Who: Lulubell and people
When: Day 119, late afternoonish
Where: Public kitchen

[Today, anyone around the public kitchen is going to have to deal with the sight of Lulubell STORMING OUT OF IT IN A HUFF, completely covered in flour and a bit of a mess.]

[Also wearing an extremely unfitting apron.]

Pourquoi??

[whetblood]

The hell?

[luxuresombre]

Quite.

[...Brushing some of the flour off ineffectually. Also, her annoyance fades into slight embarrassment upon seeing him.]

[whetblood]

What were you doing?

[luxuresombre]

Cooking. What else?

[Slightly defeated:] Or... trying to.

[whetblood]

[just looking at her]

Uh huh.

[responsetoregret]

[....]

Trying a new recipe?

[luxuresombre]

Trying to improve. I suppose I work in the teahouse now, so I might as well try.

...I don't understand. It worked fine before.

[responsetoregret]

Well, how about I take a look? A new set of eyes might see what went wrong.

[luxuresombre]

If you wish.

[It isn't HORRIFYING, but a cake definitely exploded, and baking supplies have definitely been spilled.]

[besomeothername]

...

Stress baking?

[luxuresombre]

[L-Lavi :C]

[Wilts a bit.]

Practice baking.

[besomeothername]

So the baking's causing you stress, not the other way around.

[Wink as much as a person with an eye patch can wink]

Making something special for someone?

[luxuresombre]

Yes. I'm trying to improve, but nothing wanted to cooperate this time. I never was very domestic.

No, not particularly. Though I suppose Kaori might like some.

[misterious]

[ Was about to make herself some afternoon... tea.

...or not. ]

[luxuresombre]

[Ditching the apron and just... turning back to survey the slightly wrecked kitchen.]

Ugh.

[misterious]

[ Good job, ma'am. ]

[ Runs a finger through the flour on the counter ]

You aren't going to leave it this way, are you?

[luxuresombre]

That would be discourteous.

[Tho she sighs a bit before starting on cleanup.]

[unmaskedlizard]

... Um...

[luxuresombre]

[...Walker...]

[Stands there with her best blank poker face and stares]

[Except it's just kind of silly because of the apron and flour and messy kitchen behind her.]

[unmaskedlizard]

[It. it is kind of silly.

Takes a deep breath, the corner of his mouth turning up a bit. He seems unsure and cautious, but...]

... Is everything alright?

[luxuresombre]

Yes. No.

[Super big pause.] I exploded a cake.

[She is pretty different from canon Lulubell in terms of levels of icequeen. Relatively speaking.]

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

... You shouldn't have.

[luxuresombre]

[I guess you are allowed to see the full extent of my feelings]

[Which currently involve lots of sulking.]

Don't you start, Tyki.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Ah.

[Okay. Curious. Looking around her to see why she was storming out.]

[luxuresombre]

[The kitchen is a mess. Baking supplies everywhere, and a cake has exploded in the oven.]
