She looked up at it and nodded, rocking on her feet, "This one looks like it might have something, lets check it out and hope the people who run it aren't off celebrating everyone returning."

He smiled "we really can't blame them if they are." he pulled open the door for her and followed her in

"I suppose, I wouldn't want to be working if my missing family just came back," She said with a smile, looking around and seeing no one in the store as they first stepped in.

He nodded and walked around, gathering what Avalin had previously listed off "anything else other than this?"

Avalin smiled, walking with him and scanning the items in his hands, "Not if you don't want to add anything to the bread. If you do though, then you're just missing what you want to add."

He scanned the shelves and shook his head "I think we're good." He flicked his hand and put down a $20 bill for his purchase, hoping that the person who owned the store would get the money

"Then let's get going," She said, holding out her arms to take the things from him if he wanted. It had been forever since she had last made bread, but now that she thought about it, the recipe appeared in her head again, memorized with the muscle memory of making it.

He gave her half the load and opened the door "back home or is there so.ewhere else you want to go?"

Avalin thought for a minute and shrugged, smiling, "I have nowhere else that I want to go, unless you know of anywhere we should go?"

He smiled "maybe a few, but I'll save those for later." he waved a hand and teleported them back to the house

"Alright then, time to go bake some bread," She replied, stepping close to him as he teleported them back to the house.

Once they were back at home, he set the groceries down on the counter. "I'll help you in a second, love. I just need to feed Queenie and spot."

Avalin set her groceries down as well and kissed his cheek before nodding, "Take your time, I'll be fine making it on my own."

He smiled at Avalin and nodded. He got out a few bowls and measured out the right amount of food for the pets

As he went to feed the pets, she got to work, washing her hands before looking through the kitchen for bowls and measuring tools.

Loki headed back to their bedroom and gently nudged Spot awake. Spot picked his head up and nudged Queenie who was curled up comfortable at his paws. She woke up with a new and glanced up
"I know, I'm sorry to wake you two, but I've got food." He set the food bowls down on the ground

Soon, she had found some needed supplies and set to work with a smile, measuring ingredients and getting back into the familiar rhythm of making bread.

Loki came back shortly, followed by spot and Queenie. He wrapped avalin in a hug "having fun without me, love?"

She shrugged, leaning against him with a growing smile, "Yeah, I am, but you helping would be even more fun." She brought one of her flour covered hands up and put a handprint on his shoulder before laughing lightly and trying to get back to work.

He laughed and brushed off the flour. He kissed her cheek before rolling his sleeves up and watching "I know you've taught me this….but I have no clue what I have to do…." He smiled sheepishly

"I've already finished mixing all the ingredients, so now we just have to mess with it and knead it." She scooped out the ball of dough from the bowl and set it onto the already flour covered counter, breaking it in half so each of them could work on something.

He took a half and started to knead it onto itself "how long to we do this for?" He asked, glanging over at her

Avalin started to knead the dough as well, trying to think of the best guess, "Several minutes, then we have to let it rest and do it once more before we put it in the oven."

He nodded and continued to knead the dough. "So at this point we'll be having brunch."

She shrugged, smiling, "I suppose, yes." For the next few minutes she kneaded the dough, working it and mixing it together before finally stopping and putting the dough back in the bowl, "But it'll be worth it."

He nodded in agreement before continuing to knead the dough. He glanced down at Queenie who was pawing at his pantleg "no, I don't think you're allowed to have this."

"Not until its baked," She replied, walking over and getting something to put over the bowl to seal it off, "Whenever you're done, love, you can put it in the bowl next to you and it can start to rise."

He nodded and set the dough in the bowl to let rise. He washed his hands in the sink and dried them. Loki smiled and kissed his wife on the head before picking Queenie up and givihg her a treat from the cabinet. Spot came by and looked up at Avalin, expecting a treat from her

She smiled and happily accepted the kiss on the head before also washing her hands. She dried them and glanced down at Spot, still smiling as she crouched down and started petting the dog, "Does someone want a treat? Hm?"

Spot's tongue lolled out as he happily barked and nudged up into her hand. Loki handed Avalin a few treats before putting the bag away. He set Queenie on the counter, letting her roam around a bit
