He watched the young baker go to get the first part of his order. She was the one that created the delight he had just tasted. He was pleased to know she heard the compliment straight from him, and it would have been better if he knew it was her doing before hand. In future, he would ask if what he was getting was her creation or someone else's. Of course, on being handed the cupcakes, his beliefs here conformed.<br/><br/><em>"Here you are Sir, and I will take your compliments to heart. I made them when I got here this morning, the recipe just came to me, as many of them do."</em><br/><br/>"These are yours? Thought of just this morning? You, my dear, are a talented baker, indeed a natural. Many people here must be grateful that you decided to remain here, myself included. Also, forgive me, my name is Sebastian."<br/><br/>She had a smile that made her look prettier than she did with her base expression. He liked her easy going nature and the ease which she dealt with him. The way she looked at him while they talked got him thinking about what she thought of him, which in turn he felt was an unusual thought for him to have. He was not looking at dating the young woman, and frankly, he thought she would not really be interested in dating someone who would be a least a good decade older than her.<br/><br/><em>"Since you already have sweet and sour, might I suggest a mini cake? Blueberry and Lime. It's not the same as the cupcakes, that much I can promise, for the taste of lemons and limes while similar are can be brought out different in baking.."</em><br/><br/>Sebastian had a good natured laugh. "Well, my forebears know all to well about limes, since our naval men are still called 'limeys' because of the eating of them in the days of wooden ships. Yes, lemon and lime mix well in a lot of different recipes, as well as with other citrus fruits, particularly in drinks. But I shall give that a miss today, though I have added it to a long list of future purchases. What I have decided to get is a loaf of the cinnamon raisin bread. One of the little treats I allow myself for morning or afternoon tea at work."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment, looking back at the pastor to make sure they the man wasn't being disturbed by the conversation. Sebastian felt a little more relaxed seeing the pastor still intently reading and jotting down notes.<br/><br/>"Did you apprentice to the local baker? I'm certain that anyone who taught you would have gone to great lengths to keep you in their employ, given just this small sample of your work."
