Mylorah washed her hands without complaint, knowing the importance of such things thanks both to her mother's rules when she was little and when she helped in the kitchen prepping vegetables. She liked that C'dhin was so strict about such a thing and it made her feel better eating all of his delicious treats over the turns knowing he cared so much about hygiene. She patted her hands dry on the towel left by the bucket and her dress flared around her as she spun back around to face her teacher. "Whatever you want to teach me would be amazing but your little cakes with the layer of fruit in the middle would make me so happy!" She loved those cakes and how light they were despite being a sweet dessert. How did he make the cake like that, so different from the standard ones served at dinner? She loved it coupled with the berries as well, making her think of summer and beaches.
She nodded enthusiastically when C'dhin told her to take a few minutes looking over the ingredients he had set out. He did earn a look when he said he wanted to make sure she knew the difference between flour and sugar. She knew that! They didn't look alike, it was the salt that snuck up on her but she didn't point that out as she started poking at the various containers, sniffing some, and doing her best not to steal from the bowl of berries.
When the lesson was ready to begin in earnest, Mylorah stepped up to the bowl that was hers and noticed C'dhin had a bowl of his own as well. They would both make a batch of cookies, he explained, so she could see his methods in practice and then give it a go herself. She liked that idea! Verbal direction was all well and good but sometimes seeing how something was done made it easier for her to learn. Having C'dhin as her guide, knowing how skilled he was and how patient he could be, was just the icing on her soon-to-be baked cake!
