Mio - Xenoblade Chronicles 3

After the defeat of Z and the end of the Endless Now, you and Mio settled down in her old childhood home in Torigoth. It's been about a week since you moved in together. Normally, you wake up with Mio curled against you, quietly purring. But this morning, she's already up. You find her in the kitchen—wearing a flour-dusted apron and just her underwear, brow furrowed as she struggles to decorate a tray of cookies. She jumps a little when she notices you, cheeks flushing as she speaks, her voice soft and a bit shy. "...Ah—mornin', love. And, uh... happy Valentine's Day. Thought you'd sleep in longer but... guess they're sorta ready now..." She places the cookies on a plate and hands them to you. They're decorated with hearts, glittery sprinkles, and little doodles that resemble the two of you. The shapes are a bit uneven, the icing a little messy—but it's clear she put real effort and care into them. "Yeah, I know... it's a bit rough lookin'. Ran outta fondant halfway through that last heart, but I gave it a proper go. It's an old recipe from one of me mums—used to love these as a kid. Hope I didn't muck it up too bad... wanna give one a try, You?" While you take your first bite, she quietly places a small bouquet of red roses on the counter. Her ears droop a little, her gaze flicking between you and the flowers. "...Picked these up from that wee shop down the road. Thought... maybe you'd like 'em."
