[Eggs, flour, milk, sugar...]

I'm happy to take a win where I can. Besides! I've got the entire Cordis period to work out how to get around the others.

[....ah, the 'lemons'! The closest thing he could find to Nomel berries, here. He's particularly proud of these.

(That last sentence was absolutely punctuated by a wink, of course).]

Don't count on managing.

[...That said, the...the fruit, right, that's. ...God, they all look so weird.]

...I am never going to get used to the fruit here. Most things seem to have some sort of equivalent, and then there are others that are just completely incorrect.

[CLEARLY, IT'S THE FRUIT THAT IS WRONG.]

[They'll clearly have to put in a complaint to Lunatia's manager!]

Bizarre, is it not? I'm assuming you'd be able to find plenty of these 'lemons' in 'Paris'. Either way, I'm confident they will suit our purposes!

[Don't ask him how he worked out that they'd be the best....it involved taking a bite out one in front of a horrified vendor...]

Now, where can I find pans, and the like? I promise I won't completely rearrange your kitchen.

[......maybe.]

[...DID YOU PEEL IT FIRST OR DID YOU JUST DECIDE THAT BITING THE RIND WAS A GREAT IDEA- ]

They're...

[...In a cabinet he'll have a way easier time reaching than you, in hindsight, let him...get that...]

If anything, we may have to rearrange some things, if you plan on doing this frequently.

[NO COMMENT.]

I mean, I'm more than happy to watch you fetching things for me.

[....you really are so tall, aren't you....it hits a bit differently, now.]

Perhaps, but I assume we'd like to actually get cooking done sometime in the near future.

[Oh my god, have your pan.]

As it stands, not everything is going to be out of your reach, I promise.

[Yes, he's definitely laughing as he accepts that pan...]

I hope not, or next time I'll have to bring a stool! I'm not used to being the short one.

[Right, time to begin with these eggs and the (definitely not Moomoo) milk...also, don't you dare leave this kitchen, he's having too much fun flirting with you.]

But I'm sure I'll get used to it. Pass me a bowl, won't you?

I'd imagine you aren't, though I'm obviously a terrible gauge of where "average" is...

[The most he's really aware of is that literally all of his female dates have been able to wear heels if they want to, regardless of their height.]

That said, keep this up and I'll make you climb on the counter eventually.

[Not that he's complaining too much. Take this.]

Is that a threat or a promise?

[Thank you for that bowl, though, smarmy commentary aside; at least Sycamore is capable of successfully puzzling out where a whisk might be stored! He'll lean against the counter while he uses said whisk, so he can face you for a little while.]

I do hope we can do this a bit, though. I haven't seen too much of your domestic side! Or, well...not in this manner, anyway.

[You know....all....romantic-like. Not quite the same as being roommates!]

...Admittedly, I haven't cultivated much of one. So it's hardly as though you've been missing out on much...

[He has not dated seriously in a really long time, um.]

I'll work it out eventually, I'm sure. I've always been a quick study.

[...ah. Oh, well, that's a bit cute, isn't it. Let him give you a light pat on the chest.

...don't worry, his hand is clean. No egg or milk residue!]

It's all right, mon cheri. I'll teach you. You've always enjoyed learning from me, no?

I'll be looking forward to it.

[The contact is nice, as is the fact that it's egg-free.]

You'll certainly have more than enough opportunity.

I'm glad to hear it.

[As much as he'd like to keep up that (egg-free!) contact, he can't make these crêpes one-handed...back to the counter it is! Time to start mixing the dry ingredients.]

Like you said, however, I doubt I'll need to put much effort in. If you can manage Mega Evolution, you can manage this!

I sometimes still can't believe I managed Mega Evolution at all, to be honest. It had been something I had wanted for so long...

[He's still pleased with it, in a somewhat understated sort of way.]

It's good to know you have faith that I'll do as well with this. Even if I do think you have a bit too much of that, at times.

That makes one of us.

[Dry ingredients are in a bowl together (he worked out where to find them, as much as he'd love to watch you fetching them for him...), which gives Sycamore an excuse to turn back around as he mixes them together.

With a knowing smile, of course.]

I always knew you'd work it out eventually. The faith, regardless of amount, isn't up for discussion! If anything, the fact that you did achieve Mega Evolution just proves me right. Don't you think?

...Perhaps. It was well worth the effort, at any rate; I still owe you a demonstration, don't I?

Talking like I could possibly forget?

[Okay, wet ingredients slowly going into dry....should probably start heating up the pan...]

I'll apologise in advance for my reaction, because it's probably going to be embarrassing. But it comes from a good place.

Your reactions aren't nearly as embarrassing as you seem to assume they are, you know.

[Right, time to let the batter rest while the pan heats up! Which is good, because this seems like an excellent time to be able to face you properly. Smiling, of course!]

That's a brave thing to say before you've seen the way I'm going to react to you performing Mega Evolution, you know.

[But that's not...quite as teasing as it could be. Heh.]

...I appreciate it, though. Keep talking like that and I'll assume you like them!

[...]

Ah, but that's not a strange thing to assume now, is it? My goodness. I might blush, Lysandre!

I think I know you well enough to know what I'm getting into, don't worry.

[Among all the...everything else. Yes. Anyway.]

Besides, I've always appreciated the enthusiasm.

I'm glad! I can't help but get excited when my favourite student excels.

[Have a fond pat on your cheek, okay (at least...he can reach that without having to grab a stool, you absolute giant), as he checks this pan. The batter should probably rest for a little bit longer, but...oh well, he's hungry. It'll work out!]

At least you do have the advantage of knowing what I'm like. It's important to be enthusiastic about one's loves and passions, Lysandre! I'm including making crêpes among that, by the way.

[If you're getting the impression that...pretty much anything could go on that list, you would...be right....]

[Augustine, please...]

...Is there much that isn't included among that? I actually have difficulty coming up with things you dislike in any way.

[...you know what, that is a....great question, let him consider this pan thoughtfully for a moment, while he stirs the batter.

...]

...hm. I don't really enjoy tea! But I had some with fruit in it and it was actually rather delightful, so perhaps that isn't a good example...

[...

yeah could we come back to that one, he is. also struggling]

...Somehow, I'm not surprised by any of this.

[oh my god. this is so cute.]

[stoppppp don't tease....he's going to focus his attention on the crepe he's now cooking, all right!]

Ha! Just be confident in the knowledge that you're at the top of the list.
