Having Your Cake [Candice, Ehefra, Giselle]

Slowly but surely, the gears started turning again. There was an almost audible whir as Candice rebooted, processing everything that was going on around her in a sudden burst of clarity. See, they were just doing a bit. The reassurance had the desired effect, as her lungs had felt like they were about to burst if she didn't start hyperventilating and then suddenly things were calm.

"Hey, I didn't say she looked bad. I just... Well. We're on vacation so it's not like we were going to dress in our loungewear, that would have raised suspicion. But I couldn't exactly think of a way to convey that to Heff."

She started by trying to reassure Gigi, acting quite genuinely remorseful for her deception but also showing that she put a little effort into it. Then, just like that, Ehefra was on top of her and Candi was looping an arm around her waist to keep her nice and close. Her partner in crime was not going to get off so lightly for scaring her like that, as she kissed back with all that vigour she had previously thought lost.

"Mmm~ I missed you. Even if you were pulling the wool over my eyes the whole time too." She leant in, pressing her forehead against that of the other woman, "We really ain't the type to judge if you want to keep this look, I'm just glad you're here. And we're here. Together."

"As for the plan, I was just gonna wing it and see where we ended up, but now that we don't have to do some really cringe icebreakers I'll just say get comfy and we can worry about the details later. Okay? Either of ya want anything to drink, we should have like a fully stocked bar."

Candi did remember Gigi being very interested in how she met Ehefra back in the day when there had still been the idea that this was just a one-time fling, and she hadn't told her about the whole debacle on the flight back. That was before she had even told Giselle about her fear of planes in general, so that might not have gone down so well. Connecting those dots would surely only serve to strengthen her case, really, as how could Candice have possibly known that a girl working in a maid cafe was also a bigwig Vandenreich operative that worked alongside her?

"Hey you~" There was a moment where it seemed like Giselle might slip past the pair of them without even a light peck, so Candice was quick to exclaim and be rewarded with an intimate kiss of her own and one that she returned just as eagerly. This was working. Her hand snaked after Gigi as she snuck away from her, giving her lower back a playful scratch just to let her know that she was definitely being heard. "I'll order us up a nice spread, Z, don't you worry."

Then, once more, she was all up in Ehefra's personal space. Her jacket was nice and all, but they were in for the night now so it simply wouldn't do for her to keep it on, so her arms wrapped around the woman's collar as she made to slowly peel that outer layer off. There was definitely a little disparity in how she acted around Giselle compared to Ehefra, but they were different people too. So if she was a bit more motherly and demanding with Ehefra then that did not mean she would not enjoy being pampered by Giselle in turn.

"Oh, hey, well let's call this a little celebration then! Ya know I love to spoil you so you're in for a treat tonight, good food and good company. I was kinda worried about how you and Giselle were gonna get on, new people meeting etcetera etcetera, so I'm relieved that you guys are already on the level." Peeling off Ehefra, though only once that coat was in her hands, and sidled over to the counter to find the number for room service. "What's your favourite food? We can get anything ya want here, or just most things?"

Candi did make a little mental note that Giselle was heading a little further into the suite than she had expected, but she certainly had no intention of darting off to stop her or anything. That just gave her and Ehefra a little more space, and she was certainly enjoying how accessible the woman was now that she was bereft of her jacket. Hanging it up on one of the pegs by the door, alongside several of her own jackets that ranged from plain denim to big and fluffy, an eyebrow cocked up as she caught sight of Beeps peeping out and patted the cube in a similar manner as one might a pet. Whispering a greeting that might still be heard but was still directed squarely into the coat.

"There you are, ya little perv. No peeping tonight."

As they got seated and she listened to Ehefra outlining her ideal culinary choices, Candi did have to chuckle politely to herself. She was Swiss, not Italian, but it was sweet that her partner was putting in the effort to seem endearing to her. Those kinda things were always cute, even if a little misplaced.

"I had been meaning to tell her right away but something kept coming up, then suddenly we're here and it's happening and you're at the door and there's no time left. Look, all that matters really is that we enjoy ourselves. I figured it would be a good way for all of us to just let our hair down for a night..." She paused, a hand reaching across to caress the side of Ehefra's cheek and slowly drag her gaze away from the room and back to her. "I know you've been going through a lot lately, and I'm not always here to take your mind off stuff."

Booping Heff on the nose, her errant hand then departed her cheek and headed down to land quite firmly on the woman's thigh. All her usual aggressive charm was quickly returning when they had a minute to themselves, even Candi was quick to note that, so it would be an interesting night for sure.

Picking up the phone, she punched in the numbers for the kitchen and waited for the clerk to answer, her eyes hardly leaving Ehefra's own as she squeezed the woman's inner leg playfully. A one-sided conversation soon began as she worked through the process of ordering their little feast, a couple of pizzas and a selection of bougie appetizers that would fit the bill for what both of her girls had asked for.
