"Oh, sure! What do you want?" He replied
"Oh, sure! What do you want?" He replied
"Anything, really. May I check the fridge?"
"Yes!! There's cake, if you want it! It's the flavour you most want it to be!"
Nyx smiled, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "You can't replicate the kind of cake I want, but I'll find something."
"Oh…'
"It's all right," Nyx said. "Someone I know used to make it for us for birthdays, but it was her own special recipe. It had honey in it, and chocolate chips, and mint, and…"
She trailed off, lost in a memory, then shook herself back to reality before it could envelop her fully.
"I'll find something," she reassured him, going to the fridge.
"wait. Tell me the recipe." He said. He wanted to make it for her
"I'm sorry, your brother is forty-eight?" Beckett asked. "How old's your mom, anyways? How is she even able to have kids?"
He wasn't about to explain reproduction to a seven year old, but unless Peppermint's mother had never gone through menopause or somehow didn't age, he couldn't see how it could happen.
She shook her head. "I don't know it. We'd watch Anne make it, but she never told us anything about how to do it."
"Tell me what YOU think the recipe is." He said, determined to make it
"I don't know it. It had honey in it, though." She smiled. "Seven once stole the bottle of honey from Anne when she wasn't looking, and he squirted it all over our fingers so we could lick the honey off."
"Okay, it has honey… how much?"
"I told you, I don't know. We just watched Anne make it. I don't know anything about recipes." She sighed and raked her hands through her black hair. "I'll just have some ice cream, if you don't mind. We had that on birthdays too, if Anne could get it."
"okay then. I only asked because I wanted to make it for you…" He sighed
"I'm sorry." Nyx shook her head, dark waves swinging around her chin, lashes dipping.
"Let's go…" He unsummoned Lucifer and they walked out of the room.
"Sorry about that…" He said to Nyx
"No, it's all right." She went over to the fridge and opened it, pulling out a half-pint of chocolate ice cream. "Is it all right if I have this?"
"I was talking to my brother…"
"Oh, sure!!" He said, not caring
Nyx began to search the many drawers for cutlery. "Where are the spoons?"
"Oh, next drawer over." He said, being honest
Nyx opened the drawer, pulled out a spoon, and proceeded to yank the lid off of the pint of ice cream; digging her spoon in ferociously, she took an enormous bite.
( Hey doc, can I get some Ice cream?)
(Only a spoonful)
(pulls out huge spoon)
"Just don't get messy, okay?"
Nyx raised her eyebrows, an image of Seven, chocolate ice cream smeared all around his mouth, flashing through her mind. Against her will, she smiled.
He got some cake out and delicately ate it
Nyx sat down at the table and ate her ice cream, not noticing when a blob of it fell onto the black lace front of her dress.
He ate his cake.
"You're making a mess…" He said to Nyx
"No, I'm not." Apart from the chocolate ice cream smeared around her mouth, and the blob on her dress (still unnoticed), there wasn't anything else messy.
"Look at your dress…" He said, noticing the blob
Nyx, looking down, immediately let out a gasp. "Oh, crap -" She scooped off the un-melted blob and hurried around to the sink, where she tossed it, before grabbing a napkin and desperately scrubbing at her dress. Her face was bright pink.
Why do you care what you look like, Nyx? It's just a dress. You don't care about it that much anyway.
But you want to look pretty, a small voice in the back of her head murmured.
