"Hi!" says Trouble. "Do you like cupcakes? I will make you cupcakes."

[hold_infinity]

"Ooh, I like you already."

[instar]

"He also does pie," calls Bella, "and delivers."

[hold_infinity]

"Ooooh," says Robin.

[palmofyourhand]

"I thought you might like each other."

[aeskhyne]

...Trouble puts his hands on his hips.

"Ethan," he accuses, grinning widely, "are you having feelings?"

[palmofyourhand]

"I admit nothing."

[hold_infinity]

"Is that unusual?" inquires Robin.

[aeskhyne]

"Unheard-of," says Trouble. He gives Ethan a hug.

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan permits hugging.

[hold_infinity]

"Aww," says Robin. "So, Bella, tell me more about this pie."

[instar]

"It was strawberry rhubarb - on request; I imagine there are other flavors. Arrived at our door at dinnertime. Still warm. Highly recommended source of pie, is Trouble."

[hold_infinity]

"Oooooh," says Robin.

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan laughs.

[aeskhyne]

Trouble snuggles him delightedly.

[instar]

"And I'm also pretty sure he didn't poison us."

[hold_infinity]

"Must've been a slow one if he did."

[instar]

"Yeah. Maybe next week we start losing our hair, the week after that we come over all spotty..."

[hold_infinity]

Robin laughs.

[aeskhyne]

"I did not poison you! Why would I poison you? I like you," says Trouble.

[instar]

"You know, I would be surprised but not floored if you considered mild poisoning a sign of affection? You're kind of weird."

[aeskhyne]

"Only to somebody who liked it," laughs Trouble.

[hold_infinity]

"That person is not me," says Robin. "In case you were wondering."

[instar]

"Hmm, have I met anyone who would like to be poisoned?" muses Bella.

Ethan points at Trouble behind Trouble's back.
