Snack on snack:

When Elanye was in the middle of delivering baked goods to the hotel at the request of Charlie. She almost dropped her cover dish when she came face to face with the newly dead Adam. His ash gray -skin with orange- yellow eyes that had dark bags underneath, a stubble-beard on his chin, and slightly messy, short ash gray with red streak colored hair. Pointed ears and inverted triangle body with little to no body fat. In clothes that were soaked with his body and dirt with noticeable stab wounds.

"You're that half breed witch with smarty pants brother… " Adam recalled her, "Looking good."

"You're still unsympathetic," She sent her owl to the hotel, "As usual."

"You know where a guy can go to tidy up?" He drew attention to his appearance.

"I can't take you home since my brother has never been a fan," She warned him, "Despite how much we share."

"Still a stick in the mud." Adam rolled his eyes.

"More like doesn't want ANYTHING to do with self- centered, sexist, egotistical jerk," She repeated her brother's words, "I don't care either way."

"…" Adam opened his mouth without a word coming out.

"You're not a fish." She reached out to close his mouth.

Adam fell onto the ground in a sour mood over an answer she gave him from her brother and his feelings. Picking up dirt and pouring it back onto the ground just processing the words. At a loss for words it seemed over what was said from someone he barely even knew.

"You coming?" She addressed him like he was a five year old, "I know somewhere that may take you, if you're willing to improve yourself."

"On record," he started to follow her, "I am only doing this out of boredom ."

Walk they took was him doing most of the talking by asking her questions about her attire. Why she wears a red, hooded, capelet with matching heels and carries a wicker basket. What she wore under her capelet and her hood was always drawn up. He then went on to ask her how a hell hound hadn't sexually assaulted her, for dressing like a little red riding hood. Ended when he asked where this help for him was coming. Her answer came in the form of a familiar location with Vaggie carrying her owl on her shoulder and Charlie close behind. Lucifer followed his daughter with Alastor popping out everyone's shadow. Niffty wanted to know what was in the covered dish that Elanye covered. Jumping up and down at her little feet while grabbing for the lid with her fingers.

"I couldn't stick completely with the traditional recipe," Elanye greeted Charlie, "Blame my brother's duck for guzzling the caramel I was using to make these."

She didn't get the lid fully off, so Lucifer scrambled forward to look at individual made caramel apples. Niffty went wide eyed at what was being shown to everyone. Each one didn't look like the other since they were a completely different way. Some were made from melted hard candies or white chocolate with crushed nuts. Others were toffee as the first layer with frosting as a second layer. A few were coated in marshmallow with rainbow sprinkles or crash cookies. Made it hard for him to start picking just one since each one was a work of art.

"I don't like apples," Adam's voice turned heads downwards, "When do we start sharing our feelings and singing Kumbaya, My Lord?"

"It's the guy I stabbed." Niffty pointed at him.

"Everyone," Elanye pulled back her hood, "Look who I found."

"Forgot you were a total babe," Adam slapped his forehead, "Should have listened to Azrael about you being good stock."

Lucifer's mood instantly soured upon watching how Adam spoke with Charlie stepped up. Holding his tongue when his daughter showed agreement with him by confronting Adam.

"Can we talk about your usage of words," Charlie didn't like what he said about Elanye, "Your attitude behind them."

"Really? 'Cause I never had a problem how I spoke before and don't see what the problem is now," Adam went on to air quotes in a dismissive manner, "My phrasing is the bomb and that is what makes me king."

Adam then went quiet at the sight of Vaggie handing Elanye's owl back to her with some advice. Telling her not to listen with Alastor suggesting they take the apples to the kitchen. Niffty went on about wanting to learn the recipes that made these sweet treats. Smile that appeared on Elanye's face was short-lived for Adam by Lucifer. Crease in his brows and clenched jaw were just one of the signs he was angry.

Everyone was given a chance to eat a Caramel or toffee apple during a fashion show, centered around Adam. Each one of the hotel's residents got a chance to put together an outfit in their style. Vaggie and Charlie were a little too cutesy while Angel Dust had a gangster quality and Husk was business casual. Cherri Bomb carried a rockstar/ punk style and Alastor's one was a classy appeal. Niffty's had a STRONG bdsm vibe with black leather and spandex. Lucifer's were modeled after attire worn in heaven from before his fall centuries ago. All the clothes were provided by Rosie after they got Adam's measurements. Left Adam with a wardrobe of sorts, a few pieces he lacked were donated. Elanye and her brother gave a few second hand pieces that were hand made, or Wywave don't wear anymore. Rosie chipped in also with whole outfits from her butchered victims; that had blood and other fluids washed out.

