The fact that he was in the kitchen probably surprised no one, but what he was doing probably looked a little funny. The candy thermometer, the multiple pots, all the cleaning...

Summer ice was not an easy thing to make. He still had a few faint lines on his arms from when he'd first tried to make it after Sarima's sisters had been taken.

That said, the scent of rosewater and lemon and sugar was high on the air and everything was going smoothly. He already had his first batch on the counter, the second in the fridge and the last he was just finishing up.

[open as they are!]

"I would like that," she replied, smiling.

He nodded and went to do just that, but had to admit that he didn't quite want to let go.

He looked at his arm around her, gave her a squeeze and pulled away with an apologetic smile.

"A few or many?"

Amber really didn't want him to let go either but reluctantly she let him.

"Just a couple. I don't want to get fat, you know," she teased.

"No danger of that," he told her with a faint smile. He loaded a few more than a couple into the bag, folded it over, and held it out to her.

"As you like," he said with a crisp nod.

She took it and then hopped down from the counter. "Thanks, Liir. I'll.. guess I'll see you then!"

He nodded, perhaps a little more quickly than he would have usually.

"I'll see you, Amber."

His mouth still felt strange. Too warm and a little as if she was still there.

"See you," she wiggled her fingers at him and walked out, a light bounce in her step.

He waved...

And then realized that his pots had probably hardened up while he was busy.
