    Beaux entered through the door of Estelle’s Bakery, home of the claimed “best desserts in all of Era!”. A little bell rang out pleasantly above his head, the clear notes echoing around the little shop. A few customers sat at tables in the space, giving him a glance as he entered. The Rune Knight admired the bakery’s interior. A glass case lined one side of the counter. Inside it were shelves filled with desserts of all kinds - platters of brownies, jars of cookies, whole pies. Beaux found himself nearly drooling at the sight.

    The angel was a regular at this particular bakery. He definitely vouched for their claim of being the best bakery in town. Coming from Napedia, a culture where baking was cherished almost as much as money, he was a fiend for pastries. The day after he got settled into the Rune Knights, Beaux had gone to explore Era and satisfy his craving for a good macaron. This was the first place he had encountered and loved it from the moment he stepped in.

    Behind the counter, a young woman waved enthusiastically. “Hi Beaux!” she cheered as he approached the glass cases she stood behind. Bonjour, Elisa!” Beaux replied, his signature charming smile crossing his face. The angel loved making connections with locals and he and Elisa had bonded the moment they met. He considered her a friend already.

    “Can I get you the usual?” she asked, already grabbing a plate.

    “I’m here for a different reason,” Beaux said, putting his hands out to stop her, but changing his mind. “Actually, I will take my usual to go!” he said with a laugh.

    “Got it!” Elisa replied, bustling around behind the cases for a moment. She produced a paper bag that Beaux took and stuffed in his jacket pocket. A few jewel were taken from his pocket and handed back to her.

    “I accepted a job flyer about a cake delivery, do you know of it?” he queried, leaning an elbow on the glass case.

    “I do. The one for the little boy’s birthday?”

    “That’s the one!”

    “It’s all ready to go. Eeee I’m so excited!” Elisa squealed, wiping her hands on her apron. “This kid is gonna love the cake so much, I just know it.”

    “I can’t wait to see it!” Beaux said with a grin. The cake was for a little boy whose 10th birthday was today. His parents had custom ordered a special cake from Estelle’s Bakery. Apparently the boy was a huge fan of the Rune Knights. Thus, the parents had reached out to the headquarters and requested that the cake be delivered by a few of the Knights themselves! As soon as he saw the job notice, Beaux knew it was right up his alley, not to mention an excuse to go get himself a pastry. He had accepted it without hesitation.

    “Is it just you doing this job?” Elisa asked, preparing a receipt to go with the cake.

    “Non, I’m waiting on another Rune Knight,” Beaux explained. Upon accepting the job, he had decided to invite someone along. Being the socialite he was, Beaux had reached out to a new Knight, Kyra Forte. Only recently had she joined and was part of the Engineering Corps. He hadn’t had the chance to meet her yet and was thrilled at the opportunity. Making friends - or at the least, acquaintances - was something he had always enjoyed.

    “Perfect! I’ll go get the cake ready while we wait,” Elisa replied, disappearing into the kitchen. Beaux took a seat at the nearest table. He found himself looking out the window to the street and watching the people go by, letting his mind wander.

    Notes: -


    There was an air of excitement around Kyra today as she made her way through the streets of Era. The day was beautiful for starters and being out of the workshop for a change felt great. Sure she was missing her tools and V-1 (who she felt needed to relax and recharge), but all work and no play...well technically work and play were the same thing to her, but the point was that she needed a day of change. She'd received word that one of the Major General's had a special job to do, and had requested her presence for it. She'd been skeptical at first when she was told that she'd be delivering a birthday cake; such a job seemed awfully simple and almost mundane for someone of such high standing. But then perhaps that was the point. Jobs such as this kept the Rune Knights grounded, and reminded them why they did what they did, and who they did it for. So, when she was requested by name, she accepted eagerly. She'd heard that the Major General had already gone on ahead and would be waiting for her at Estelle's Bakery - a place she knew all too well herself as she'd already had a few of their cakes. She would have to treat herself whilst she was there. Their chocolate creme eclairs were to die for.

    Unfortunately it was a little bit of a walk from the Rune Knights headquarters to the bakery, and Kyra had taken longer than intended to get moving as she tried to find out the details of the job prior to leaving - mostly out of nerves. Who got called to a job with someone so much higher up the ladder? She was a Private; the lowest rung of the ladder, and someone that - with exception to those who knew her parents - most people didn't really bat an eyelid at unless they saw her in the workshop. She'd built up some camaraderie with many of the Engineers in there, but none of those were really the type to pick up this kind of job. They also weren't anywhere near the rank of Major General. So this meant whoever this superior was, they'd either done their research or they'd picked her name out of a hat - or close to it. This made the job somewhat daunting. Thankfully one thing could be said for overthinking the situation - it made walking to the bakery seem like the walk was done in the blink of an eye, as she looked up at the sign in front of her, with its beautifully painted lettering and that amazing, overpowering scent of freshly baked pastries and cakes. She had to suppress her own cravings for a moment before she stepped forward.

    Kyra walked through the door right as the clerk stepped out the back, leaving herself in the shop that was now empty with the exception of a rather dashing looking young man approximately her own age. Once again though Kyra became aware of the fact she'd modified her uniform; the man was dressed in a similar uniform to the Major General who had enlisted Kyra before, but the design was ever-so-slightly different. This meant he was in a different part of the Rune Knights. But it also meant this was the man Kyra was due to meet. And this ALSO meant that she was probably supposed to be in official uniform, rather than wearing her white jacket - crucially adorned with the crest of the Rune Knights - skirt and knee-high boots She approached him and saluted before bowing her head respectfully. "My apologies for my tardiness sir, it took some time for me to get ready." she stated before smiling nervously. "I am Private Forte. I heard that you requested my assistance?"

