It's not an exaggeration to say that the past few months have been rather ... exhausting. So exhausting, in fact, that it feels like the first free evening in ages (which is factually untrue, but irrelevant right now). It's definitely been a long enough time for Fenelle's stash of sweets to have gone entirely empty. Dee could supply demself simply with sugary beverages, but ... for all that hard work in the past weeks, dee would like more of a treat. It also doubles up as stress-baking, really, so it's a win-win situation.

Successfully occupying a part of the kitchen, dee has been busy. It's about making sweets for at least an entire week for dem, after all - the timing needs to be absolutely perfect or der carefully constructed plan would fall apart, resulting in slightly overbaked or underbaked goods. In fact, there's only a brief respite planned in, just to have a window of making sure that everything, really everything, has gone according to plan.

Or, as dee looks up from the packed counters and ovens for the first time in several hours, to notice someone nearby as well. The smell of baked sweet and heated sugar probably has filled a good portion of the Dining Hall, though it also mixes with the smell of late dinner for some few. Some already baked and finished cookies and biscuits and pastries are already laid out on cooling sheets, ready to be put away into the myriads of tupperware also lining the counters.

Owlishly, dee blinks at the other person.

stress bakes

kasper has to be honest, they weren't expecting to almost miss their job at the cafe. it isn't that they miss most of it- they absolutely don't miss the rush hours and early mornings- but there's a scone-shaped hole in their heart that they're only just now realizing exists.
[break][break]
with their last baking catostrophe in their apartment, and the room the kitchen in the sub gave them, relocating had come as easily as breathing to kasper, with the worst of it being the bags hanging from their arms from their split-second decision.
[break][break]
and, as they walk into the kitchen, the way someone else seems to have the same idea. with all the baked goods, there's really no way for them to put anything down, and the culprit of it all blinks owlishly at them. kasper finds themself blinking back before they're holding out the bag in what would have been an unspoken offering.
[break][break]
if dee helps them make some scones, maybe they could trade?

For a moment, Fenelle's gears turn to figure out who the other grunt is - a vaguely familiar face, though this all doesn't quite matter given the far more interesting gesture. While coming off as a solo-person, Fenelle is actually not quite that much of one, and the idea of another baker is appealing. So, Fenelle nods as dee makes some room for the other to occupy, carefully and swiftly packaging up some of the goods into the boxes dee has brought before.

Tapping the empty space that dee has just created, dee looks at the other Rocket with a curious expression on der face, definitely asking in silence What do you want to make?

It only occurs to dem a heartbeat later that dee probably should get Rotom to do some mediation, so dee taps der wristwatch to wake the slumbering Rotom in der wristwatch. "I'm Fenelle, or Mille," is the first thing dee then gets it to translate from sign to words, however.

stress bakes

the other rocket doesn't tell kasper to fuck off, and, even better, dee seems to be willing to make room for their scones. and maybe help- they can only assume (or hope) that it's part of why they don't immediately start packing their stuff up to leave.
[break][break]
with the empty silence, kasper starts piling ingredients for scones onto the counter, only pausing when they realize that it's probably less of an answer than what was expected. a sheepish wince crosses their face, just for a second, as they take it all in and realize- yeah. this could have been anything.
[break][break]
"scones." they start, with a tap of the fillings they'd bought. "i used to make them for my old job, and they were- really good. i sort of got tired of them at the end, but." they shrug, as if that's that, unwilling to mention the fact that it was only their old job because kyogre had shown up in sootopolis and completely fucked everything up.
[break][break]
the movement from the other rocket makes them glance up, just in time to see big words flash across the rotom's screen. "i'm kasper." they feel almost awkward, then, with their own lack of cool nicknames.

There's no immediate answer as to what the other intends to make - which is frankly fair, since Fenelle hasn't even asked in any sort of verbal manner. The other Rocket merely puts their ingredients down, while Fenelle waits like a loading screen before a realisation hits. A Rotom is swiftly woken up just in time to catch Kasper's actual answer to der question, a happenstance that actually surprised dem positively.

(Maybe there's something wired differently in the brain of bakers and pastry enjoyers.)

But before dee replies, there's also introductions to be made! Fenelle nods at Kasper's introduction, filing that name away in der people database. "Did you work in a café or bakery?" dee asks, actually a bit curious. It might or might not have been a thought in times past - a café, warm and cosy.

So utterly unfitting to that space deep below sea level.

"Could I watch you? I don't really manage to get them as I'd want them to ..." dee admits. Despite mastering most other things, it seems like scones really had it out for them.

stress bakes

there's a moment where kasper can almost see the gears turning in fenelle's mind before it clicks for dem. and- yeah, maybe if it had been someone else, they would have almost been embarrassed being caught making scones. but there's baker solidarity there, and even if kasper doesn't know dem, it's more than enough to stop that.
[break][break]
"it was a cafe. in sootopolis." if there had been a question brewing of what had happened, or if kasper had been fired, they're sure it's answered just as quickly. "i can make coffee, too, but- i liked baking more. like baking more." because, even now, a part of them wants to wither and die at the memory of being forced to deal with brewing coffee in the middle of an early morning rush. at least they'd had some excuse with baking.
[break][break]
they shouldn't be surprised at the question. they're really not, truth be told, but something about it causes them to falter. "yeah! of course." and then, just as easily as breathing, kasper offers another baker-exclusive show of solidarity. "i can send the recipe to you later, too, if you want?"
