Remy had been feeling a little off for most the day, but a nap had only coaxed out more symptoms, chest feeling tight, and her breathing short and wheezy. Grumbling to herself, Remy makes her way downstairs, bee-lining straight for the infirmary for asthma meds she needs only once in a blue moon.

Sometime later, she can be found curled on one end of one of the couches and flipping idly though a book and her new inhaler resting on the coffee table in front of her.


Botherable either in the infirmary, or afterwards on the couch. Chances are she's not going to stop for you on her way to the infirmary.

"I've been around here, mostly. Just keeping to myself. Bound, really."

[sunbaked_baker]

"How long has that been going on?"

[numbered_doctor]

She pauses to think.

"Got locked in a little after the allpocolypse."

[sunbaked_baker]

"Shiva wept, Remy..." Sunshine is aghast. "That's been over a year."

[numbered_doctor]

She frowns, brow furrowing.

"Has it really been that long?"

[sunbaked_baker]

"According to the seasons here, it has," she replies. "It's only been a few months, back in my world."

But that's because she's been using the bar to heal up between fights.

[numbered_doctor]

She makes a soft, pondering noise.

"Time flies, I suppose."

[sunbaked_baker]

"And swims, and leaps, and doubles back, and comes out of the woodwork, and burrows through the leaves, and all other sorts of annoying habits," Rae commiserates, wryly.

"Come see what I've been working on," she suggests, bumping Remy's shoulder with her own.

[numbered_doctor]

She smiles at the affection, slinging an arm around Sunshine's shoulders.

"Give me just a little bit longer to stop feeling shaky and I'm all yours."

[sunbaked_baker]

"Yeah, you're going to need all your strength for this," Rae grins, only a little smug. "I don't want your knees giving 'way when you take the first bite."

[numbered_doctor]

"Your deserts are good enough to make someone swoon on a normal day, I'm curious to taste this project of yours now."

[sunbaked_baker]

"It's something of an experiment. Odd, I'll admit, but I think it'll grow on people," she explains. "What I'm using isn't a common flavor combination."

[numbered_doctor]

"Well then," she says, easing her way to her feet slowly. "Let's go then."

[sunbaked_baker]

Sunshine offers her a hand up, smiling slightly. "They should still be warm, which I think is how I like them best. I've been tweaking the recipe these past couple of days, but today I think I got it right."

[numbered_doctor]

"I think I should be honoured, to be your test subject."

[sunbaked_baker]

"Careful," she advises as they make their way towards the kitchen door, "some of my test subjects never fully recover."

They'll live with that craving for the rest of their lives! Mwahahaha.

The kitchen, when they go through the door, smells of summer. Lemon and herbs warmed by the sun, with the dark earthiness of chocolate. Some innocuous-looking brownies sit in a tray on one of the cooling racks.

[numbered_doctor]

She breathes those scents in as much as her lungs will let her, smiling faintly at the delicious smell.

"Well, it's a good thing I'm a doctor, then."