    Beaux looked up as a young woman entered the bakery. She had long hair that was a similar tone to his own silvery locks. The Rune Knight symbol on her jacket was the first place his eyes went. A smile covered the Major General’s face at the sight of the familiar symbol. This was definitely who he had been waiting for! Only a few minutes had passed since he sat down, but he didn’t mind.

    Kyra approached and greeted him with a salute and full formalities. She even called him sir. Beaux was still unused to the respect people addressed him with. While he grew up in a culture that prioritized manners, he had left at a young enough age that he had never experienced being formally addressed until he joined the Rune Knights. Within his own squadron, he insisted that in casual settings they simply call him by his first name.

    “B-bonjour,” he stammered, taking a moment to collect himself before standing up and extending his hand for a shake. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Private Forte.” The Major General gave his own little bow of acknowledgement.

    “You can just call me Beaux,” he added with a pleasant smile. It was clear she was nervous, he wanted to help her feel more comfortable. “No need to apologize, I didn’t mind waiting. This is my favorite bakery anyway.”

    “Oh! That reminds me. Would you like something to eat? I’ll buy!” He gestured to the vast collection of sweets contained within the glass. Should Kyra agree, he would wait until she picked something before placing the correct amount of jewel near the register for Elisa.

    “I asked you here today to help me with the delivery of a special cake! Today is the 10th birthday of a local little boy. He’s a big fan of the Rune Knights and his parents asked that it be hand delivered by some of us. I also thought it might be a good chance for us to help make his birthday wish and for us to meet!” Beaux explained with an endearing tilt of his head. “I like getting to know new people!”

    Their discussion was interrupted moments later as Elisa emerged from the kitchen with a large box. It was made of sturdy white cardboard with some thin wooden braces for extra support. On the top was the last name Wilson with a printed receipt taped next to it.

    “Here you go!” Elisa called out to the two, placing the cake box on the countertop and sliding it towards them. Beaux stepped forward and gently lifted it up. Glancing at a cutesy clock on the wall, he realized that they were running a little short on time to make it a few blocks away to the Wilsons’ house. Looking to Kyra, he gestured towards the door with a nod of his head.

    “Let’s get going! Au revoir, Elisa, I’ll see you again soon! Thank you for all your help today,” Beaux voiced his appreciation as the Knights headed for the door. Elisa gave him a wave and returned to her duties with a smile on her face.

    This was the second Major General so far to insist upon being referred to by his first name. It was not at all what Kyra had expected upon joining the Rune Knights; she's expected things to be a lot more militaristic but in reality, it was likely no different to being a part of a standard guild - with the exception of the criminals and having the Magic Council breathing down your neck at least. Unlike her previous meeting with a superior though - the one who referred to himself as 'Doppo' - Beaux was relaxed in a way that made Kyra feel more comfortable as well. Nevertheless, she wasn't about to let her formalities slip even if that's what the Major General had stated. She had too much respect for her superiors to do that.

    The Major General then mentioned about the bakery they were stood in being his favourite bakery and, suddenly, there was common ground. "Ooh! Same! The cakes and pastries here are the best I've ever had!" she blurted out, then remembered that she still had to clean up the paper bags that she'd left at her workbench. She needed to stop eating whilst working, but it was just so much more efficient. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Beaux offered to buy her a cake. She froze. Did she dare accept? Was this a test? Don't be stupid, you can't let him buy you a cake! He's your superior! If anything you should be buying him a cake as an act of goodwill!

    Unfortunately, even as she was thinking those words, something else entirely fell out of her mouth. "OOH! Can I have a chocolate creme eclair please?!" she blurted out excitedly. Then her brain caught up with herself and she suddenly looked incredibly sheep-ish. "Uh...that is...if that's okay?"

    Apparently it was okay as Beaux placed the jewels on the counter to pay for it, before then turning his attention back to Kyra to explain the job; today was the birthday of a local boy who was turning 10 years old, and he absolutely loved the Rune Knights - something Kyra could relate too all too well. His parents had requested that the cake be delivered by members of the Rune Knights as a special occasion. Kyra could help but smile at the sweetness of that, and at the fact the Rune Knights had agreed. They were relatively busy with missions and other work, so for them to take the time out to make this day special for one child was, quite frankly, incredible. Beaux then added that he liked meeting new people. Kyra smiled back at him in response. "Truth be told, I'm glad to meet new people too. I didn't realise how lonely it can get when you first enlist. But I wasn't expecting to be asked to help someone of such higher standing." she replied. Her attention then turned to the returning clerk, Elisa, whom immediately gave Kyra a knowing look. "The usual?" she asked, causing the engineer to turn slightly red in embarrassment as she nodded. Elisa bagged the cake up and handed it to Kyra, who immediately put it into her pocket. Beaux had picked up the birthday cake by this time and was now headed to the door, so Kyra bowed in thanks to Elisa and turned to catch up with her superior.

    "So which way are we headed to Sir? According to the details I was given, we're running shorter on time than expected." Kyra then finally looked at the streets in front of the took and gasped; in the space of literally five minutes the streets had gone from being fairly relaxed and empty to being absolutely filled with people rushing about. This job had just become a full-blown mission, and Kyra was already formulating a plan of action.

    Beaux’s brow furrowed as Kyra mentioned being surprised by his request for help on today’s job. He often forgot how high his ranking actually was above the recruits. In his own worldview, they were equal, but in the Rune Knights ranking, he was her superior. Slowly he began to understand why she had been nervous. A Major General from another branch was probably the last person she expected to be contacted by. Desperately he hoped that he hadn’t made her too uneasy. That was the last thing he had meant to achieve.

