It's a lovely afternoon in August with the plague situation safely behind the town when Mairi knocks at Max's door. She's got a bundle in her arms--- a small but heavy canvas sack. Catching herself bouncing on her toes a bit, she feels childish for being so excited, but she's always really loved giving gifts.
"I'm surprised you didn't guess!" She grins back, presenting the bag. "I made friends with the miller during the plague, and wouldn't you guess it, by the time I got back to my farm, the almonds had finished coming in."
His eyes go wide with shocked delight. "Almond flour!" He reaches forward, past the bag she's offering him, to pull her into a hug. "Thank you! This is... I don't know how to thank you enough!"
Mairi laughs and holds it aside to hug him. "Hey, no worries! Just sticking to my word. Althouuuugh, I could think of a few ways you could thank me, if you felt so inclined," she jokes, her tone turning flirty at the end. She's mostly teasing, but...
He draws back enough to be able to look her in the face while giving her a sly smile. "Oh yeah?" he asks back, just as flirty. Don't threaten him with a good time~

"Hi, Mairi, come on in! What's that in your arms? It looks heavy."
