[You have been spotted!]

Want a waffle or two?

Or six?

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

Waffles...?

I-- sure?

...You, um... made them yourself? [Because it's either that or she got into a fight with a waffle monster, and Naminé's pretty sure she's never heard of such a thing existing (not that that means it doesn't).]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! Made with my blood, sweat, and tears.

--Metaphorically speaking. The waffles are actually made of flower and eggs and stuff.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[--Good, because she was about to ask. Those things did not sound like they would help the waffles' taste much.]

There are so many...!

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

I tried to make enough for everyone.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

That was very kind of you to do. ...But, why did you do it on your own? It looks like it was a lot of work. [Truthfully, she could kind of understand wanting to do things on one's own, but... still, that was a lot of work, and Naminé couldn't help feeling bad for her.]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Nah, it was fun, and it kept me busy. Which was nice.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay, then. [She smiles, obviously relieved.]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Do you like to cook?

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

I've... never tried.

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Do you want to? Try, that is.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

I--.... [She considers this for a moment.] ...Yes, I think so.

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

I can teach you how to make waffles, if you want.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

A-- are you sure?

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

That I am!

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

...Alright. Then, I'd like to learn. [Here, have a cautious but genuine smile.]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I can teach you now, or later.

I have waaaaay too much free time here.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to do it now, if you want.

Me too. I think everyone does.

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Okay! Step One: Get your ingredients!

You will need: two cups of flour, three teaspoons of baking powder, one tablespoon of sugar, one half a teaspoon of salt, three eggs, and one half a cup of milk.

This'll be enough to make five or six waffles.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

O-okay. [...Aaaand she's not exactly certain where to start looking. C-can she just use hers--]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

[She gestures to her pile of ingredients]

I've already got stuff ready, so congrats! Step One: Done and done.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Judging by that smile and tiny laugh, she's kind of relieved.]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

Heh, now for the harder stuff.

[She grabs a bowl]

We must add the ingredients to this bowl.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[She eyes the bowl carefully.] ...All at the same time?

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

If you're feeling really adventurous? Sure.

Me, I prefer to take it slow. One at a time.

[She cracks an egg] The key is to avoid getting the shell in the bowl. All we want is the yoke.
