When in doubt, bake

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Kira might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but she can tell when something is bothering someone, especially if those someones are members of her family. There's a strange sort of tension in the air and she can't figure it out, which just makes her anxious. So, in an effort to calm herself down, Kira is baking. A lot. This kitchen has nearly every available surface covered in delicious baked goods, from cakes to pies and even homemade bread. One might even notice suspicious chocolate stains at the corner of Kira's lips, because she's been stress-eating everything chocolate that's been baked.]

[So - huh. The place has turned into an edible explosion. This is new.

Tasty, but new.]

... you look like you've been busy?

[Kira pauses in rolling out new pie crust and gives a bit of a smile; she's probably familiar with Layla, seeing as her 'cousin' Riku is totes BFF with your dad]

I was sort of bored, Layla.

[Hee. She gives a smile back, all sympathetic.]

Oh! Well, I guess this isn't a bad way to deal with it.

[Oh please say there's banana nut bread in there, Avani is craving some bad right now. She's poking her head in and looking. ]

[Here's someone pretty elusive, peering around the doorway to see who is in the kitchen. He may have been glimpsed before, slipping in and out of Kai and Axel's room. It's very likely that Kira has even met an older version of him in the future. This one is much more wary than his future version.]

[Did someone say chocolate? Better yet, did someone say baked goods? Guess who's sliding in the door. Go on, guess. She might not recognize him! He is surprisingly clean and not gross today!]

[there is indeed banana nut bread! Kira seems to be making people's favorites]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Riku will be getting a friendly smile, slightly marred by flour streaked across Kira's cheek]

Hello, Riku.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Kira will always know your Heart, so you get a bright smile]

Aden! I wondered when you would show up.

[hallowedshore]

[Then she will know that the way to his Heart is paved with pies. Good gracious, does he like pies. What kinds are there?]

Huuuh. Almost makes it sound like I've walked straight into your trap. What's with all the sweets?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[there are many pies! mostly fruit, though Aden will be able to find chocolate silk pies if he looks hard enough]

I just felt like baking.

stupid typo

Busy hands are happy hands! Did you want anything? There's plenty.

[captive_destiny]

[He almost rabbits out of there when she spots him, only to hesitate at a vague familiar feeling to her. At this age he's only seen her from a distance, and his own room would be the one her uncle Kai technically uses as storage for his belongings. There's a gleaming steel collar with two decorative tags dangling from it at his neck, and he's wearing a very simple outfit of black shirt, black pants and bare feet, reminiscent of those worn beneath Organization coats.]

..... Hello?

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[Score! She's sliding in, grabbing a knife before she yoinks the banana nut bread and cuts off a chunk, slathering it in the butter she grabs out of the fridge.]

So what's up?

[hallowedshore]

[If there were pumpkin pie she'd have him eating out of the palm of her hand. Actually, wait, she can do that with chocolate pie too. Once he finds one he might try to slip it into his jacket. So subtle.]

Baking what, everything?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Not much, Avani. I'm just baking. You?

[Kira brushes a lock of hair away from her face and manages to streak flour on her cheek]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Don't be shy. You can come in. Did you want anything to eat?

[captive_destiny]

I thought maybe Kai was in here.

[It certainly smells that way.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[pumpkin is also available! Kira is also rolling out more pie crust]

Not everything. That would be silly. Can you get me another pie tin?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Uncle Kai? No, I think he's in his room. And the younger-Kai is in the library, last I knew.

[hallowedshore]

I could clean one out for you.

[With his mouth. He could eat all of these. Pumpkin pumpkin oh my god. Maybe he'll mix chocolate and pumpkin, oh my god. As if he's never done that before.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[that makes Kira giggle happily]

If you can eat a whole pie in ten minutes and wash the tin, I'll make this next pumpkin one just for you.

[captive_destiny]

He's your uncle?

[The most experience he's had with the older Kai is when a certain red-haired baby was born.]

[hallowedshore]

[Would you just look at how he brightens. He's already going to fetch a fork.]

You're on.

Heh. You can be my test subject for triple chocolate pumpkin pie (http://www.yumsugar.com/Triple-Chocolate-Pumpkin-Pie-Recipe-6051979) then.
