[It's not out of the norm for him to show up at her door with zero warning. Or to look chipper as ever when he does. But his good mood seems more real this morning, his doofy grin with its missing tooth is subtly different. A better look.

Yep. He found the photo. It worked. What a wonderful thing to wake up to. Her place is his first stop of the day, once tears are shed and he can tear himself away from it, the next best thing to being with them.]

Buenos días, Muffin!

[...Some things will never change.]

Scones, actually. They'll be out of the oven in a few minutes.

[Well, at least her morning baking is on time as always.]

[She can't quite keep herself from smiling at him, however.]

You seem in a good mood, today.

[vagabone]

Bah!

[He's not annoyed or all that good at pretending to be. Points for trying, though?]

Why are you always baking? Okay, when you're done with that, you're coming with me.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Well, it might- just possibly- be the fact that I'm a baker. It is rather what I do.

[Okay, yeah, that came out too fond and amused to be properly sarcastic, his good mood is clearly catching at the moment.]

I take it there's something you'd like to show me? [She can guess what it is, but it's fun to tease him.]

[vagabone]

Better than that!

[This goofy and toothy smile is contagious, indeed.]

But yes, there is! Aren't you curious?
