ROUNDABOUT / open + muffins

[Luca]

That was a lot more attention than he was expecting. For a second or two Luca appeared a little overwhelmed, but the he blinked and his composure was back as if it had never left. Well, first thing's first. He turned to flash Marcellus a grin, lifting one of the vanilla muffins and holding it out to the king cheetah. "Sure thing. I hope you enjoy," he said, making sure to make that last word extra sensual. Luca flirted with everybody on reflex, but he did have a genuine interest in the wildcat. He'd be sure to get some alone time with him later. For now he had others to deal with. Next to speak was Caecia, and Luca offered her a sympathetic smile. "Sorry," he said softly, unsure of what else to say. Maybe later he'd make her something else to make up for it, but he was a little preoccupied at the moment.

Next in line was Goldie. Luca was already fond of her, and he greeted her with a wave of his spaded tail. He laughed a single syllable at her words and dug around in his basket for a chocolate chip one, because that was a god damn classic, a real hit with the youth. "We should back together sometime, then," he said as he handed it to her. "And feel free to come back if you don't like that flavour, I have plenty." He'd feel guilty if she felt like she had to stick with something she didn't like just because he gave it to her.

He turned to Keona and Séamus next, flashing the latter a smile. He remembered the guy from his joining; he'd stuck in Luca's mind as one of the few to entertain him since he'd shown up. "Been baking my whole life," he confirmed with a  touch of pride, the faintest hint of a blush settling beneath his fur. Keona stating that she didn't eat muffins came as a shock to the hellhound. A kid without sweets was like a party without alcohol; depressing. Maybe that wasn't the best analogy, but Luca was going to stick with it. "Maybe you should stick with vanilla then. It's a good... uh... entry level muffin." He picked one out and set it down in front of her, making sure to avoid getting it all sandy. "But as for recommendations, this one's my favourite," he said to Séamus, picking out one of the raspberry and white chocolate ones.

He was getting used to this, maybe, and luckily things seemed to have slowed down a bit. Luca let out a subtle sigh of relief as he turned to face Caesar, offering him a soft smile. "Not right now, but I can make some if you bring me the ingredients. For now I just have vanilla, choc chip, blueberry, n' those raspberry ones," he said, pointing to each as he named them. "Feel free to help yourself."
