Kalon Name: Nico
Story about their favourite dessert (300 word limit):

Vanilla bean ice cream in a waffle bowl topped with honeycomb had to be Nico's favourite dessert he'd ever tried. Skeptical at first about how eating an actual honeycomb would taste, Nico had been rather reluctant to try the dessert the first time he'd seen it.

His first taste of this dessert was at a wedding, the caterer bringing out the golden treat on a cart. Small plates were handed to guests, the soft ice cream having a slight sheen of slightly melted deliciousness. Nico couldn't help but feel he'd landed in Eden upon his first bite, the sweet taste like ambrosia on his tongue.

Kalon Name: Calanthe

Story about their favourite dessert (300 word limit): Calle sighed in satisfaction as she
stared down at the counter, now littered with dozens of pansies of various colors. She'd spent
the morning in her garden choosing the prettiest ones, enjoying the smell of the fresh spring
air and the earthiness of the dirt as she knelt to examine the flowers. It was always a
bittersweet affair, picking plants to use in her cooking and baking. They were sprouts that
she'd carefully raised from seed, after all.

Humming as she gently brushed the flowers aside, Calanthe gathered the rest of the ingredients
for her baking, including the mint that she'd also picked from her garden. The mint had grown
especially well this year, sprouting with a vigor that had made her smile. As she measured out
the flour and sugar Calanthe thought about her plants. She prized herself in growing only plants
that were edible, from fruits and vegetables to herbs and flowers. Though there was always a bit
of sadness when she had to pick her produce to eat, there was also a sense of pride.This was
something she'd done, grown by her own hand, and now her home-grown food would nourish
her and provide her joy.

Calanthe had already rolled out her cookies while she'd been lost in thought. The cookie cutter
followed next, punching out clean circles of soft dough. The pansies were placed on top, their
colorful petals splayed out beautifully on the pale cookies. Calanthe smiled as she slid the tray
into the oven, humming to herself as she watched the timer tick down. This was the type of
simple joy that she loved. Fresh-baked cookies made with her own plants, the smells of spring
drifting through the open window, and soft birdsong that made her heart flutter. The best time of
the year.

Kalon Name: Servaih

Story about their favourite dessert:

The cold night slunk through the encampment like a devilish serpent, striking every inch of exposed skin, slithering up through tattered blankets, and drawn back only by the dim, crackling flames. Servaih clutched the frayed edges of her hooded cloak with wrapped hands, nestled close to the others as they clung to the fire to fend off the bitter cold. This place was so different from her homeland, this pack of weary refugees so unlike any family she'd known. So many hours spent in silence left an empty space somewhere inside. But if she closed her eyes, drew back from the cold and let the fire fill her senses, other memories began to flow in.

Crackling flames muffled by a large, heating kettle, steam rising up to hit a bowl balanced atop - the irresistible scent of melted chocolate filling the castle's kitchen. Her little hands daring to snatch a silver spoon, engraved with her family's crest, as she snuck another dip. Perhaps it was to be used for coating biscuits, or cakes, or even cast into little flower-shaped molds, but to the young princess, it didn't much matter. The rich warmth of liquid bitter chocolate filling her mouth, sticking to her tongue and her throat on the way down, the memory overcame her with an intense longing. She opened her eyes again, and the bright hearth vanished into the frigid night.

"Coffee," the man beside her hefted the pot again, a faint trail of steam rising as Servaih nodded, lifting her rusting mug and accepting the humble gift. As the burnt warmth hit her tongue, she felt a stirring in her soul, a longing to return to a place that no longer existed, for the days when bitter chocolate was the only bitterness she knew.

Story about their favourite dessert (300 word limit):

Helena loves fruit tarts!
Ever since she was little, she was making these sweet treats. She picked the fruits from the trees and their plants themselves, there is no better way to get the freshest pick after all. She follows relatively the same recipe, or at least the same procedure. She often makes the tarts corresponding to the season or related to a holiday that's going on!

Making these tarts is an art. The way she moves in the kitchen is unforgettable, she's like a baking goddess. She sources only the freshest ingredients. She cuts the fruits oh so precisely, and makes sure her measurements for the dough are spot-on. She bakes the tart to perfection, sprinkling on her secret mix of spices to create the taste that can only be described as "home".

Every tart is a little bit different, and they even vary depending on who she's baking for! For a stranger? She'd use her ingredients to make a happy and lighthearted tart, to convey the feeling of friendliness. For a loved one? She'd craft a tart that expressed true feeling, leaving the person eating the tart in awe. She has never once disappointed someone with her baking, and intends for it to stay that way as long as she lives.
