Viktor arrived at what he thought would be a time conducive to taking Melinda away from the bustle for a little while. It was after the general lunch rush, which even if it was a weekend he knew still happened during the day, but before things would get in a rush at the end of the day. He carried with him a card that Tsveta insisted on making before he left, and some flowers she also insisted on picking from his mother’s flower boxes.

His little girl certainly had her own ideas, sometimes. Viktor didn’t protest, though; after all, on this day, when everyone here was celebrating, and it couldn’t hurt to give a gift. Besides, Melinda was very nice and kind and he liked her. She was also very good to Tsveta and he could only be grateful for that.

He arrived at the shop and made sure Melinda saw him before he found an out of the way spot to lounge until she had a few minutes. He was in no hurry, and he had the time to wait while she saw to other customers and things she needed to do. He settled in a corner where he wouldn’t be in the way and flipped with split attention through a slim novel, keeping an eye on the activity so she wouldn’t have to wait on him when she got a moment.

Melinda smiled back at Viktor; his warm smile making her incapable of not doing so. He really ought to smile more, she thought to himself when she noted the way it reached his eyes. She really wished that he could stay, and sure, she could ask him to, but like he had said; he’d rather be free of a mob descending on him and she was already in an odd headspace today, so all in all she figured it was for the best. Then hopefully they could meet up sometime when she wasn’t so fed up with the world in general that she just couldn’t relax completely around him.

“I have them all ready and packed behind the counter,” she said, the hint of regret evident in her tone, before she levitated their cups out back to the sink. Once she had washed her hands, she retrieved the packed up treats. “So that’s one Raspberry Kiss and on Black Forest Cupcake,” she said, checking the order from Viktor, before she added another box to the top. “And a pack of tea samplers for my newest taste tester.” Her smile widened at the thought of how Tsveta seemed to like being involved in this. “There’s the Orange Flower, the Ginger Bread, the Vanilla, the Floral Rose, the Green Tea & Peppermint, and the classic Afternoon Tea. The Vanilla tea is the usual favourite for girls her age, but I think that the Floral Rose may be a flavour that’s pleasing to that age group as well.” She paused for a moment, looking at the boxes, then quickly packed up a JoJo cake as well. “For Misha,” she told Viktor. “I don’t have any siblings myself, but I can’t imagine having to share is always all that easy.”

His eyes held his own regret, but he respected her shop and really didn't want to create a disruption, apart from his own dislike of too much overt attention from the public. "Ah, quite the variety. Ve vill have much fun giving them all a try, I'm sure." For goodness knew his daughter would rope him into the tasting as well, and in reality, he really didn't mind.

"You are really too kind!" he exlaimed softly when she added a Jojo cake for his son. "Thank you, many times over," he said sincerely. "He will love having his very own cake." There wasn't much rivalry between the two, at least not yet, though of course there were moments at times. He had to remind himself sometimes to pave the way now to a better relationship for them later, and this would definitely help.
