Evelyn came back out into the room, closing the blinds to cover the large windows. Looking back over to Echo, she rubbed the back of her head "I see you're done! Good job!" She exclaimed, taking out another one of the cupcakes they seemed to enjoy so much, "Here's your reward for being such a good helper." She concluded, handing the frosted treat over to the child.

Echo took the cupcake. "Thanks!" Echo ate the cupcake on the way out. "Bye!" She waved and left.

Zeltain was pretty new to the area, and therefore had JUST heard of bakery nearby. As soon as that news reached them they stormed through the trees and paths as fast as possible, finding the little shop and pressing their face against the glass.
"Hello? Hello are you open? Please be open."

Evelyn watched the girl leave, shrugging her shoulders lightly before turning around to grab the key. Just as she was about to lock up for the night, a sudden voice broke the silence. Almost dropping the key from surprise, she opened the door, looking out to see someone with their face pressed against the glass.
She blinked owlishly, her mouth slightly agape, "Oh! Well hello there- I suppose you caught me just in time. I was about to close shop!" She hesitated for a moment, "Please, please come in-" Evelyn bumbled, taking note of the other's appearance. Another member of the cult?

A relieved grin spread across their face as Zeltain entered into the bakery, being briefly distracted by the sound of the door closing.
"Oh heck yeah! I'm so glad I made it before you closed. OH And pardon my gross appearance- I've been working in my shop all day I didn't have time to change before I rushed over." They peered over at the goodies displayed on the counter.
"WOW everything looks so Good!!"

She gesturd for the other to come in, letting the door close behind them. Rushing to get behind the counter, "Your appearance is no problem! You look fine to me!" She chirped, leaning forward slightly.
Evelyn then took this moment in time to get a better look at them. Yes, they definitely must be a member of the cult with how the looked. Three in one day! She felt rather lucky to finally have some company all in the matter of hours. It was perhaps a bit overwhelming!
"Really? I'm glad you think so! Feel free to pick and choose whatever you like. We have donuts, cakes, breads, tarts, cookies..." She rambled on, making plenty of gesticulations to emphasize her point.

Zeltain bounced and rubbed their hands together with excitement, starting to make a list in their head.
"Boy oh BOy! OH before I actually pick anything out- what kind of currency to do you take? Gemstones? Gold? Bones?"

Evelyn raised her hands, "Okay, okay, slow down pal!" She paused, for a moment. Of course, these treats were sold for the regular human currency, but the sound of gemstones sounded enticing- something she could add to her collection! Of course she wasn't displaying a very sound business practice, but it wasn't like anyone would miss a few treats.
"Well I do except gemstones, yes!"

Zeltain never had had a huge amount of experience with humans, so they didn't really have any idea on the methods of human currency and trade. They grinned at the baker though and dug their hands into their pockets, pouring a couple handfuls of shimmering stones onto the flat of the counter. Tigers-eye, labradorite, lapis lazuli and more shimmered in the dim light(Not to mention a couple finger bones but well, nobodies perfect, right?)
"I hope some of these will suffice! Lapis is cheap, I know, but its great in spells! I've got some of my best Peridot here too! How many fruit tarts will this get me?" They practically vibrated with excitement on the other side of the counter. In fact they were levitating several inches of the ground.

Evelyn watched the other closely as the delved into their pockets, incredulous to see what beautiful gems he had pulled out. Leaning forward, she couldn't help but gasp, "Is that Labradorite there next to the Tigers-eye?! I've never been able to get my hands on any!" She exclaimed. She already had some lapis and tigers-eye, but it was always great to have those gemstones in a surplus. She payed no mind to the finger bones- she'd take those as well.
"Throw down some of the Peridot you brought with you along with what's on the table and you can have as many as you want!" Evelyn exclaimed, clasping her hands together. It was quite obvious how enthused she was.

"Oh yes! I have a few pieces here, this piece has a wonderful blue flash to it!" They handed a flat piece across the counter for the shopkeeper to look at while they reached into their pockets once again to pull out a palm-sized peridot sphere and placed it along with some smaller chunks down on the counter.
"This is the lot! Could I get eleven fruit tarts then, if you have them? That should last me a couple days!" Zeltain didn't have a sweet tooth. Totally. Not. Yes. ....Maybe. ...Yes. Yes they definitely did. It was an addiction, really.

Evelyn wasted no time in scooping up all of the brilliant, dazzling gemstones, looking over to her bag which was laying behind the counter. She then placed them there before resurfacing, brushing aside her bangs, "Coming right up!"
With that, the candle demon reached down to the middle tray to her right, counting out eleven fruit tarts before putting them into a paper bag for the other. Setting them on the glass counter which looked down onto the baked goods, she froze for a moment, her expression becoming pensive, "Say, you... you sort of look like me- in the lightest of terms, anyways! Are you perhaps in the Candle Cult like I am?"

Zeltain rocked on their heels (sort of? they were still floating) while waiting, a steady smile on their face. They were eyeing the tarts as they were placed into a paper bag. They just couldn't WAIT to bite into one... Savoring every fruity flavor and crumbly texture of the crust and- Oh, whoops. The baker had spoken.
"OH- Uh, Why yes! I am actually." They stretched the pitch black appendages on their back, making the blue flames at their joints flicker.

Nodded in understanding, "I see! I've never seen you around before- and I didn't catch your name there, friend." She paused, "I'm Evelyn. Evelyn Leigh. But everyone I've met just calls me Evie- Elijah on my other days." She introduced herself, holding a hand out for him to shake.

"Ah yes, I've been a bit of a shut-in for a while! But I figured it was time to leave my shell." They shrugged.
"Its a pleasure to meet you though, Evie! My name's Zeltain, Zeltain Venomspell! But everyone just calls me... Well, nobody calls me anything. I don't have friends! Zeltain is fine." They teased, giving a dorky smile as they reached to shake Evelyn's hand.
