Alt never actually realized that he had just been left alone. He really didn't have much since of Talna's presences to begin with. He was really off into his own little world this whole time. But when the waitress attention had turned to him, the gears in his head began turning and brought him back into reality. That's right, he was at a bakery... Last time he could get them, but maybe this time. Those... Those... "Excuse me," He began to talk in his dull tone, "Do you have any of those..." He paused to figure out how to explain it, "Those Italian things, the tube shaped ones with the custard in it?" How was he supposed to know what they were called? The then looked down to Erika and thought for a bit more. He grabbed her by the collar and lifted and placed her in front of him so she wasn't in hiding anymore. "I'll also take a strawberry short cake for her," He ordered as he placed his palm on the top of the child's head. A short cake for a shorty... The thought put a smile on the boy's face.

She waited pathiently for Alastair's responce. Occasionally looking over to a display picking out what she might like, she wasn't technically working. The though accured to her, that she might get in trouble. Well, she was going to pay for all five of them regardless. When Alastair spoke, Avikna's attention returned to him. An Italian thing with Custard? All she could think of off the top of her head was a Cannolli. Was that what he wanted? Surely it was. Going around the counter, she looked in the displays for any Cannolli's.
"You're in luck." She replied, quickly washing her hands, then getting a few plates. Grabbing some tongs, she picked up one of the remaining Cannolli's and set that on the counter. She then went over to the cakes. That actually sounded rather nice, so she decided to grab two extra slices, one for her and one for Talna. Paying for the items, she brought everything over across the counter. Going to sit near Talna, she stopped momentarily to wait for Alastair to follow. "I love, Pasteries." She chuckled as she walked.

At this point Alt was just focused on his sweet tooth. For some reason he had been dragged into a meeting with two women he didn't know, and somehow Erika was there two. But, it didn't matter to him, as long as he got something out of it. Usually the boy would be distressed about his 'first appearance' and making a good impression. But lately he seemed to have nothing but bad run ins with people. Well at least one, though that was the first person he met on the island! So now the boy wasn't quite worried about making acquaintances at this point. It would be nice to make a couple friends. However, he was leaving soon anyway, so why bother with it. And with those thoughts in head, and his eyes focused on the sweets, Alt and Erika followed the girl to the table and grabbed there seats. Alt letting a, "Sweets are good aren't they?" Out when the girl had spoke. Erika made sure to stay silent. It's not like a girl her age had a way to drum up a conversation anyway.

She nodded to the man's comment. Yes, yes they were. She'd even gone so far as to dedicate a large chunk of her life to them. It was a happy chunk though. Currently thought, her thoughts werent on the sweet smelling short cake before her. No, they were on Alastair. He didn't seem all here according to what she saw. Where was his mind? "You're kind of a bore..." She blurted out, arching a brow towards the male. She didn't realize at the time that what she'd just said had come out the wrong way, such was Avikna for you. It was up to Alastair to either point it out, or ignore it. However, Avikna wasn't done talking. "I mean, where's your head? You're going to miss alot if your brain decides to take a vacation now." Where did that helpful sweet sounding Avikna go? Well, she tucked her away bringing out her real self. The blunt and rude sounding part of her. She kept an eye arched as she stuck her fork in the cake, and placed the small bit she'd broken off into her mouth.

  Xeiro walked into the Bakery far too late. But, it really wasn't his fault that Beatrice had cooked breakfast (which consisted of the best scrambled eggs and buttered toast ever with a side of OJ) and Bela had brought it to him in bed. It also wasn't his fault that Bela had created her own dessert for him to indulge in soon after. But, he did have a grand smile on his face due to it, so it was all good. "Hello, hello, hello, aaaaand hellooooo~" He shouted the last part to Talna who was conveniently across the room. He was wearing a boring old black button-up and the top four buttons were undone, revealing a good bit of his muscular chest. He also had blue jeans on where his hands were placed at the moment.
He saw the girl was helping the two at the counter and smiled, "Avikna, I presume? Thanks for taking care of things around here. This shouldn't happen again. I had a family emergency back at home." His hand instinctively pulled out of his pocket and pointed in the direction of his house for whatever reason. With that, he was quickly into the back and made a few clang-y sounds before reappearing with a pan of leftover danishes he needed to markdown for the day in one hand and donuts of the same fashion in the other. "Can I interest any of you in some discount donuts or a raspberry, cherry, or apple danish?" He smiled and placed both pans side-by-side on the opposite corner. He then turned back around to smile at the three closest to him. Post-sex Xeiro was just far too eager, excitable, and happy about life to let another day of work bring him down.

-Blaire Vatonage-
-NEW DAY-
Sweets. Or something. Blaire had been dying to get something that wasn't nutritional or medicine. With Rune and Will both sick with chickenpox, she had been way too busy to buy anything that wasn't for them. Luckily Ellie took another day off to tend to the kids and the young woman left to indulge herself. Now that she was here... she had no clue what to get. Or if there was anyone around... Oh wait no, employee over there. She hadn't come here more than a couple of times. It wasn't that far really, but it wasn't on her route, so it was more of a luxury than anything to come here. Really, at her age she shouldn't be able to think that. Rune wasn't her daughter or anything... Not having time, that excuse felt old. As if she was old... Chocolate cake, that would erase that thought away. And some bread too...

