Sometime After Beltaned (2018)...
The Empath entered Mamma GiGi's Gelato e Dolci and was immediately overwhelmed by the delicious scents of sweets that wafted along the warm, afternoon breeze. The displays were equally overwhelming and the diminutive elfess strolled up to the sparkling clean counter top, accompanied by Lyavain on her left and a wheeled suitcase trailing slightly behind her on her right. When asked what she wanted, Eless managed to surprise the older lady with silver-streaked, black hair, pulled back into a tight bun. "Yes, a pint of every flavor, "she repeated rather seriously. "And an assortment of thy best-selling sweets as well, please." Mamma GiGi immediately began to call out the order to the three young girls assisting her behind the counter and they, too, did a double-take. "Would it be possible to have it delivered as soon as it is prepared?" Eless added hopefully.
The woman wiped her hands on her apron and nodded, "Si...Si. Not a problem, signorina."
"Terrific! Grazie!" Elessaria quickly wrote out the address on the back of a receipt and handed it over to the ecstatic shop over along with her payment, including extra for tips.
The blue flames in her eager gaze sparkled with excitement as she waved her farewells, and exited the now bustling shop, still trailing the suitcase behind her. Lyavain led the way to the Empress' home where the Empath planned to catch up with her dear friend over delicious treats. In the suitcase where three sets of sumptuously soft pajamas in vibrant animal prints. (The third in case Sapphire was visiting as well.) In addition, Eless had included other goodies for pampering including a selection of her Skin Silks, and the necessities for manis and pedis.
There was quite a lot for them to catch up on...
