"Ugh. Again," Aine groaned, making a face as she sampled the chocolates she'd made. They were edible, but only just. There was no way she could give these to anyone. Stupid holiday, stupid chocolate. It was her third failed attempt and she was getting pretty frustrated. Sure, she could just buy them, but they really lost their emotional weight that way. Because someone had the bright idea that proper Valentine's Day chocolates should be homemade.
"I guess these'll have to go in the trash too," she muttered. If she wasn't so proud, she could have just asked for help, but... Well, it is Aine, after all.

She closed her big blue eyes, that reminded everyone of a doll's or a big baby deer's, and whiffed the wafting air coming from the kitchen. Mmm... cocoa powder. Well, that time of year was here, Valentine's Day. As was tradition, the mansion made chocolates to give to people they loved or considered to be a friend. For Hanon, that would mean that she'd need to make a butt load of chocolates. As she pulled on her side ponytail and straightened out her apron, she skipped into the kitchen to see a particularly grumpy Aine standing in front of a bunch of chocolates. "Konichiwa, Aine!" The maid hugged the redhead as she sampled the remaining chocolates on the table. "Mmm, these are pretty good," she mumbled as she stuffed her face with the candy.

Mone, also intent on working in the kitchen, was a bit alarmed at the scent coming from the kitchen, but kept her usual enigmatic smile on as she stepped into the kitchen. Seeing both Aine and Hamon-Hanon, she mentally corrected herself, as the story from last night influenced her memory- made her realize that they too were indulging in this day. "Both of you are hard at work as usual, yan!"
Mone approached both of them, ready to hug both of them tightly if need be. "Do you mind if I start on my chocolates, Aine-chan, Hamon-chan? Or can I help you guys out?"

Aine squeaked in surprise as her friend hugged her before giving Hanon a few pats on the back in return. "Hi, Hanon." She noticed that the other girl had eaten some of her failed chocolates. "H-hey! Those... don't eat that!" The redhead panicked a bit. While she was planning to give Hanon some chocolate, she didn't think those were good enough to eat.
At Mone's arrival, Aine sighed. "You can go ahead. I'll clean up the mess I made with this, so don't worry about it and work on your chocolates."

"Shorry..." the maid mumbled with her mouth stuffed full of the rejected candies and popped more of the chocolates into her brown-stained lips, "nom... I-nom- they're just so- nom nom nom- GOOD. -nom- Aine-sama..." Hanon smiled, exposing bits of hazelnuts and other cremes and nougats the chocolate covered in its rich taste. How in the world could Aine-chan think that her chocolates weren't worthy enough to eat? Chocolate was chocolate, right? The lusciousness of the chocolate was so good that she finally noticed her good friend and big sister figure Mone-chan enter and begin her chocolates. Hanon waved excitedly as she swallowed the rest of the chocolates.

Hanon enjoying Aine's chocolates was quite an adorable sight, and Mone kept her smile on. "Is that so, Aine-chan? I'll help you clean up, then, since I don't want anybody to get scolded for the kitchen," she offered as she picked up a couple of utensils with chocolate on them. "It's the very least I could do for my juniors, yan." Awww, she always found it adorable how Aine wasn't honest with her feelings, in that-what was the word she had heard Lady Eli use? oh, right-tsundora way. "Plus, it means I get to spend time with you two, and since I'm gonna make some for both of you, it'd be a lot easier if we were in the same room."
She picked up a sponge from the sink. "Hanon-chan, you would put the sister of Gluttony to shame with how much you're loving those chocolates, but that's not a bad thing."

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Aine scolded Hanon with no real harshness to her voice. "But... really? They taste all right?" She didn't think they were good enough for presents, but if Hanon, one of the people they were meant to be for, liked them, than maybe they were all right after all.
"Oh. All right. Thanks then, Mone-san." The cleanup would go faster with Mone helping out, so she was grateful for it. She laughed at the comparison of Hanon to Gluttony. "I'm sure if they ever met, they'd have plenty to talk about." Well, these bowls, utensils and leftover ingredients weren't going to clean themselves. Aine started gathering up the dishware.

"Uh-huh," Hanon reassured her fellow maid friend, putting her elbow around her neck, "these are practically fit for the witches themselves!" The maid popped some more of Aine's chocolates into her mouth. Mone was right as she was practically the Stake of Gluttony in human form; she did look like Beelzebub, well, at least when the rest of the sisters decided to join Lucifer outside of their orders. "Oh! And, Mone-chan? Can I help clean up too? I wouldn't want any of us to be scolded. Amane scared her for a little bit; it was almost as if she was one of the witches themselves.

"I'm totally unopposed to your help, Hanon-chan. The more, the merrier, yan!" Mone started scrubbing some of the dishes, pleased that the two were smiling again. "And if something bad occurs, I'll take care of it. You two should enjoy this day as much as you can."
A thought of Chieri flashed in her head, and it left her giddy. "Anybody you two are giving candy to in particular, yan?"

"Well, if you really do like them," Aine said quietly, trying to fight back a pleased smile, "you can have these ones if you want them. These can count as your Valentine's Day chocolates then." That was wrong. She had meant to present Hanon properly finished and wrapped chocolates and thank her for being such a good friend, but her embarrassment won out yet again.
"Ah, n-no one in particular really," she lied to Mone's question, adverting her eyes as she picked up the dish rag to dry anything the older girl finished washing. "Though, I guess you'll be making some for Chieri-sama, right?"

Yune wandered in himself, taking a look upon the mess that had been made of the kitchen due to the making of chocolates. "What in the devil has gone on here? You guys can't keep a mess contained can you?"
He huffed, attempting to clean up a bit, as he grumbled. "You all make my job more difficult than it should be. I'm only a butler, not a cleaning furniture."
