A Common Interest [Amalthia]

[Skyler Ragnulf]

you think you know me, but you don't know me!

Skyler loved baking as much as any girl would, and for her to work at Cake and Bake was like a dream come true. The only problem was consisted that she didn't know her fellow workers all too well, she knew Onyx pretty well enough to call her a friend from work, but the others she didn't know anything about. She would have to fix that soon, or else she might have problems for some unknown reasons with the other staff members.

Skyler decided she would take time in knowing each girl that worked here, including the boss herself, but so far she would just stick with the people she was working in the kitchen for right now. Since she already knew Onyx, the other person in the kitchen so far today was--Amalthia. Skyler didn't know much about her, but she knew the scent on her was not completely human, so she would have to be somewhat careful not to piss her off.

For now she would go with the subtle approach, it was almost lunch break for her and possibly a few that would go out, so she decided to at least invite the girl to lunch with her. Skyler walked over to Amalthia's station where she would work her own creations to life, "hey--uh--Amalthia, it's almost lunch break, wanna head out somewhere?"

She looked at Amalthia for a moment wondering what might be going through her head at this moment, so Skyler continued on, "since I'm the newest member of the team--I want to at least know everyone, it--just helps me know whom I'm working with."

Amalthia busied herself with burying elbow deep in flour and batter, making some more pies and cakes to put in the display, as well as for orders constantly coming in. This, this was a dream come true. She adored cooking, especially baking, and reveled at any chance to put her personal experience to test. She loved the fact that her boss was willing to let her put her recipes on the list to sell, that she got a small commission off of everything she sold, and also got paid for working there.

It was great, and while she didn’t need the money, one could never have enough in the case of an emergency, and besides, she’d stored her considerable sum safely in several different bank accounts, investing parts for larger incomes later on in life, while keeping just enough to ensure that she wasn’t going to run out, or go broke unless she did a large number of ridiculously stupid things. As she worked, she hummed under her breath, keeping herself company as most of her coworkers didn’t really dare approach, probably something to do with the rather dark aura the witch carried around herself.

A sort of look-but-don’t-touch, kind of thing. But then she heard footsteps approaching her, and she looked up to see one of her coworkers, Skyler, she believed, standing beside her station. "Hey--uh--Amalthia, it's almost lunch break, wanna head out somewhere?" She asked, and Amy smiled faintly, looking down at her flour covered arms and wiped her face off on her apron sleeve, nodding.

"Since I'm the newest member of the team--I want to at least know everyone, it--just helps me know whom I'm working with." Skyler continued as Amalthia cleaned up her station and pulled her apron off, hanging it on the hook on the wall beside her station. ”Lunch sounds great. Where’re you thinking?” She asked with a faint smile, straightening her shirt and making sure her jeans weren’t falling too low on her hips, brushing her silken hair over her shoulder and out of the way.

Oh, but God, I want to let it go.

I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.

[Skyler Ragnulf]

you think you know me, but you don't know me!

Skyler watched as Amalthia turned around to face her, and she waited for whatever she was going to say next. She felt some kind of aura about her, but Skyler didn't seem to place too much of it on hand as it didn't seem to be that concern. In honesty it made her feel that maybe Amalthia didn't have the others near her because of misunderstanding.

”Lunch sounds great. Where’re you thinking?”

Skyler watched as she watched herself and her station when she turned around to face Skyler asking that. Skyler wasn't sure exactly where they could go, so she only said, "considering we're in a bakery--we could just eat here, I have some of my homemade food with me if you don't mind eating that."

Skyler shrugged as she walked over to her station picking up a box of what seem to be her lunch. She smiled weakly looking at Amalthia, "hey on most days it saves time and money, though I have to admit that not having to pay for my own sweets is a great thing--uh--don't tell the owner I said that."

She moved away from her station to walk back over to Amalthia, "I still haven't been everywhere in Beacon Hills yet, so I don't know much of the great hang outs in town." Skyler smiled again watch Amalthia, "so it's up to you, eat here with some homemade lunch, or would you like to go out and eat?"

