Good day! I fear I'm not available to take your call at the moment. Please feel free to leave a message here, and I'll be sure to return your call as quickly as I can.
[ And a relief that is- she's grateful for the help, even making some playful remarks at her expense about the situation. But together they do manage a good enough job and now-
Yes, this is much nicer, and she lifts her head to lean against his touch with the softest of rumbling purrs before looking up at him with a flick of her ears and a sheepish smile. ]
Suppose someone ought to tell my brat of a brother that, back home. He's cursed me out often for even trying beyond my skill.
[ She'd just wanted to do something nice... and on her own. Clearly she hasn't been practicing her culinarian rotations as well as she ought to.
But she does wrap an arm around his back and smiles a bit. ]
Never trust a recipe that says it's quick and easy. They're usually lying and missing instructions. [ A huff- ] ... but now I'm a whole treat short of what the neighbors would get on me moving out of here. Any suggestions, great teacher?
You can't get any better if you don't push the boundary! This, [said as he gestured towards the fragmented, sooty remains of the cake] is only to be expected, doubtless it'll happen more. There's no shame in making a few mistakes, it's all part of the process.
[He hummed thoughtfully, now lightly drumming his fingers against her shoulder as she posed her question, glancing about the kitchen.]
But, perhaps for now, the learning process can be put on hold.... Maybe you should just buy a cake and save your education for another day.
[ Maybe she shouldn't tell him this sort of thing has been happening in various forms through the years... the last thing she needs is for her dear friend and instructor to laugh at her failure. Not that X'rhun would. Still!
She circles around in front then, draping her arms around his shoulders before poking her nose up against his. It's an affectionate gesture, her body purring softly, before she smiles and draws her face back enough to meet his gaze. ]
Help me pick something out, then? Pity I can't just bring you over. Treat like yourself ought to be enjoyed, X'rhun.
[ She couldn't help herself, alright? She's just terribly fond of him and the flirting comes naturally. ]
