She thinks about that, only really wants to say goodbye, can't think of anything else. Maybe 'take care', but she's not sure that's the right thing to say, and words are difficult. She looks up at Pradnakt hoping the woman will be able to help her sort this out.

You can say that, yeah. She passes the mic over.

Then Rhoda will say that, and also 'have a good evening' because that also seems like something she should say.

"You too. I'll see you tomorrow - I'll call before I leave, if I have time, okay?"

Rhoda nods, remembers Daisy can't see her, and says something vaguely affirmative sounding.

"Okay. See you then."

Dusk takes the mic back. "See you soon, Love."

Cookies? Or are you too cozy to get up?

That is not an easy question to answer. Because she is quite cosy. On the other hand, cookies.

Cookies? she says after some thought to the matter. It seems a shame to have put all that hard work in not to try them.

All right.

She is, once again, too leaned on to get up first. Not that she's complaining.

Rhoda takes the same moment she's taken all the other times to straighten herself up and get to her feet, and this time, she manages to forget to wait for Pradnakt as she heads through to the main room at speed. She stops in the doorway, looking back, eyes wide and a little startled at her own audacity.

Pradnakt is grinning, and shoos her onward. Go ahead.

She smiles and does so, hovering by the cookies and eyeing the dishes from making them. They should be cooled now, and it would make more sense to get them done sooner rather than later.

And Pradnakt goes to wash them.

Rhoda looks between the cookies and the dishes. Would you like some help? she offers.

Nope, I've got them. How are the cookies?

Rhoda takes one to try. And makes that delighted noise at the taste. They're good. Thank you.

Glad you like them. Next time won't be nearly so much work, Daisy's bringing some almond butter home with her.

...To replace the nut butter we made? she asks.

Mmhmm. If you're making a lot of nut butter, there are machines to do it, and it's a lot easier that way. It's good to know how to make it ourselves, but the pre-made stuff is inexpensive and almost as good. And there are a bunch of kinds.

She nods, finishing the cookie in her hand and looking sideways at the remaining ones. So you can make different kinds of cookies with them? And...there are other purposes to them?

Mmhmm. Making sandwiches with them is really common, and you can do it lots of ways - usually with something sweet, but not always. Or you can make other kinds of treats with them, or soup, or all kinds of things.

If you want to just eat the cookies for dinner, that's fine, she sends fondly. I think I'll make myself some egg salad when I'm done with this.

That would be...okay? It wouldn't be bad? Something was said about needing to eat the right things?

Yeah. But I'm mostly worried about calories, right now - how much energy is in your food, to make sure you're getting enough even though you aren't eating very much - and they're fine for that. Nutrients are important, too, but paying attention to what you want to eat is better for that than most anything else - something could go wrong, but it probably won't, especially if you're either eating a lot of different things or mostly eating potatoes and milk. Speaking of which - she dries her hands off and pours a glass of it for her. Milk and cookies go well together, most people like to dip the cookies in the milk and eat them that way.

Oh. Rhoda nods at the explanation, and takes the glass of milk. She tries doing as Pradnakt suggests, but doesn't like the way the texture ends up reminding her of the nutrient paste. She sticks to eating them and drinking the milk separately.

And Pradnakt finishes up the dishes and joins her at the table with a sandwich.

Is there anything in particular you'd like to do tomorrow?
