[ it's valentine's day, so why wouldn't she leave something for her master? leaving a large elaborately wrapped box on the doorstep, he'll find various little cakes, cookies and chocolates for the holiday.
this is just her way of making sure he's well taken care of afterall.
there's a smaller box addressed to cassim, inside that one are some gourmet cake donuts. she didn't make them though, she thought it was good enough just to buy him some. ]
[yeah RING RING CHARLOTTE pick up your phone before he takes to just walking over to your place...!
he doesn't want to awkwardly stand here and watch cassim shove donuts in his mouth so he shoots out the back door, waiting for her to pick up. he forgot to mention ion ah, but he can just get ion something extra to make up for it right...]
[maybe he will come out and find her then, how would she like that huh--]
Charlotte, [his tone reads honestly] thank you for this...
[at least he has the decency to not pop anything in his mouth on the phone (always has that decency, he's saving charlotte any ear grating noise that might come with cassim), and despite not liking sweets he's going to eat every gosh darn thing. ...that's his, anyway, cassim's already going at those donuts.]
You're more than welcome, I just figured since this is the type of holiday to show your appreciation of others... That is. I hope it isn't too much, I don't remember you being too big on sweets.
Though, the other man in your house seems like the type to like them a great deal.
Ah... about that... Cassim said 'thank you' as well. He's already starting to eat them as we speak.
[he is not even joking, cassim is just chowing down. if oswald weren't so glad he was starting to fill out, he'd be vaguely worried about him getting sick from eating so many donuts. but!! no more malnutrition, no more worry and stress for oswald regarding that. charlotte's helping him more than she thinks.]
–and I'll eat every piece, regardless. [it'd be such a shame to let it all go to waste. SWEETS ARE BETTER THAN GRAPE TOMATOES they don't go squish and squirt juice everywhere, uck.]
[ he's p.much lumped in the same category as her husband tbh ]
I'm glad he could take such comfort in them [ she honestly didn't doubt he'd let them sit around for long. but once oswald continues, she can't help but grow a little red ]
I--you don't really have to go so far... [ wlkejse what even is he saying??? but it's okay! she would never try to sneak grape tomatoes into his stuff, that would just be so awful ]
[makes you wonder why they get stuck with husbands who would rather be married to sweets.]
Of course... he's become rather partial to donuts since he's arrived. [and by 'partial', oswald means that he's hooked. and gosh, it's almost like he can feel the embarrassment through the phone--
which immediately prompts him to be very ??? at first, but then:] It would be a shame not to eat it all after you've gone to such trouble bringing it to me...
[ maybe it's a baskerville thing. get paired off with spouse infatuated with sweets ]
It was no trouble at all--really it wasn't... I just wanted to do something nice for you this holiday. [ nevermind that her assigned husband had that freak out of jealousy over him ]
I've learned that it's only customary to give gifts to those you appreciate on this day.
I see... [elliot, calm down...! these sweets are his sweets (maybe if elliot asks nicely he'll share— unfortunately he'll less inclined to share charlotte, gomen). but, hmmm. now that she's gone and done this, he feels like he has to repay her somehow. he's a solid cook and he can bake anything that has an ingredient list with a how-to on it, but...]
...in that case, would you let me take you out somewhere as a thank you?

Date: 2014-03-07 05:27 am (UTC)but it's okay oswald, you don't have to share your sweets with elliot-- he gets way more than enough on a regular basis.
but oh wait--wait! an outing...! she may have been a little too surprised by this]
I! That is... It would be my pleasure-- [ she had to stop herself there, she would've said something very embarrassing ]
