Cheesecake was currently discussing the philosophical implication of allowing children to eat ice cream before dinner, which sounded like bird chirps to the untrained ear. Meanwhile Riley came over with a pen and pad.
"What can I get ya?"

Roy turned away from the strangely adorable conversation to the owner of the shop, smiling politely. What could those two possibly be talking about? Hopefully it wasn't mischief.
"Hi! Do you have hot chocolate, by any chance? And also, could I get a toasted sandwich?"
His mouth watered at the prospect of hot chocolate. Smiling at the owner, he added:
"Is this place new? I haven't seen it before."

"Hot chocolate and a toasted sandwhich, we can do that. And yeah, we just opened up about a month ago. It took me forever to raise enough money, especially with Cheesecake there spending it on food."
He gestured to the fairy, but it was obvious by the sound of his voice he was mostly teasing her.

"Cheesecake? Is that her name?"
Roy looked over at the fairy again. Cheesecake seemed like such an unusual name, but fairies were unusual beings. Surely someone named Cheesecake couldn't possibly steal children, could she? Come to think of it, he'd never actually known anyone who'd had a child stolen by fairies. Still, Roxanne had always warned him to stay away from them.
"Is she your...friend? Business partner?"
She seemed so harmless...but all fairies seemed harmless at first. That's what Roxanne had always told him.

"Friend, companion, what have you. I've been with her for about two years now. Easily the best friend I've ever had, and knowing my history I don't say that lightly."

Roy nodded. That was good, at least. It sounded as though this "Cheesecake" wasn't a baby-stealer after all. Unless, of course, this man was also a baby-stealer. That wouldn't be good.
"That's good to hear. My cousin always used to warn me about fairies. She told me they stole babies and caused trouble. Cheesecake isn't like that, is she?"

"Thankfully, no, she's one of the Seelie fey. Her classification is technically Second-World Human-blood Sprite, which is one of the least threatening members of the species. The worst she does is braid your hair when she's bored."
He pointed to his head to show what looked like tiny knots on the top of his red hair.
"Though your cousin's not wrong. Fey are malicious when provoked, but not for the reasons you think. They only seem malicious to us because their morality is literally alien to us. To them, stealing children and burning down barnhouses is no worse than eating dinner."

Roy nodded. He didn't mind having his hair braided, he supposed. It had happened enough when he was smaller, as a consequence of living with a large number of female relatives.
"That's not too bad, I guess. I've never met any fairies before...I hope I don't run into any troublesome ones. Are you new in town, or have you lived here for a while? I don't live here, but I'm staying with my uncle Renalt. Have you met him? He owns the chocolate shop, Fletcher's Delectables."

He raised an eyebrow.
"That...sounds familiar to a bakery I used to own called Fetching Confections....sorry, you said your last name is Fletcher?"

Roy nodded. The shopkeeper must have met one of his relatives before, if he knew the name.
"Oh yes. I'm Roy Fletcher, and my uncle's name is Renalt Fletcher. Have you met one of my relatives before? There's a lot of us, and we all have white hair and names starting with R. I have a pretty big family. Lots of uncles and aunts and cousins, and they're all over the place. Do you know my cousin Roxanne? She's pretty nice."

"Another Fletcher? Classic!"
He laughed a little and shook his head. Small world, apparently.
"Never heard of you but from the sounds of it I'd fit right in. Riley Fletcher, at your service."
He held out a hand to shake.

"Riley...Fletcher?"
Roy was shocked. The man had his last name, and his name started with an R...but he had red hair. That wasn't right. How could this be possible? There weren't any other Fletchers that he wasn't related to...or so he'd thought. Roxanne and Gran had never mentioned the possibility of other families named Fletcher. He'd never even considered that they could exist! He took Riley's hand, shaking it hesitantly.
"Er...nice to meet you, Riley. We're not related...but we have the same last name? That's so weird..."

He shrugged.
"Small world, I suppose. Who knows, maybe we're distant cousins or something. My father was supposed to be quite the charmer in his younger years."

Roy nodded, still unsure.
"Yeah, I suppose...but all my relatives have white hair. I dunno. Just a coincidence, I guess..."
His head was spinning. What would Gran say, if she knew that other Fletchers existed? What would Roxanne say if she found out that the other Fletcher had red hair? Did all of Riley's family have red hair? Roy didn't know, but it worried him for some reason.

"Anyway, let me get you that order."
Riley called back to Cheesecake, who stood up and saluted him before flying into the back to begin the order.
"So what do you do for a living, Roy?"

Roy watched Cheesecake go. He'd never had fairy-cooked food before. What could it possibly taste like?
"Me? Oh, I'm a student...and I do odd jobs for my uncle. Mostly errands and stuff. Running off to find candy ingredients, for the most part. He sends me to the strangest places, like the tops of mountains or into Sakand. It's kind of nice, I guess, although I always seem to run into trouble. One time I got kidnapped by a dragon when I was looking for cherries for him."

Roy would notice Cheesecake grabbing a large bowl of what appeared to be cabbage and green jelly beans (he hopes) and haphazardly dunking it into a large boiling pot. Black smoke plumed upwards from it as she grabbed a ladle far too large for her and began to stir vigorously.
"Reminds me of my time with Cheesecake a while ago. We used to travel around and get into all sort of trouble. It was fun but I think I've retired from the adventuring gig."

Roy watched Cheesecake cook, somewhat worried. What was she making? Surely that couldn't be hot chocolate and a toasted sandwich...unless she was just a very poor cook. Perhaps she would turn it into something else with fairy magic.
"Oh, that's probably good. I'm not an adventurer. I tried it, but it was too scary. I don't go on adventures, but they just seem to come to me for some reason. It's very strange."
He glanced over at the fairy again. What could she possibly be making?

Cheesecake began to pour the horrible liquid into a cup. It was swirling green and filth yellow and radiated dark green mist. After it was finished she grabbed a skillet and tossed what appeared to be cottonballs and candy pieces from a nearby bucket in before throwing it onto the stove. She looked over her process with pride.
"Yeah, I'm sort of the same way. I didn't even want adventure and I managed to get caught up in it all the time. Probably why I moved here."

As the fairy cooked, Roy became more and more alarmed. That couldn't possibly his hot chocolate, could it? What had she even put in there? He was certain he'd seen her drop a number of awful things into that pot. Distracted, he turned back to Riley.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, funny how that turns out...say, what is that your friend there is making? Is it some sort of fairy stew? It looked like cabbages, beans, and...fluff..."
