( I'm on fire today!🔥🔥🔥🔥 so much to write and so little time! Just been getting a flood of ideas lately)
Everyone is in this chaper;
With espresso finally ready he head's out to meet Madeleine at the kingdom bakery, it was late afternoon now just before dusk when espresso arrived.
Madeleine;
Madeleine was waiting outside the bakery the smell of all the delicious food was enough to make anyone hungry. Madeleine was stood just outside the outside sitting area, it being a special occasion he had not worn his amour instead he chose a white button up shirt with a bow tie that seemed to sparkel, much like the Knight himself in the sun. In his hand a small bunch of mixed flowers from herb's shop.
He anxiously looked around, he could see many cookies enjoying their day. But no espresso......
The Knight frowned slightly and looked down at the ground....
When he saw a black pair of shoes approaching. Madeleine's eye's lit up! He looked up and saw..
" Espresso.." Madeleine was stunned.. there he was, dusk approaching with him. The whole world seem to stop. Espresso always dressed formally but tonight... tonight was extra special long, sleek black shoe's. Pinstripe trousers, clipped together by black suspenders and a black shirt. Topped with his famous Cape as always,
"Beautiful..." Madeleine mumbled completely star struck as espresso approached,
" What's that?" Espresso asked, not hearing what the Knight said on his arrive.
" you're beautiful" Madeleine spoke softly, holding out the flowers he brought.
Espresso couldn't help but blush slightly, he wasn't use to romantic gestures. If anything he denied the concept of all normal romantic gifts, chocolate makes you fat. Besides who knew what people we're allergic to nowadays?, flowers are pretty but they die in week. What does that really say about a relationship any way?
Espresso couldn't help but
be pessimistic... and yet.
Espresso glanced over to the Knight once more, even without the sun he seemed to shine! He was adorable in everywhere possible... this made espresso smile slightly, and feel warm on the inside.
What an idiot .. he thought his face still red from such a small romantic gesture, he took the flowers from Madeleine and inhaled their wonderful sent. There was a big, beautiful purple flower that was in the middle. That kept the smaller flowers in place, " thank you Madeleine " Espresso shyly replied
Madeleine held out his strong arm, offering to lead the way into the bakery. Espresso chuckled, with flowers in one hand he took Madeleine's arm with the other. Feeling how strong Madeleine actually was, even surprised espresso. As they strolled into the bakery arm in arm. He could feel his muscles, espresso had always wonder how he lifted that sword of his with just one hand.
Thinking of all this made espresso's heart race. They we're in the que to order now and he felt his face burn hot with blush. He wondered what others thought seeing the two together? Espresso shock his head from the anxiety, focus he thought.
Calming himself, it doesn't matter what anyone thought. Espresso took a deep exhale, pushing the worrisome thoughts back for now. He tured his attention back to Madeleine. Which wasn't the best idea because seeing his face reminded espresso of his original dilemma! But this time it seemed to slip out into words
" you're really strong..." Espresso mumbled, embarrassed to reveal his train of thought. Still, espresso was pretty sure that he read somewhere it was good to compliment you're date.
This took Madeleine a little by surprise. He was still getting use to this new side of espresso, he never knew he would love espresso's quirks so much. The way he was so shy and sweet, it made the butterflies in his stomach fluter.
" but of course..." he whisperd back a slight Mischievous grin on his face, as they took a few steps forward in the line. Not far from the counter now,
Espresso wasn't sure about that Mischievous glint in his eye's right now, why Madeleine had manged to keep his voice to a reasonable level, he was still his boisterous self. You can take the Knight out the armour as they say...
Espresso smiled to himself, he never thought he would grew to like Madeleine's outlandish attitude but he had to admit he was warming up to the knight "annoying" side.
Finally they arrived at their turn,going up to the counter the order was pretty simple, one box of 10 sugar doughnuts to share and a bakery bun for them each. A coffee of course for espresso and a vanilla milkshake with whipped cream for Madeleine. After they order, they found a spare booth inside the cafe to sit until their food arrived.
( meanwhile at the edge of the forest, just outside the kingdom)
Pomegranate, dark choc, red velvet and licorice;
" there it is. ." Red velvet grumbled peering though the thick trees" " thank earthbread where here!" Licorice heaved, catching his breath by a near by tree before pushing to the front. " let's go...." He said exhausted... talking q small steap outside their cover,
" noooo!" Pomegranate quickly yanked licorice back into the woods by the edge of his cloak, " have you forgotten the plan entirely?! She sneered at his idiotic behaviour holding onto him with an iron grip. " it is not time yet!" She reminded him.Licorice looked over his shoulder, past the trees he could see the sky turning to dusk as the sun slowly setting. ' when do we go?" Licorice almost mocked the idea of waiting any longer, they had been travelling for days as it it, and for most of it he's Been the group's Donkey carrying all their stuff.
Pomegranate huffed angrily " we wait until the sun has set. We will have the best advantage at night!" Pomegranate didn't know why she bothered explaining. It was like trying to talk to a bunch untrained puppies! " now listen..." she barked, finally letting go of poor licorice and huddling the rest of the cookies of darkness around her.
" I'll only say this once" she clarified making sure to have everyone's attention. Pointing at red velvet she spoke with confidence " Red velvet you will take dark chco and block the back of the kingdom". Red velvet gave an affirmed nod, while dark chco just grumbled annoyingly in his usual dark tone. Pomegranat decided to ignore the knights attitude for now...mahe could deal with later. For now she had bigger bigger fish to fry, or well, bigger cookies to SNAP! Would be a more fitting metaphor for her current situation.
" me and licorice will attack from head on! Will break down thoses flooshish cookies for good! And In the mist of the panic they won't know what hit them!!" Pomegranate was truly sinful, her tone determined and wicked!
