[Little Sunny is in the kitchen, singing the Fibonacci sequence and mixing something in a large bowl. There's a cake pan nearby and the stove is preheating while she mixes. And as soon as she starts the electric beater...

Well, the mess was inevitable. Could anyone expect anything better from an eight year old kid? She may know how to cook but a

[Dear god, he'll never get how one child can make a mess like this. Dimitri's just going to linger in the doorway, debating whether or not he should finish the line of logic that brought him here. The cake mix coukd end up going horribly wrong, and someone would have to clean this mess up eventually...]

[A low whine escaped him. She had no obvious sense of direction in terms of what she was doing.]

[patriotsprodigy]

[It takes practice. Plenty of practice. Except, this hadn't been intentional. And she was planning on cleaning everything up, she's good about that.]

[At his whine though, Sunny turned around to look and felt her ears get hot in embarrassment.]

It w-was an a-accident.

[neurotic_insect]

I'm sure it was. [He tilted his head slightly to one side.] Fairly impressive, actually. That you managed to do this all on your own.

[He took a few steps inside, eying the ingredients she had scattered around.]

Chocolate, huh?

[patriotsprodigy]

May I ask how far you've gotten in the recipe?

[patriotsprodigy]

Um... I th-think I was a-almost done. I j-just had to put it in the p-pans and then c-cook it.

[neurotic_insect]

Mmm.

[He weighs some pros and cons before speaking once more.] Non-stick baking pans?

[patriotsprodigy]

I d-dunno. I th-thought most pans were non-s-stick.

[neurotic_insect]

Plenty are, but those that aren't need a little more prep.
