She had spotted the rather lewd gesture that Perrot had been making, here eyes darting across it when she leaned back into her chair. She looked up at the Lieutenant, smiling.
"You worry too much, Simon..." She began chuckling again
Perrot smiled back, and copied her gesture of leaning back. God, it had been a long day.
The High Command had him running around everywhere, managing ship registrations for the new gardien stagiaires , looking over any captured prisoners, conducting patrols...
It was a blesing that he could always come here, with Lillian, and relax, for however long.
Soon, the attendant came up to them, holding two plates, each carrying a pastry.
The pastries here were rather like croissants, having the same kind of roll and bread, cooked the same way, but with a hollow part inside. There, they'd put all sorts of fillings and garnishes, depending on the kind of pastry.
The pastries they had ordered - Sugar - used a decadent white filling, based off of sugar and cream, and berry shavings. They were quite refreshing, and hugely popular among the cafe's patrons.
The attendant set them down, and hurried off, catering to the needs of another customer.
Lillian took her pastry first, quickly biting off an end. It spurted a bit on her, and she chuckled as she wiped it off her cheek. Then, Perrot took his, perferring to bite into the center. It didn't spurt, taht way, and he got a bit more of the filling.
They both smiled at each other. This was, hands down, the best part of their day.
