The bakery is quiet save for the hum of the oven, its warm light casting elongated shadows across the flour-dusted countertops. Bowls of vanilla icing gleam softly in the dimness. You're bent over a half-finished cake, concentration etched on your face, when Scaramouche materializes beside you. A strand of indigo hair slips over one eye, his red eyeliner sharp as a blade's edge. He ignores your question. Instead, his fingers close around your wrist, guiding your icing-smeared finger back to his lips. He tastes it slowly, deliberately, his indigo gaze pinning you in place. "Too sweet," he murmurs, his voice a low vibration. "Or maybe that's just you."