"Let's get you settled in a room." Charlie was ready to show Adam around.

"Rad." Adam gave her a thumbs up.

"You need some basic furniture," Elanye folds up Adam's discarded robe, "My brother has a few pieces he hasn't sold. "

"What he can't do with dead wood," Rosie spoke of Wywave's work, "A master craftsman."

"Do share," Angel Dust was kept from laughing by Husk, "We love to hear how skilled he is with dead wood."

This was where Elanye stopped taking bites of her apple and spun it around within one of her hands. Away her smile would disappear as memories of yearly Exterminations that took place flooded her mind with strong emotions. All revolved around the trees that held human souls being recklessly hacked. That was plucked from her hand by blackened fingers and the side of her face was coddled. A familiar thumb wipes away tears she didn't notice were spilling.

"Take your time," Lucifer encouraged her, "We're not going anywhere."

His small smile that formed on his face as their foreheads met allowed her to cheer up. Allowed her to take hold of his hand that was still resting on the side of her face. Their fingers weaving together with her leaning into the hand to find her voice again.

"The Exorcists would show little to no disregard for clusters of trees with their spears and reckless bloodthirsty," She sighed, "Not caring for the death wail the trees give out. Before the soul is extinguished and starts to rot from inside out unless it is taken down by my brother."

"Meaning?" Vaggie was on the edge of her seat.

"He burns incense," Elanye sniffled, "His way of honoring and purifying the wood as he shapes it."

"Giving the wood a second chance while being admired in a new form," Alastor summed up, "I have been needing to talk to him about needing a few new pieces for my radio tower."

Left everyone wondering what these pieces look like when Alastor spoke of Wywaver's artesian dining room table. He used natural risian and dye to fill in the cracks before he started working.

"He's up for some private consulting work?" Lucifer inquired, "I need some work done before I ask you to start sleeping over."

"I don't want all traces of your wife to be removed," Elanye didn't want him to change everything, "We keep the old Victrola record player's table, I want to restore some of the antique pieces, and I have some ideas for the headboard."

"How about the tub?" His grin got toothy as an old thought resurfaced.

They would have gone on when Angel Dust didn't interrupted with some advice about bath tub fun. Bringing up a low-budget porno series called Hot Tub High School, that he starred in. Before he went under contract to Valentino and his exclusive porn studio. He was willing to share with the two of them for a good time as a first time pairing. Shocked Lucifer when Elanye admitted that was one her favorite adult rated films. When she spoke of being a fan of the old style of pornography then newer versions. She was ready to share her list if Lucifer laughing didn't stop her. He openly told her that this is a surprishe would love to learn more about. Kiss on the cheek he got from her a heavy-lidded, half shut eyes looking back at him.

"Someone's going to be lucky." Angel Dust elbowed Lucifer.

Left Lucifer to gulp at the look of hunger within her eyes beside sultry, sexy vibes coming off her. As Elanye internally pat herself on her back for deciding on a smoky eye look. Externally the grip of her hand on his upon the side of her face got some extra attention. He ended up kissing the bottom of his palm with a lingering kiss. Pausing for a second when she felt the texture of his skin was like a glove. One she wore with her red capelet when she did her rounds as a delivery girl. She kept to herself for when they were alone and she could ask him about them.

"What a riot you are." Alastor laughed at Angel Dust's comment.

He was silenced when Elanye asked Lucifer wanted to share the rest of her half eaten apple. Pointing out how she was willing to hold a cooking lesson with him as her assistant. Just to allow everyone to make their own versions since what she brought was popular. They just had to tell her what apples they wanted and ingredients they wanted.

"I like that idea." Vaggie came to agree with Elanye.

Everyone started to talk about how they were decorated on their own as Alastor handed Elanye her half eaten apple to her. One of her fingers becomes equal to sliced pieces to hand to Lucifer. Got him to smile at these little discoveries of her when he ate them out of her fingers.

"I say make these anytime," He didn't completely withdraw his lips for her fingertips, "Since Caramel apples are my favorite food."

