[When Freya appears on the screen she has her usual friendly smile but also bright red hair. Her fingers run through the silky strands a few times before she remembers that she's already turned on her device.]

Hi! For those who don't know, I'm Freya and today if Pi Day! [She's a total nerd and loves this holiday.] If you don't know what Pi Day is, ask Victor. It has to do with circles and math.

You know what else is a circle? Pie.

On the topic of pie, I would like some for Pi Day but I can't bake to save my life and I don't know where the best pie in Quarantine is. So I need your help! Hit me up and we can all celebrate Pi Day together. Any pie is good. I'm not picky. Except I can't eat anything with chocolate in it. There's a whole deathly allergic thing.

[A beat.]

I also dyed my hair red.

[In case it went unnoticed.]

Challenge accepted.

[He's still grinning, he might not even care if she's serious. Orion's never been much of a drinker but that came with having approximately zero social life growing up, no wild keg parties to go to or anything like that.]

I'd prefer to avoid the whole death thing. I'm sure I can find something useful for you to do... like hand me various cheeses to mix before baking. Setting the timer, those kind of things.

Commentary is good, can't go wrong with some fun commentary. Just don't spend too much time making fun of my inability to cook or I might need to kick you out.

[He's lived on his own long enough to be confidant in his skills in the kitchen as far as throwing together a few traditional pies is concerned. He's not expecting it to be a culinary masterpiece but a step up from fire and brimstone at least.]

[luckyescape]

[Her smile widens at the idea of getting him drunk. It'd be a long term game, she'd wait until he's forgotten about it and then they can pick out his hair color together.]

I am a very good handerer. Master of handing things.

[She's excited at the prospect of pie.]

Considering I can't cook, I am really not in a position to make fun of others cooking. I can tell you when you're burning things. I have a nose for that sort of thing.

[warnotlove]

[And he will forget about it, probably sooner than she realizes.]

Great, you're hired! You can hand me things... and tell me if anything's burning. I'll try not to let it get that far, though.

[To him it is mostly a joke, he can survive well enough in the kitchen and he doesn't really get the depth of her 'good nose' comment.]

[luckyescape]

Sounds like we'll make an excellent team.

[She is looking forward to food.]

Just name the time. I assume collecting materials is part of the prep.

[warnotlove]

[So much food. Assuming they can find the ingredients without having to stray too far into weird alien substitute territory.]

Oh- uh. Any time, I actually have today off. We can run to the store and grab some things, yeah. Sounds like a plan.

[They'll need to do that, of course. He's so good at planning ahead.]

Your floor or mine?

[He's not picky.]

[luckyescape]

Which floor do you live on again?

[Which floor does she live on again?]

Yours, lets do yours and does two hours from now work for you? I'm at work and leaving early is probably a good way to get fired which I'm actually trying to avoid. [It is rare for her.]

[warnotlove]

The first.

[Can't help you there, Freya.]

Yeah, sure, any time. I'm sure there's some 24 hour stores open if we have to run late.

[He's joking.]

Don't get fired over pie, it's definitely not worth it. I'll probably just surf the web in the meantime. Maybe try to hunt down the best Greek pie recipe Quarantine has.

[luckyescape]

Awesome. Sounds easier, less stairs.

[She's fairly sure she's on the 14th floor.]

You can get a head start on the shopping if you want. I'll meet you at floor one right after work though.

[Freya's smile widens.]

Pie is absolutely a serious issue.

[warnotlove]

Not serious enough to lose your job over.

[Because he cares so much about making sure she stays employed, as if he feels responsible for her or something.]

All right, I'll get started. Just let me know when you're on the way.

[luckyescape]

I won't lose my job.

[Freya playfully rolls her eyes.]

Yeah. It'll be in an hour or so.

[warnotlove]

Just making sure.

[He might be teasing, it can be hard to tell with him.]

All right, cool. Cool. I'll run to the store then, do you want anything? You know, not pie related?

[luckyescape]

Not pie related, huh?

[Freya laughs softly.]

You're just opening a whole can full of worms. How about you grab us some snacks for the pre-pie snackage and then something fun to drink?

[warnotlove]

I guess I'm pretty good at that. We're going to need something while we wait for it to bake though, right?

[He's just being logical. He does that sometimes.]

Snacks and drinks, got it. Such a specific request.

[luckyescape]

Damn straight we do. [She likes the way he thinks.] I try. [Freya flashes him a flirty smile.] I also trust your judgement.

[warnotlove]

I'll get us something sweet since the pies themselves are more like a meal. No chocolate.

[He's got this. At the last part though his expression changes, as if the notion were entirely ridiculous.]

You trust my judgment? Now there's your first mistake.

[luckyescape]

[Freya laughs softly.]

Yeah, no chocolate or you'll have a body for the morgue.

[A joke and yet 100% serious. Even a small amount of chocolate will get her sick and a normal bite was likely to kill her.]

I make a lot of mistakes but I don't think trusting your with snacks is one of them.

[warnotlove]

That's a pretty severe allergy.

[He's never heard of anything like that, it was crazy.]

We'll see. Hopefully I'll grab something you like since you're leaving it up to me. Aren't you at work? You're not going to get in trouble talking to me all this time, are you?

[luckyescape]

Yeah. It's not too bad but it does suck.

[She rolls her shoulders in a shrug.]

I am a master of multitasking but I can go if that makes it easier for you.

[warnotlove]

Well, I'd rather avoid any trips to the morgue.

[He pauses before shrugging himself.]

I'm sure I can talk a bit longer, but maybe when I get to the store I should focus on the shopping. Don't want to buy the wrong things, and I can't really surprise you with the snacks if you see what I'm buying.

[luckyescape]

Me too.

[Her general life goal is to not die.]

That's true. I would be heartbroken if that happened. [Freya flashes him a smile.] I'll see you in a bit!
