Rabbits are small mammals with long ears, short tails, and long hind legs.
The air was filled with the sweet smells of sugars, spices, cinnamon, and flour alongside various fruits.
CHOP. CHOP. CHOP. CHOP.
The sounds of a clever coming down to cut the remains of a poor defenseless apple sounded out as you hummed along with the tune of music only you knew about. Hair pulled up in a messy bun, sleeves rolled up, apron on, and stains of flour and different sauces covering said apron. The nearby windows were open allowing the extra heat and sweet smells to pour out into the cool morning air and inviting others near your little shop.
Humming along you chopped up the fifth apple you'd be needing for the pies to later be sold in town for money. You hummed continuing to cut it up carefully before tossing the core to the side to be used as fertilizer before carefully picking up the cutting board and using the knife to carefully scrape the apple slices into the bowl next to you before turning around to grab the next apple on the table. However you stopped seeing a movement in the corner of your eyes. Pausing mid grab wit one hand hovering over the basket of apples, your head turned towards the open window facing the woods at the back of your house.
And saw two long white rabbit ears twitching at the bottom of the windowsill..
Any other normal person would've wondered how big of a rabbit it was or wondered how a rabbit got high enough to stand just under the window, but you knew what it was all too well actually. You watched amused as they twitched with every sound before you chuckled.
"Hi, Nezuko. You should know you forgot to hide your ears again. It seems both you and Tanjiro have that in common."
There was a pause before a second later a teenage girl in a pink kimono rose up to her full height. If it wasn't for the rabbit ears twitching on her head, she would've looked just like any other normal person.
"I actually wasn't trying to hard to sneak up on you though." She smiled.."I'm much better at hiding than Tanjiro is."
"I don't doubt that. Did your mom send you to pick up the pies I promised?"
She nodded happily. "Are the finished?"
"They sure are! I made yours first!" You took time out to walk over and grab a rather large basket with a blanket thrown over the top before taking it to the window as the girl leaned over to look at it expectantly as a hand pulled back the blanket revealing a plethora of pies. "I made a couple apple cinnamon, a blueberry, pumpkin, two lemon meringue, and just for your father a chicken pot pie with his favorite vegetables." You lowered the blanket back over them.
"This is great! Everyone's going to live them! Thank you so much!" She held out her hands and you handed it right over.
"Do you need help carrying it? It's a little heavy."
"No. I got it." She heaved it over the windowsill and onto the other side with a grunt. "Thanks, Y/n! These are gonna taste delicious!"
You nodded. "Have your mom stop by tomorrow and I'll give you guys whatever I don't sell too."
