*Aimery smiled happily as he timidly tried the fresh cake. It was so amazing! He had never been able to afford such a luxury. His eyes grew wide and sparkled as he looked from the cake to Diamanta. His smile widened as he quickly tried to lick the cream from his mouth and fingers to get them clean enough to write.*
It is wonderful! Where did you learn to make it?

*Diamanta smiled sadly.*
My mother taught me.

*His brow crinkled at her apparent sadness.*
I am sorry. I didn’t mean to make you sad. It is just very good. She would be proud.

*Diamanta placed a hand over his.*
Thank you, that means a lot to me.

*Aimery smiled empathetically, placing his other hand over hers for a moment. Then he moved it so he could answer.*
You are always welcome.
*He gave a brief pause before adding.*
Now that you are done, what will you be doing the rest of the day?
*Blushing slightly, he continued.*
I can take my leave, if you have other obligations.

*Diamanta shook her head.*
I have no other obligations. All the costumes are ready.
*She took off her apron and hung it by the door.*
What do you propose?

*Aimery’s eyes widened nervously. He wasn’t really ready to propose anything, he just asked so he would know if he was being a bother. He stared for a moment before looking down to the page, debating what to write.*
If it would please you, we could go for a walk.
*Remembering the last excursion he took out with a young woman, he quickly added.*
Perhaps in the park?

*Diamanta nodded.*
Yes it would please me, I could use some fresh air.
*Just as she spoke she was overtaken by a coughing fit, grabbing the table she leaned heavily upon it.*

*Aimery attended her quickly, his first instinct to hold her, to comfort her. He did briefly before quickly searching the kitchen and fetching a glass of wine which he offered her while trying to help support her in his surprisingly strong arms.*

*Diamanta continued coughing before reaching to a pocket of her dress for her hankerchief. She removed it and brought it to her face, coughing once more before putting it away. Still held tight in Aimery's embrace she reached over for the glass of wine and took a sip.*
...Thank you

*Aimery took her by the shoulders gently that he might look her in the face, trying to read her. He swallowed and gave a half-nod with an inquisitive brow as if to ask her if she was sure she was all right.*

*Diamanta gathered herself before smiling at him.*
I'm fine thank you, just a cough.
*She bit her lip before looking shyly up at him again.*
You always seem to know the right thing to do.

*Aimery turned beet red and his eyes fell. He turned quickly to his pad.*
I’m just glad you are all right.
We don’t have to go to the park if you aren’t feeling well. Do you need to lie down?

*Diamanta read the note and blushed.*
...No I do not think so. I would like to go.

*He smiled shyly.*
If you’re sure.
*Aimery half-bowed in his typical formality, offering his arm to her.*
((To the park?))
