Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [08/16].

[white_oleander]

One of the nice things about working at a store that sold practically everything was that, on occasion, in addition to a nice discount on her ingredients for Monday Morning Breakfasts, Astrid could also occasionally come across a neat little tool to help her out in making the efforts a bit more interesting.

Assuming that everything cooperated, anyway, which it definitely did that morning, so that she could put some of the molded shape egg frying pans she spotted the other day to good use.

She liked this, too, because, even if no one showed up today, she had a bunch of little mini scrambled and fried eggs in the shape of hearts and stars and teddy bears and it was just an adorable, kind of wholesome way to start her day, regardless.

Sometimes the smell of breakfast was hard to resist. Today was one of those times for Belle.

"Oh, those are darling!" Who didn't want breakfast shaped like teddy bears, after all?

"I thought so, too," said Astrid, passing a faint smile over to Belle. "Help yourself. They're just as easy to make as they are cute, so I've been kind of industrious..."

And had yet to run out of eggs, to boot. Funny how that always (well, almost always) worked out.

The truly impressive food supply in Fandom was one of its best features!

"Thank you," Belle said, reaching for a plate. "It's almost a shame to eat them." But egg art would hardly keep, so she wasn't going to let the cuteness stop her from enjoying her breakfast.

"I think it's a bigger shame not to eat them," Astrid noted,in a reflection of the narrative, and then, after a pause, added, "So they don't go to waste. Not because I made them, or anything, but I am a pretty firm believer in the temporary nature of some art."

"I wouldn't want to waste them," Belle agreed. "So I'll just take a moment to appreciate them before I eat."

If she were social media inclined she might have taken photos but she wasn't. So she just smiled at her bear-shaped egg before taking a bite.

"Tasty and adorable!"

"Can I use that?" asked Astrid. "In case anyone needs convincing to buy these," she held up one of the little pans, "at the store? That's a pretty good testimonial."

"That only seems fair since you've provided breakfast," Belle said. "Please feel free."