Amalthia turned to face her, and smiled easily, not really worried about what the other girl thought of her, though she hoped that she wouldn’t have any problems with her. Just because she didn’t care about other’s thoughts on her didn’t mean she wanted trouble in the work place. She spoke up easily, smoothing her hands over her jeans for a moment before moving around to finish up a few things at her station as she waited.

"Considering we're in a bakery--we could just eat here, I have some of my homemade food with me if you don't mind eating that." She said in turn, and Amy smiled faintly, amusement glinting in her eyes. ”If I eat your homemade food, you eat mine. And we’ll both get off free.”

Skyler shrugged before walking to her own station to pick up a box of what the witch assumed was her lunch. With a weak smile, she looked over at her. "Hey on most days it saves time and money, though I have to admit that not having to pay for my own sweets is a great thing--uh--don't tell the owner I said that." She said, and Amy grinned. ”Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me. And to let you in on a secret: I think it’s great too.” She said with a soft laugh.

The younger girl left her station to walk back over to her. "I still haven't been everywhere in Beacon Hills yet, so I don't know much of the great hang outs in town." She said with a smile. "So it's up to you, eat here with some homemade lunch, or would you like to go out and eat?" Amalthia smiled and shrugged. ”I don’t think I’ve been in town much longer than you have, but homemade food sounds great.”

"If I eat you homemade food, you eat mine. And we'll both get off free."

Skyler liked the idea already as she moved aside for Amalthia, "after you then" she said with a smile. As soon as she would start walking, she would walk right after her with her boxed lunch in hand. She would sit at the place where Amalthia had decided to seat, and it would be there that she would open her lunch box.

”Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me. And to let you in on a secret: I think it’s great too.”

Skyler smiled yet again, "good cause I would have no clue what to say to the boss if she ever found out. I mean I love to bake and all, but you can't expect someone to eat sweets all the time." She chuckled a bit as she opened her lunchbox bringing out what looked like beef with noodles, and a few pieces of toast with cheese on them.

Skyler looked from her lunch at Amalthia, she pointed to the beef with noodles first, "beef noodle bake, and the bread is called Welsh Rarebit." She tore off a piece of beard as she popped it into her mouth, her head turning a bit because of the pepper she could taste. She smiled at Amalthia though as she waved her hand for her to try.

"I promise you it won't kill you."

”I don’t think I’ve been in town much longer than you have, but homemade food sounds great.”

"Good because if you did choose to go out--I have no money on me at the moment" Skyler said with a small laugh, she wasn't one to forget things, but she had ended up leaving her wallet at home. She smiled again as she continued to eat pieces of her food with an extra fork she had brought.

Amalthia smiled as Skyler moved aside for her, "After you then" She said with a smile, and the older woman laughed softly with amusement, walking out towards the front part of the bakery and sitting down at one of the empty tables. She chose one that was set a bit apart from everyone else, not because she didn’t want to be near them, but because she was sure they wouldn’t want to listen to some employees having their lunch.

Skyler sat down at the table after her and opened her lunch box before smiling once more, "Good cause I would have no clue what to say to the boss if she ever found out. I mean I love to bake and all, but you can't expect someone to eat sweets all the time." She said with a chuckle as she brought out what looked to be beef with noodles, and some toast with cheese. ”I wouldn’t either, so I guess we’d both be stuck.” She replied with a grin.

"Beef noodle bake, and the bread is called Welsh Rarebit." She said, pointing to the beef with noodles and then the bread. Amy grinned as Skyler smiled at her. "I promise you it won't kill you." She said and the witch laughed once more. ”I doubt it will.” She said as she tore a piece off as well before popping it into her mouth, grinning as the flavor burst on her tongue. ”This is great, really.”

"Good because if you did choose to go out--I have no money on me at the moment." Skyler said with a laugh as she smiled and continued to eat her food. Amalthia pulled her own food out and set it down on the table, gesturing to the first item, ”That would be my specialty tuna melt Panini, and this is my absolute favorite of all time, dirt pudding. I’d get some of the pudding quick cuz I don’t tend to leave anything left.” She said with a grin, before cutting the sandwich in half and biting into it, sighing happily.

Skyler grinned back, "yes that'd be tragic for us if she ever caught us." She took a piece of the stew with a fork and popped it into her mouth chewing, and she watched as Amalthia started taking out food--she tilted her head looking at some of them, "what kind of food is that if I may dare ask?"

