16-Baking Cookies
Tuesday in the kitchen ...
MEZ:
Cammeo, can I give you a hand?
CAMMEO:
That would be lovely. Have you ever baked cookies before?
MEZ:
Well, no, but I’ve eaten a lot of them.
Is it complicated?
CAMMEO:
It’s quite simple, really. I only came in here to get away from Karanthir.
Then I spotted the chocolate chips and thought why not?
MEZ:
What did he do this time?
CAMMEO:
Well, don't laugh but - I find him to be bit ... unnerving.
MEZ:
Is he annoyng you, more than usual?
CAMMEO:
Oh no, he's just so ... so frightening.
meeeep
CAMMEO:
That's the microwave. The butter must be melted.
Isn't the microwave such a clever invention?
MEZ:
If you say so. The butters melted alright … Cammeo, why do you think he’s frightening?
CAMMEO:
Give it a good stir and I’ll add the sugar. And if you must know,
he puts on airs, as if he's polite and all, but he's a … vampire.
MEZ:
But he can't hurt you. Aren't you like ... supernatural?
CAMMEO:
But what about you? He could hurt you. Aren't you
a little bit afraid of him?
MEZ:
No. Fin said he's harmless. He's annoying, and if he doesn't keep his hands to himself he's going to get belted - but he's probably too afraid of my sister to do anything really bad.
CAMMEO:
Which one, Daprima or Grace?
MEZ:
Does it matter?
CAMMEO:
Hehehe, no I guess not, both of them are quite formidable.
I must admit, I'm a little afraid of them myself.
MEZ:
They’re pretty bossy. That's why I like spending
time with you. You’re so easy to be with.
CAMMEO:
blushing
Thank you … We need to add half the bag of chocolate chips.
MEZ:
Can't we throw 'em all in? They’re the best part.
CAMMEO:
That may be too much, but do you think we could?
CAMMEO:
…We're almost finished. Thank you Mez.
MEZ:
All I did was stir.
CAMMEO:
And you’ve made me feel less apprehensive
about Karanthir. They're ready for the oven.
A few minutes later ...
