“Freya come on! We have to get there quickly so that we make sure that we get one of those eclairs!” Sophie tugged on her girlfriend’s hand, leading her towards the bakery with a laugh and a slight stumble over a loose rock in the sidewalk.
“It’s the place I was telling you about, with the great food where I’m going to maybe go into some kind of a partnership with my bows!” She had already told the other girl about it four times but. Once more was fine. Freya hadn’t complained yet. But…there was still plenty of time for that.
“And I swear to you, I’m going to turn into one of the birthday cake cupcakes. They’re so good. Like, beyond good. And I want to get you a few of the charms if there are any. They’d look very nice on your purse.”
With all of that settled she grinned as the bakery came into view. It was a date, and Sophie hoped she wasn’t been too terribly awkward.

Sophie was....cute. Just being around her, in all her bubbly, bright excitement, made Freya happy. And, yeah,okay, Freya knew that was the way you were supposed to feel around your girlfriend, but there was something special about the way Sophie's joy and excitement were infectious.
So she'd listen to her talk about this bakery, and her bows, and everything else a thousand times over, just to bask in the sunshine warmth that came form being around her.
"Birthday cake cupcakes sound amazing," Freya sighed. She definitely had a sweet tooth, which made this a pretty ideal date. "I can't wait to see everything they've got."
She ducked in to steal a quick kiss, when they paused walking for a moment.
"You take me to the nicest places."

“You only think they’re the nicest places because you’re one of the nicest of people!” Sophie laughed and returned the kiss with an eager sweetness.
“I know you’re going to like it.” She led them both inside, but felt a little bit of disappointment when it wasn’t Caius behind the counter but a girl with long, curly brown hair who smiled and greeted them both.
“s**t. I was hoping it was going to be my friend working, but…that’s all right. The food will still be good.”
She didn’t move to press her face to the counter as she did when she was here with Caius, but squatted down, looking at all of the treats on offer before sighing and ordering her usual. An eclair and a birthday cake cupcake.
As the smiling worker got out the requested items, Sophie looked to Freya. “Well? Doesn’t it all look fantastic?”

Freya laughed. She wasn't nice, she didn't think--not all the time, at least--but, well. She was to Sophie. For Sophie. With Sophie. However it went. So, she'd take the compliment as it was meant, and not challenge it too much.
"You're sweet," she said, and she let Sophie lead her inside, taking a look at all the treats on offer. But, well, this was Sophie's favorite place, so...
She also put in an order for an eclair and a birthday cake cupcake, because...well, that sounded delicious.
"Oh, it all looks amazing," she sighed. "I can't wait to taste it. And maybe go back for more," she laughed. Might as well enjoy it, after all, since they were here? It wasn't like she was in danger of losing her figure or anything, with all the exercise she did for cheer and as Marialite, so she could definitely indulge during a nice day out with Sophie.

Sophie nodded, grinning widely. “Doesn’t it? And I promise you it tastes even better than it looks so, you don’t have to worry too much about that.”
When she had paid for the both of them, because obviously it was her job since she was the one who had initiated this date, Sophie drew them over to a window seat in the corner, nice and cozy for the two of them and began to attack her eclair with an excited eagerness. “So! How…is everything? I know I haven’t asked in like. Ages but. I haven’t forgotten Cale. Is he doing okay? Have you seen him?”
She hesitated. “...Do you think he even knows that I’m…ah. You know. Playing for the other team now?”
Honestly? Sophie rather hoped not…if he didn’t know then she couldn't be upset at him. But if he did know and just couldn’t be bothered...well. That was a whole different story.

Freya nodded.She took her pastries, and followed Sophie over to their little seat, sitting down and taking a bite of the cupcake first.
"Oh, my god, you weren't kidding, this is amazing," she said, and she took another, making a very happy noise as she did. Birthday cake? Good. Cupcakes? Even better. The perfect size to consume all in one sitting and be very happy with herself the whole time.
The question gave Freya pause. She took a moment to swallow her bite of cupcake and sighed.
"I've seen him," she said, "but I haven't told him about you. I kinda figured he knew, actually? Have you not seen him since you came over?" She frowned. That seemed strange. Caledonite had been pretty involved when she first corrupted--taken her home with him and everything. He'd had his eyes on Dinara before Marialite ever did.
Weird, then, that he hadn't seen her.
"I can set something up? Get the two of you together? I bet he'll be thrilled to see you," she said, brightly. "I mean, if you'd like."
She took another bite of her cupcake, and hoped she hadn't stepped in it, or made things harder for Sophie. Caledonite was...sometimes difficult, she knew, and sometimes getting him to do things was equally so. Perhaps it was just a factor of him...not really powering up much, that meant he hadn't seen Dana yet.

“No, I’d like that very much. Thank you.” Sophie seemed to relax with the knowledge that she didn’t think he knew. That was good. If he didn’t know than he hadn’t just forgotten her or…
Or whatever.
“Eh! We can hold off on it. I’ve been juggling a lot of people right now, and I’m kind of content with the three I have.” She smiled brightly and looked terribly pleased that Freya seemed to like the baked goods. “I know it’s amazing! It’s the best bakery ever!” Reaching over, Sophie took the other womans’ hand and squeezed it. “I’m so happy I get to share it with you, Freya. You’re the best and I like you so much.”
And that was more than enough. For now.
