02. Cake
There was a cake with his face staring at him.
Shinon-the-Cake glared up at Shinon-the-Man, who was glaring in response.
"Mist?" He kept his voice carefully sedate.
"…yes?"
"This is very well done." Must. Not. Kill. Children.
"…happy birthday?"
Shinon's eye twitched. "Who told you that?"
"Um…"
There was a clash from the other side of the kitchen, then the sound of feet pounding the ground accompanied by the exceedingly familiar clang of armor.
"Ah." Gatrie only acted like a child, and that made him fair game.
"Please don't kill him, Shinon, we need him for our next assignment."
Shinon sighed. "Fine."
Ike may have thought Shinon was sparing Gatrie because he requested it and he was Commander. But no. The look Oscar sent him over Ike's shoulder was the reason Gatrie would live to make another mistake.
Oscar was a very good cook, very clever, and Shinon took threats of food poisoning very seriously.
