Pegasus knocked on the door where he knew that Ryou would be. He never tried one of those...um...puffs before, and he wondered if he could ask for one. Theu soounded...delightful. But he had to be sure. All the talk around Domino about it sounded very good. Besides, he knew Ryou's bright personality would cheer him up.

Ryou was behind the counter, and looked up. People don't usually knock on the bakery door before entering, especially not during normal business hours. When he saw a slightly uncomfortable looking Pegasus, he waved the man in.

He felt a little nervous entering a public place. He didn't usually leave his home and, therefore, was not accustomed to the way things worked. He opened the door and approached the counter.
"Hello" Pegasus gestured a greeting to Ryou as he stood there, quite uncomfortably.

"Hi, Pegasus." Ryou smiled cheerfully. He knew he didn't see the other out much, not since the snowball fight! "I haven't seen you in a long time. You been okay?"

"I've been better." Pegasus replied in a less than cheerful tone,"Just, the usual life..." He looked around. It looked, cozy. Very unique. He liked it. "I thought I'd come and purchase one of those...puffs, do you call them?"

"Nothing brightens your day more than a freshly baked cream puff!" Ryou just smiled.

"You are certainly cheerful today, aren't you?" Pegasus sighed,"I wish I could be like that." He quickly changed the subject,"How much do I owe you?"

Ryou listed the prices for a couple of different puffs. "Do you want a regular puff? Or one of our special puffs of the month? ... Let's see... May, we have our special 'April Showerpuffs bring May Flowerpuffs' line!"

He looked a little confused, but went along with it,"Whatever you think is the best, I'm willing to pay"

Pegasus really did look like he needed a little cheer. "I'll make you a special boquet."

The flowerpuffs were filled with light spring-time flavors, like lemon and strawberry, and iced on the outside to look like flowers. Hard candy formed petal shapes. And each puff was served on a long green skewer, to act as a stem. Ryou took a few, and tied a little ribbon around them. "Here you go!"

A suprised look was set on Pegasus's face. He hadn't seen anything quite like that. Not saying it was bad, only commeting in his head that he'd have to come here more often.

"How much do I owe you" He asked once more, looking almost quizzically for the second time within five minutes, even before he took a bite.

"That'll be 2000 yen."

Of course, Ryou, being Ryou, threw in a few extra flower puffs into the bouquet at no extra charge.

Pegasus handed Ryou the money that was owed after rummaging for it for a few minutes. He smiled and took a bite of one of the flowery puffs. With a satisfied grin, he looked over to Ryou and hugged him over the counter.
"That was the greatest thing I had ever tasted in my life"

Ryou beamed. He loved getting compliments on the puffs he baked. "Glad you liked them, Pegasus! You should really come by more often, then..."

"I think I should, that was amazing!" Pegasus seemed very happy, like he hadn't been in a while. He quickly changed the subject again though,"So...how are you and Malik?"

"We're good... not sick anymore, thank goodness! There was quite a bug going around! I... I think Mokuba's still sick with it!"

"Oh, well that's good that you two are not sick anymore...Yes, I did hear something about Mokuba not feeling well as well"

"It was terrible... I couldn't come in and make puffs for over a week..."

"That must have been horrible" Pegasus looked over at him,"What did you do when you were sick?"

"Mostly had to stay in bed and... and watch tv... that sort of thing. I had to bring in some other bakers to help me here. I'd... I'd rather be doing it myself, you know? I like to make sure each puff has just the right amount of love in it!"

"That's...um...sweet" Pegasus loved the ideas that Ryou had, but he was a little afraid he was going to get diabetes after too much sugar from Ryou's kindness.

"What have you been up to lately? I haven't heard anything about Industrial Illusions on the news much..."

"I've been out of the country latley. Haven't been home much. Just working on a lot of new advancements in the company"

"oh... I see." Ryou nodded. "Can't share company secrets any more than I share puff recipes!"

"Exactly" Pegasus stated,"Some people don't understand that consept"

"I don't see what's so hard about it..." Ryou scratched his head.
