[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...

[laestrella]

Yes! It was the plan to make the Elders cough for my Father and I found them incredibly irksome.

[oh. wait]

...hm, it is must be that it is too much after all?

[aspirings]

[Solemnly:]

... It is quite a lot of cinnamon.

I think, perhaps, we can cut it down a little bit for everyone else.

[laestrella]

Verily, thou speakest wisely!

[ She will remember this only momentarily before muscle memory takes over. Sorry Fandaniel. But at least Aerith got the nice cookies]

[aspirings]

[AT LEAST AERITH GOT THE NICE COOKIES... and so, they bake cookies together.

It is undoubtedly a good, wholesome time still filled with more cinnamon than Tsukasa would have wanted.

At least they got this wholesome before your betrayal--]