Walking into the store, Reed looked around lifelessly. It had been three weeks since he had been given some time to be by himself. His aunt had decided to keep Erika until school started, leaving the man to be alone a lot longer than anticipated. Really at this point it was a pain. Is this what loneliness felt like? It definitely was the pits. Which is why he was here. Maybe something sweet would pick up his spirits. That, and he felt like getting something for when his daughter arrived back. Reed headed towards the counter, only to stop when seeing a familiar hair style. This girl seemed to show up when he was feeling alienated. However that wasn't a bad thing, being acquainted to a fun girl like her. A playful smile filled his face as he walked towards her. At first behind her and then he slid over to her side. "Were you waiting long?" He asked as he leaned over to examine the cakes.

That chocolate cake was really calling out to Blaire. She was pretty close to ordering it when another piece caught her eye. If she was this bad choosing a sweet, she'd definitely be screwed when she went to buy a house. It was far off, and most likely irrelevant because Blaire was adamant about cake being a subject you had to be careful about. Though it contradicted her whole, not eating chocolate cake is sacrilege but at times like these, she was just looking for food. It was because of that that she didn't notice the stealthy Reed. Something felt odd for a split second, as if someone was watching, right before the man was by her side and examining the cakes. The young woman matched his smile and moved a hand to her hip. "Though I should really ask that to that cake... I guess it depends" she answered. Blaire leaned a bit to examine the cakes, or rather meet his level. "Whether you're going to be any help or not" replied Blaire, looking over at him with that oh so playful smile.

"Help huh..." Reed began as he continued to look through the shelves of sweets, "I don't know if I will be any help." He didn't even know what kind of cake he wanted... Did he want cake? Chocolate looked good... Though carrot cake was always a favorite for him. However, it's not like he was here for just for himself. He would probably get a small chocolate cake for him and his daughter. That did sound good actually. "That one looks good," He told Blaire as he pointed to a small and round cake with chocolate frosting. Reed then pointed to a slice of another cake, "And you can have that one, I'll even pay for it." Or he would, but no one was at the counter. He looked around for an employee, but no one was in the immediate area. Alt said something about there being no one at the counter when he came here. They must have a pretty relaxed crew.

"Well... it would be blasphemy to refuse free chocolate cake" replied the woman with a smile. It did look good, especially with that frosting. She took a look around to see if there was anyone around but it looked like the employees were either ghosts or hiding in the back room. "If there's anyone around" she added. Hm... this was why a bell was always put around... and to smack. Which she did once or twice. No one yet... "Everything all right on your end Reed?" asked the woman, turning to look at the man. Hey, he might've been joking about the stud comment back then, but it was true~ She hadn't seen him since the Tomato Festival, which they lost, so it was nice to catch him again. Especially if it meant chocolate cake~ One could swear she would ask for a huge chocolate cake rather than a ring for her wedding... and one could be right.

"Not bad~" The man answered in a sing-song type tone, "I got the house to myself lately, so I've been relaxing quite a bit." To much really. There was a limit to how relaxing being by yourself could be. And Reed had passed that awhile ago. Even being able to get work done was not very helpful in lifting up his spirits. He'd rather be struggling at work with someone to talk to then alone and on track. But of course, he wasn't going to say all that to Blaire. Why dump all his negativity on her? He went through a bit of that with his dinner guest last week. "Though it ends tomorrow, so I'm picking up a little cake for my daughter's arrival," He commented as once again he looked around. Still nobody. "How 'bout you?" He asked as his eyes scanned her up and down. Mostly fixed on her hair. He liked it. Reed liked most things that were different. Cept' Alt, he was to different. Way to different.

"Seems like relaxing is over then" commented the girl. "I've been all right. A little hectic, but nothing some sugar couldn't help get over." It was Fall after all. School started, vacations were over, work got back on track, and kids were left with her. Well rather paperwork was done, which was their boss's job, or her assistant, well someone was supposed to do it. As long as it wasn't her, it was fine. She was just happy dealing with kids. Speaking of which, she was hoping to get something for Rune... but with no one around... "I swear, this must be run by ghosts or something" chuckled Blaire with another glance around. "And I'm not about to spend my day waiting for one or two pieces of cakes. However heavenly they may be." But that would mean figuring out what to do afterwards... Hm...

A ghost shop might seem like an interesting concept. But, not when it prevents you from shopping. Reed sighed. He'd have to come back to get the cake. "Definitely" He replied to her as he looked around one last time, "I guess we might as well come back later." Of course as he looked around nothing changed. It would be a waste to just go home however. And the man never liked wasting his day. Especially over a cake. He looked back to the door and then at Blaire. "Why don't we kill some time?" He asked her while pointing to the door. Going out and walking around seemed better than just sitting here and waiting. Plus it wasn't gone be warm for long, so why not enjoy the outside while they could? "I'm sure going out for a walk will be better than waiting for some service here," Anything sounded better than that. Of course, the bakery was a nice place. They were just here at a bad time.

Now that brought a smile to her face. "I guess having an escort would be fun" she told him with a half-laugh. Maybe by the time they got back someone would be around? Still if she got some company, she could do without the cake. He wouldn't have one though... Well the bakery would be here for a long time, so that shouldn't be much of a hassle. If he wanted to get something for his daughter, well he could just bring her over tomorrow. Now that she convinced her conscience, Blaire nodded. "Come on, this place is small, but it's not that small" said the young woman, leading him out of the store. They had a small island to walk through, more so the populated areas but it sounded much better to say the island.
