RotLC 014: Baking

Author’s Note: N/A

Disclaimer: Eira, her family, and all associated characters are mine but they are playing the sandbox created by the comic Hurrocks Fardel, now available on WebToons (it’s catching up to where we were, old pages are being redone so it is a consistent look). Whether any of this ends up canon depends entirely on the artist, but I’ll try to be consistent with what information they have provided. ^_^

Eira woke up to the smell of yeast and crust. Baking? But it wasn’t baking day… Though this was more sensible than in the middle of the day like Mama usually did. Sitting up, she yawned and padded her way to the kitchen to see what was going on.

What she found was not what she expected. “Auntie?”

Oline turned around. “Morning, snowflake. Do you want a slice of bread with breakfast?”

“Yes, please, but… Why is there fresh bread?”

Her aunt scowled at the hearth where it looked like every pot in use. “Stress baking is my bad habit.”
