Omega19x: *knock knock on the Ishtar house door*
ph33r my rod: *answers door* *blink* "... Hello, Ryou." *smile*
Omega19x: "Um... Isis? Can I ask you a really big favor? ... please?"
ph33r my rod: *blink* "Sure... what is it?"
Omega19x: "Can... can I use your kitchen for... a few days? I... need to do a lot of baking."
Omega19x: "... Malik and my... um... our one year anniversary is coming up, and I want to do something really really special for him."
ph33r my rod: "...ohhh, and you wouldn't be able to use the kitchen in your house because he'd smell the baking and it'd ruin the surprise, so to speak." *smiles* "Yes, of course you can borrow mine."
Omega19x: "yeah. And... and I'm going to be making a lot of cream puffs. And he'll see them if I don't."
Omega19x: "Thank you so much, Isis."
ph33r my rod: "Anytime. You must be making a lot of puffs if you're going to need a few days to do it, hm?"
Omega19x: "... oh yes. I'm making puffs to represent the things we've done together this year!"
ph33r my rod: "Oh, that's sweet. It'll bring back good memories, I'm sure..."
Omega19x: "I hope so!"
Omega19x: "I want it to be the best anniversary ever!"
Omega19x: *biiiiig smile*(
ph33r my rod: *smiles back* "I'm sure it will be. It's already been a year... time goes by so fast, doesn't it?"
Omega19x: "It... it does. It really does."
ph33r my rod: "And just think, before you know it, it'll be two, three, four years... and even longer than that."
Omega19x: *blush* "... I guess so."
Omega19x: *smile*
ph33r my rod: *steps aside so he can come in* "But anyway, yes, the kitchen is open."
Omega19x: "Thank you, Isis."
Omega19x: "... Let me get some of my baking things out of the car."
ph33r my rod: "Alright. Do you need any help?"
Omega19x: *he rushed back to his car, and pulled out several pots, pans, bowls, the things he usually used when he made cream puffs. "... there's some flour in the back seat... and several cartons of eggs. Can you get those for me, please?"
ph33r my rod: *nods and goes to get them*
Omega19x: *carries the supplies in, and sets them on Isis' counter, and then goes back out to help her bring actual ingredients out of the car*
ph33r my rod: *wheee getting stuff*
Omega19x: *puts refrigerated ingredients in refrigerator.*
Omega19x: "... I'm going to make a lot of puffs!"
ph33r my rod: "I'd be glad to help out with them, if you need it. I'm sure you don't want to overwhelm yourself with so many puffs."
Omega19x: "... I've got a week to make them. It won't be too hard... Besides, each puff will be made with lots of love! Just for Malik!"
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "Alright, if you say so. Though I do have to work this week; if you need it, I'll get you a key so you can come in and work if I'm not here."
Omega19x: "Oh thank you, thank you!"
ph33r my rod: *goes to get her purse, digging out the extra key Malik used to have* "Here." *hands it to Ryou* "I trust you with my house, so feel free to come and go as you need to."
Omega19x: "... thank you Isis."
Omega19x: *put the key in his pocket*
ph33r my rod: "You're welcome." *smiles*
Omega19x: "... so... how have things been... going for you, Isis?"
ph33r my rod: *sits down at the table* "They've been alright, I suppose. The house feels a little empty since you and Malik have moved out, but that's alright. I think it's a good thing for both of you."
Omega19x: "... you're not lonely, are you?"
ph33r my rod: "Well, I've been worse, but this house just feels so... big since it's just me here now."
ph33r my rod: (( Am totally disregarding Mana here, because she needs to be cut anyway. :\ ))
Omega19x: "... you... should invite some... some friends over. Maybe have them stay with you some time."
Omega19x: "You... hang out with my sister a lot... right? I... I bet she'd like to come over for one of those... 'girls night in?' things... I think..."
ph33r my rod: *blushes faintly, remembering the last time they hung out* "...well, yes. I did tell Amane I'd like to get together again sometime. That might be fun."
Omega19x: "... I'll even baby-sit if she needs me too. She... she could probably use a break from taking care of little Sharik."
Omega19x: "I know how hard babies can be..."
ph33r my rod: "Oh yes, I'm sure. They must be a handful."
