"I don't really have a hobby. I like to read but...Eh, besides that I've been too busy with med school to worry about a hobby." Shawn chuckled a bit. "Eh, my sister is likely more harsh with me than you'd be. Then again, she hates my guts for some reason." Though he'd been told the reason many times, he didn't have the same view on the past as his sister, however. So, it never really got resolved.

---

"I was adopted by my boss, so I'm lucky that I don't have to deal with that. My brother's already an adult so he didn't have to deal with that when mom died either." Chloe let out a sigh of relief. She was generally left alone by her father-figure, Richard, but she was happy with how things were. "He's always helping me learn about cooking too. I'm glad I get to be there still."

[Tazha_bear]

She frowned. She didn't exactly like being harsh to people unless she had to be. "sounds bad." she said. "It's just I only know very few people. I was home-schooled so only my birth-friends know me." she said. Birth friend were what she called people who were born same sate same time as her. Irish twins are what humans called them. they called them birth-friends. And four of them were in her band. "I'm not usually so talkative." she said and than rubbed the back of her hed, running her fingers through the back of her hair. "You're her family. She may think she hates you but family can't hate each other. Besides, hate is a very strong word. too strong to use for anyone or anything. Unless she has a good reason to hate you, i don't see the right for her to even treat you badly." she said with a quick, comforting hug.

~*~*~
She shrugged. "It's life! Anyways, If you want help baking the cake, I'm up for it. It's a horrible way to say you can count on me if you need help with it but... yeah. Whatever.GRR! talking is so aggravating." she said, crossing her arms over her chest and sighing.

"what she means is she can't stand being away from an oven for more than thirty minutes and she's ready to get her hands on some ingredients and start cooking." Corin cut in in his dark, soft voice.

[Juneberry]

"Please don't be so touchy-feely..." Shawn mumbled. "It's sort of annoying to be touched too much by people you barely know..." He didn't want to sound harsh, and his voice was soft as he said it, but he really couldn't handle the constant physical expressions of comfort or other such ideas. "Sorry, it's just... I find it really irritating... I'm not one for overdoing touch when I can keep it from happening."

"As for my sister, I don't fully know her reasons, but she says it's because she felt I was useless to the family during the worst of things, and it upset her. I can sort of understand that... I couldn't find work and yet in middle school and above she was working in a bakery to help pay the bills when mom couldn't get out of bed. But still...I did more then I think she knows. Mom never really told her though, I guess."

---

"Well thank you but... I want to do this on my own. It's my first big task as a pastry chef, so I want to do my very best on my own." Chloe smiled silently, digging through a bag near her for a container, taking it out to reveal a set of cupcakes, lined up neatly with white frosting and a strawberry topping each one. "If you'd like, though...I could use your input on the cupcakes I made. I wanted to give some to my cousin while I'm there. She loves cupcakes, especially if they're a sort of Neapolitan flavor mix. I love getting input though."

[Tazha_bear]

She nodded. "You're in hell around me then... It's like my version of a tick. I don;t even know when I'm going to randomly hug people." She said apologetically than shut down her lap top, putting it up and calling an assistant for some snacks and warm milk.

Hataka shrugged. "I was useless for my mom when she clicked and killed five of my siblings. She always told dad about something knocking against her skull.. Dad killed her too. Can't you just tell we're such a tight knit family." she said, putting her arms behind her head and leaned back. "And ever since then I walked around encircled by agents, security... It's actually a bit demeaning. Not to mention the lack of control over life.... You guys want something to complain about, watch a whole bunch of people you know and love be killed by your mother, watch your mother be killed by your father, and your father become chokingly over protective. Then by all means beat yourselves up, blame each other. Though she was your mother, blaming someone who wasn't at fault is just plain stupid." She said. Her voice was deadly low by the time she finished, and the hiss at the end was blood chilling.

~*~*~


Corrine smiled, but when she heard Neapolitan, she wrinkled her nose. "I know, being a novie professional baker, I should like the stuf or at least be able to eat it but Neopolitan stuff and me just don't like each other. Literally. I'm sorry, I'm no help this time." she said, bowing her head slightly and offering an apologetic smile.

[Juneberry]

"I don't really blame anyone for mom dying. She died of illness. But...seriously, your life sounds like something you'd read in one of those horror novels. The way you said you've got a tick that makes you randomly hug people and stuff would make sense in your shoes. I mean, isn't it sort of like a way to prove someone's there? After so many people getting killed by other people you love, in front of you making it worse...Even I can tell you that's normal. A psychiatrist would say the fact you can talk about it and seem semi-calm is crazy."

---

"It's not a problem. We all have things we don't really mix well with. We also have things were work best with. For me it's fruit. I love working with fruit pastries." She giggled a bit. "Actually, the first thing I learned to make was a strawberry tart. What about you? Sometimes our first pastry says a lot about us as a baker."

[Tazha_bear]

She looked over at him, clicking the candy against her teeth as she thought. "Not exactly something you'd expect from someone like me though, eh? But what can I say. It's better having a hugging tick than being cold and distant and cutting myself right." She said with a slightly self-conscious laugh.

