It's the kind of hug that Raleigh gives, too, so it all works out in the end. "Of course! I'm really glad you came." She beams - she's been smiley all night long, because it's one thing to put together a bakery, it's yet another to mass-text a bunch of people three hours before you want to throw a party and actually have people show up. And show up, they did-- it's pretty much making Raleigh's day.

"Well, there's cider, and cookies, and gingerbread - I don't know if I made it right, though - and uh. Most of the pastries are gone, but whatever. You see it, you've got it." Right now, it's a party - nothing's being sold, it's just there so people can eat their fill.

She nods over to the table that's got gifts - and a ton of boxes of cookies, too. "This sounds weird, but I got you something for Christmas? If you want to do that, once you grab food?" It's just a thing - this is the first year she's been able to get gifts for her friends, so she actually... y'know. Did.