    Oui, we’re heading down Sutton Street, which is what we’re on now,” Beaux explained, using his foot to hold the door open and following Kyra through it. “After 3 blocks we’ll be taking a right on Geranium Lane, then the house will be on our left-...” his merry description trailed off as they made it out to the street. The angel’s jaw dropped. What was an avenue filled with only a few civilians had become a bustling mayhem! People pushed and wove through the space. The noise was quite loud.

    “Oh dear,” Beaux fretted, gripping the cake box even tighter. He raised the volume of his voice slightly so his guildmate could hear him over the crowd. “I suppose we’ll have to make our way through.”

    Pondering for a second, the Major General raised a finger excitedly as an idea came to his mind. “I have an idea, Mademoiselle Kyra.” The formality came out by instinct, but the silver-haired man hoped she wouldn’t mind too much. “It requires your assistance though.”

    From beneath the formal shirt and jacket on his back, a pair of snowy white wings emerged. They slipped through premade slits in the clothing and extended to his sides. The limbs were massive and caught the attention of many people passing by. Some let out oohs and aahs, while others hurried faster on their way. Beaux hoped he hadn’t shocked anyone too much, especially the Engineering recruit at his side.

    “I’m going to wrap my wings around in front of me to act as a protective enclosed shield for the cake,”
    Beaux explained, motioning his wings forward to demonstrate. He pulled them back and continued. “While flying would certainly be easier, there’s no way I can carry both you and the box. I also fear that landing may ruin the cake,” a frown crossed his face for a second. “This way is the best way for me to protect the cake from jostling. However, with my wings in front, I won’t be able to see. That’s where you come in!” The Knight gestured to Kyra, his ever-cheery smile returning to his face. By heart, he was an optimist. He didn’t doubt that the two could make it!

    “I’ll need you to guide me along past this crowd! You can do it however you see fit. You have my trust and confidence!” A kindness swirled in his eyes. His words were genuine and he fully had faith in her. She was in the Engineering Corps after all! Engineers were fantastic at solving problems in an efficient and logical way.

    Notes: -


    Kyra was all prepared to listen to her superior's idea for getting through the crowd, but she couldn't hide her shock and awe at Beaux as a pair of beautiful, angelic-white wings burst from the Major General's back and spread out as if basking in the air for a moment. Was this his magic? Or was he actually an angel? It explained his good looks. Well...at least the fairy tales about angels always painted them as being unnaturally beautiful and, whilst he wasn't necessarily Kyra's type - not that she even knew what that was - she couldn't help but appreciate a good-looking person, even moreso when they seemed to be as gentle on they heart as they were on the eyes.

    She had to forcefully snap herself back to the task at hand as she realised Beaux had begun talking to her again, describing his plan; he was going to shield the cake with his wings to prevent it from being jostled, and that meant Kyra would have to guide him. She was about to mention him using the wings to fly - which, she was sure, was 99% of the reason any creature had wings - when he explained why that was a poor idea. Clearly his landings weren't as gentle as the engineer had imagined, not that this took anything away from the fact he had gods-damned wings in the first place. With her task in mind, she had immediately begun formulating a plan as Beaux finished explaining everything; they had to travel down this street - Sutton Street - for three blocks and take a right at Geranium Lane. It wasn't too far, but it was certainly going to be far enough with the amount of people she would have to weave him around.

    The Engineer cursed her luck a little that V-1 wasn't here with them; he'd have been perfect for carrying the cake safely above the hordes of people below. But cursing her luck wouldn't change it. She had options for how to handle the situation of course, but it was finding the one that didn't cause a disruption to the public (something which Beaux's wings would likely do well enough) nor cause a risk to anyone, yet also allowed them to either move people or weave between them. Her visor would work for the latter as she could use them to see where people intended to move, making things a little easier for her at the very least. But she would have to guide Beaux, and that was the more troublesome part. She didn't have the necessary tools with her to craft something he could see clearly...except...

    An idea popped into her head. She immediately un-requiped her boots and skirt, leaving herself in just her bodysuit and her jacket. She then requipped her rifle and, after removing her jacket, she popped the jacket at the end of the weapon's muzzle and pointed it up into the air. "You should be able to see that right? Follow the jacket." she explained before requipping her visor which immediately kicked into life. She gave a confident smile at the Major General. "I'll lead the way, Sir." And with that she stepped in front of Beaux, giving him sufficient time to cover the cake with his wings before she began walking forward, weaving her wave through the crowd less than a meter in front of her comrade, but move so fluidly and quickly that he would never come close to catching her heels. All the while she kept her rifle pointed skyward, the jacket firmly in view for her superior.

    After they'd passed one block, Kyra was able to see the crowd thinning - not to the point that their defences wouldn't be needed, but sufficient enough that she was able to see gaps in the crowds much faster than before. They'd passed the second block much faster this time. "Just one block remaining, Sir. Start bearing right." she ordered. She could see the turning just ahead of them now.

    "How is the cake looking?" she asked, not looking back but raising her voice loud enough for Beaux to hear.

    Beaux could see the gears working in Kyra’s head instantaneously. There was no doubt that a solution to his unruly plan would come easily. Blue eyes observed her actions curiously as the skirt and boots took leave. A rifle appeared from thin air into her hands. The engineer removed her jacket and hoisted it into the air on the tip of the weapon, a white flag visible above the crowds. Beaux’s expression lit up and he nodded vigorously to her question. This would be an easy way to be guided among the throngs of people on Sutton Street.

    Kyra took the lead and Beaux was quick to follow. The large white wings on his back had curled around his front like a giant, feathery cocoon. While he couldn’t see them, he was sure that the bystanders were staring at the two Rune Knights and wondering what the hell was going on. It was surely an odd sight, a woman holding a jacket high in the air and another person walking behind, cloaked in angel wings. Beaux couldn’t help but let out a quiet laugh at how absurd the situation was. His idea was unconventional, but it was the first thing that came to mind. Luckily Kyra had gone along with it and he appreciated her quick wit.