~*~*~

She smiled, trying to remember the first things she made. "I liked making anything creative. Even my family recipes had a special something added to them just to give my signature spark. For me, everything has to have either cinnamon or chocolate in it. So my first pastry was a cinnamon chocolate cream puff. Sounds weird, I know, but I somehow made it work." she said smiling. "I think I made the dough itself cinnamon flavored, an the filing chocolate. I can't remember I was so little... But it tasted heavenly." she said, taking a deep breath of the stale plane air as if she could smell her first ever personal recipe.

[Juneberry]

"I'd rather stick to being the plain and boring med school student I am," Shawn replied, chuckling a bit. "I don't want to be considered a stereotype. I just want to do things the way I do and live that way. It's much simpler to just do what seems right for you, isn't it?"

---

"I can see that working, actually. Cinnamon dough isn't uncommon, and I've made chocolate filled cream puffs before. It sounds like a nice combination. Too bad I couldn't try it." She giggled a bit in a nonchalant manner, smiling. "One time, I got an order for cheesecake and it was a person who generally liked spicy food ordering it for themselves. So I made sure to use pepper-jack cheese when I was making the cream cheese for the cake. The frosting was pretty plain and sweet, but it turned out really well. He especially liked the hot pepper I put on the top for decoration and a finisher."

[Tazha_bear]

She smiled at him. "Yep. No offense, your goals with the med school thing is noble, but shouldn't you do something you typically enjoy?" he asked him, obviously going for a total subject change.

~*~*~

She wrinkled her nose than laughed. "Oh dear. That one sounds unique. I did this really weird meat, ramen, and ice cream pie. It tasted good until the noodles foze up." she said, giggling a little.

[Juneberry]

"I do enjoy it, actually. While the medical books are tedious, I like the idea that someday I'll be able to help people who are sick. Besides, finding out about different kinds of ailments is interesting, and the medicines are also interesting. I know what to look for if a doctor sees me too."

---

"I don't know if I'd like that. I'm not big on meat. I bet Richard would though if his wife would let him eat it. He's diabetic so you'd have to use sugar free ice cream, but he loves his carbs, protein and dessert." Chloe laughed a bit, smiling easily. Somehow, it was a strangely easy conversation.

[Tazha_bear]

She shrugged. "I used to want to be a vet, or a doctor to be honest. Wanted to be the one delivering babies but things came up and school just wasn't my forte, so I'm a drop out. I mean, I qualify for being a vet, because I did homeschooling and college for that area, so if my musical career ends, I'll have something to fall back on. But just a full fledged doctor specialized in some big fancy word I don't know. You got some real talent. I'll give you that." She said with aneasy laugh.

~*~*~

"I don't eat a lot of meat but I was curious. I used to be vegitarian but I decided that some things were just meant to be eaten. I don't eat certain animals, but others, eh.... As long as I don;t know what it is." she said with a nonchalant shrug, smiling at the girl besides her.

[Juneberry]

((I just realized a couple of our characters are totally left out now xD)

"I'm not very good at many things. I can't cook or do art, but.... Medicine sorta just clicks with me. That's why I'm glad to be a med school student. Though...I do hate the tests. Especially the one coming up. It's horrible timing as usual."

---

"Sounds like me with eggs. I used to try to avoid them- but now I'll eat anything with eggs even if it's just plain eggs. I've made vegan cakes before though. If you ever liked vegetarian food, you might like a vegan pastry once in a while. They're pretty tasty."

[Tazha_bear]

[[ lol. I'll bring them in eventually. XD]]

She nodded, her food coming along and she snacked silently, sipping on her milk. She always had warm milk before a nap. She absolutely hated most cold things, accept ice cream. That was about the only thing she'd eat cold though. "mmmh.. This has been a really interesting conversation..." she said, finishing her milk and leaning back, getting comfortable. "I have a preformance as soon as we land so I need to get some rest. Wake me when we land?" she asked, smiling up at him.

~*~*~

She nodded. Eggs... The first things she used to not eat because she always said she could hear the baby chicks tweeting. "Yeah... I'd like to try them sometime. Maybe once I get seetled at m new house you can stop by?" she asked.

[Juneberry]

((No problem :3))

"I'd do that anyway. After all, we can't let you stay on the plane afterward, can we? It would be a problem for the people who run the airport too." Shawn smiled, pulling at a headset and plugging it into his arm rest. "Rest well."

---

"Sure, though you'll need to give me the address. Maybe we can work together on it. Considering what we've talked about how we cook so far, it might be even more interesting to work together on a dish."

[Tazha_bear]

she nodded, taking out a pen and some paper. "I don't know the address yet, but here's my cell number. I have a bakery building waiting to be used. Over sized oven and all. We could go all out and make the wedding cake a world record." She said, meaning it to be a small push for her to be more excited about the wedding. "And I'm Corrine Vlad, by the way." she said, smiling.

[Juneberry]

"My name is Chloe Kitski. It's nice to meet you, Corrine." Chloe smiled easily, pulling blond hair from behind her shoulder with an easy smile. "That sounds like fun. I really am excited to get some baking done soon. Baking seems to be my life, you know?" She giggled a bit. "But are you sure it's alright?"

[Tazha_bear]

She smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Actually once my Bakery hits the papers and I get enough business I think I may venture off on my own, ya know. I heard that the city needed a spontaneous bakery... So I had my guardians set things up. If you ever want to, maybe you could help me out with the bakery. You have to admit we are two extremely spontaneous people." she said with a slight giggle, remembering their weird recipes.
