[since sansa is married to lemoncakes, eating the cursed lemon snacks at the festival trapped her in a vicious cycle of lemon and sugar overconsumption, until the stomachache her mother always warned her about finally caught up with her late saturday night. she used all her training, both from sasuke's ninja school and canon, to steal anything and everything with lemon in it on the boardwalk, and now she feels terrible. feel free to assume she stole from your character!! if caught in the act she would have lied to their face about it, flawlessly.]

I'm very sorry if I stole your lemoncakes. I was not in control of myself. I would make you new ones, but I'm afraid all the lemons have been cursed.

I could make you cakes with oranges or strawberries instead.

[ Mako, having spent the last two months with Wu also not fully acting in control of himself, and also having had a lemon tart essentially snatched from his hands by the politest thief he'd ever met in his life, empathizes. ]

Your actual grabbing technique could've used some work, but the follow-up was flawless.

[dohaeris]

[oh, well, at least mako's already seen her lying skills before. perhaps this means he didn't see any of her ninjutsu tricks?]

I'm ill-used to grabbing; I shouldn't think I've ever had cause to resort to it before.

[catelyn did say sansa was a courteous little lady at three...]

I'm much more practiced at cleaning up messes.

Thank you for your understanding. I have heard that some people make tarts with a sort of lime curd, instead of lemon. It would be good to learn to make it, if I can no longer have lemon curd for scones.

[limes!!! so disappointing to true lemon fans.]

Oh uh, that's okay, I appreciate the apology!

Don't worry about it, Stone-san! I'll take you up on that strawberry cake though!

[dohaeris]

[oh, that is not a very nice way to refer to a baseborn girl. sansa resents once again the fact that she didn't think to make a new alias here.]

Please, call me Alayne, or Lady Alayne if you like, or whatever it is you usually say instead of lady.

I would be glad to make a strawberry cake for you, at the Sanctuary or my home at the Rookery, whenever you like. But I'm afraid that if I ever learned your name, I never learned of its connection to this user name on the net work, and I should like to know who I have promised a cake, so that I can be sure no one else eats it.

[lightthedarkness]

[Truly, Usagi had not intended to be insulting. If she knew, she'd apologize.]

Lady Alayne it is then!

And my name is Usagi Tsukino! It means rabbit of the moon in my home language!

It's super sweet of you to make up for it like this!

[Compared to the attempted murders going on this month, this is adorably benign.]

If you want uncursed lemoncakes, I can get you some.

[dohaeris]

[sansa is sure no one ever means any offense when they address her with 'stone,' which is why she only ever tries to gently correct them, but she finds it unpleasant, all the same.

It's good to meet you, Lady Usagi. I'm very sorry I stole your cake in the first place. I was not myself. It's the least I can do to make you a new one.

[for some reason the thought of baking feels very satisfying, like sewing does ordinarily.]

[lightthedarkness]

Well, if you want some of the best lemon cake ever, you should totally come over and I'll ask my bestie, Mako-chan, to make you some! She's one of the best bakers in Trench, no lie!

Oh!

Maybe you've been to her bakery and flower shop! But anyway, that lemon cake was a trade anyway for a bracelet I made. And now it's traded again! Lemon for strawberry! Honestly, I'm getting the better end of the deal here!

[dohaeris]

[what.......murders.......sansa only knows about the thing with the tongue???]

Can you?

I'm not sure I want anything with sugar right now.

[truly a sign of the depths of her despair.]

[adaine]

[One of her acquaintances might have tried to murder her, it's fine.]

Yep. One a day. Whenever you want it.

[dohaeris]

[WHAT]

How do you know they aren't cursed?

[adaine]

Because they've never been cursed before? They're worth less than ten gold pieces, so it should be okay.

[Also, the civilization within her jacket would probably let her know.]

[dohaeris]

The lemons weren't cursed before the festival! I had them all the time.

[dohaeris]

[don't tempt her with lemoncakes she can't have...fortunately(??) sansa isn't in the mood for cake right now, for once.]

I don't think any of us should be eating lemoncakes right now, but the strawberries seem to be all right.

[at least she had managed a piece of toast with strawberry jam today and nothing seemed to happen.]

I would be glad to look at her shop with you sometime, and try different kinds of cake. Perhaps we could find one I like as much as lemons.

[fortunately this doesn't look as insincere on the crystal display as it sounds when she speaks into it.]

[adaine]

...I can remove the curse if there are any curses on the lemoncakes?

[dohaeris]

Perhaps in a week we could try it.

[not sure if it will work, though. and sansa definitely doesn't want to get trapped in a lemon cycle again.]

If you could find a little spinach and herbs for a salad, I would appreciate it very much.

[despite her sweet tooth, sansa actually enjoys green salads!!! usually with some kind of fruit in them.]

Have you had very much luck removing the blood curses? Otherwise I should make you a vile bloodstone. I'm trying to make them for all the palebloods, but it's slow going.

[lightthedarkness]

Ah... yeah, I guess that's true.

Mako-chan is amazing, I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like as much as lemon cake. Whenever you're ready we'll go.

Whenever you're ready about the cake too, just let me know! There's no rush!

[velvet_teen]

I only let you get away with it because I don't like lemon that much anyway!

[ This is a bald faced lie, Alayne absolutely tricked her and she is mad about it and retaliating by lying back, which is flawless Alice logic. ]

[dohaeris]

Would you like a strawberry cake? I could make it with chocolate.

[velvet_teen]

I want an orange cake, with chocolate.

[dohaeris]

Oh, all right. I don't think I've ever had them together before.

[an orange cake with chocolate frosting? or a chocolate cake with marmalade, of sorts? she's not sure.]

Would you like an orange cake with chocolate icing, or a chocolate cake with orange filling?

[abornfighter]

You could have just asked if you wanted them that badly. A+ lying skills, though. I actually believed you until after you'd already walked away with them.

[Honestly, Tory is more amused than upset about it at all.]

[occultfan]

Its okay. Mine might not have been that great anyway.

[dohaeris]

I can't even remember what I was thinking, truly. I'm very sorry I stole from you, but you might be better off for not having eaten them.

[dohaeris]

The lemons have been badly cursed, but I still should like to make you a new cake, anyway.

[it's paleblood bakeoff month....]

Are you all right?