    The only other thing visible to the angel was the sky above and the ground below. He kept his head tilted up so that the jacket-flag never left his sight. The two wove through the crowd with ease. Occasionally he felt someone bump his wing or brush the feathers as they passed. However, the majority of people kept their distance. No great disturbances affected the cake, which the Major General held snugly against his chest.

    The recruit’s voice reached his ears. Just one block left before their turn! Their path took a diagonal trajectory towards the corner of Sutton and Geranium. So far it had been a breeze thanks to Kyra’s guidance. Beaux wondered how much time they had left. Hopefully they would arrive on time!

    “It seems to be in one piece still!” Beaux called back. The box hadn’t caved in his grip thanks to the wooden braces. So far he couldn’t hear any loose pieces rattling around. That was a good sign.

    Above him, the corner of a building passed into view, then out. Loud voices of the busy Sutton Street faded behind them. It seemed they were out of the madness for now. Beaux felt his shoulders relax. He hadn’t even realized they were tense. Wings pulled apart just a bit and the Knight peeked out from behind them. Very few people were on Geranium Lane. Most of them were already keeping their distance or minding their own business.

    Beaux retracted his wings completely and sped up his pace to catch up to Kyra. “I’m so glad we made it through that crowd!” he said with a relieved laugh.

    The relief didn’t last long. From a nearby alley that the two Knights had already passed came some barking. A pack of stray street dogs burst from the darkness, flooding out into the street. They were fairly scruffy looking and a variety of breeds. The leaders sniffed around in search of food. A few even lunged at nearby civilians, who retreated swiftly up and down the street away from danger.

    The lead dogs seemed to catch a whiff of the delicious cake in Beaux’s hands. Many dogs began to approach, barking and growling. There was no way they could be allowed to steal the cake! Thinking quickly, the Major General handed off the cake box to Kyra.

    “Hurry, the Wilsons’ house is just a block more! The number is 244. I’ll hold them off and follow as soon as I can!”

    Finally the duo made it onto Geranium Lane, where the population was considerably more sparse. Kyra lowered her jacket down and popped it back on, before requipping her boots and skirt back over her bodysuit and unrequipping her rifle with a sigh. It had been unconventional but it had worked. The Major General had thankfully protected the cake like the professional he was and was now retracting his wings, quickly catching up to the engineer with and laughing with relief. Kyra laughed back in response, but the two were quickly stopped as something else caught there eyes; dogs. Stray dogs. Hungry stray dogs. And they'd picked up the scent of the cake in almost no time flat. Some had even attacked some of the nearby civilians. Kyra was about to handle the situation herself, but was beaten to the punch by Beaux. He handed her the cake, giving her the necessary instructions to the Wilson's house including the exact house number - 244, which Kyra made a mental note of - before he then turned and prepared himself to handle the dogs.

    Such bravery. Such devotion to the cause. A few tears trickled down the face of the pearly-haired maiden as her superior stepped away to fight the beasts that  were threatening the peace. She saluted him proudly. "I will be sure to give the family your best wishes if you don't make it in time. Stay strong, sir." With that, she turned and ran down the lane, tears dropping to the floor in her wake as she left her comrade behind. But she only got so far before another stray stepped out from the shadows and eyed her, its nose twitching at the scent of the cake in her hands. She was trapped. She couldn't go back to Beaux because of the other strays. She couldn't requip because the cake would likely get damaged. She couldn't outrun this dog either, because the risk to the cake was too high.

    She had no other options. The tears that were trickling down her face before were now a full blown stream as she pulled her chocolate creme eclair from her pocket. She looked at the paper bag sadly. It was for the greater good. She kissed the bag before throwing it far to the side of her. The dog pounced immediately on the bag, tearing at it to get to the delicious treat inside. Kyra wasted no time, fighting all urges to look back at her comrade and her lost love as she ran down the road.

    The house they were due to deliver the cake to was not too far down the lane, but far enough that the disturbance of the strays were long behind Kyra by the time she arrived at the house. After catching her breath for a moment she approached the front door to the house. She could hear excited shouting and screaming behind this door, the unmistakable sounds of children playing and having a grand old time. If only they could understand the effort that today had required, of the work she and Beaux had put in, of the sacrifices they had made. She wiped the tears from her face and took a deep breath, composing herself before she knocked upon the door. The sounds of footsteps approached the door and it swung open to reveal a woman, visibily older than Kyra but still youthful in appearance, who smiled warmly at the girl. "Good day ma'am, I am here with a birthday cake for a certain young man's birthday!" she said in her cheeriest voice possible.

    Kyra gave him a salute before she darted off down the street. “Godspeed, Private,” Beaux whispered, the breeze stealing his words away the moment they left his lips. Baby blue eyes watched her retreat woefully. Hopefully she would make it to the Wilsons’ house, and he desperately hoped that he would too. A particularly loud bark made him whirl around to see that the dogs were much closer now. Some had started to run, intending to avoid Beaux and chase after the delicious cake that was now in the engineer’s hands.

    The angel had to act quick, or they would pursue his companion! From behind, his wings snapped out once more in a flourish. From wingtip to wingtip, Beaux suddenly took up nearly the whole street. Such an instant and unexpected movement had the chasing dogs skidding to a stop across the cobblestones. Several let out yelps of fear. The tall man had turned into a much larger, more threatening being. Beaux had intended to make himself look more intimidating by appearing to be bigger. It worked for wild animals to defend themselves, so it ought to work similarly for the Knight. Five dogs ran from the scene with their tails between their legs. The remaining ones had flinched at the extension of wings, but now continued forward cautiously, growling as they went. The cake was long forgotten, and now the big bird-looking human before them was the target.

