[A flour-covered Phoenix may be found in the kitchen bright and early on March 7, adorned with a yellow and white striped apron, and merrily rolling out cookie dough. His journal is open nearby, and he's talking over it.]
So, it's Purim! Or at least, it will be tonight. I don't think it counts for very much here, since the castle seems to be pretty choosy about what holidays it celebrates, but I wanted to make hamantaschen anyway. So, uh, anybody who wants some, please let me know!
[There's a delay as he's cutting out circles from the dough, and then a splatter of prune filling on the journal.]
...if you don't know what they are, they're cookies with fruit filling in the center. These are prune flavored. Don't knock it til you try it, but I can make apricot, too.
[And with that, he goes back to making his cookies, plopping the filling into the center of each one and pinching the cookies into triangle shapes. When finished, they'll look a bit like this, though considerably less perfectly-shaped. A couple are definitely still round.]
Hey, uh--Maya? I need to ask you something.
[A lengthy pause]
...what's going on with you and that Wheatley guy?
I made you a batch of hamantaschen. Lots of different flavors. I'm in the kitchen if you want to come get them, or I can bring them to you later.

He's that guy I told you about! The one who's working to find a way out of the castle.
And actually, speaking of him... he said that you attacked him or something? I told him you're not the kind of guy who just goes around picking on people, so I wanted to hear what happened between you two!
Maya
...I just threatened him. But he was saying some really questionable things about you! So I... told him that he'd be sorry if he ever hurt you.
Nick
[oh... oh. Oh Nick asdlkghads so he was trying to defend her? That's... really sweet]
Y-You don't have to worry about me, you know. He's weird, but I don't think he's a creep. I've got a good sensor for stuff like this!
Maya, 1/2
...and then when I said you're my work partner, he said...
Maya, 2/2
...he said, "That's not what she said last night."
Nick 1/2
Well! Okay, yeah we met up at night, but it was totally 100% not weird like that!
Nick
And I can't believe you would think I would do something like that!!!!
Maya
Nick (THRID TIME IS A CHARM ADGAHK )
[asdgha Nick. there's a pause and you can hear a small smile on her end]
Thanks... Nick.
Maya
[He's getting all kinds of flustered now, so he's just gonna be over here... being quiet...]
Nick
TEASE NICK]
I'll talk to Wheatley and make sure he doesn't phrase things in a such a weird way anymore. So don't go getting into any fist fights, okay? Who knows, you might end up not being able to talk again!
Maya
Hey! Hey now! I could take him in a fight!
Nick
Maya
Nick
[nah, she actually thinks Nick could hold his own in a fight. BUT WHY WOULD SHE SAY THAT, this is more fun]
Maya
[Maya is succeeding spectacularly in getting his feathers ruffled.]
Nick
Maya
Nick
Maya
[And as his words are more or less disregarded, he suddenly has the horrific mental image of Maya dragging him to dinner with Wheatley.]
Nick
Maya
[Sigh. How is it he can win arguments in court against some of the most ruthless prosecutors to ever exist, yet never can win against Maya?]
Nick
Anyway... other then that, how have you been?
