No peeking at the cake yet
Drat.
I'shan frowned and snapped his hand back, carefully tucking it behind his back. Him, sneaking peeks at cake? Never. Not in a million turns. He smiled innocently and let out a bright chuckle, throwing all subtlety out the door, for he'd certainly been caught. May as well make a little joke about it, right?
"Okay, okay," he said, putting his hands up harmlessly and stepping away in a gesture of sincerity. "I'll leave it be. Couldn't help myself, you know...it's been a long time since someone has done something like that for me."
Not that he normally needed it. He usually did all his own cooking and treated himself to something extravagant on both his own birthdays and those of his friends, but it was pretty nice to be the one getting the surprise for a change. He obediently followed the young greenrider into the kitchen area, watching as he set to work on the meal.
"That's awful kind of you," I'shan commented, tone softening, once again in emphasis of his seriousness. It was often all play and no work for the bluerider, but he had a serious side as well. It wasn't even that it was a small part of him, it was just well-guarded. That was starting to come more easily these days, with the return of N'gelt and the more frequent visits from Isharyn...
He smiled. "Well, N'gelt and I are back together," he said lightly. Boy, what a terrible misunderstanding that had been. It was nice to have the brownrider back, but in a way, I'shan felt like their time apart had been good for them. They'd learned from their mistakes, and while on his own, I'shan had learned a lot about himself. He folded his hands in front of him and leaned against the wall, eyes closing as he mused on the situation. "I said I'd give him another chance. It was a little bit of a mess, I guess...but I think it's worth it. He deserves it."
Then, his smile widened a little. "I've started seeing my son more often, too. I think his mom is glad for the help."
Squee appeared, flickering onto the counter and sniffing idly at the food. His eyes whirled in excitement. I'shan smirked and nodded at him. "Might wanna watch out for that little guy. Er, and how about you, Seijin? How's that cutie green of yours?" There was a rising note of mischief in his voice.
Drat.