    Beaux felt a little relief that the numbers had dwindled. If it came to it, a battle would be much easier now. A lead dog broke the slow approach and lunged at him, jaws open wide with slobbery jowls that dropped spittle everywhere. One wing folded slightly and came forward, the joint using momentum to knock the dog back. Beaux winced as his attack landed and the canine went skidding across the stone road. He didn’t want to hurt any of the dogs, he had a soft spot for animals. There had to be a way to scare them off or something! He backed up a few seconds as his mind raced. The angel wasn’t quite as quick-thinking as Kyra was.

    An idea came to mind and his wings were already starting to transform. In a second, the elegant white wings became even larger and turned a stormy gray color. Beaux drew them back behind him until the tips were only a few feet apart. Then, with a sharp exhale, he pumped them forward. From beneath the wings came a powerful gust of wind, fueled and guided by magic. The air whipped towards the dogs and it was too late for them to dodge. Barks of fear came from the pack as they all were sent tumbling backwards down Geranium Lane.

    People who had retreated into shops to save themselves now peered from the windows with awe. The sight of so many street dogs rolling down the street like fuzzy tumbleweeds was a shock, hilarious to some. While a few of the onlookers giggled, unheard behind the glass, Beaux wiped a few tears from his eyes and sniffled. He felt awful for having to do that to the dogs and despite how viciously they could have attacked him, he thought about the scrapes and bruises they might have and let out a little sob.

    Now that the pack had retreated, he was free to follow after Kyra. Beaux walked up Geranium Lane, wiping away tears as his wings returned to their normal white. Nothing in the street had indicated that the mission was a failure. Hopefully she had made it safely.

    The Major General spotted something down the stone road, a brown paper bag with the Estelle’s Bakery logo printed on it. The item was stuck beneath the paw of another street dog, who now raised his head as Beaux approached. The alleyway swallowed the dog as he retreated, licking his jowls contentedly with a spring in his step. Coming to a halt over the bag, the Knight realized just what this meant. Kyra had sacrificed her dessert for the mission. Beaux placed a hand over his heart at the tragedy. An eclair had laid down its life for the sake of a birthday cake. A noble act for a noble cause. He saluted the fallen bag before picking it up and placing it in his pocket. A Rune Knight couldn’t let litter just sit there!

    Jogging up the last stretch of street, Beaux heard the party before he saw the house. Kids were shrieking in excitement and running around the house and backyard. A cluster of balloons had been tied to their mailbox, hailing any partygoers to the correct destination. This was definitely the right place!

    Beaux slowed himself to a walk to catch his breath and tidy up his hair and clothes. The parents certainly wouldn’t be impressed if a Major General showed up with unruly clothing! One last deep breath and he was heading down the walkway. Kyra stood in the doorway with the cake box in hand, not a scratch could be seen upon it. She must have arrived just a minute or two before him. Two adults stood inside the doorway, talking cheerily with the recruit. Beaux arrived just in time to catch their question.

    “Is it just you?” the mother asked, a little disappointment in her voice. “Non, madame,” Beaux answered before his fellow Knight could say anything. The Wilsons looked surprised at his sudden appearance, standing next to her. “I, too, have come to deliver the cake for your son’s birthday! Major General Beaux Phacelia and Private Kyra Forte at your service.” The angel gave a little bow. Both parents looked relieved that there were two Rune Knights now in attendance.

    “Mama? Papa? Who’s here?” came the voice of a boy faintly from a room in the house.

    “Nobody, son! Now go gather your friends, it’s time for cake!” the father called over his shoulder in reply.

    “Okay!”

    The parents beckoned the two Knights inside. The house was quaint but well-decorated. While the mother went to go round up the children at the dining table, the father explained what the plan was.

    “Our son, Luke, will be so happy. Thank you for coming! When the kids are all settled, I’ll have you enter the dining room and present the cake. Maybe exaggerate a little bit, the kids will love it! Sound good?” Beaux gave a nod. “Great! Oh, and be warned. It might get loud in here.”

    “Honey, will you bring the cake in?” the mother called, and that was their cue. The Major General looked to Kyra, then stepped into the dining room. Kids sat all around the table, some climbing all over their chairs while others sat patiently. Plates and silverware covered the tablecloth, ready to be covered with cake.

    Twenty young heads turned to stare at the two Rune Knights as they entered, all of their eyes wide in awe. All the noise and movement in the room came to a halt instantly. “Happy Birthday, Luke!” Beaux cheered. “We are from the Celebration Squadron of the Rune Knights, here to spread happiness, fun, and to protect your celebration from evil!” The angel gave a deep bow to the children, then struck some exaggerated poses with a few HIIIYAs and KAPOWs as if he were fighting off an invisible evil with air punches. For a few seconds, nobody said anything. At the head of the table a little boy with a comically large party hat had begun wiggling and shaking, his excitement building up until he couldn’t hold it any longer. The small human leapt from his chair with an ecstatic squeal, running over to the two Knights. He jumped up and down in front of them for a moment, yelling “Rune Knights! Rune Knights! Rune Knights!”. Beaux was starting to wonder if he was breathing among all that shouting.

    Other kids started to get out of their chairs. Before any of them reached the Knights, Beaux took the cake box gently from Kyra and placed it in the center of the table. They had worked too hard to get the cake there for it to be destroyed by the very children it was destined to be eaten by! He did it just in time. The birthday boy had latched into his leg with an enthusiastic hug, squeezing and still yelling excitedly. That was all it took for the rest of the kids to ditch their seats and swarm all over the two Knights.

