54 – Gingerbread

~Loaf of umber with sweet spices~

A sweet scent from deep in Saïx's memory wafted from the kitchen. With less conscious thought than he liked, he investigated.

"The icing's kinda like glue," Axel explained to Roxas and Xion. "That'll stick the walls together– Hey, Saï!"

Saïx paused. Now he's sharing our old tradition with them?

Axel dragged Saïx to the table. "You're better at gingerbread houses than me. Wanna help teach the kiddos?"

"Not particularly," Saïx said. Roxas and Xion shrunk away.

"You can eat some of my gingerbread."

"…I supposed it won't hurt."

By the end of the evening, they had built a gingerbread castle.

Umber: brownish-red.
