[PP-04] Home Sweet Home Ft. Aeva

[Kiluia Seiko 0]

 

What was supposed to be a relaxing day, turned chaotic. With a large order of npcs on 4th floor and a large order of regular pcs, it was chaos to say the least. His hands manipulated materials into mostly successful things with a few losses here and there but it was possible to fragment them into what the order was. Slight sweat formed on his brow, despite the cold weather that was outside. It was nothing to trifle with when the man was in the middle of an order. 

Despite the chaos within, there was something terrible lurking beneath the surface. It had a shape of small oval body and a hunger that could devour a cake in seconds. Pingu! Yes, that Pingu. The one and only Pingu. She eyeballed him and stared at her owner as if he was nothing. She rolled across beside him in her stealth mode and clung to the shadows...whatever that might be?

"Pingu. Stay away." He announced like he could see her and she widened her eyes at her master who was busy sculpting.

She stared at him and sulked returning to her corner and despite the clear advantage, she seemed defeated. She chirped as she laid there and stared at him. It was fine most of the time, but he was busy trying to push out these orders. He was almost done with every order now. It was up to fate if these got taken out of his inventory by the time the rest of the came.

Was this Snowfrost? 

Aeva looked at the cozy winter settlement with a mixture of wonder and confusion. It had been some time, but she had eventually made her way here through the snowy forest. A few NPCs and players alike gave the girl odd looks as she emerged from the woods themselves rather than the many paths leading through them from town. Of course, that would be a rather long story, and Aeva was far too distracted by Snowfrost to acknowledge the attention from any of them. 

Soon enough, she found herself aimlessly wandering the white streets of the town, admiring the little shops and cafes scattered about. Despite the cold weather, everyone here seemed to be enjoying themselves. That’s when Aeva remembered just how cold she was, not having any winter gear before the unfortunate circumstances that led her here. As if thinking about the chill was enough to draw its attention, Aeva began to instinctively shiver while she continued to wander, picking up speed without realizing. Finally, she decided it would be best to step into one of these open businesses in order to warm up for a few minutes. Surely the owner wouldn’t mind? 

Soon enough, her ruby gaze landed on the sign of a nearby cafe called “A Taste of Frost,” which appeared rather welcoming. Not thinking much of it Aeva made her way over and entered through the door, immediately feeling the warmth within and the sweet smells that accompanied it. It was small and cozy, from what Aeva could tell, much like the rest of the floor. There appeared to be a single man hard at work behind the counter, sculpting a dessert with urgency. Aeva almost felt guilty for intruding on the man’s focus, but she also didn’t want to surprise him when he eventually turned around. 

“I hope it’s no trouble. I just need to warm up for a minute.” Aeva announced herself, standing near the doorway with a light smile. Hopefully, her presence wouldn’t add any extra pressure if he knew she wasn’t a customer.
