THE INN - December 6th

Diana had been surprised when she found a small box on her porch because who would be leaving her a gift. She'd picked it up and eyed it suspiciously and even sniffed at it before she had brought it inside the house. It hadn't smelt like anything explosive.

She set it on the table in the kitchen and studied it for a few moments before she finally opened it up. There was a note right on top and she plucked it out and read it over.

Please enjoy ONLY one portion of this special treat and, if the box isn't yet empty, pass it and this note on to someone else so they can have a treat, too! Be warned: If the box and note are not passed on within 3 DAYS, bad luck will befall you!

Well. Strange. She sighed and set the note off to the side and looked in the box. She gasped and then smiled. Honey cakes! She had always loved honey cakes and she quickly reached inside and drew one out and not even giving it another thought, she took a bite. Her eyes shut and she made an appreciative sound at the back of her throat as she enjoyed her unexpected treat.

It was even better than what she remembered the ones from home tasting like. It was like pure heaven in her mouth.

Before she knew it, the cake was gone and Diana couldn't help but feel disappointed at its lose. She looked down at the box and the other honey cake that was inside and she almost reached in to get it but then remembered the note and dropped her hand back to her side. Last thing she needed was more bad luck in that place. Sighing, she placed the note back in the box, closed it up and then she was heading out and was moving towards the Inn.

It was really taking all her willpower not to open the box and gobble down the other honey cake and she picked up her pace before she could change her mind. She rushed up to the Inn and shoved the door open, all but bursting inside, her gaze automatically moving around as she tried to find someone to give the box to.

((OOC: please only one person gets the honey cake but more are welcome to talk to her after it's been shared.))

HOME December 8th - Steve Trevor

Diana had generally been avoiding being in the house she'd shared with Steve. Perhaps it was cowardly of her, but she was still trying to recover from him not knowing anything about her or their time together. She had been through a lot in her life and she had thought that losing him had been the most painful thing she had ever gone through, but him not remembering had far surpassed that one.

And so every morning she had made sure she was up before dawn and she normally came home well after sunset. Sometimes she'd come home fore a quick lunch, but generally she stayed away and spent her time tramping through the woods, exploring the waterfall or looking through the other village. Sometimes she'd go hunting but she had only done that a few times.

She wasn't sure how she had managed it, but somehow she had avoided running into Steve. Maybe he realized that she needed to be away and have space, or maybe he didn't even realize she wasn't there. She didn't know and she really tried to not think about it so it wouldn't end up bothering her even more.

That evening though when she came home with a wild turkey, there was light downstairs and she exhaled as she tied the turkey up so she could deal with it the next day. She hesitated at the front door and then after a moment, she pushed the front door open and stepped inside the warmth of the house. She shrugged off her coat as she moved deeper into the house. ""Hello?"
