0. Hmmm. Like this? No, it's more like that.
1. Lysithea! It isn't often I find you in the kitchen.
2. I could say the same. What are you doing here at [cdb]this hour?
3. Oh, I just wanted to bake some treats for everyone.
4. To improve morale, right?
5. In that case, I'll help. Four hands are better than two [cdb]and all that.
6. That would be wonderful. If you could start by [cdb]peeling this fruit and... Oh dear.
7. What's wrong?
8. These fruits have mostly spoiled. I was going to add [cdb]them for the fragrance, but in this state...
9. Well, it's not like we can go out and buy more, [cdb]so we'll just have to leave them out.
10. Just to take stock, what ingredients do we currently [cdb]have on hand?
11. Well, we have eggs, flour, sugar, and a very small [cdb]amount of oil.
12. Sounds like there's no good substitute for the fruit, [cdb]then. We'll have to get creative.
13. Do you have something in mind?
14. I do, actually. If we boil the sugar in a pot...
15. Thank you, Lysithea. I think everyone will love them.
16. And filling them with that sweet syrup you made was [cdb]a marvelous idea.
17. Yeah, it's one of my favorite go-to tricks. But still, I couldn't have done it without you.
18. Really? I suppose I helped a little, but...
19. I still dream about those rainbow cookies you made.
20. Ever since I had them, I've spent all my free time [cdb]researching how to be a better baker.
21. That's actually where I got the idea to make that [cdb]syrup, so you were more help than you thought.
22. Oh, but you're always so busy training! Are you sure [cdb]you're getting enough rest?
23. Honestly, baking is a nice break. Plus, it's when I'm [cdb]busy that I need sweets the most.
24. Heh. Well, I'm glad you found your own way to relax.
25. I still think exercising, studying magic, and daily [cdb]training are important...
26. But I realized taking breaks every now and then [cdb]improves my productivity, too.
27. Goodness, you really have changed.
28. You seem more mature now—like a responsible [cdb]young woman!
29. I've always been mature, thank you very much.
30. Well then, maybe you're simply wiser—like a wizened [cdb]old grandmother!
31. Not sure I'd call myself... You know what? Never mind. I'll take it as a compliment.
32. Lysithea, would you like to have another tea party [cdb]with me sometime? I'd love to try some of your [cdb]baking for myself.
33. Sure, I suppose we could do that. Maybe then you'll [cdb]finally teach me how to make those cookies!
