 It was a lovely, early spring day in Breeheart in the mid-morning. The birds were up, the sun was up, and look, Amity was up as well. It may have seemed a day like any other, but for the female fauness, it was hopefully the first in many days that she would be leaving the Tree just like this. Far too many seasons had passed since she'd return home after the bombing, driven by sense of loss she'd felt. But while she was a faun first and foremost, and to her breatherin she was unquestionably loyal, the Tree itself was hardly her home. Born from a single acorn, she had no familial ties to keep her to one location, so in her youth she'd traveled far across the island. Even now, she wished to do so once more.
But it was still far too soon, that much was clear.
The glimmer of hope with one with a wandering spirit such as hers was the relaxation of movement to include a nearby mixed-breed village, a fey-led settlement called 'Breeheart.' It still was just close enough that one might make a comfortable day trip of visiting, but at least it was a breath of fresh air.
On this day, Amity's first outside of the Tree in so very, very long, she entered the village with wide eyes and high expectations.

Taegan had begun getting used to life in this new village he and his mother had called home. He wasn’t sure what had drawn them here (well really he was but he couldn’t put words to his mother’s...well craziness) but he wasn’t exactly complaining either. The heads of the town was one Faun and one Fae, much like himself just without the angel ancestry. Both were welcoming, sweet and obviously hard working. You could see their families touch all over the town. When they mentioned they needed help with decorating and gardening, his mother Prisma seemed a unique but perfect fit.
And with his new found power since that one mysterious Venus Day party..... well he was beginning to learn more and more about the art of dessert making, particularly chocolate, since his power seemed to be able to turn flowers into completely editable chocolate. He still couldn’t figure out how to make specific kinds of chocolate but at leas they all tasted good?
He was tending to a fresh patch of flowers in his own little plot that he could harvest for his sweets when he heard the sound of hooves approaching. Breeheart often got many villagers, as he quickly learned, but it was always a surprise to see more faun. He had heard they were usually very strict in their society but then again, besides Brisoca, half the Breeheart family resembled fauns.
Doing his best to seem friendly, Taegan stood up, brushed some dirt of his knees and made his way over to welcome the green fatness, smiling softly, if not a bit shyly. “Welcome to Breeheart, totally.”

Amity's ear flicked as she glanced, quickly identifying the source of the greeting as a green... wilwarin? Was that what the angels called these hybrids? It'd been a while, so she wasn't sure her memory would serve her well. Raising a hand with a lax smile, she responded in kind, "Mornin'~" She reached up to tussle with a lock of hair, giving the male a quick look over - his disposition seemed nice, and he wasn't unpleasant to look at...
Eh, who was she kidding? She wouldn't be picky about asking someone from the outside to hang with her out of nowhere. He'd know what to do better than her anyways. "Sounds like I got the correct directions here." Note to self, thank Babs Seed later for said directions. "I'm Amity by the way," she added with a small yawn. She'd woken up earlier than usual to get here with plenty of time to sight-see, so it was expected she'd be a bit tired. Offering a hand, she added, "Nice to meet ya."

Her own kindness made him smile more as he seemed to feel a bit more relaxed. "Nice to meet you Amity, I'm Taegan totally.” he said as he went to take her hand gently in his, lifting it to his chin, though instead of a kiss he offered a gentleman like bow. "It would seem you did indeed find the right directions." he said with a soft laugh, letting her hand go as if it were a delicate flower. He turned a bit towards the village and held his arms out towards the bustling of bakers and makers, the heavy scent of pastries and sweets hung in the air. "Everyone's just about open, totally. You came at a good time, the first fresh assortments of the day are always my favorite." he grinned slyly, turning back towards her, a hand running across the back of his neck before falling back at his side.

"Taegan, huh? Cool name." Easy to say and pleasant on the tongue - the most important two things in a name (with meaning being third). Now, she'd been intending on a handshake as she held hers out, but she was pretty darned good at goin' with the flow and hardly seemed to startle at the unexpected gesture. All she did was widen her eyes a touch in surprise before her lax smile returned. He seemed like either a genuinely nice guy or quite the sweet talker - and she was consciously one to believe the prior.
When he let go of her hand, she reached up to twirl a lock of hair again as her eyes followed his own. Oh man, she could just smell the most delightful of scents, some that she hadn't enjoyed in far, far too many seasons. Why, just this was enough to leave her feeling starved.
As if on cue, her stomach apparently agreed with this sentiment.
Laughing before running her hand through her hair, she figured there was nothing to lose in at least asking. "You got any favorites? It seems I'm actually pretty hungry, and I could use a friendly face to show me around. If you're not busy with your own work, of course." One could practically see the glint of excitement in her eyes as she looked at him.

