Sure, let's go.

[Vash may not look much different than usually, but the way he talks makes Aether even more suspicious. He follows his companion into the bakery and gives the various cookies and other baked goods a curious look.]

We could get some of the cookies for later. And... ah, these are the ones you mentioned, right?

[There are the swirly, glazed pastries with fruit on top.]

[skelters]

[ suspicious, really .... ]

That's a great idea! [ a nice midday snack for later, probably, unless they're pulled into some wild cat-chasing trip around town again ... not to mention all the rebuilding efforts going on generally. ]

Yes, those! They're really good, you really need to try it!!

[ there are some savoury things on the menu as well to counter all the sugar rush, and the servers will soon shoo them onto a table to sit down. vash fiddles with the edge of the menu passed onto both of them, shifting his weight on the chair. ]

[Even if they're pulled into something, they can still enjoy the little treat once they're done with everything. A small reward for a hard day at work!

Aether sits down when the servers direct them to the tables and takes the menu with a smile, then glances at Vash. The way the other acts is highly suspicious and since no topic comes Aether decides to just go for it and ask.]

I can see that there's something bothering you... [Don't even try hiding behind the menu!] Vash, you know that you can tell me anything, right? I'll always hear you out and I won't judge, no matter what it is. Promise.
