Who: Brighid & Samuel.
What: Cupcakes, courtesy of Mrs Griffin-Laurent.
Where: #705.
When: Late evening, after this.
Warnings: None yet.

Samuel took the stairs down from P3 two at a time, a broad grin brightening his features. Red velvet would not have been his first choice for cupcakes, but free cupcakes were always a welcome thing. Further, judging by the trappings of the penthouse suites, it seemed a reasonable guess that the six cupcakes he bore down to his own level had likely cost what he himself had never spent on a single dessert; red velvet or no, they would be something to behold. Six, though, seemed too many to keep to himself, and not nearly enough to take to work. He thought through the building's tenants, considering each one he knew, deciding whether he knew each of them well enough to invade their apartments with baked goods at this relatively late hour.

In the end it was Brighid who came to mind. He had found no feasible way to apologize for the argument she had walked in on - and a literal apology, whether to Brighid or Lia herself, had not at all crossed his mind - and free dessert seemed like as good a method as any. So he bypassed his own apartment, his steps carrying him straight to her door. Balancing the carefully wrapped package on one palm, he rapped at the door.

"Brighid? I come bearing gifts..."

Brighid considered this as she silently chewed more of her cupcake. After a few moments, she nodded slowly. "So you do like her. And almost coming to blows with her in the lift is something like pulling her pigtails in the schoolyard and running away, then? Sure you men are a crazy lot, d'ya' know that, Samuel?" Her head now wagged in the negative. "Bloody starkers." Guessing he might object, she plowed ahead.

"You should take her a cupcake, then. A peace offering. And it won't cost you anything but a few seconds on the stairs. Unless you get stuck in that crazy lift. It must be male, too."

His lips had thinned to a narrow line, downturned at the corners. Inwardly he knew she was right; the comparison was as vivid as it was apt. Outwardly, however, it was frustrating to hear his approach put in such terms. "Like y'all are any better," he mumbled, sulky as a child. His rough fingertips plucked at a corner of the icing-smeared wrapper. "And why should I take her anything?" He looked up from his worrying fingertips, his attempt at a frown failing, though still valiantly avoiding becoming a smirk. "I know you won't believe me now, but she really did start that." Even as he said the words, he knew how asinine they sounded. Even he wasn't certain he believed them. "Doing that will cost me that walk and my pride. And the joy of knowing I was right. You know she'll make me apologize, or something equally stupid."

His petulance amused her, and while Brighid knew she ought not, she grinned. She quickly hid it by taking the last bite of cupcake. She shrugged, then took a drink of water. "Suit yourself then, Sergeant." The last was said with as sweet a smile as she could muster without laughing at him. "I imagine you could even convince yourself she doesn't like cupcakes as an excuse not to take them up, yeah?"

"Maybe she doesn't." His shrug was a close mirror of hers. "Not everyone likes red velvet, you know." He popped what remained of the dwindling cupcake into his mouth, graciously keeping his mouth closed in spite of his suddenly puffed out cheeks. The cupcake thus dispatched, he flicked his tongue out over his lips, finishing off what icing clung to his smiling mouth. "She seems more like chocolate, I think. Maybe dark chocolate. Rich and bitter." He laughed at his own joke, pushing off the counter, beginning the search for a trash bin. "Not that that's a bad thing, I guess."

She couldn't help it: she laughed. Then she immediately covered her mouth with her free hand and tried to school her face into a disapproving expression. "Under the sink," she told him, mostly to distract herself. That accomplished, she sighed.

"Ah, well. Maybe it's just as well, yeah? It wouldn't do to have her thinkin' you might actually like her."

"Hell no," he said, moving where she'd directed. "I'd never hear the end of it." Leaning down, he tossed cupcake wrapper and napkin into the bin, gently pushing the cabinet door closed. "But what about you, kiddo?" He straightened up, looking over to her from beneath a sharply arched brow. "You see anyone around the building who catches your eye?" He grinned, pleased with his idea before he'd even spoken it. "Anybody I should run a background check on?"