    Beaux had the most impeccable timing of anyone she had ever known. Her dashing superior turned up at the door to the Wilson's house right as the parents had looked rather dejectedly at the young woman being alone. Granted she didn't exactly look like a Rune Knight, at least not the ones that might be seen patrolling the city. But damn it she was a Rune Knight still and she should've sufficed. Still, having Beaux here was definitely going to make things easier and she found herself somewhat at ease now. The parents beckoned the two Rune Knights in and Kyra took the opportunity to smile at Beaux, albeit somewhat sadly. "Thank you for the eclair but...it didn't make it..." she mumbled, supressing the urge to cry. She'd been looking forward to that cake...

    She had little time to be sad though as the parents informed the duo of their plans; they were to enter with the cake when summoned, and were requested to exaggerate a little when they arrived. Kyra nodded to show she understood, then waited with her superior for a short time as they waited for the call. She took this opportunity to silently mourn the loss of her cake, wiping her eyes dry just in time for the verbal cue. They made their way into the dining room and, upon entering, the engineer found it very difficult to be sad anymore; some twenty small heads turned to face them and, as Beaux announced they were from the Celebration Squadron - the fact that this squadron wasn't a real thing was an outrage - the faces of the children all lit up.

    And then the stampede happened. First was the birthday boy who almost lunged to hug Beaux's leg, with the Major General just about setting the cake on the table in time. Then the rest came. They were all asking questions over the top of each other about what the two Rune Knights did and about the bad guys they'd caught (Kyra opted not to tell them that, actually, she'd not arrested anyone yet as she was new and that wasn't necessarily her responsibility). Thankfully it wouldn't be too long until the children were back in their seats awaiting the cake, although they still kept glancing at the two. It gave Kyra the chance to speak now without having to shout as the parents took over slicing the cake. "Right then, the birthday boy gets the first slice!" she called out with a grin, her inner child coming out now. "And the rest will be a race between myself and my colleague. I'll give cake to the right side of the table, he will give cake to the left side. We run one slice at a time! The loser..." she began, but had to think for a moment of a prize. Then it clicked. "...the loser has to have a mouthful of cola, and then eat one of these!" she declared proudly, placing a small, round mint on the table next to the bottle of cola. "Outside of course. We don't want to make a mess." she added, giving a cheeky grin to Beaux. She had no intentions of losing this.

    The swarm of children sounded like a nest full of squabbling baby birds. Question after question was hurled at the two Rune Knights. Beaux had started to answer some but gave up quickly as his voice was drowned out. There would be time to hang out with the kids after the cake was served.

    Speaking of, the mother had just started to open the cake box as the young ones were settling back into their chairs. As she pulled the sides of the box down, the magnificent confectionary masterpiece would be revealed. It was two tiers tall with sweet colored buttercream frosting coating each layer, one in white and one in blue. The frosting was smoothed to perfection and decorated with little blue stars and Rune Knight symbols. Everyone’s eyes went immediately to the top of the cake. Estelle’s had gone above and beyond, for atop the cake sat a little platform that hosted two lacrima-powered animated figurines of Field Marshall Sinclair and Director Ragnos. The magic surrounding them was intricate, as their movements were realistic and smooth. They bowed, sparred, or stood idly, seemingly on a loop of scheduled motions.

    The children oohed and ahhed, their young eyes fixated on the figurines with wonder. Even Beaux was entranced. He’d never seen such fantastic magic used on a dessert before. After a minute and a few pictures with an iLac, the mother placed the figurines to the side and resumed the cake cutting. The inside of the cake mirrored the outside, layered with shades of blue. The slice was given to the birthday boy.

    Kyra piped up, challenging Beaux to a race to divvy up cake to the remaining children. They would run pieces to each side of the table, and whoever delivered their last piece of cake first would be the winner. The loser had to consume the mint and cola that she had placed on the table. Beaux didn’t have a clue what exactly that would do, but if it was the loser’s fate it had to be a punishment of sorts. Maybe it just tasted bad together? It wouldn’t be long before he found out.

    The children seemed thrilled by the idea of a game. They were already arguing among themselves about who they thought would win. Despite all the arguing, the birthday boy seemed to refrain from picking a side. He just seemed excited to be witnessing such a fun event.

    The mother finished putting slices on plates and lined them up at the end of the dining table. Two groupings of plates were separated by a little gap, indicating which was for whom to pass around. Beaux and Kyra were ushered back to the doorway of the room and placed side by side. The Major General could feel his adrenaline kicking in already. This would be a public test of skill for the children to enjoy. Kyra had given him a cheeky grin earlier, which he returned as the whole room started counting down and cheering them on.

    “Three!”

    “Two!”

    “One!”

    “GO!”

    Notes: -


    Beaux returned Kyra's smile with one of his own and that settled it all; it was on! On the word 'GO' both Rune Knights began dashing up and down the table, small plates of cake in hand as the children all cheered on the Rune Knight on their respective sides of the table. The first few plates the duo were neck-and-neck, but as they reached their fifth plates disaster struck - Kyra placed the plate on the table and, as she turned, her foot slipped from under her. She recovered quickly but it was too late; Beaux was already halfway down the table with his sixth plate as she got back to the head of the table. By this point there was no catching up and the pearl-haired maiden knew it. But she kept going nonetheless. Slip-up or not, she wasn't a quitter and she wasn't going to make excuses. This might be a fun little competition, but she would be a role model to these kids, showing that even if things go wrong, you keep on going and finish what you started.

    After a few more moments the race was over. Beaux was already back at the head of the table again as Kyra placed her last plate in front of the eager child. The party erupted into cheers as she walked back up to join Beaux, a defeated smile written on her face. "Congratulations Sir, it appears you have won this game." she began, bowing to her superior before turning to the children. "I will see you all outside as soon as you've finished your cake! Enjoy!" She remained high-spirited as she was beckoned out to the family's back garden, carrying the cola and the mint as she went. She gave a small sigh and shook her head at her own misfortune - she'd made this challenge, and she was to pay the price. Still, it would be entertaining to the children at the very least.

