Following the previous mission, the agents spend pleasant time in Pixie Hollow.
Harmony's Sweet Shop in Pixie Hollow Online
A flight over the meadows and forests, rivers and ponds of Pixie Hollow made the RC ∞ agents hungry, and soon they found themselves in a bakery under an oak tree, sitting round a table full of fairy delicacies.
"Ugh, what in the blue blazes are you doing with your food?" Fáelán said, cringing at the mess Helena had made of her plate. She served herself a stack of golden brown flatcakes kissed with butter and honey, but quickly drenched them in an unsightly combination of condiments. Raspberry sauce, blueberry syrup, clotted cream, sunflower petal preserves and who knew what else, everything swirled together into unholy colours, which soon overflowed from the plate and ran all over the tablecloth. Helena did not mind the horror her treat had turned into; instead, she dug into it with gusto.
Sheen was slightly more displeased. After a bite of poppy seed scone dressed with just a touch of cream and jam, he said in his ever irritatingly posh accent, "Both of you have appalling table manners; that includes you, Portavius. I can't believe you put two teaspoons of honey into your tea. Two! Only one and a quarter teaspoons of sweetener should be added to a cup of tea, or it will overpower the tea. Not only that, did you just drink tea before eating the food? You must first eat one bite of cake the size of the first phalange of your thumb dressed in two condiments in a 2.1/1 ratio, chew exactly nine times, wait four seconds and a half, then take a sip of tea."
Helena rolled her eyes, while Fáelán said after a moment of stunned silence, "That's not table manners, that's just absurd. Not even the Queen of Hearts had laws that weird. Who taught you that?"
Sheen sipped his fresh grass tea laced with nectar, then replied, "The Harmonious Honeysuckle Pixie Gourmet Society. They're a friendly bunch, and they taught me many things. Without them, I wouldn't have learnt the best way to enjoy several kinds of food, and I wouldn't have had any friends." He then looked down at the scone on his plate, and sighed. "Until…"
But before he could finish his little tale, he stopped and said to his partners, "Finish your food quickly, or it will go stale."
