Welcome to Gaia! ::

-Mal was both stunned and just a little bit upset. Living tavern to tavern, and wooing or at least attempting to woo women on a daily basis he's recieved a wide array of responses as his flirtations continued. But never once on his first spoken flirt had he been shot down so bluntly. After quickly recollecting his thoughts he did what he always did when a woman displayed no interest. He deflected the spurning with humor and kept moving forward with a smile on his face- Well in all my years I've never met a woman with such a unique name as your's before. -He leaned in slightly- Should I call you Not or would that be too forward Ms. Interested.

-Mal picked up his drink and took a swig from it, wiping his mouth with his arms before he started talking again- They all say that. If I stopped my pursuit of every lovely lady whenever she didn't display interest... Well let's just say I wouldn't want to live in the world with that outcome. -He took another drink and repeated his arm wiping and turned to face Daisy where she sat- You wouldn't mind telling me your friends name, would you?

Sighing softly, she outstretched her hand to the pointy eared fellow. "Names Angel." Her lush lips parted softly as she thought of telling him why she was treating him is such a stand offish matter. Perhaps the time was wrong so she smiled instead.

All of a sudden, Daisy knew what needed to be done!

She FLEW to the kitchen. She needed to bake. It wasn't something that could be helped. She had been managing the bakery for so long, she just didn't feel at home unless she was in the kitchen. She wasn't sure what that cake would look like yet, but she wanted to bake bake bake!

"Angel, Mal, Yang, if you want anything special, now's the time to tell me!" she shouted from within.

I'll take anything that's fresh! -He yelled at Daisy. He started on his second drink as he started to feel a little buzzed. Turning back to Angel- I take it that this tavern is yours. It's a nice place. How long have you had it?

Daisy continuted to flurry around the kitchen like a cyclone. In no time at all she had a Grilled Chicken Salad with Ravioli and Garlic Bread whipped up for Mal and a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting for Angel. It's a good thing this kitchen was still fully stocked!

Walking out to the kitchen with the various array of food on her tray, she stopped at the refrigerator for a quart of milk. She remembered Angel loves her cake with milk.

"Here you are Mal, I hope that will be suffecient." she said continuing on to Angel where she sliced the cake for both of them and enjoyed the delicacy with her sister.

"Yep, we did it! It feels like home now!" she said happily.

"You're welcome." she said finishing her slice of cake. She sat there in awe of all they had accomplished during that day. That lead to wondering what had happened with all of the old patrons. One in particular she would miss, well maybe two. "Wonder what ever happened to Ziven and Kiwi. I really enjoyed seeing them in here ya know." Her friends must have vanished when the protection was destroyed on the bar.

A smile braced her lips when Star walked in, worry crawled across as she witnessed her siblings shambled appearance. Rushing to her side, Angel found the girl had fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Kneeling beside her, she stroke Stars' hair as she sensed all was well with her. After covering herself up with a blanket she returned to the bar and tossed the gold Mal had left in the tip chalice. "So you were saying Stranger?"
