[Oh no Souji would have loved her.]

Eh? Surely we couldn't have gotten into all that much trouble. [Said in the gremlin way of a gremlin who always gets into trouble and knows it.] Ah, but now your biscuit-making makes a lot of sense... It's always easy to bribe someone with a very big sweet tooth with sweets.

[ Alphinaud watched you eagerly jump into both of those brawls, Souji, he knows your brand of gremlin now. ]

Oh—yes, though that was genuinely meant as an apology... but those ginger snaps are her favorite. I remember as children how often our grandfather would sneak her some behind our parents back, as well.

[DO NOT PERCEIVE... No he knows he's been seen.]

Of course - you do seem to be the sort to do things with sincerity. It's one of the things that I find most admirable about you. [GOTTA GET HIS COMPLIMENTS OUT NOW WHILE HE CAN except neither of them get picked by The Claw so he can continue to gush over sweet Alphinaud all he wants until they inevitably perish...]

How sweet, though... I'm sure she was very grateful for it!

[ he's stuck here with you binches ]

Oh. ... Thank you.

[ he says, a little sheepishly ]

I've gotten a little better since then, I think. I've been baking more lately...

[ which I say Souji has likely handwavily noticed, me nodding. ]

[YEAH. Suffer!! also thanks i love this and Souji also finds it very cute.]

Ah! So that's what you've been working on. [Souji does like practically live in the kitchen, after all, so he sure would have noticed.] What do you think? Has it gotten any easier? Have you found any good recipes?

'Tis been a fine way to pass the time—and the results are something others can enjoy, as well. It is still challenging, but I have found it becomes a little easier each time.

As with all things! [Or most, at least... Most things become easier with time.......] I'm glad that you've found it enjoyable, though. Will you let me try something you've baked someday?

[sageguidance]

Sieghart did ask me to make something for the morrow...

Oh! Wonderful! I'll look forward to sampling whatever it is you intend to make, then.
