[a...aaah....]

R... right! If... if you insist, I'll g... gladly have another!

[laestrella]

[TAKE THEM ALL. Placing the plate in Tsukasa's hand]

Verily? I must make haste and make some more then.

[someone stop her]

[aspirings]

Oh! Ohhhh!

[UHHHH.

UMMM.]

Why... don't we make the next batch together? As a... bonding exercise!

[laestrella]

[!!!]

An idea most ingenious! Yes. Let us!

[Tsukasa no.]

[aspirings]

[he's trying so hard.]

It... would be a lot of fun! Allow me to, er, help measure out the ingredients especially!

[laestrella]

Hm? Tis that not the most burdensome aspect of cooking?

[aspirings]

Perhaps! But I am happy to lend my assistance in any aspect of the task, burdensome or not!

[please let him handle the cinnamon.]

[laestrella]

Verily, if thou insists.

[That's okay. She likes the muscle-y work anyway]

[aspirings]

[oh thank god]

Excellent. Our batch of cookies will be even more awe-inspiring than the first. After all, now you have my assistance!

[laestrella]

[She's very pliable where it's important (for Tsukasa's health)]

Verily! There is nothing that shall not be overcome without the assistance of Master Chef, Tsukasa!

[aspirings]

Verily!

[Because he likes how it sounded, so he's going to copy it.]

You can count on me! Now then, allow me to fetch the flour and other top shelf ingredients so we don't have a repeat of the earlier mess.

[Not that he's that tall but. Don Quixote...]

[laestrella]

[Tears in her eyes]

Indeed, my lack of vertical placement in the world has thwarted me once more. Prithee, Tsukasa, do as thou must.

[aspirings]

[L-lack of vertical placement...]

Of course! It is my pleasure to assist, I assure you! What you may... lack in terms of vertical placement, you more than make up for in spirit, regardless!

[laestrella]

[Blinding smile!! Yes, Tsukasa understands because he is the best of all eggs!! Wonderful]

Forsooth, you understand well. Now, once the ingredients are gathered, I shall cream the butter!

[aspirings]

Excellent! Then while you do that, I will measure out the remainder of the ingredients.

[And turn the oven back on, probably.]

So, Don Quixote!! Do you often enjoy baking?

[Is it always so..........cinammon-y]

[laestrella]

'Tis not in mine nature...but I am aware of the basics!

[Yes]

As long as it is a star shaped, it is cute is it not?

[aspirings]

Well... yes, star-shaped is perfect...

[... but the taste...]

... And is cinnamon your favorite flavor?

[laestrella]

Nay. Chocolate is. But I am used to baking cinnamon cookies when I am called upon to do so.

[Yeah.]

[aspirings]

[....... wh.]

... Then let's make a batch of chocolate cookies!

[laestrella]

[it may have been a deliberate bullying tactic against Elders]

Chocolate? [sparkles] Yes! I am afraid I do not know the recipe for such though. Shall I replace the cinnamon with it?

[aspirings]

Ah. No. Let's not do that.

[AHEM.]

Never fear, Don Quixote! I happen to know the Tenma family recipe! There is no way you could be disappointed by our excellent chocolate cookies!

[laestrella]

Ohooooh? [Sparkles!] Let us make both, cinnamon and chocolate!

[Ambitions intensify!!!]

For the cinnamon cookies were also a Manchegan specialty!

[designed for dubious purposes but Tsukasa can probably tame that]

[aspirings]

Very well then! Why do anything by halves!

[when you can do things by DOUBLE instead.]

Tell me about the Manchegan recipe! [And he will remove most of the cinnamon--]

[laestrella]

Ah, I first learned it when mine Family received a number of visits from Elders of other clans. Father was careful to tell me what they preferred.

[ Chatting as they mix]

Two tablespoons of cinnamon were always the start.

[aspirings]

T-two--?!

[HELP. His voice has jumped an octave.]

I... I see! No... no wonder they were... so very cinnamon-y...
