[ Really, the first noise through this is the dinging of a timer. ]

.... If any are wanted, cookies are in the kitchen. [ And they might be a little well-done - not to the point of being blackened, but to the point of the cookies being dry enough to fall apart fairly easily. But the smell of apple-caramel shouldn't throw anyone off, because that's what the cookies are. Oatmeal-apple-caramel.

Someone tell him that the stacks are starting to collapse elsewhere off his cooking rack? Or maybe help him cook them so he doesn't take them out as late as he is. He'll reward help with fresh cookies- ]

[ And because he has... just about everything he was thinking about giving people... He might as well while they're still warm? It doesn't matter if they're early-

Spoilers. They're almost all plates of cookies. ~~And Dreamwidth has hidden a great deal of the cuts so check please?~~ ]

[ Clint ]

[ There's just a plate with a pile of the most crumbled cookies with an arrow on top of it. Isn't this yours? ]

[ Clow ]

[ A plate of cookies! ~~He will be back with... something else after he gets gifts-~~ ]

[ Sheena ]

[ Oops he left you things and you're not here. ... Oh well. ]

[ Felix + Ashura ]

[ A plate of cookies - and a second one, as he checks that nameplate and found two familiar names. Under them is a neat plain-paper wrapped book. ]

[ Vanyel ]

[ He remembered hearing something about 'stables', so with a little extra layering, he's heading out with a carefully bespelled plate of cookies. Guess who figured out how to trap heat for a little while, at least? And he isn't sure if Yfandes would like the cookies, so he has a plain apple or two in his pocket as well. Just in case. ]

[ Will ]

[ Okay, in this case, he just kinda comes back with a plate of cookies and fends his animals off them. ]

[ Jade ]

[ Just a pile of cookies on a plate. ]

[ Dairine ]

[ Cookies on a plate and a note atop! 'If you have a favored cup, can apply a spell to keep it cool or warm for longer times.' He figures if she's a mage, she might space out and forget drinks until they're no longer the best temperature for drinking. He does that fairly often. ]

[ Allen Walker ]

[ He really just put his name on a plate of cookies in the clinic. The spell won't let anyone else pick them up, so deal with it everyone else. There's a note on the back side of the name-paper -> "Almost done with the item for casting. Brush up on math." ]

[ Peeta ]

[ A plate of cookies! You checked up on him, he figures he might as well. ]

[ Muraki ]

[ It's just a plate of cookies in the clinic with his name on them. Trying to take his name or any cookies from the plate - or the plate itself - won't work unless its Muraki. ]

[ Sophie ]

[ Some cookies on a plate! ]

[ Hermione ]

[ Cookies on a plate~. He will be back with a book when he finds her gift. ]

[ Martel ]

[ Cookies on a plate with her name on them in the clinic. Again, no one else can take them but her. ]

[ Dhaos ]

[ A plate of cookies! ]

[ Mark ]

[ He remembers hearing a second voice, so there might be double the amount of cookies on this plate. ]

[ Lemony ]

[ And a plate of cookies! If there is anything scented of tea, there will be a hastily scribbled note offering to make a cup keep-warm for long periods of time. ]

[ Genis ]

[ Have some cookies. In retrospect, he was pretty sure he creeped you out or something. Sorry. ]

[ Thamuris ]

[ Have a plate of cookies! There's a note there too - "Am almost done with the item for casting own sort of magic, if weere interested in attempting.". ]

[ Howl ]

[ And a plate of cookies for you too. ]
((OOC: Feel free to catch him delivering gifts! Otherwise, unless stated, they're outside the character's door. Open for kissing~

Also PM me if you think you should be on this list-))

[Jade hears something outside his door and pokes his head out to see what's going on. Seeing the cookies, Jade looks confused, but accepts them and slips back inside.

Holiday gifts are nice~]

I would love a demonstration when you're ready.

And thank you for the cookies - they're very good.

Working on something with wards at the moment, likely best time wil lbe after that is finished.

Ah- .. good. It is somewhat hard to tell when they are done.

[ Without sticking his finger one and burning himself. ]

All right.

And yes, I can imagine. I'm not much of a cook myself.

[Yeah, he did not make that baklava himself]

[ Oh. It was good though- ]

Was... far better with open fires. Most things are.. tricky.

[ Meaning end up half-raw yet... ]

I guess a great deal of practice, then. Which would be frustrating.

... Likely. Although haven't cooked anything that disagreed with yet, might not be best to try so with a great deal of things.

[ Some things aren't quite... good for people when not cooked properly. ]

Well, I'm happy to help, if you'd like. I'm a bit at loose ends here.

... If will not result in taking too much of your time...

[ You've already offered to help him with books, Thamuris. He will show up at 3am because he found a book and couldn't wait- ]

Time is something I have in armfuls, now that I'm not sleeping most of the day.

... A good point.

[ Although he still would feel odd if he was the one going to Thamuris because he wanted books or food- ]

... If I find interesting books, go to you. If you find yourself wishing to cook, find me?

Certainly.

Good, then.

Will glances up from his book, one hand resting protectively in the new belt hidden under his sweater.

"Cookies, Duke?"

"Cookies." Ah, good, Will is in here. And if the cat won't trip him, he'll just carefully make his way over and offer the plate. These are your cookies.

He ate several of the broken ones.

With a small laugh Will scoops up the cat and transfers it to his chair before taking the plate.

"Thank you very much. They look marvelous."

"... They are very likely to be dry."

Because. He can't really see when they reach the point of being done enough to pull out of the oven and not start crumbling so it was all based on time... which isn't really the best way to make cookies...

"I don't mind." Will was still pleasantly surprised that Duke had gone to the effort. "You should have tried some of the cookies Mary made me try when Mum was teaching her to bake."

Will he made cookies for everyone he remembered the names of-

"Less edible than what was burnt to cook them?"

[Dhaos can here Duke, though he expects the man to just walk past. When the other mage stops at the door instead, it confuses Dhaos enough to walk over and open the door. It confuses him even more when he notices the plate of cookies in the other's hands.]

...?

....?

[ Door did you just open?

... have a careful extending of his arms. These are your cookies, he doesn't want to accidentally dump them on the floor because he knocked the plate into you. ]

[Somewhat later that day ~~since Ashura was probably keeping him busy~~, Felix finds the package. He's far more interested in the book than the cookies, to be honest. Ashura will likely eat most of those]

Thank you very much, Duke.

I was wondering if there was any significance to the book?

[ That's okay, the cookies weren't very well-cooked- ]

Mostly world information. Have a copy that was only the information of the non-fairy tale sort...

I look forward to reading it then.

But all the other books about your world here are fairy tales? How odd.

I... had not checked....

[ He knows his world, why would he go looking for information on it... ]

Ah. Well...perhaps worth a look. Not all the books in there have to be from the same world.

I hope you like your gift as well. It should be in your room. I had the ghosts drop it off.

Possibly - or books that I did not have, or had not read in some time...

The chocolates were.. new. [ But that's said with a bit of an approving tone. He liked them, even if he's not quite used to sweets yet. ]

.. the watch is most useful.

I'm glad. You seem to have a spell for everything.

[ He doesn't know why you think that, he doesn't have a spell for a lot of things... ]

Didn't need a spell for time, sky was the easiest way... [ Only looking for the sun doesn't help him now- ]

[Because there's so much Duke can do that he can't]

Too tell time? Ah, yes, I suppose. Pocketwatches were popular back home. Sometimes mundane is best.

Stable, at the very least.

Certainly.

Thank you again, Duke. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Ah- and you as well.
