Monday Night at Nell and Gladio's

[mylandmyrules]

Nell wasn't sure who, if anyone, would be coming tonight after the men's weekend getaway, but she had food stuffs ready to throw together. She'd wanted to bring home some of the daffodils, but given that they were toxic to cats she'd brought home a few sunflowers instead.

And,as usual, once everything was set she settled down with her book to relax a little.

It seemed as though Ignis' well of cakes to bring over to Nell and Gladio's had not yet died up, even though he was now making two cakes for Monday...one to bring with him, and one to remain at home for other egregious spoiled parties to enjoy at her leisure all on her own.

Sigh. The things one did for love. But at least this would hopefully lead to far less cutthroat competition for last slice.

This was a cake Nell might actually fight for the last slice of. Not really. She was too good of a hostess, but she might think about it.

"Welcome, Ignis,: she said fondly. "Not sick of all the togetherness after the weekend?"

Perhaps she wouldn't have to fight for it by sending Gladio to do so instead.

"Shockingly enough, " Ignis said with a faint smile, "it would take a bit more than a single-night fishing trip for us to go weary of each other's company, sometimes for worse as much as for better. And, besides, it may have been nice to have some time for 'just us boys,' as it were, but it was lacking in your company and cooking, which is indeed a highlight to these visits. I trust you've been well? And plenty busy with your plants and bees?"

Nell laughed. "I am glad that you all got a chance to be together away from all the ordinary. ANd you're awful sweet to say that."

The lasagna in the kitchen caught her eye. "Of course, in addition to what I've made we also have lasagna from a cat apparently. As for my plants and bees, they're all thriving, I should have a ton of honey to harvest this year!"

"I saw the cake you left behind," Liliana purred into his ear, arms coming around him from behind. "And this is why I love you. Well, one of the reasons, I suppose." Her hand slid down his arm to tangle with his.
