Chapter 14 - Reflection

--
Pastry Pov

The cakehounds are well fed, played with and brushed. Which means Pastry's work was done. It is pretty exhausting, but when it's with Red Velvet it doesn't feel so bad. Was it because of how he wasn't bothered at all? Was it mirroring onto her? Or was some other mysterious factor to blame?

- We are done for the day then." He said and she lifted her head up.

- Then what happens now?" She asked and tried to figure out what she had forgotten.

- We have to get something to eat too." The thought of eating had slipped her mind completely. One would think she'd keep track, but she really didn't. She got so used to her old routine of meals. They weren't even proper meals, bread and milk isn't the finest dish. Pastry really deep inside appreciated Red Velvet pressing her to eat some more.

- Aslong as there will be no weird starjellies." She meant it as lighthearted but Red Velvet didn't take the hint.

- It won't happen again, I discussed it with Pomegranate. I have faith she got the message."

- It's fine, really. I was just.. making a joke? That's what to call it right?"

- Pomegranate's stunts are not a laughing matter. Who cares if she found it thrilling, this behavior is unacceptable." Pastry had noticed Red Velvet wasn't too fond of the cookie, but to think he disliked her so strongly? Was he this upset after what happened? She was going to ask where he was earlier but stopped herself. Astonishingly, he mentioned it himself. I guess it was evident the unanswered bothered her.

- I went to confront her the very moment I caught a glimpse of her. Fortunately or unfortunately, that was why I wasn't here."

- Oh I see then.."

- If it makes you feel at ease, your mistake has been made up for."

- Thank you. I'm sorry but I just can't forgive myself that easily."

- No harm was done, everything is exactly like it was before." Pastry knew he wasn't the most sympathetic on earthbread, but his responses were mild. It's like he was two sided, not in a bad way though. He is a wild mix of hot and cold, you never know which it is. It's not that she was looking for more comfort, but it feels nice to receive some.

- Right.. ofcourse." After her comment their conversation reached it's end. It would be best not to say something stupid to avoid making things worse than they are. Despite this she still wanted to take the chance and lighten the mood. Pastry still had in mind what Red Velvet said just now. It hit her that he has never been kind to a cookie, exception being Dark Enchantress. His attitude towards co-workers was sharp and harsh for all she knew. Him being this nice felt like a miracle, or rather, an order.

The two said their farewells to the cakes and left the room. Red Velvet proceeded to close the door with a silver key. He double checked if it's locked and only then turned around.

- Are those security measures for me?" She asked and couldn't help but smile.

- Pfft, if it was you I'd need to triple lock it." Was he teasing her just now?

- Heh, double would probably do." She heard her stomach rumble and guessed she wasn't the only one that did.

- That's the signal to get going." Red Velvet grabbed her by the hand to drag her forward just like before. Pastry didn't refuse, maybe this is a kind gesture from his side. As they were moving forward he quickly did a sudden announcement.

- I have to get back to the oven soon. We need more cakes to dispatch."

- I'm not wasting your time right?"