"I doubt it will."

Skyler raised a brow to that though she knew the smell of a witch when she sensed it, but Skyler merely ignored the comment as she continued on eating. She watched as the food was placed before them, and she still wondered what kind of food they were. When she commented that the bread was good, Skyler smiled nodding, "thank you."

She watched as Amalthia pointed to her own food, ”That would be my specialty tuna melt Panini, and this is my absolute favorite of all time, dirt pudding. I’d get some of the pudding quick cuz I don’t tend to leave anything left."

Skyler grinned as she took some of the pudding with a spoon she had grabbed early before they sat down. She placed it into her mouth before her eyes closed liking the flavor of the pudding. She pointed at the pudding and when she swallowed she spoke, "I swear to god, you need to give me the recipe of this--if you do, I'll give you whatever recipe in return--a trade if you will."

Skyler grinned in return once more, "Yes that'd be tragic for us if she ever caught us." The younger girl said as she took a piece of the stew with a fork and popped it into her mouth, chewing. Amalthia grinned and shook her head. ”Hopefully she’d be in a good mood that day.” She said with a quiet laugh, pulling out her own food.

"What kind of food is that if I may dare ask?" She asked, and Amalthia chose to answer her previous words than to answer the question, as she would get to it at some point. The witch saw the other girl’s raised brow, but she wasn’t about to touch that, since she didn’t feel like getting into the details of the fact that she was immortal. "Thank you." Skyler said with a nod and a smile, one which Amy returned once more.

The ebony haired woman pointed to her own food finally and explained what they were, before watching as Skyler grinned and took some of the pudding. Amalthia watched with no small amount of amusement as her eyes closed before she pointed at the pudding and swallowed before she spoke. "I swear to god, you need to give me the recipe of this--if you do, I'll give you whatever recipe in return--a trade if you will." She said and Amalthia laughed. ”Don’t worry, no swearing needed. You could drop by my apartment sometime after work and we could swap recipes, or demonstrate, since I do well with learning hands on.” She offered, taking a bite of her sandwich before offering the other half for the girl.

"Hopefully she'd be in a good mood that day."

Skyler tilted her head looking at Amalthia, "then how is she like on bad days? Does she grow snakes in her hair and petrify all those that look her in the face?" Skyler smiled jokingly, even though she was sure that if the boss had heard her--yea--she'd definitely wouldn't want to know what would happen if the boss overheard that one.

She continued to eat from her food just as she let Amalthia taste her food as well, and Skyler started to think which recipes would be the best to give in exchange for her pudding recipe. One of them being her devil's food cake, and the other being her apple or cherry dumplings--whichever she wanted to try out.

”Don’t worry, no swearing needed. You could drop by my apartment sometime after work and we could swap recipes, or demonstrate, since I do well with learning hands on.”

Skyler smiled as she raised her fork, "would love to, why don't we make it on a Saturday, that way it won't go conflicting with my school schedule--we could go for right after work." She smiled at Amalthia before pointing her fork at her, "you wouldn't mind would you?"

Amalthia saw Skyler tilt her head as she looked at her. "Then how is she like on bad days? Does she grow snakes in her hair and petrify all those that look her in the face?" She smiled jokingly, and Amy laughed warmly, shaking her head. ”No, I don’t think it’s the looks that are scary about a bad day, more of the tone of voice and the overall gist of the conversations.” She said with a grin.

They both continued to eat their food, and Amalthia wondered what the younger girl’s answer would be to her offer. She didn’t want to come across as some creepy older woman who had a think for young girls, because that certainly wasn’t her, she swung both ways, but she wasn’t a pedophile or anything. She simply wanted a chance at socializing with someone who had the same love of baking as her, and to be able to swap recipes. She loved adding to her collection.

"Would love to, why don't we make it on a Saturday, that way it won't go conflicting with my school schedule--we could go for right after work." Skyler said with a smile as she raised her fork, pointing it at her. "You wouldn't mind would you?" She asked, and Amalthia grinned. ”No I don’t mind at all. I don’t have any clients that day either, so we should be good.” She said with an easy smile.
