[IC] The castle

"You'r welcome" Nadia said, smiling at him. She looked at him and then at Tear, wondering if Alexi was going to continue to help her seeing that Tear was there.

[Briza]

"What's wrong, Princess Nadia?" the Prince pondered aloud, wondering why she was looking at him so curiously. He smiled at Tear, trying to make his mood seem welcoming as opposed to his previous, sheepish and childish opening to her arrival.

[Nuttynad]

"oh uhm, I was wondering if you could pour the flour mixture into this bowl while i mix.." Nadia said, smiling at Alexi. He seemed happier for some reason.

[Briza]

"Oh," his voice was cool, soothing, "Okay. I think that is fine," he said, turning from Tear, ignoring the woman for the time being. He did not know much about baking, but obviously, if Nadia needed something he was all for it, "You seem happier than earlier. That comforts me. ." He was surprised his com purse bounced back to a normal edge of superiority. Perhaps, it was Nadia's change in pace.

[Nuttynad]

"Well, you did try and comfort me" Nadia said softly, blushing a little. As Alexi helped her, they soon finished making the batter for the cookies with Nadia adding chocolate chips in it at the end. Smiling Nadia turned to Tear and Alexi. "Now to form the cookie shape~" She said happily and took a spoon, making small blobs on a baking tray.

[Briza]

Aleksandr enjoyed baking with Nadia. He was not sure if he would have enjoyed it otherwise. It seemed like a task made for someone of a different interest. He prefer sword play, gun play, his books, etcetera.

Form the shape of a cookie? Of course, they were not just round.

He smiled, "Of course," he began padding the cookies into flattened circles. His large hands could easily maneuver the dough. Nadia's small hands worked swiftly, through which he enjoyed watching from the corner of his eye. "Is this a favorite activity of yours, Nadia?"

[Nuttynad]

"Well, I like it" She said happily. "It's not like cooking where sometimes you have to rush to cook the food. It's quite peaceful" she smiled and continued making the cookie shapes. She glanced at Alexi from the corner of her eye, happy to see him happy to spend time with her.
