[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.

'I do.'

[takethat]

Yeah? You're probably pretty good at it, huh?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Decent enough. I've been a bachelor for years; I couldn't subsist on other's cooking forever.'

[takethat]

I've been living the bachelor life pretty much always, myself, but it still hasn't done a lot for my cooking.

'You must not have been trying too hard, then.'

Hey, hey, hey!! I try, I'm just highly untalented! ...at cooking!

[Somehow this seems like a better excuse to him.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Almost everyone can be taught to cook.'

[takethat]

It's the "almost" that's the key word, there.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Ah well, it's certainly not my problem.'
