There was a small store known as 'Sharp Sweets' tucked away near a residential area of North City. The store itself wasn't overly fancy, but it's logo was bright, and windows were large and inviting. The words were decorated in pastel colors, and ornamented with candy details. And the windows themselves were filled with displays of pastries, sugar, and all things more than slightly bad for your teeth. A small sign on the window announced today as 'Theme Thursday'.
Inside was a bit strange when compared to the extravagant displays in the windows. It was simple, going for more of a homely feel using wooden tables and chairs, and even had a small jukebox sitting in the corner. The back of the store was dominated by a large glass counter housing countless sweets inside. Almost every kind of treat imaginable could be seen there, ranging from simple mochi to lavishly decorated cakes.
Behind the counter was a tired looking young man with wolf ears on his head. Seems like they were actually just a headband and not actually a part of him. This was Vanta, a dark Elfen who had a job here. He seemed somewhat nervous. He really hated Theme Thursdays for the most part, but wouldn't deny that more people came in to see things.
"Hello and welcome to Sharp Sweets, how may I help you?"

The very pastel colors would have reflected off Han’s face if they were glowing. Their very brightness was astounding and yet somehow they conflicted with how Han had been feeling for the past months. He was on a break, taking time off his jobs to rest and enjoy what wealth he had earned through the many jobs he worked every day. Yet he couldn’t really enjoy himself just hanging around.
So he went for sweets! There was a good store he used to visit a lot back then and it had been so long he wasn’t even sure they’d recognize him at this point, but he bursted in anyways. He decided not to think up too much about his problems and instead he viewed what was ahead of him; colorful pastel!
Yay?
No, wait. Yaay, sweets!
His eyes lit up a little seeing himself surrounded by so many things; he could see chocolate, vanilla, cream, fruity colors, pistachio, white chocolate, berries— everything! All in the sight of both his eyes and yet so far due to his wallet being only half-full.
Now, to himself he was just staring, in reality Vanta would see this guy planted his face into a glass and basically drooling watching stuff. Every now and then he immediately stepped to the next exposition of sweets and gave them another look. Left, right, left right, back and forth, back and forth.
Until of course he came to the counter, his hands slammed upon it as he leaned forward, desperate.
“I don’t know what I want! What do I get?! What should I get?!”
The azure boy blinked, his pupils thin; he looked actually dead serious about this.

An important part of a heathy diet was regular exercise, which Lambertia had already gotten today from a nice long walk around a few of the cities smaller parks. The next part of the healthy diet plan was following up exercise with a good healthy meal. Vanta had left her a pack lunch before going to work with a nice salad and a bit of grilled chicken and tiny red balls, tomat. Tumatu, Tamatatas? Whatever they were delightfull.
Anyway she had shared that with a lonely looking man in a big old coat at the park who apparntky couldn’t afford breakfast today. Nice guy, retired soldier, seen allot of the earth. After a long chat with him her tummy had rumbled something fierce at her so she had made her fairwels with him and set off to fill her somach with a sutible replacement.
The city had plenty of very nice places she could stop for a late breakfast that would be both nutrcious, delicious and Vanta would be happy that she ate. On the other hand there was also the lovely little shop of sweets that Vanta was working in right now. In that uniform they made him wear.
Delightfull.
So of to Sharp Sweets she went.
On arriving she saw that Vanta already had several customers inside already so rather than going in and distracting him for her own amusement she just waved to catch his attention and would wink at him once he noticed her before taking a bit of time to window shop from the visible displays. Despite the many lovely looking treats on display she found her eyes falling on the other customers over the displays. If any of them looked to the window they might spot her amber glowing eyes and mop of blond.

"Ah... I might recommend the ginger cookies then? They're apparently good for warming up from the cold-" The comment from Ayami makes him freeze up, and he needs a bit of time to cover his face and control his instinctive blushing reaction. Thankfully, Vanta is not alone here, as a somewhat petite woman with short white hair and red eyes walks out, holding onto a tray of various pastries. "If you have ideas for future 'Theme Thursdays' you can place them in the suggestion box next to the tip jar." This was Dianne 'Dee' Sharp, owner of Sharp Sweets and Vanta's employer. "In addition, I believe your girlfriend is at the door Vanta?"That just made Vanta blush even more, trying to stammer out that he wasn't dating Lambertia and they were just friends, but it was hard to tell through all the mumbling. Vanta slams his hands on the table, trying to stop any further lines of teasing conversation and attract attention back to the storefront. "So! Is there anything I can help you with?!?"

