Nat nods.
--
She nuzzles his shoulder. "We'll talk to him tomorrow. Everything will be fine."
--
She smiles and exits.

"I just need to figure out how to finish without her over my shoulder. I will need a second project to distract her."
---
"Do we have to?"
---
He skips after her.

"A second project? Like what?"
--
"Isn't that better than ignoring him all the time?"
--
She is a little embarrassed by this. She keeps her eyes down as she walks.

"I don't know. Just something she can look at whenever she walks in on me working."
---
"I don't know."
---
"Chocolaate caake. He should put extra icing on it this time."

"So what happens once you finish that project?"
--
"Richard, he's your father."
--
"He made them this morning." She enters the shop. The bell on the door jingles happily as they enter.
Claude waves from behind the counter. "Hey, Shy girl! Hungry again, hm?"

"It doesn't matter. When I finish yours I will kill her."
---
"I know."
---
"We need more chocolate cake! With extra icing! And any yams if you have them." He peers around the counter. "This probably isn't where people buy yams though, is it?"

Blink. "You're going to kill her?"
--
"We can make this work."
--
Claude tilts his head. "Yams? No, sorry. I've only got baked goods here." He turns to find a cake.
Shy looks at her feet.

".. Can you kill her?"
--
'Everything will be fine. Do you want to go out today?"
--
Claude smiles. "She also likes strawberry cupcakes."
Shy tries to peek through her bangs at him.

"What? You aren't certain?"
--
"All right. Well, I'm going out for a little while. Try to cheer up." She kisses his cheek.
--
"Would you like one, Shy?"
She shakes her head. "No, thank you. I'm fine."

"If I can, I will."

Little smile.

He whispers loudly. "Give it to her anyway!"

"And if you can't?"
--
"See you later." She waves and exits.

Claude continues smiling as he boxes up a cupcake.
She watches her feet.

"And you're okay with that?"
--
He sets the boxes on the counter. "Here you are!"
Shy shyly walks forward and puts some money on the counter. "Thanks."
