"You know... Thinking about yourself every once in a while isn't selfish." Gerard began softly. He gave a soft laugh, then began again with more vigor a little louder "I mean, I only think of myself! But that doesn't make me a bad person... Well, not really."

Venera smiled a little. "No, I suppose not." She then thought on it and shrugged one small shoulder. "I do things for myself often enough...but since I know charms and the like won't work on me, I have to be carefully with who I give my heart to, you know?"

He nodded quickly. It was a leap of faith to love and he had already leapt and was cursing himself for it. Yet, it was ineventable and he remained torn between happily leaping and dreading the landing. "True, very true. Especially one so beautiful as yourself." He replied, opening the basket and grabbing a large blue and white checkered blanket. It was Alice's favorite, being blue and all. He flicked it hard so that the blanket lashed out and floated harmlessly to the ground, almost devoid of wrinkled. "I think you should only give your heart to a man who is willing to keep up with you. You know, if you can't stand the heat... Get out of the kitchen type thing?" He chuckled at his ingenious connection. He sat down on the blanket and patted the ground next to him, indicating her wanted her to sit with him.

Venera smiled and shook her head a little. Despite her supposed beauty, she had never actually had someone ask her out or anything. Of course, she didn't want to admit that out loud. She then moved to sit next to him, her legs tucking underneath her. "I'm not sure how much of me needs to be kept up with, but I do understand. It's always best to really know a person before giving them your heart because they'll either cherish it for life or break it and give it back."

Gerard shrugged softly, nodding a little. "That's true... yes..." He replied softly, pulling the basket over to rest in front of them. "I've pressed this subject much too long. Here." Gerard reached into the basket, pulling out a small pink square box decorated with white flowers. He blushed a little, mumbling something about how it was Angenette's.

Venera didn't mind the subject change. She could actually talk about love for the rest of the day if she wanted. Taking the box, Venera smiled at him, giggling at his blush. "It's a very cute box," she said to him as she opened it up to see what was inside.

Inside was a strange assortment of many different sweets and candies, packed into the box delicately, but effectively. The box was lined with bright pink tissue paper, obviously the doings of Angenette. "Let's see... All the chocolates are over here..." Gerard pointed to a corner that streched into half the box, "There is a lemon tart here... Some strawberry flavored things on this side. White chocolate is opposite the dark chocolate and cupcakes and icing are here..." He paused, taking a deep breath. "Try anything!!"[/color He said breathlessly, throwing his hands into the air slightly in his excitement.

Venera's eyes brightened at the sight of all the sweets. She tried to eat healthy whenever possible but her sweet tooth often demanded real sugar. "They all look so delicious!" She took a moment to pick then decided on a strawberry filly chocolate. After taking one bite, Venera smiled as if she'd gone to heaven.

Gerard beamed, his smile streching all across his face. He chuckled in a giddy manner, then picked up another tart, this one lemon. "If you like that then you should try this... And this!!" He added, picking up another sweet. He was excited suddenly, just as he always was whenever people tasted his food.

Venera finished off the chocolate then laughed brightly. She wanted to eat them all but knew she couldn't. "I'll have to start working out now if you plan to feed me all this in the future." She took the tart and took a delicate bite. It was just a good at the chocolate.

Gerard blushed a bright red, but chuckled with her. "I'll only feed you all these sweets if you promise to stay around." He replied with a grin, trying anyway to keep this demi-goddess close.

Venera's eyes sparkled playfully. "Maybe if I did leave, all these sweets wouldn't go to my hips." But she laughed after her comment, knowing she wouldn't leave a place for such a petty reason. "I'll be sticking around for a while, I'm sure. I'm still new here and I want to see everything. It could take a while."

He chuckled softly, catching her playful remark and discarding it quickly. "You've come to an interesting place. There are a scattering of people getting together and breaking up." Gerard mentioned, tossing it out as a penchant to stay.

Venera blinked at his comment. "And breaking up?" She hated to hear such a thing but it did give her something to do. "Seems I came at a good time then. Maybe I can help some people find their true soulmates." She knew she sounded like some obsessed romantic, but it was exactly what she was.

"That would bring some life back into this town." He said, his voice a little harsh. He noticed it and quickly smiled at her. "I mean, everyone is so sad sometimes. Maybe if they had their soulmates then I could open a bakery and sell them my sweets." He paused, looking away from her as he picked up a chocolate cupcake. "Nothing goes better with love than sweets."
