*Julian glanced to the man behind the counter.*
"We will have two then."
*He shifted her weight onto his hip so he could free one hand to take money from his wallet. He smiled privately, thankful that the Opera had so many wealthy patrons for him to steal from. He apparently had a natural skill for the thing. No doubt something inherited from Mother. He took one pastry and offered it to Pina, taking the other himself as he walked to a table. He paused for a moment, unsure of what to do. Surely he could not explain not giving her a chair of her own. He did so grudgingly, sitting as near as he could while he watched her eat, leaving his own pastry untouched.*

*Pina started on her dessert happily, though she couldn't help but notice that her brother had hardly noticed his own. It made her a tiny bit uncomfortable, though she couldn't put her finger on why.*
"Are you not hungry?"

*Julian smiled, resting his chin on his hand.*
"I'm saving mine for later."
*He glanced to hers.*
"Is it everything that you were hoping for?"

*She smiled.*
"It's perfect."
*The chocolate all over her face made her answer obvious.*

*Julian dared his eerie laugh, but his eyes held the truth in his smile. There was something about her...he quickly pushed the thought away and pulled up a napkin to wipe ineffectively at her face.*
"So I see...we might have to get some more before we leave. That way you can have some later too."

((Muahaha! No one can resist her cuteness- not even Julian!))
*She grinned. He was going to spoil her, not that she cared.*
"That's a very good plan."

((Well, she is the closest thing in the world to someone like himself. It only makes sense that if he has a weakness for anyone but Erik, it would be her.))
*Julian tried to wait patiently for her to finish, but his head was starting to hurt. He rubbed his temples slightly, sighing.*
"It is getting late. You're mother will miss you."

((This is true. It does make sense. And stop making me sympathize with him! My brain is protesting!)) *She nodded, finished with the dessert anyway. She wiped her face as best she could with the napkin and hopped off the chair.* "I'm ready. Mama probably will be very worried." *She narrowed her eyes.* "Are you okay?"

((I iz in ur brain, making u sympathiz wth my villainz))
*Julian smiled and bent to lift her once more.*
"I will be fine. I am just tired."
*He glanced back to the counter with a grin.*
"How many more do we need?"

((Heeee.))
"Hmm... two. One for me, and one for Mama. Unless Daddy'll want one too."
*She wasn't sure about her father- she'd never really had a chance to get to know him.*
"If you're tired, I can walk. I don't mind."

*Julian's gaze grew stern for a passing moment.*
"Please, Properpina. It is not so far."
*He lifted her and his uneaten pastry, returning to the man and ordering 4 more, just in case. He was getting weary, but her weight didn't bother him. It was more the pounding in his skull and the stabbing in his back. He handed her the parcel with a smile.*
"There you are my sweet. Hold onto it tightly. I wouldn't want to lose it on the way home."

"Okay, if you're sure," *she said.*
*She clutched the package obediently, smiling at him.*
"Thank you! I'll be very careful with it.*

"I know you will be. You are terribly clever after all."
*And with that, they were gone.*

**NEW DAY**
*Ned and Clara entered the shop. Looking into the display case, Ned had to tell himself very firmly not to spend every last bit of money on sweets.*

Clara had brought a ton of money just for this occasion, so she wasn't at all worried. She hardly ever bought anything, anyway. She looked through the glass and tried very hard not to drool.
