stupid cute idiots in dokis

[bumgall]

[It's only with much practice that Gumball has learned to multitask. It isn't often enough that he's left in peace while he's here in his kitchen, whipping up one thing or another while attendants and consultants and guards and all manner of subjects come and go with all manner of matters on their hands. He's learned to prioritize, to strike a balance between his passion and his duties, to learn which should require immediate attention and which he can make wait. It's just how he's decided to do things, and sometimes, his baking just comes first.

Today, though, requires a different balance, because the presence perched next to him on the counter actually quite has his attention. Given, as most of her stories go, Fionna's various conversation topics including a pulse-pounding recount of the ogre she and Cake took down on their way to the Goblin Kingdom last week give him a little leeway attention-wise. And even then, he's finding himself absorbing just about every word.

Well, mostly. It's when he finds himself fussing with the candy decoration placement on one of his cookie mermaids that his attention wanders off, if only for the moment.]

[Well... it's just one, right? Whatever, he's busy working now, he'll fuss over it later.]

I'm sure.

[swordstress]

[ right. just one.

and as she's busy carefully crafting a cute little face onto the cookie she selects, there's just one more candy down. and just another following that. no biggie. the fourth isn't anything to worry over either, no sir. ]

[bumgall]

[YEP, HE'S STILL PRETTY MUCH OBLIVIOUS. He's off in his little decorating world.

Of course, he might be a little surprised once he finishes frosting and goes to add the finishing touches to find the bowls of assorted pieces less full than when he last saw them, but shh. Let him go on in ignorance for now.]

[swordstress]

[ hey, she's not saying a word. 8') fionna's definitely not about to point it out. there's no harm in munching, she thinks. ]

[bumgall]

[Well, guess we'll see- oh wait he's already done frosting. Damn Gumball, you fast.]

Ta-da!

[That's when he turns and holds up his finished cookie, a lovely little mermaid with a blue tail and a suspiciously-familiar lock of blonde hair on one side, complete with a drawn-on sword. He's even put in bits of pale yellow icing for lighting effects as to give the impression that even on a two-dimensional canvas, it's glowing and hovering in front of her outstretched cookie hands.]

Can you guess who it is?

[swordstress]

Woah, you made me a mermaid!

[ she almost drops the thing she's working on to make gimme hands at it, shiny-eyed and giddy (not to mention she seems unable to stop herself from giggling some). instead she catches herself before that happens and turns what she's got around, and its a smiling face in pink with hair of coloured sugar. ]

I thought this one was kind of shaped like your head. It's not really done yet though.

[ it might never be; she's pretty sure she accidentally ate the candies she was going to use as his eyebrows. ]

[bumgall]

[Well his real ones certainly jump up, and he can't help a few soft laughs as a warm smile comes across his face.]

Oh, Fionna. It looks lovely, thank you.

[Uh oh, is he blushing a little bit?]

[swordstress]

Psshh nooooo, thank you.

[ her blush might come to rival his, skintone aside. places the cookie she designed down gently and reaches out to encourage him a little closer by the wrist so she can get a better look at what he's made without her needing to hop off the counter. ]

[bumgall]

[He takes a couple steps forward once he catches on, and lifts the baked good up for her to inspect better, not really sure what else to say. Funny, his words keep failing him today.]

[swordstress]

[ smiles fondly, leaning over and investigating it. she fails entirely to let go of his wrists, though her hold is admittedly light. ]

There's basically no way I could eat this. It's too awesome.

[bumgall]

I suppose so. Although it might be some strange form of cannibalism, so there might be something to that.

[Nevermind the fact that he's a person made of candy using CANDY TO MAKE THINGS TO EAT.]

[swordstress]

That's no big d. I mean, I've had soy people before and that was actually pretty awesome.

[ thoughtlessly shifts her hold so her hands are over the back of his, even though she's no longer looking down at the cookie, just smiling up at him. ]
