It was a secluded spot. But it was not without a view. The hill looked right onto the ocean. A cliff close by. They could see sea creatures poking their head out of the water. It was a peaceful sight and the wood behind them offered them protection from preying eyes. The sound of the water crashing over the edge of the world was daunting. It was mesmerising and terrifying at the same time. It was hard not to notice the world end only a mile or so away from them.

Gen flopped down onto the blanket and glanced up at the man with her. She could not believe how lucky she was. John was incredible. He something so daring about him. Something she just could not resist and she knew that he could talk her into a lot with that voice of his - not everything maybe - but a lot more than most people. Lucy and Rachel were the only exception and that was because she knew them.

She bit her lip, trying to stare not too obviously, and instead busied herself with the task of unpacking the basket. "So... I figured something out. I am terrible at making cookies." Her muffins had been halfway decent. But the last batch of baking she had done had been a disaster. She had fished a tin out of the basket and opened it up. In it lay five forlorn looking attempt of gingernut cookies. They looked more brown than red. "Eat with caution."

John had just popped back from taking a cigarette break. Typically he didn't care too much. He smoked wherever he wanted when he wanted, but it had worked as a convenient excuse to sneak off briefly. He had paid for a gift for Gen and asked for it to be brought near where he and Gen would be meeting. He had gone off to meet with the woman who had brought the newly made gift with her, and he had collected it. Of course, he had a smoke too. Or rather a couple. And he'd no doubt forget and smoke later on.

John had set his coat to the side before joining her. He moved to sit down beside Gen, looking into the tin when she showed him what was inside.
"They look perfectly fine to me" he said. "Okay, maybe a bit overdone but I'm sure they'll be fine" he smirked, leaning over to press a kiss to her lips as he took one of the cookies out of the tin.
"See? Not that bad. Don't let me cook, I'm sure I'd end up making a mess of things" he smirked.

Genevieve leaned into the kiss. She could taste the cigarettes on his lips. People where she had grown up did not smoke. It was nothing they could afford anyway. If you had to decide between growing vegetables and growing tabacco, well, the choice was easy. So smoke for Gen was all John. When she went through the streets on earth and smelled it, she was immediately reminded of John.

"I think Lacey will be our rescue. These are the good ones. I gave the rest to Snuffles." The hellhound had devoured the burned gingernuts in quick bites. He enjoyed everything burned. "But I cut vegetables." She fished out other boxes from the basket and spread the on the blanket. Most things had been bought in Asgard.
