Chapter: Fox
This is… not what he expected.
"Come on," Hyan urges. His three eyes blink. "I swear it tastes better than it looks."
The human stares at the Faunus, unamused.
"You've got a better sense of taste than I do," Hyan peruses. "And you love my sweets. It just looks like crumble."
Fox pointedly does not reach for the fork.
Hyan blinks again. He looks to the plate of cold, liquid-y, jello-like innards spilling out of the baked desert. Then looks back up.
"… there aren't any raspberries," Hyan offers.
Well then.
Fox grabs the fork and digs in.
He gives a thumb up.
The up-and-coming baker sighs and closes his eyes. He rubs the skin around the eye on his forehead. "At the least, is the crust alright?"
A so-so hand wave.
"Ouch," Hyan winces. "Too soggy or to hard?"
Fox raises two fingers.
"Fudge," Hyan mutters, propping his head on his hands. He and Fox get into a stare down. "Do you think there should be less inside?"
Fox waves away that idea. He motions around, still chewing.
"Right," Hyan sighs. "I'll try to make it thicker next time. Hopefully it doesn't crack again." A pause. "Thanks for testing."
Fox shrugs.
He really doesn't mind.
Free food and great conversation.
He didn't even know he wanted that from his soulmate until he met the young man.
'Thank you for coming.'
"Do you want anything before you head out?" Hyan asks, breaking Fox from his thoughts.
The copper haired man pulls out a small sheet of paper.
"Oh, is the carrot cake for your new member?"
Fox nods.
"And do you want the usual?"
Another nod.
"I'll be right back with the orders!"
Fox smirks and leans back in the seat.
Free food for his entire team whenever they stop by.
His best friend is awesome.
