Husk walks into the Hotel's kitchen and sees Vaggie looking in a cook book trying to find what they should cook.

Husk: *walks behind Vaggie* "so what do you wnat me to do here?"

Vaggie: *jumps and turns around not realising he was there* "Husk! Oh right. You can bake right?"

Husk: *raises an eyebrow* "where'd you hear that?"

Vaggie: *tilts her head slightly* "didn't you bake Niffty's birthday cake? I just thought it was delicious so maybe you could bake a cake for desert"

Husk: *rolls his eyes* "oh right.... Sure I'll do it"

Vaggie: *raises an eyebrow* "really?"

Husk: "mhm any particular cake you want?"

Vaggie: *narrows her eyes* "why did you agree so easily?"

Husk: *sarcastically* "cause I want to poison everyone"

Vaggie: *rolls her eyes* "seriously"

Husk: *tries to force a smile* "can't I want to contribute more?"

*Vaggie raises an eyebrow*

Husk: *sighs* "fine. I need advice"

Vaggie: *confused* "Advice?"

Husk: *nods* "y'know... Love advice"

Vaggie: *smirks* "love?"

Husk: *looks away* "yes but you can't tell Charlie.... I don't want to risk anyone else knowing"

Vaggie: *smirks* "you like Angel don't you?"

Husk: *goes a bit red* "what?"

Vaggie: "Niffty may have saw Angel scratching your head and told me about it...."

Husk: *goes more red* "fucksake Niffty"

Vaggie: "I'll take that as a yes"

Husk: *tries to hide the redness on his face* "can you give me advice or not?"

Vaggie: "I'd love to help... Plus Charlie would kill me if she found out I refused to help you"

Husk: *sighs* "thank you.... I guess"

Vaggie: *smirks* "why don't you try taking up Angel on his sexual offers?"

Husk: "Its not an-.... I just don't want to just fuck him.... I want to go out with him and take him somewhere nice and romantic and end the date with the perfect first kiss" *trills slightly thinking about it*

Vaggie: *widens her eyes* "oh you REALLY like him huh?"

Husk: *looks away and nods*

Vaggie: *smiles warmly* "have you tried asking him out?"

Husk: "what? No I can't just ask him out? What if he doesn't like me?"

Vaggie: "what if the guy who constantly flirts with you doesn't like you?"

Husk: "he flirts with every guy within eyesight"

Vaggie: "he doesn't look at every guy the same way he looks at you"

Husk: "maybe he does? Or maybe he hates me"

Vaggie: *puts hand on his shoulder as she looks at Husk a bit concerned* "woah woah no. He doesn't hate you and he won't ever hate you"

Husk: *his fur spikes slightly and ears go down* "what if he does"

Vaggie: "then I'll force him to like you"

Husk: "woah no!"

Vaggie: "okay I'll just strongly encourage"

Husk: *hisses slightly* "you can't threaten him"

Vaggie: *laughs and manages to say* "sorry but your hissing"

Husk: *rolls his eyes* "just how am I supposed to ask him out if I don't know if he likes-"

*Angel walks in*

Angel: "Hey Vag I may not be able to make it tonight... I have a long shoot tonight... Oh hey~ kitty~"

Husk: *blushes and gets flustered* "uh oh uh... Hey Angel... Haha"

*Vaggie facepalms*

Angel: *concerned* "you okay Husky~?"

*Husk is too flustered to respond*

Vaggie: *decides to speak* "Husk is just distracted trying to think of something to make for food. Don't worry we'll save some food for you to eat tomorrow"

Angel: *nod and looks at Husk slightly less concerned* "okay well see ya sweeties~"

*Angel leaves and Vaggie immediately chuckles*

Vaggie: "god you really are a mess around him"

Husk: *mutters* "shut up"

Vaggie: "just ask him out"

Husk: "y'know what forget about it! Just what sort of cake do you want me to make?"

Vaggie: "anything would be nice but still..... I'm just saying you won't be able to get with him if-"

Husk: "whatever"
