Oh hey!" Sterling seemed to have an Idea. "I was planning on baking something while the kids watch a movie. You want to assist me with that?" He asked Trixie. "I would love to, what do you want to make?" "Cookies are always good– I also have things to make brownies. If either of those sound off-limits, we can run out and grab things for something else." "Do you have almonds here? I'm thinking we could make macarons." Trixie smiled. "Yeah! Those sound pretty good." He gets up and starts walking to the kitchen. "Well, let's see what there is to watch." The oldest kid grabbed a remote, after looking around the group in the room.
"So, tell me about yourself." Trixie tied an apron around her waist. "I love to cook. I love my kids. I like horror, surprisingly– and I've been told that Cafe you work at is haunted, hm?" He pulled things out of cupboards and cabinets. "Oh yeah. Haunted. She's been there since before the cafe was even built. Their name is Rosemary, I think that she died in a car crash, not sure." She poured flour into a bowl "Yeesh, tell me some news that doesn't break my heart!" He joked.
"In seriousness, bless them. What are they like?" He went from looking back-and-forth at her and a recipe. "Well, she's twenty-two, she has a crush on our co-worker Nyx, they've been dead since 2012, and they love pokemon." She grabbed the mixer from a cabinet
"She sounds great. Not very scary for a spirit. What about you? Tell me about yourself." "Well what do you want to know?" "Oh, just casual things. Buddy compares you to an old lady a lot, in a more playful manner than disrespectful. Any reason for that?" Beatrix laughed, "Well I knit, crochet, sew, bake, and I'm the mom friend. That's probably why." "You sound so kind! I've heard older folk are very wise, too." He dumped the flour and egg whites into the mixer.
She put in the sugar, spilling some on herself, "I make a lot of my own clothes, for example I made these earrings, my necklace, and my cardigan." He fakes a faint. "I'm impressed, so impressed that I've passed out on the countertops." She laughed at him "You've got flour in your hair!" She didn't stop laughing. "Oh, no. Do I?" He brushed out his hair with his hands, hoping to mostly dust it out. "Glad I can be such a jester for you." He laughs.
"QUIET DOWN IN THERE! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO WATCH THE LITTLE MERMAID IN HERE!" Guy yelled at them, they laughed louder. "SORRY GUY!" Trixie yelled back, you could hear the smile in her voice. "We'll try!" Sterling yelled along, letting out a laugh when finishing the sentence. He turned on the mixer. "So, the wingman and granny are getting along pretty well. We sound like quite the chaotic pair!" "I'd bet so, hah." She smiled. He smiled back. "I know so."
