The early morning sun shone lightly through the flower-patterned curtains of the small bakery,
gentle ripples gliding through the fabric as the early spring breeze trickled through an open
window. A petite young woman, previously the picture of diligence as she iced the freshly baked
cookies in front of her, took a moment to push some cream colored hair out of her almond eyes
and let the cool air wash over her.
It had been a calm morning, the rhythm of her kitchen had settled in easily on such a beautiful
day, and seemingly before Ayumi could even blink she was on her final batch of sweets before
opening. She loved mornings like these. Just her and her kitchen, getting to cook with the smell
of the morning blossoms and the heat of the oven to keep her warm.
However the peaceful morning had to end sometime, and seeing all of her beautiful creations sit
there uneaten was almost bringing some tears to the small Milqilin's uncovered eye. So putting
the last of her iced cookies in the display case, Ayumi flipped the little sign in the window to
open and unlocked the door.
Already, customers had begun lining up. The opened window that had allowed the morning
breeze in, had allowed the smell of baking sweets to waft out into the town. Shyly, Ayumi
stepped forward and gave a fumbled curtsey. "W-Welcome, what can I get for you this
morning?"
