[ he's just going to grab her wrist before she can throw more milk in there. kara isn't really a baker, but even he knows it's not that simple - and judging from the cookie dough, futaba has already messed it up. so he shakes his head, takes the bowl, and dumps it in the trash before setting the bowl back in front of her. ]

Start over. Follow the recipe this time.

[alitaba]

[ puffs her cheeks at him. she's trying!!! ]

I am!!

[ and huff puffs her way through round two. at least this round it seems to be mixing better??? what even. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ the rice is in the cooker, so he lingers between doublechecking that he's got enough of everything for dinner and just. watching futaba to make sure she doesn't fuck up again. ]

[alitaba]

[ look, she's getting the hang of it!! It vaguely looks like it should look now, given a few lumps n bumps but for a first ("first") try it should be edible.

hopefully ]

This is.... so much harder than it looks......

[ who thought noodle arms and cooking was a good idea again???? ]

[unfriendliest]

...You really don't know anything about this, do you.

[ it would be funny, if it were anyone but kara watching this. ]

Will you be able to finish?

[alitaba]

[ just. flinches a little. hopefully, kara doesn't notice but there's really no way of making 'mom was too busy and then awfully dead to teach me' not sound godawful. SO WE'RE JUST GONNA KEEP STEAMROLLING PAST THOSE BAD THOUGHTS. CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS ]

I'm gonna do my best!!!

[ but at least the mona shaped cookies are starting to look vaguely cat shaped. ]

[ he sees that flinch, but kara is more interested in making sure futaba doesn't make a further mess of his kitchen than prying. he will, however, eye the cookies skeptically. they're definitely supposed to be something, but he can't tell just yet...? ]

What are they?

[alitaba]

[ see, this is why she likes you, Kara. ]

They're gonna be cats!!

[ can't you see the misshapen ears and tail????? ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he squints at them. ]

You're not very good at shaping them, are you.

[ or making them. or... any of this, really. ]

[alitaba]

[ WELL HE DOESN'T HAVE TO COME OUT AND SAY IT LIKE THAT. GEEZ KARA ]

They're just not done yet!! You can't rush art!!!!

[unfriendliest]

Is this what you call "art."

[ it's

not a question ]

[alitaba]

It's just abstract art!! Picasso!!

[ it's.... sure something ]

[unfriendliest]

...What's a "Picasso?"

[alitaba]

[ WHAT'S A PICASSO- ]

He's-

He's a really famous artist.

[unfriendliest]

Never heard of him.

[alitaba]

[ She's just. Gonna wander off. Hold on uno moment ]

[unfriendliest]

[ oh

well at least she's done making a mess of the kitchen ]

[alitaba]

[ A MYSTERIOUS TIME LATER. Comes back, puts a book from the library in front of him, and points ]

Picasso!

[ and grumpily goes back to her cubism(?) cookies ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he's been busy with dinner in the meantime so her cookies have been set aside

he gives the image a flat look ]

He's not a very good artist, is he.

[alitaba]

[ she snorts if only because she can already hear Inari having Words about that ]

Still good enough to be remembered though!!

[ and it makes her feel better about her shitty cats so he can shush ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he turns back to dinner ]

You don't have to be good at something to be remembered.

[alitaba]

[ doesn't she know it ]

I guess you can also be so bad at it you're immortalized forever.

[ like her misshapen cat cookies. we're gonna just say there's a variety of cats instead of just a generic one going on here ]

[unfriendliest]

...True.

[ he gives her a slightly amused look... but she probably won't be able to tell because what is showing emotion ahaha ]

Cookies aren't all that memorable, though.

[alitaba]

[ god, Kara. would it kill you to emote ]

If they're That Good they are. Like moms curry....!!

[unfriendliest]

[ yeah ]

You messed up the dough the first time. They probably won't be that good.