Way he watched those bedroom eyes he was getting so wide her eyes would pop out. Her lips shrunk into a small o- shape as her nostrils flared. Enough to make Lucifer's own expression soften as he adjusted his proximity next to her. Keeping their hands still connected. He went on to say it was one of the cutest features about her.

How the topic of a rooftop garden for the hotel came up when Charlie was seeing Wywave. Become a funny topic since she, Vaggie, nor Lucifer didn't know what flora they wanted with Alastor. How they found themselves in Wywave's garden with him pointing out his plants. A guide book about plants being looked over by Vaggie and Charlie during this tour. Which also gave the girls and Alastor a chance to look over the walking paths and where benches were placed. Explore the area and get back to Wywave about what they want done.

"I'll be near my sister's swing," Wywave instructed them, "We have a new addition to our orchard called Ghost apples. If you're interested."

Vaggie had to calm Charlie down when she didn't know what to check first. Hugging the book to her chest and fidgets in place out of excitement. Smile on her face over this little project they called their edan. Had her allow Charlie to talk her hand and walk them around while Alastor was left with Wywave.

"Has someone started believing in humanity again?" Alastor turned his head toward Wywave.

"Amputating Overlord tails gets boring," Wywave walked past him, "Seems I can't spend all my time as a recluse."

"This change of heart had to do with your sister." Alastor mentioned Elanye's love life.

"See for yourself." Wywave stopped at the border of his garden.

He revealed that his sister and Lucifer are here with Adam to start his rehab with the most basic activity. Learning basic hand stitching techniques through use of an embroidery hoop with blank cloth and threaded needle. Under Elanye's guidance Lucifer comforted Ajax as they all sat on a blanket.

"Are you feeling any better?" Lucifer asked the prehistoric duck.

Hearing about Ajax swallowing that much Caramel got Lucifer worried about the water fowl. Being here and checking in on him was turning out to be a perfect idea. Who seems to be loving the attention he was getting from Lucifer over the incident. He ended up rustling his feathers followed by a quack that had Lucifer cooing.

"Elanye?" Lucifer addressed her, "He's the cutest thing."

"I have never seen him take to someone so quickly." Elanye watched Ajax lower his neck to Lucifer.

"Who's a good boy?" Lucifers asked, allowing Ajax to nuzzle him.

Adam ended up cursing too loudly from pricking his finger on the needle's tip that he got quack at. To only tell a prehistoric duck to shut his beak for him to concentrate on practice. This made Ajax withdraw from the affection he was retrieving from Lucifer. Sinks in his long neck and rustles up his feathers out of anger at Adam's comment.

"You hurt his feelings." Lucifer pointed out to Adam.

"Why should I care about this bird brain?" Adam asked not to be bothered by Ajax beginning to waddle in place.

"You're about to get trampled into bloody pulp," Elanye explained, "Since you lack your divine gifts such as the ability to heal oneself after times of strife, you better run."

Adam ended up gently putting down the cloth occupied embroidery hoop where his stitch work sat. Slowly got up when Ajax rose from his nest with wings slowly opening just staring at him. Edge off the blanket asking Ajax to chill as he stood up halfway. Never happen when Ajax let out a loud quack before taking off after Adam. Off the blanket to get as much distanced away from the large feather fowl Adam went.

"Oh no." Elanye held a thumbal she was supposed to give Adam.

"Well too late," Lucifer was cheering for Ajax, "I say let them hash it out."

"Lunch?" Elanye drew toward the basket, "Brother! Alastor! Come join us."

Variety of food she cooked ranged from a 7- organ soup for Alastor using deer and Exorcists' organs. Had Alastor reminding her that Rosie still wanted this recipe from her. Which had her directing him like always toward her brother for permission. Ended in a quiet stand still between the two as Lucifer wrapped an arm around Elanye's waist. Onto her shoulder he rested a chin just watching the two stare at each other.

"I am liking how this day is turning out." His breath mixed with his flicking tongue tickled her ear.

She giggled and good bumps formed on her skin as their hands met with their fingers quietly intertwining. Jointly became a tight grip as she reclined backward into his embrace looking up.

"You're not the only one." She whispered back.

Their lips met with her surprising Lucifer by being the one that innovated their kiss for one. Way she slowly tranced his bottom lip with her tongue without wetting the skin. Just enough to start nibbling within her front teeth before she moved on. Had his head angled for a better advantage when he got more into the kiss.
