Nope. It's totally different than a normal chocolate cake. Plus this place has the best cream cheese frosting.
[Which is an important component of the red velvet cake.]
The texture is different from a regular chocolate cake, and it's made with buttermilk and vinegar so it's not the same flavor profile. It's it's own thing. And it's better.
[In Danny's not-so-humble opinion. It's clear he's had this debate many times in defense of his fave.]
[Danny's been eating Bairre's baked goods long enough that he's not noticing it at this point, but Lizzie will notice that the more she samples, the more she'll feel a warm, fuzzy bubble of contentment. It doesn't feel strange, just comfortable and cozy, almost like she's been given a warm hug in cake form.]
[He nods, almost as though he doesn't quite hear it at first. Then it sinks in, the layers of what she's saying, and his head snaps up to look at her.]
... Yeah. ( She's surprised herself, too, looks down at the baked good in her hand and then drops it back down on the plate. ) I miss you. All the time. And, Josie has her life in New Orleans. And I'd miss Alice, but, your life is here. Your life will probably always be here. Why can't mine? I did some research into Oxford.
I would love to have you here. And you're not wrong about my life.
[He lets that stand on it's own, because he would. He misses her all the time, and while there's enough coven stuff to keep him busy that he has enough distractions, he does miss their first few months of being together, spending their time in Mystic Falls and New York City.]
Just be sure. It's a much longer, more complicated trip to see your family if you want to.
And I'm a powerful witch who could compel my way onto any flight, my parents have Armory, Malivore and Salvatore money. It's doable. And... I still need to talk to them, and Josie, and Alice, but, they're all going to end the same. I love you and want to be closer to you.
( Whether it's the baked goods or inner confidence she's always had, this needs to be said here and now. )
My people aren't going anywhere. I know this probably feels sudden, but it's been on my mind all semester. And then my mom and Alice and me were attacked... It just makes sense. We should be in the same place. We're stronger together.
[It'll be nice to make new memories there. To clear out the ones of the people he's missing and make it feel a little less empty. A little less alone.]

( She takes a bite, pleasantly surprised with the flavor profile and the texture. )
It doesn't beat chocolate, but, it's up there. Thanks for the recommendation.

Maybe, moving here.

Wait, really?

[Danny is down for that. In fact it's probably the best news he's heard all year.]
If this is what you want, I'm one hundred percent with you. I just don't want you to be miserable because you miss your people. And I love you too.
no subject
( She could probably do good work in the coven. )
I know I basically sprang this on you.
no subject
[He flashes her a grin as he takes another bite of the red velvet.]
So if we can make it work, I'm in. You can probably just move right into my house unless you want to live at Oxford.
no subject
( She grins through it. )
With you in your house.

( Her mental health still has its' moments. )
Wait. You love me. Too.
no subject
[You didn't think that he missed that, did you?]
I'm assuming that's not a problem since you said it first.
[He's mostly teasing her at this point, she is free to give him a look for it.]
no subject
( She takes another healthy bite, finishing off the red velvet. )
This is a really good day.
no subject
Danny grins back at her.]
Good. Is it a quit while we're ahead kind of day, or are we still hitting up your itinerary?
no subject
( Who do you think she is? )
With more gushing and planning. But first. The rest of these desserts. And maybe finding a drink somewhere. Or somewhere private, drink, itinerary.
no subject
[And they will finish off their treats and head out to do just that.]