    A short time later and the children had finished their cakes and headed out to the back garden. Kyra was stood in the center of the grass, the bottle of cola open in her hand. She waited until every single one of them was out of the house before she began talking to them all. "Okay, a little bit of science for you all. I'm an engineer so testing things is what I do, and this is one that I think you'll all find super-fun! So, if I put this mint in my mouth and pour some cola in, there'll be a reaction between them." she explained, then grinned at Beaux in particular. "Okay, here we go!" It was now or never. There was no backing out. She popped the mint in her mouth and, after a very brief second of hesitation that no-one but the adults might see, she poured the cola in her mouth.

    The reaction was instant. She lifted her head back and opened her mouth, releasing a fountain of froth a few feet into the air whilst still pouring the cola in. By this point her eyes were closed and she was absolutely soaked in cola, but the reaction from the children was priceless. Even through the hissing of the froth she could hear them howling with laughter and shouting 'WOW'. She wished she could see Beaux's reaction in particular but sadly if she lowered her head now, every other person would be sprayed with projectile soda froth!

    The race was on! Both Beaux and Kyra darted forth, grabbing plates of cake and placing them before the children. The parents and kids all cheered and hollered, encouraging the two Rune Knights in their game. Excitement filled the room from everyone and the positivity only made the angel push himself to go faster. As he was returning to grab another plate, he noticed Kyra slip out of the corner of his eye. She was at a disadvantage now and he had the lead! In moments the race was over. Kyra returned to his side, defeat on her face. “We both did great!” he cheered. “It was a close race.”

    While the kids dug into the cake, Beaux headed outside, but not before giving a longing look at the dessert. He really wanted to taste it after having gone through hell to get it to the party. Perhaps the parents would offer them some, but he would not ask outright. It was a lovely day outside, so Beaux sat on a bench in the yard and waited with Kyra for the kids. The sun warmed his back pleasantly.

    Shortly after, the kids flooded out of the house, forming a semi-circle around Kyra. Beaux stood and joined them a small distance away. The Private began to explain how it all worked. Many tiny faces stared at her with wide eyes, paying rapt attention. The Major General had a similar expression as the children. He was always excited to learn new things! She stepped back and Beaux returned the smile she sent his way.

    In went the mint, the cola joining a moment later. Instantly the liquid began to foam and spew from Kyra’s mouth as she was still pouring. Beaux’s jaw dropped. He had never seen anything like this before! What was it in the mint that reacted to the cola? Was it similar to the reaction between baking soda and vinegar? Questions bubbled through him. He joined the young ones cheering in awe at the cool experiment. This was turning out to be a fun afternoon!

    Soon, the cola ran out and the foaming ceased. Beaux ran to grab some napkins from inside, returning to the yard and handing them to Kyra. She was soaked in cola and froth. The Knight couldn’t keep the smile from his face. “That was fantastique! I’ve never seen anything like it before!”

    Beaux felt a tugging on his uniform and looked down to see the birthday boy at his side. “Can you show us your magic and tell us how you take down bad guys? Please? Pleasepleaseplease!” His begging words turned into one jumble as the other kids joined in. Wide, adorable eyes looked at the Knights pleadingly.

    “Of course!” It didn’t take much to convince Beaux. He wanted to make sure this birthday party was a blast. “What do you think?” he asked, turning to Kyra.

    As the mint finally fully dissolved and her mouth was no longer resembling a volcano, Kyra brought her head down and, with a cola-soaked face, gave a smile and a bow among the cheers. Her superior approached her with napkins in hand, his face a picture of awe not unlike that of the children who were now surrounding them. Indeed it seemed he couldn't contain his excitement, stating that he hadn't seen anything like it before. Kyra blushed slightly and giggled. "Understanding chemical reactions is crucial in my line of work, otherwise I'd risk blowing the HQ up." she replied simply, trying to somewhat deflect some of that awe.

    As she finished her statement, the children swarmed the pair of Rune Knights and completely surrounded them, desperately wanting to know more about the two and the magic they used. Beaux looked at Kyra and asked for her opinion, to which she smiled and shrugged. "I don't see why not, Sir." she replied. She closed her eyes and brushed her hand along the watch on her right wrist and, in an instant, she was coated in a white glow. Then, as quickly as it had appeared, the light vanished and she was dressed in her official Rune Knight uniform, her battlesuit hidden beneath it.

    Of course, this was just one part of her "magic". She dared not show her weaponry around children, but she had other options to show what she had. As she opened her eyes, their usual sapphire blue would be replaced by an amethyst purple hue. Another brief white flash and her eyes were covered by a clear-blue visor. Her hands, which were bare before, were now covered by thick, black and white gauntlets that were accented by gently throbbing blue lights. Her requip completed, she knelt down and began to explain it. "My 'magic' is fueled by technology. If I see bad guys, I use it to put on special gear that lets me handle the specific bad guy. If they try fighting, I get a weapon, like these gauntlets, and teach them a lesson."

    Kyra then looked up at Beaux. She realised that she didn't actually know about his magic and what it did. Judging by his wings from earlier though, it was sure to be pretty and striking to look at. "But Major General Phacelia's magic is surely more interesting." she added, curiosity quite clearly getting the better of her.

    Beaux watched Kyra’s transformations with interest. She had donned a blue visor over her eyes and her hands were now covered in a set of gauntlets that glowed with a blue light. She began explaining to the young ones about how she took down the bad guys. Of course, he should have guessed her magic could be tech-related seeing as she was in the Engineering Corps. Surely she would become a great asset to the branch.

