Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm tempted," Arian admitted "But I shouldn't" since he was already getting a box to go in addition to the chocolate ones that he was eating in shop.

"Besides" he added with another smile "It will give me an excuse to pop in again when I need another cupcake fix," he thought about it for a moment in between more sips of the hot chocolate "Although I guess I don't really need any excuse - I just have a sweet tooth," well that and he liked cupcakes - well at least make that he liked sweet cupcakes.

"Thank you and I'll try to" Arian said. He didn't want to out and out promise that he would given that it would be an impossible promise to make in light of his alter-activities as Athene - but he could most certainly try .

After all he wasn't particularly fond of hospital trips.

He drank some more of what was left of his hot chocolate "I've been known to sneak sweet treats" he admitted, because his cousin's sugar encrusted molasses spice cookies were really, really good and when they were fresh from the oven it was hard to resist. "Even though I know I shouldn't."

He held the mostly empty cup of hot chocolate cupped in his hands "I should probably let you get back to shop stuff" because Arian knew that he probably was keeping Arias. "But thank you for the chat" his lips quirked "And for indulging my need for a cupcake fix."

"I'll try to" Arian said "And I definitely will" he continued with a nod, adding "Will stop by again that is."

Despite having mostly finished drinking his hot chocolate, Arian wasn't in any real hurry to go anywhere.

He didn't have anywhere that he really had to be and it was cosy in the shop and he was happy to soak up the general ambience for a little while.

And besides (and perhaps most importantly) he wasn't planning on going anywhere until he'd finished his have-in cupcakes, because it had been way too long since his last cake fix and Arias really did make delicious cupcakes.