The sound of hungry tummies seemed to be a welcome sound around Breeheart and he was quite used to it now. It made him smile but he couldn't fault her for it. "Aah this village's favorite call!" he chuckled a bit before pondering her question. Any personal favorites? Oh man, how could he choose? Everything here was so good but oooooh man if he had to really think about it.... "I think the chocolate croissants are my favorite, totally." he said with a smile, his eyes shutting tightly as he seemed to imagine its taste and the buttery chocolatey goodness of the croissant melting onto his tongue. He might have let out a soft 'mmmmmm' sound as his stomach made its own rumble. He brought his hand to the back of his head and ran it through his hair before offering her his other hand. "You came at a good time, I don't have anything on my schedule that can't wait. Besides, if Briosca found out I hadn't shown you the proper lay of the village and all its sweets she'd take a few goodies out of my basket, totally." he laughed, giving his wings a bit of a carefree lazy flutter as he waited for her to take his hand.

Amity felt her cheeks slightly redden as he played along with her stomachs grumblings, but she simply laughed again to 'shrug' it off, so to speak. It was a lucky thing that she'd run into someone so kind and approachable right upon entering - if only the rest of the faun leadership could see that this was the normal for daemon...
No no, no use thinking about things she couldn't change. Way too much energy for her day off.
"So the chocolate croissants, huh? Sounds absolutely delicious! And if it's got the local's 'seal-of-approval,' there's so way I could go wrong with that." Honestly, she wasn't sure what one of these were, but she wasn't anything if not adventurous when it came to her food. And frankly, it was the perfect time to shake her tastebuds up! Faun cuisine was good and all, but... it did tend to be a bit heavy on certain items. With a playful grin, she lightly took his hand before moseying on over to his side. "Consider me lucky then~ Ain't nothing better than good food with good company." Her ears twitched slightly as she sized him up from a bit closer this time - yeah, he was a pretty cute one alright. "How 'bout we go add some sweets to your basket then~"

fea line Taegan felt his cheeks blush slightly but accepted her company and held out an arm for her to take. His mom was quite eccentric but she had her own ways of getting the concept of manners and gentleman-like actions through to him. "I will certainly aim to be that, totally!" he chuckled, waiting for her to be ready before he set off, a gentle tug to bring her a long.
He made his way towards a hut with an open front patio that had a small collection of tables and chairs, some pae already nestled into a few of those chairs. The scent of freshly baked dough and the sweet aroma of baking chocolate grew stronger the closer they got. He nodded a brief hello to some of the faun there before stopping at the counter. "Hello Sweet Treat, may I get two of your delicious chocolate croissants, please totally?" he asked, before turning to motion towards Amity. "We have a new visitor and of course I had to recommend you first."
The fauny behind the counter smiled brightly, nodding before briefly dipping into the back. Taegan grinned. "I can't wait to see how you like them!" daisicle Amity looked slightly upwards at him to make eye contact and nod with a smile once she was ready to continue on. Once moving, she offered a little small talk until they came across a bakery with one of the most delightful of smells coming off of it. "Oooh, now doesn't that smell great!" She may have started to pick up her pace a bit in anticipation of the incoming delicious sweets.
At the introduction, she offered a pleasant wave and a, "I can't wait to try them out - Taegan here says they're the best in the village after all." fea line Sweet Treat returned with the two freshly baked and drizzled chocolate croissants snug in little paper trays. She gave a slygrin to Taegan who seemed to blush more as he took them, trying to hide any embarrassment from Amity.
Holding them both forward, he did his best to not awkwardly smile at her. "Take your pick! They are mostly the same but sometimes you know how one just calls to you." he grinned, hoping she'd understand where he was coming from. daisicle Amity glanced over at Taegan with a smile as he received the croissants, noticing, but chosing not to comment on, the pink flushing his features. It was actually pretty cute.
Totally.
"I'll take... This one!" She pointed at the one in his left hand and thanked him when he handed it over. Upon taking a bite in full view of the server, her eyes widened. "Woooow, that's delicious!" fea line Taegan grinned more when she finally bit in and seemed to enjoy it. "Aren't they the best? Totally!" he laughed, taking a bite out of his own and making a shut eyed smile and "mmmmmf" sound as he gobbled it down.
"Everything is good here, totally, but I may be biased." he said again with a shy laugh as he shrugged his shoulders a bit. He took another bite before glancing at her, again still pink in the cheeks. "Um...but...yes... if there's anything else you'd like to see here...?" he asked, hoping she'd like to stick around a bit longer. daisicle Amity shook her head with emotion as she took another blissful bite of croissant, her hand reaching up to rest on her cheek as she reflected on how tasty it was. "They're so gwoood~" her mouth may have still been a bit full as she spoke.
And given she was quite the food-motivated sort of pae, this town really was something perfect.
She licked her tongue as she polished off the rest of the croissant. Yes, very cute. And if he was offering... "Well sure, if you've got nothing else you need to do, I've got no reason to say no to good company."
And just like that, they had themselves a grand little time for the large part of the remaining day.
