Soph is more about the cosmetic features, which makes them a fine team. She makes tiny candy cameras and tucks them into corners.

"That is the most adorable thing I've ever seen," Tony declares when he realizes what she's doing.

Soph giggles. "Well, why not, right?"

"Totally! Think the ground floor's ready for a ceiling yet?"

"Yeah, go for it," she grins.

Soph busies herself with more candy cameras and wee gingerbread furniture. "You up to anything lately?"

"Nah, not much. You?"

"I met Bella's weird gardener minions! They're friendly. One of them gave me a flower."

"Awww, that's adorable," says Tony. "Was it a nice flower?"

"It was some kinda demon flower. It was big and yellow and it smelled like lemon curd and it looked awesome in my hair."

"That is maybe even cuter than you turning our gingerbread house into Gingerbread Jarvis."

"I think," says Soph, "that every time you see a cute thing your potential to appreciate cute things grows, so that every cute thing you see can be the cutest thing you have ever seen."

"Is that a general philosophical statement, or specifically about me and how everything I see is apparently the cutest thing?"

"Specifically you," giggles Soph.

"That is probably true," says Tony. "Or maybe you just have some kind of cuteness multiplying effect."

"That is also possible!"

"It would explain a lot!"

"Also, it would be a fair way to make up for my supposed magic immunity being fictional." She makes a little gingerbread bed and starts weaving a quilt out of bubblegum strips.

"Is that a gingerbread bed? A gingerbed," he giggles.

"Gingerbed!" giggles Soph gleefully.

Soph looks at him and laughs helplessly.

"What?"
