Entering through the gates of Magnolia, the man glanced around his surroundings in curiosity. It wasn’t much different from Hargeon, he thought, though the differences were slightly noticeable, such as how Magnolia was more populated than the other town. His stomach grumbled as he grabbed his abdomen as if to stop it from producing strange noises. He was famished and all he could see in his eyes was food, mostly meat. The first thing that caught his attention was a colourful store and through the window, he could see delicious food displayed inside the store. Not knowing what cupcakes were, he continued to stare at the people inside the store, consuming the food. Curious as to how it would taste like, he entered the city, looking like a village boy who had just entered the city, with strange clothing.

She sighed at her reflection and decided that she would simply have to ask in shops and normally she wasn't all to shy about it but after being rejected at five stores, it was a bit demotivating to go on. She went on and walked on on the bright red heels that seemed to be some sort of trademark for her, she sighed once more as she looked at the store. Maybe, just maybe they needed someone here and the cupcakes looked so pretty and so delicious and oh why not just buy one. She walked to the entrance of the store where someone was lingering, "Hi, sorry, do you want to buy a cupcake as well?" she asked simply because he seemed to be in doubt because of it. She should ask Olly if he had a job for her, she came her often enough to know him.
The guy in the doorway was someone she had not seen before, he looked rather beautiful. If you looked through the sweat and dust, which was no problem for Phoebe. He didn't seem to be from around here considering his clothing, it was rude to stare. She didn't want to get before him if he really wanted to order something. She smiled at him with a questionable look in her eyes, did he needed help?

”Oh! My apologies, I probably looked so spaced out.” He scratched his head, embarrassed at his own stupidity. The word ’cupcake’ repeated in his mind a couple of times and he would tilt his head in an angle, his expression bewildered. ”What’s a cupcake? Is that edible?”

She looked at the cupcakes, wondering which one she would pick to look back at the stranger with a surprised look, he didn't know cupcakes? "Oh yes they are. You could see a cupcake as a small round cake, hence the cup. With frosting on it and they come in different colours and flavours." she walked to the counter and pointed them out one by one even though it had names in front of it, "It's really nice to decorate them so they look cute but they are still very tasty. You should try one, what's your favourite flavour?" She asked him while waving at one of the girls behind the counter whom just greeted her with an: afternoon Phoebe. Okay she came her way too often to drink tea, read a book and enjoy a cupcake.
She would wait for the answer of the stranger but in case he needed to consider his favourite flavor, she would turn to Layla and ask if there was a job, if they needed someone to deliver cupcakes, "I'm glad you ask, we need someone indeed."

The young man contemplated, his fingers resting on his chin while he continued to stare the so-called cupcakes. Indeed, he wanted to buy one to test out the flavour. He was starting to understand how these cakes worked due to the explanation he had just received from the girl. ”I prefer chocolate.” He answered. A young lady would appear behind the counter and the ladies would have a small chat while he was too busy observing the food he had just discovered. A job, he heard. His attention immediately shifted from the cupcake towards the girl that stood beside him. If he assumed correctly, this girl was a mage, just like he is. ”I’d like to partake on this job as well.” The man gave the two ladies one of those smiles that would have most girls swooning over him.
It would be a good opportunity to know more about the girl as well, for she had helped him when she had entered the store. Women with unique looks were his weakness as well and perhaps, it might be possible for him to hit on her during the process. The two would be invited into the kitchen where a man, whom he was introduced as Olly gave them the details of the job. It was a simple request, which was to deliver the pastries to households. After being given a ton of boxes filled with pastries, King held more than half of the boxes in his hands, so that the dark-haired girl would not have any trouble carrying a heavy load along the way. ”I’ll take care of this.” With a smile, he would walk out of the store, holding the door open for the young lady with his back.
”King Z is my name. Feel free to refer to me as King or Z. May I have the gratitude of knowing your name as well, m’lady?”

Before she could say anything about their round for delivery, he introduced himself and she would hit herself for her own lack of manners if it was possible. She blushed, which was an easy thing to do for Phoebe as well as that her skin was very pale so it was easily spotted. "My name is Phoebe, nice to meet you." King Z, what a name. But he sure looked as- she stopped her own thoughts.. She would think too much but he was so handsome.
"Le-Let's go to the first house, it's two streets away from here." She couldn't help but stammer, why would people that lived two streets away not pick up their own cupcakes.

Their destination was just two blocks down the street and it took barely a few minutes to reach the location. The next location was slightly further away and seeing how they still had a list of houses to deliver, he began to hurry his pace though still making sure that Phoebe was still with him. Silence reigned supreme between them as they walked until he decided to break the ice. ”What brings you here, m’lady?” While chatting and walking at the same time, by afternoon, he had delivered most of his boxes, only remaining a few.

They would continue to talk and she found him very friendly as they brought the boxes through town. Once they were all done, they were heading back towards the shop, "You should still try one, a cupcake I mean. They are really nice." She didn't want to invite herself along, she had originally come to buy one herself but who knew, maybe she would be asked to come along and if she wasn't maybe she would meet him again some other time.
She told Olly about the delivery and he paid the both of them the amount of jewels that he had offered. Maybe she should go and look for another job, she frowned as she was planning to buy some blue berry flavoured cupcake. Who knew what might happen on that job, she hadn't seen Jeeroy in a while, hmm only time would tell.
