{[Private re-homming of Kuriko.]}

Audley smiled as he pulled a pipping hot tray of fresh muffins from the oven. Blueberry and boysenberry, they smelled wonderful. He could imagine them dripping with fresh butter, and he only offered real butter, and being devoured by happy, smiling customers. He turned to put them on the cooling counter, and promptly tripped over a child. Kuriko.

He cried out in despair as the muffins scattered across the floor, many of them crumbling on impact. He sighed and looked at the brown-haired boy, this was not the first time something of this nature had occurred since Kuriko had been returned to the shop.

Audley had felt good when he'd placed Kuriko's box with a guardian, he'd hoped that the little boy had found a happy home; but error was human, and Kuriko had been returned to the shop and Audley's care. Now, as much as he loved the sweet-smelling child, Audley wished he could find a new home with someone who would love him.

For his part in the disaster, Kuriko simply went silently for the broom and dustpan and began cleaning up the mess he'd help make.

Alex only ever had good intentions. The best of intentions, really. But as much as his parents said that good intentions were all that anyone needed, the way in which Alex displayed the very best of his intentions was not entirely wholesome. Not for his own well-being, anyway. It was freezing outside, and the poor choice of clothes that he was wearing to cover his tiny body did little to stop the onset of hypothermia, or something of the like.

Coughing weakly, squinting his eyes against the biting cold air that pushed against him, Alex saw a haven half hidden in the cold mists. It was a lovely little shop, Alex thought grimly to himself. He'd have to hurry in and out rather quickly, in that case. Pushing the door open and scurrying inside, he kept his head down and quickly made his way to the counter.

"Get something for ma, leave. Get something for pa too, maybe," He mumbled furiously to himself, keeping his eyes pointedly fixed on the counter.

From the depths of the shop Audley heard the bell on the frount door tinkle lightly. He threw one last disparing glance at the little boy and the mess of muffins, then hurried to the counter to meet his guest.

"Good day!" He said brightly, his face shining at the slightly forst-bitten person standing before him. "Is there anything I can help you with today?"

"Uh, hm..." Alex slumped a little, examining the pastries on display. "Oh, for my ma, I..." He trailed off again, eyes wandering across the shelves.

It was clear he was nervous to be there, eyes darting around in a distracted sort of way. In honesty, it had been a very long time since he'd let himself out of the house.

"For your mother?" Audley asked kindly, smiling at his distracted patron. "We have some lovely petits fours today." He gestured to a pile of tiny cakes Kuriko had helped him arrange in the glass display case this morning. "Or maybe you were looking for something special. . .?" He trailed off, waiting for a response.

"P-petits..." Alex pointedly avoided eye contact, wringing his hands and staring blankly at the displays. "Oh, uh..." He wasn't really seeing the food on display, honestly; just looking right through them.

He stuttered awkwardly for a moment or two before chancing a glance in Audley's direction. "What, uh...what would you recommend?"
