[Lightning bites back a satisfied smile.]

Told you. [She did warn him that it would be sweet!!!] ... If you go inside and tell Karen about it, maybe she'll start letting me work in the back.

[There's your answer to why she doesn't want anyone liking these!! She could do way better.]

[lostinshadows]

[He holds back a laugh.

Lavi nods.]

I think I can do that. Wouldn't be good to have unsatisfied customers if these things are too sweet.

[He grins at her.]

[sparkstrikes]

[Now we're talking!]

Make sure you leave out the part about me warning you about it, too. Wouldn't want her to think that I'm good at this.

[This will probably be a terrible idea in hindsight, but it's worth a shot, right?]

If I get stuck out here again next time, I'm holding you responsible.

[lostinshadows]

Of course not. Scout's honor.

[Why would he ever?

He grins at her.]

I'll take the responsibility if you do. But let me put in a word with Karen about these samples.

[With a wink and a wave, he slips inside the bakery. Time to see if he can convince this Karen to get Lightning in the back--and save her from being out there.]

[Lightning follows far enough behind that Karen won't notice that she's listening by the front door, and when Lavi enters, she immediately wanders up to ask if she can do anything to help him while Lightning leans against the wall, propping up the platter of samples with one hand.]

"Oh, have you tried our samples yet!?" [Ah, never mind. Karen definitely noticed and waves Lightning over... a demand that she doesn't oblige at first.] "Lightning, come here!"

[help]

[lostinshadows]

[Welp. Should've hidden better, Lightning.

Lavi just smiles.]

I have. But I gotta admit: it was a little too sweet.
