A Thank You to Certain Heroes (Backdated to Nov. 11)

[silencesfate]

For helping the Spirits:

This isn't much, but I hope you like it.

Thanks.

[ A few cookies taken from fresh batches are delivered along with the letter, each Hero who took a quest on the board (or he otherwise heard about helping in some form) would receive three large and rich chocolate chip cookies. Minato might not be the most ambitious person in the world, and this extends to culinary arts, but he knew how to follow instructions. In this case... post-mortem ones from another kindly Spirit he helped out, but--that's creepy to mention, isn't it? "So you might not believe this, but I learned some recipes from a Flence pâtissier after she tragically died." yeah, no. Kharon looks faintly proud as he delivers to one person, and only barely stops himself from doting that he's become "a good boy". Now he only wished he would try take it easy a little... How about that irony.

Because of Minato wanting these other Heroes to get them practically just out the oven, Kharon wasn't the only one delivering and the Moogles each look for the Heroes, instead of just leaving the food and their accompanying notes in mailboxes. And if your Hero is unfortunate, the delivery Moogle couldn't resist the smell and kind of either took a nibble, a bigger bite, or discreetly ate a piece entirely (or all three--yikes). Feel free to reply a letter of complaint, for your Congratulations on a Piece of Paper and Literally Nothing Else™. ]

[ For those he personally knows, instead of just "For helping the Spirits", it is preceded by their name and the appropriate honorific as Minato calls them. Each letter is closed off with his usual signature. ]

Earlier that Day; Action | Closed to Zelos

[ Minato's in his house at a pretty early hour, and assumes he's alone at the moment. It's not an odd sight to see him in the kitchen, before he decided to get a little more active (whether he enjoyed it or not), he did a lot of house chores, cooking and cleaning included--any excuse other than to go outside honestly. He's mumbling to himself. ]

Ah, I wanted to do more than one type, but that would take more batches. [ "It's troublesome" he mouths again, under his breath. They deserve it, he doesn't argue with that, but he can't work on all of them at once--to also deliver, all at once. Hrm. Has he even considered how he's going to do that? Doing it in person is way too embarrassing, maybe he'll just trust Mognet. ] As for flavor, I guess I'll just go with the "classic", as her recipe listed...

[ And so he got to work, he already had his supplies, apron tied, recipe materials laid about. The boy washes his hands, then looks back at everything on the counter with a large sigh. Maybe he really should've stuck with "I can't promise you anything as a reward", but he already bought everything needed for this. ]

[Zelos comes back to the house pretty early, all things considered. He's got nothing else to do for the moment, and so he resorts to meandering around the house, looking to see if any of his roommates were around to bother. It's not long before his search is met with success; although it helps that the kitchen is the first place he looks.]

Morning.

[He waves as he walks in, before leaning back against one of the unoccupied counters. One glance is all he needs to know what his roommate's up to.]

Baking for someone special?

[Not that it's gonna stop him from teasing his roommate, of course.]

Letter

[whereishe]

[When Yuna gets hers there is only one cookie left which she then gives to Celes because he looks like he's about to jump her for it.]

Dear Minato,

Thank you very much. I hope everything went well for all the ghosts.

-Yunie

[Terra opens the curious little mail but finds nothing inside. She reads over the letter again and she doubts that Minato would do something like this on purpose.]

Minato,

You are very welcome, however there was nothing with the letter. I don't need anything but I wanted to let you know.

-Terra Branford.

[silencesfate]

[ Eh? ]

Are you sure? I wonder if something happened along the way of delivery.

[greenmagick]

Dear Minato,

It’s really no trouble but I wanted to let you know.

-Terra Branford.

[silencesfate]

Maybe I'll just bring another bundle to you directly to be safe. Where are you right now?

Um, I made cookies, so they might've wandered into someone else's stomach, I guess.

-- Minato Arisato

[greenmagick]

Dear Minato,

I'm at home but you don't have too. It's the thought that counts.

-Terra Branford.

[silencesfate]

No I... want to. I already made them, so. I'll just drop them off, you don't have to let me in.

-- Minato Arisato

[greenmagick]

Okay.

You can also give them to Tempest.
[Who will stick around after delivering the short message.]

[silencesfate]

Here you go Tempest-san.

... Take an extra for yourself, too. [ Seeing as that seems to have been his previous mistake! ]

[greenmagick]

Thank you.

[Tempest smiles and then flutters away. She'll arrive a few hours later with a note from Terra.]

Thank you. They were perfect.

~Terra

[silencesfate]

You're welcome.
