Sugar, Sugar (open!)

[Script]

Script was in the kitchen, baking again. This time it was cupcakes. She made cupcakes whenever she was in a good mood. They were a cheerful kind of food. She was humming to herself as she mixed, the endorphins from her Adventures in Goblin-Land still kicking their way through her system.

[Wraith]

Wraith headed toward the kitchen, breathing in delicious smells. Goblin had told her there were various baked goods sitting around. He'd also told her that she might run into the person who was baking them, and he so obviously wanted Wraith to meet this girl that she forced herself not to flee at the sound of humming. She did, however, approach in utter silence and hesitate in the doorway. "Hi," she whispered.

[Script]

Script nearly jumped out of her skin, whirling round and then laughing. She blushed, sending the girl a smile. "Sorry! I was of daydreaming. Hi, I don't think we've met. I'm Script."

[Wraith]

"N-no, I'm sorry. I tend to sneak up on people. I'm Wraith," she admitted softly, offering her hand with a shy smile. "Um...what are you baking?"

[Script]

"Oh, Wraith! You're Goblin's sister!" She beamed at her, glad they finally were able to meet. She knew how important his sister was to him, and so she was important to Script by extension. "Cupcakes. Want to help me with the frosting?" She took a small bowl of icing and a spatula to the table, sitting down to ice the cupcakes already cooling on the table.

[Wraith]

"Sure." She took out another spatula and set to work, standing on the other side of the table and sending the other girl quick glances as she frosted. Part of her was wondering if Script could teach her to cook to impress Nevada, but that wasn't her main concern here. "Uh...Goblin said you two had fun the other night..." She tried not to say it like it was a miracle, but it wasn't easy.

[Script]

Script looked over at her, grinning bright. "He told you? Well, of course he did, you're his sister." She flushed a little, still smiling as she set a frosted cupcake on the serving tray. "It was a great night. I had a good time."

[Wraith]

"I'm glad." Wraith bit her lip. "He...doesn't really tell me much. But it's been a while since he had fun with anyone, so...I'm really glad," she said in a rush, then let out a breath and focused on the cupcakes, blushing slightly. Considering she was talking to a brand-new acquaintance, that was a long speech for her.

[Script]

Script quirked a curious brow at her, watching her a minute. She was a little wisp of a thing, and afraid of her own shadow. But she seemed sweet. "So, uh, what did he say about me?" She said it casually, going back to frosting, but glanced at her from under her lashes.

[Wraith]

Wraith had to smile slightly. "That you followed through with one of his crazy plans all the way to the end. Not a lot of people can say that." She squinted at the cupcake she was working on, carefully smoothing the frosting with the spatula. "That you seem like the kind of person who'll go after something with all her heart and get it no matter what. And you're really straightforward and don't have a lot of secrets." Certainly not the kind of company her brother usually kept. She glanced up at Script, then went to get more frosting. "He kind of also mentioned that you have a really nice smile..."

There was a lot more than that, but Wraith wasn't about to spill it all. Goblin was, after all, completely obsessed with cataloguing people--and even so, he'd seemed to go overboard with details about Script.

[Script]

She flushed pleasantly, smiling, licking a little stray frosting off her finger. "All that, huh?" She smoothed frosting onto another cupcake, a little adoringly. "I like him." She looked at her and grinned, cheeks pink. "But I can imagine you don't want to hear some girl go all swoony over your brother."

[Wraith]

"It would be a little awkward," she admitted with a laugh, then paused in her frosting for a second, her hand resting on the spatula. "He likes you, too, I think. But you know, he's...Sebastian's kind of..." She really didn't know how to describe the way he was, especially since there were certain things that he flat-out refused to talk about, even with her. "It's hard for him to get close to people," she said at last.

[Script]

She sighed at that. "Yeah, I'm figuring that out." She regarded a cupcake thoughtfully, before picking it up and peeling back the wrapper, offering it to Wraith. "You see this internal battle waging behind his eyes every time he looks at me. I can't tell if he wants to kiss me, or run away screaming." She allowed herself to smirk, although a little ruefully.

[Wraith]

Wraith looked at her, wide-eyed. Goblin wasn't kidding; she was very straightforward. "Thanks," she said, taking the cupcake and perching on a chair while she nibbled at it timidly. It was, without a doubt, the best thing she'd tasted since Nevada's stew. "Um...probably both. But he did kiss you, right?" She looked up hopefully. He hadn't actually said as much, but she'd gotten a pretty strong impression.

[Script]

She sighed a little dreamily. "Yeah, he kissed me. And it was a helluva kiss." She sat back in her chair, taking her own cupcake and munching. "He wouldn't let me touch him, though. I don't think he likes being touched much."