There was something he just couldn’t quite hold of; the mystery unfolded as soon as Vanta came in sight. Of course he remembered the person and yet every single time a thought emerged in the back of his mind— it was something he couldn’t avoid for the very Gods up there in the sky remained unsure of the very question that flickered within the quiet tendrils of his mind.
Was that a wolf?
He narrowed his eyes slightly as he eyed him and those ears, briefly. He didn’t really care either way, but it was hard to tell with the kind of outfits he put on.
“O-oh. Ginger? Hmm. I dunno. I don’t even really suffer from the cold! I am hot. Really hot.”
Han said. As he was pretty much dressed in a short sleeves, blank shirt. That guy really wasn’t feeling any cold at the moment apparently; perhaps another part of his weirdness was just the amount of wicked things he did without a real explanation such as his odd sense of fashion; who the hell still wore white shirts?!
“I may regret spending my zeni uncarefully…”
Soon enough he turned around and pointed at the nearest customer— robogirl with cool glasses!
“What should I buy?! Cake, cheesecake, cookies and what flavor? Chocolate? Strawberry? Cherry? Pistachio? — Also your glasses are very cool, where do I get those?!”
His ear also couldn’t help but pick up on Vanta being teased as he turned around and made a round shape with his lips, as surprised as a primate could get; woow!
“Girlfriend?! So, when are you two getting married? Am I invited? Will there be sweets?”

She grinned after watching Vanta freeze up from the compliment like he did. Although...Ayami's grandmother stopped those shenanigans with a quick thwap to the back with the old woman's cane."Ow! What gives?!"Aya simply waggled a finger at the young inventor."Don't tease the employees. It's not polite."Ayami rubbed the back of her neck with a free hand awkwardly, looking at Vanta apologetically."Sorrrrryy..."The young inventor perked up once the guy in front of her turned around and pointed! She pointed to herself silently as if to ask "Me?" She listened to him list off various things that all sounded pretty good...But if he was asking for her opinion she decided to give him exactly that, the water elfen tapped her chin as she began to list off her preferences and thoughts on the matter."Well, if you're looking for something closer to savory cheesecake usually has that in spades, cake is great if you just really want a big fix for sweetness, but cookies are light and crisp so that's great in it's own right. Me personally I prefer pie or something traditional like taiyaki. Especially red bean filled taiyaki. Yummy. Strawberry cheese cake is REALLY good but I like fresh cherries too! Chocolate is better by itself than on something in my opinion, although...Taiyaki filled with chocolate..."... Drool was starting to form around the edges of the water elfen's mouth as she discussed the finer details of sweets... She wiped it away as she finally regained composure. Although Han complimenting her goggles only resulted in her getting super excited! Her eyes sparkled as she grinned brightly at him."They are right?! Oh, you can't buy them anywhere, I made em myself!!! I can make you a pair too though if you want!!! Gramma says they're pointless but I LOVE the look! I'm styling!!!"Ayami turned around for only a second as she heard Dee mention something about someone's "girlfriend being at the door"...The young inventor caught sight of Lambertia sitting at the window outside. Ayami simply raised a hand, waving to the light elfen outside. Her eyes were very pretty whoever she was.

Seeing a few of the people inside spot her Lambertia chose to end her session of window shopping and join them all in store. Pushing the door open she gave a cherry wave and greeted tehm all as the doorbell rang “Heyo everyone!”Skipping over to the counter she visually ran over the three newcomers to the store on her way over where she reached over the counter and gave the owner a friendly hug. It had been increagably good of her to give Vanta this job so Lambertia had been making a point of being friendly with her. “Heya Dee! Can I get something sweet and fruit filled?” Then she turned to reet Vanta and saw his face. She glanced directly at the three new comers directly with a sigh and rolled her eyes, “Dee, you been telling people that I’m Vantas girlfriend again? You really shouldn’t do that. You’ll chase people off.”“Hi, I’m Lambertia. I’d recommend the cream filled spiced buns, ‘doughnuts’ I think? I’d also like a few please Dee.” She turned around to face them fully with a smile for each of them and a polite little nod towards the more venerable looking lady. Her faintly glowing eyes came to rest on the girls goggles, “Hey, those look pretty cool.” As did their owner…
“Hey Dee, can I make that one for everyone?”