    “My magic isn’t as practical as your tech,” Beaux deflected gently with a smile. His magic tended to be more showy on a surface level. There was a raw, holy power to it, but he would only show the children some of the basic stuff so as not to go overboard or scare anyone. It would be inappropriate of him to use something dangerous at a birthday party.

    “I have the ability to take on the features of several angel-like beings,” the Major General began explaining. “However, I have my own set of wings that are around all the time. They don’t go away. They’re really handy to have if I need to fly out of a bad situation.” With that, his massive white wings extended through the slits in his uniform with a flourish. He may have made the movement a little more flashy for the entertainment of the party-goers. The angel wasn’t usually a showoff, but this was a special occasion.

    Beaux pumped his wings and launched into the air, hovering for a second above the kids before gently settling back to the ground. He then transformed his wings into a different set, a pair that glowed a fierce gold. These were the wings of the only female angel takeover in his arsenal. She was a glorious sight to behold, as every part glowed with a shimmering golden light. Beaux had decided against doing the full form, so he just did the wings instead. Some of the kids let out squeals of excitement, their faces lit up by the light coming from the Major General. The birthday boy looked so happy he might pass out. The sugary cake wasn’t helping their crazy energy levels either.

    “This is the coolest birthday party ever!” he screamed as the kids began to run around and play, acting as if they were Rune Knights battling evildoers.

    “I want to play Marshall Sinclair!”

    “Whaaat? But I want to play her!”

    “I’m Kyra! Look at my cool weapons! Pew pew pew!


    Beaux couldn’t help but be amused by their antics. As the kids got more and more distracted by their playing, the parents made their way over to the two Rune Knights. “Thank you so much for all of this,” the mother said with a relieved smile on her face. “Everyone’s having a great time and you guys were awesome. We’re so grateful!”

    A cheerful smile crossed Beaux’s face. “Of course, Madame,” he replied. “We’re both glad we could be here to help celebrate.”

    The Major General's magic was even more beautiful than Kyra had anticipated, even from the small amounts he had shown off. He started by showing off his pearl-white wings, the very same that he'd used to shield the cake from earlier. Even having seen them before, the Engineer couldn't help but be in awe over them. But then he changed them and Kyra's eyes lit up in a way that competed with the birthday boy himself; the pearl-white had changed, a powerful gold glow emitting from them. So transfixed on them was she that took everything in her power not to approach her superior and touch the feathers.

    Thankfully she was snapped from her brief stupor by the screams of the birthday boy, clearly ecstatic at how great a birthday he was having. As if on cue, all the children began to run around the garden, playing as their favourite Rune Knights. Two were bickering over who would be the Field Marshal, one pretended that she had wings like Beaux. One child had run indoors and come dashing out moments later with a saucepan lid, saying he was General Stern, the Shield of Fiore. It reminded her that she hadn't yet met the General of the Combat Corps. Kyra then blushed bright red as one of them began to play as herself, even brushing along their wrist to requip just as she had done moments before. The idea that even one child was idolising her, however brief, was an alien thought that she'd never even considered might happen.

    Thankfully she was quickly distracted from this by the parents of the birthday boy who approached the two Rune Knights, both smiling broadly - as much with relief as anything else -  and thanked the two of them. Kyra shook her head and smiled back, her face returning to its normally pale colour. "I echo my colleague's sentiment, it was absolutely our pleasure. Nothing could have made us happier..." she began to reply before trailing off. Nothing could have made her happier...except for her chocolate creme eclair...

    With everything that had happened since that most painful of moments, Kyra had almost forgotten her greatest loss. It had been a noble sacrifice of course, and one she knew she wouldn't have changed even if she could. But was there a hint of regret there? Absolutely, yes. Her eyes lowered slightly for a moment, a brief second of mourning crossing her face. But then...she could get another one. A BIGGER ONE! It would be approaching dinnertime by the time they returned to the HQ, so that meant she would need enough cake to sufficiently fill her and allow her to focus on her remaining tasks for the day.

    Her head turned to face Beaux, her sad smile crossing her lips slightly and her puppy-dog eyes looked directly into his icy-blues.

    ★ Cake Time! ★ 64u0cFG


    Kyra’s voice had trailed off as she agreed with his sentiment. Beaux glanced sharply at her, concern crossing his face. Was that a sad note to her voice? After all the excitement of the party, was she upset at something?

    His eyes opened wide as he realized the cause of her woes: the lost eclair. The fallen soldier that had given its life for their mission’s success. A cake made it to its destination because of the sacrifice that was made. It truly was a tragic end for a pastry, no wonder she still felt sad about it. The puppy-dog gaze she was giving him made the decision of what to do next an easy one.

    “I hope you enjoy the rest of your afternoon. We must head back to headquarters shortly, unfortunately,” Beaux explained to the parents. Even if there was no real obligation that they had to leave for, they had been at the party for quite a while. The mother gave an understanding nod and thanked him again. Luke had overheard and gathered all his friends to come over and grab onto Beaux and Kyra’s legs in a group hug. “Do you have to go?” he asked the angelic man with a pout on his face.

    “Yes, but you’ll see us around Era, I’m sure,” Beaux replied, patting the top of his head. “Happy birthday and have a fun afternoon!” The kids gave a chorus of goodbyes. Their sadness was short-lived though, as they left the Knights and resumed their games within a minute as if they had never been sad in the first place. He admired their lively spirits.

    Leading Kyra through the house and out the front door, he turned to face her. “We can head back to Estelle’s,” he reassured Kyra with a gentle pat on the soldier. “I’m sure Elisa would gladly give you another eclair she heard about what happened.” That would give him the opportunity to get another delicious item from the bakery too!

    “I’ll race you there!” Beaux challenged, his youth showing itself, inspired by the playfulness of the children they had met today. He took off running down the street, grinning over his shoulder as he went.
