Pavel. [ Her gaze follows his to the books. ]

Oh, no. I simply thought that we could decide what to cook. And this one [ holding the Russian one out for him to look at ] this one says that one can make authentic Russian food.

[ With a little smile. ] I read some of it and did not feel the urge to flee yet.

[candothat]

Something simple, I hope. [He accepts the cookbook and pages through it.] No urge to flee? As I have said, you are most brave.

[likeboudica]

None whatsoever. Though even with the images, the book cannot, of course, account for taste and smell.

[candothat]

One of the advantages books have over life, perhaps.

[likeboudica]

Certainly. One of many things that I like about them. [ But then, she loves books. ] Shall we?

[candothat]

[He keeps the Russian cookbook under one arm and takes Tessa's hand.] Yes. Do we need ingredients?

[likeboudica]

[ She likes how holding hands has replaced walking with her arm on his. It feels nice, connected. ] Should we not decide what to cook first before we get ingredients?

[candothat]

They do not all have the same basic ingredients? [He looks genuinely surprised by his.] Very well. What would you like to cook, Miss Tessa?

[likeboudica]

No, of course not. [ Chekov. Aren't you supposed to be a genius? ] Perhaps we should start small.

[candothat]

[It's all basically carbon atoms, okay. Those are everywhere.] With the food you are familiar with, perhaps.

[likeboudica]

[ What is an atom? ] Or with pancakes, after all.

[candothat]

[...Oh dear.]

Or with pancakes. Is there a recipe for that, or do you remember it?

[likeboudica]

[ ... ]

I remember it, though there are recipes.

[candothat]

You are telling me that there are different ways to make pancakes? [Which... he actually figured out, but really, how many different ways does a person need to make one kind of food?]

[likeboudica]

There are, I believe. [ But she makes them as McCoy taught her. ] Though they don't differ very much.

[candothat]

Listen to you--an expert on pancakes. Where would you like to cook? The kitchen is usually serviceable at my apartment, when Howl is not in it.

[likeboudica]

Only because Len has taught me. [ Smiling a little at the memory. ]

I do not mind, truly. Shall we go to your apartment, then?

[candothat]

He is the universe's foremost expert on pancakes.

Yes, and then we will not need to go to a store. Howl has bought everything needed to cook... more than everything.

[likeboudica]

I would not know if he is that, but he does know how to make pancakes, at least.

And will he not mind if we use it?

[candothat]

[dismissively] Of course not! I pay for half; it is as much my kitchen full of things that I do not know how to prepare as it is his.

[likeboudica]

Very well, then.
