[ Ellie is silent for a moment, before sighing. ]

I give this place about twenty points just for not being too high on the bullshit meter.

And I get there's a price for making wishes, but still?

Here's the bullshit: I've got something to celebrate, and from what I've gathered in those "days of old" stories before the world ended? You get a cake when you've got something to party about. I already spent a wish on a pizza party, and since I'm basically trained to not trust anything, I won't let myself go any further.

So.

Baking. How does one accomplish it, and where the fuck does one start?

He's likable regardless of that stuff.

[nohalfway]

[ A laugh. ]

Yeah, he really is.

I know, I give him flack for shit but he's a really good guy.

[dog_eat_dog]

I certainly wouldn't trade him in.

[ Ellie makes a sound of acknowledgment, nodding happily. ]

Man, this batter's still lumpy. That's not good, right?

[dog_eat_dog]

So beat it harder. They've all got to be beat out.

[ Ellie does just that, whisking away at the batter and practically putting her whole body into it. ]

So... Did you cook a lot before the world got shitty?

[dog_eat_dog]

Sometimes. I was only nineteen when shit hit the fan, so most of the cooking I did was helping my parents in the kitchen.
