[Wait. Did she just say she can make pies herself. Where has this woman been all of his life. At first, there's a blank look on his face as the part of her mother just goes by his head and he hears the part of her making pies, the sides of his mouth fly up.]
Aw, you'd be willing to do something like that for me? Guess I'd better thank your mother for actually raising you up in sweet talk, Stumbles. [A pause.] How good are you at making them...?
[The eternal question. His eyes are peering at you, Sumia.]
[Yes. She can make pies herself. And cakes too but you know-- Considering her wide grin in response to Gaius' comments, she's pretty proud of it as well. And so she nods firmly.]
I like eating them myself, so I'd say I'm pretty good at it. You can try it for yourself though, but if it takes awful, just let me know and I'll try again. I'll make sure it's the best pie you've ever had!
[Now she's just determined to make him a bunch of delicious pies...]
[Honestly, this is all just him trying to coax Sumia into pie making, but now that they're actually on the subject...]
Say, what other sort of sweets can you make? You know, in case the army somehow gets malnutritioned and end up keeling over because of low blood sugar...? I'm just asking this out of the kindness of my heart.
[The kindness of his heart, right...! Though she does think he's being sincere right now, so...]
I don't really make them as often, but I think I can make decent cakes and other basic pastries as well. It usually takes a few tries, but I can do it! [clumsiness level 9001 over here and whatnot. But she's got this!]
Don't you think those kinds of foods wouldn't be a good choice for a malnutritioned army though? You can get sugar from healthier ones, after all. [Just food for thought!! Pun unintended.]
[How does Sumia even believe the things he says in the first place...]
Great, we can try and make them sometime soon. I know my way around a few pastries myself, though I can't call myself a sweet mage. [Gaius you probably have the recipes shoved somewhere in one of your secret pockets.]
What, the sweets? I think sugar of all kinds are pretty bad, but imagine the sort of boosts it can give the army, healthy or unhealthy. Try and name one that wouldn't benefit us in the first place, Stumbles.
Great! Just let me know whenever you want to. I didn't know you could bake yourself though, Gaius.
[Though she supposes it's to be expected, or should be, anyway... How else would he be able to indulge himself in sweets without others around?! That would be tragic.]
But... Putting it that way, I suppose you're right. Even if they're unhealthy kinds of sweets, at the very least they could help to boost morale. [Assuming that's what he means, anyway.] Some pies can be made healthier than others too, so... at least there's that as well. [SO MAYBE HE HAS A POINT...]
