[Here's Lilo. Here's Lilo all alone in the first floor Joe West kitchen attempting to make hot cocoa.

But she's short. Waaay too short.

Also. Her sister's gone, so is Stitch.... she may be a bit down in the dumps.

EVERYBODY LEAVES]

[Another hot chocolate adventure? He'd just walked in on Audrey making some the other day. He's not sure how much he can help but...honestly, he wouldn't mind sticking around just to get some of the final product.

[He tentatively enters the room, ears back and a shy sort of smile on his face.]

[iwannalobster]

Hi.

FFFFFFFFT.

[hybridoutcast]

[His smile widens, and his tail begins to wag. Slowly, he'll lift his head up higher.]

Hi! Name's Balto.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Want some help there, sugah?

[iwannalobster]

You can make cocoa??

[tiatiatiatiatia]

'Course I can, darlin'!

And I wont even burn down th'kitchen this time. Cocoa's one thing I actually know how t'make.

[Lottie filled a kettle with milk and put it on the stove. Instead of pulling out the cocoa packets, she dug around in the back of a pantry and pulled out some premium Ghiradella hazelnut cocoa powder from the back and a container of cinnemon, and a can of whip cream from the icebox.

She grabbed the first large mug she could see in the top cabinet, standing on her tip toes in order to get it. With a little difficulty and using the tips of her fingers to drag it out, she set it on the counter and placed several spoonfuls of powder inside.

Soon enough the kettle whistled, and she poured the hot milk in the mug. Stirring the powder and milk together, she topped it off with the whipped cream and cinnemon.]

And voila!

[She held the mug out to Lilo, the spoon still in it, just in case she wanted to use it to drink the cocoa with.]

[iwannalobster]

[She's gonna take it with a big smile]

Thanks!

[Lilo is now going to use the spoon to eat all the whipped cream.... and then gonna blow on the cocoa until it will cool down. NO BURNING HER TONGUE TODAY KTHX]

[wolf_faerie]

[Aisling can smell that cocoa powder. And it smells good. So she'll just poke her head through the kitchen door and smell it.

What are social conventions.]

[iwannalobster]

[OH HEI AISLING. Lilo's just gonna notice you pokin' out ur head]

Hey! Do you know how to make hot cocoa??

[wolf_faerie]

No. Is that what that is? It smells good.

[Comes out from behind the door frame.]

[iwannalobster]

Yeah... but I can't reach the powder.

[She points to one of the boxes on the countertop]

[newyorkbynight]

Need a hand?

[iwannalobster]

[Gonna eye you for a bit]

Yes please.

[newyorkbynight]

I'm Elisa. [And she's going to opt for the reassuring sort of smile.]

What were you trying to make?

[iwannalobster]

I'm Lilo!

[Smile back]

I was tryin' to make hot cocoa.
