[ Look, City. Look at all these desserts. Cake Pops. Santa Hat Brownies. Snowflake Cupcakes. Sugar Pavlova. Peppermint milkshakes. Pinecone Cheeseballs. Mmm. Diabetes in the making. You can totally tell the chef hates you all and hopes you suffer. ]

[ 'Li' hovers closeby, a little smudge of flour on his cheeks, smiling sweetly like he couldn't be a bigger replica of the Pillsbury Doughboy if he tried. And he is trying. So hard. Not an ounce of cynicism in sight. ]

Just wanted to let everyone know. We have some great desserts at Cafe Satine, if you're in an early Holidays mood. [ He glances away for a moment, creating a pink icing rose in an easy motion. Adds it to a half-decorated cake, before continuing, ] You know, I read somewhere that Christmas originates from an old Roman holiday called Saturnalia. They say it was all about property damage, debauchery and a hideous human sacrifice. Oh. And naked singing from house to house.

[ Pause ]

I have no idea if it's true or not. But it makes you wonder how some things can start out so [ typical to human nature ] wild, and end so [ sugar-coated and distorted ] wholesome.

[ He shrugs it off with a shy laugh. ]

Anyway. Didn't mean to ramble. I hope everyone's doing well this week.

[ A parting nod, and the feed ends. WELL? WHAT'RE YOU WAITING FOR? COME BUY SOMETHING. ]

[ OOC: Hei will be disappearing after tonight for his canon update. He'll return on the 20th or 21st, so be sure to get all the fudd you can from him x3 ]

Is there something you want?

[He may have, after killing his attacker, gone back and taken an egg. It's currently stashed away in one of his safehouses. There's nothing really from their homeworld that he wants, but it never hurts to have insurance. Or a way to put someone in your debt.

Besides, he might as well get something out of his assault.]

[ Hei gives Mao a dry look, a C'mon, really? practically hanging in the air between them. It's an understood fact that superfluous ephemera isn't necessary to a Contractor's survival. All they need are their skills and intelligence. Until then, they can live practically on air. Anyway. You can't trade these eggs for people. Otherwise Hei knows exactly who he'd demand the Deities for. ]

[ He also knows he'd never tell Mao or any teammate about it. ]

Nothing.

[ Finishing the last bits of cookie, he rises, brushing his hands on his jeans. Time to get back to work. Enjoy suckering tender-hearted kids and lonely old ladies, kitty. ]

[He doesn't have to tell Mao; his teammate already knows. ~~It would be Huang, of course.~~ If Mao could, he would smirk. He begins cleaning himself as Hei leaves. Take some time to relax before venturing once more into the fray.]
