a bit more for you ladies as well.” He thought to offer.
