(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

[ I would like to call this... development.

Terry is so happy he can finally seriously teach her how to cook. Even if it's just helping out in the kitchen, it's a good step to take. ]

I'm glad that you're excited, Rei. But the others are still sleeping, so let's be excited, but a little quieter, okay? Can you get the baking tray out from under the oven? It should be like a circle shape.

[flowerclips]

Oh, sorry...!

[ She says this in a hushed tone. She was very excited to help and start to learn. She was only slightly interested in cooking at the very beginning because then she could eat a bunch of dishes without having to go out, but since Terry and Kido spoil her and cook those dishes anyway, she never thought about learning. Then Toki came along and now she's determined to cook 3929120 meals to make him happy. ]

Umm, what's the difference between cooking and baking?

[ She'll grab the baking tray but she just realized that she has no idea what the difference is. Is there a cooking tray as well??? ]

[overstrain]

[ Hm. Terry tries to think of how to word that as he takes the baking tray from Rei. ]

Cooking is like... a general term when you prepare food with heat. Baking is a type of cooking that uses the oven.

[flowerclips]

Ohhh, so we're baking a quiche and not cooking it?

[ Seems simple enough to understand. ]

[overstrain]

Kinda! Hm...

[ While Terry gets ready, he tries to think of a way to describe it to Rei. ]

It's a little like how "fruits" are a category, and an "apple" is from that category. So the "cooking" would be "fruits" and "baking" would be the "apple".

[flowerclips]

[ Terry truly knows his little sister. Using food examples are the best. ]

Oh, I see! Then what's orange, grapes, or pears?

[ ... food examples are also the worst because it gets her distracted. ]

[overstrain]

Roasting, frying, and boiling.

[ He smiles and decides to roll with it so that Rei can learn that there are different kinds of cooking too. He puts the things into the oven and sets the heat. ]

Alright, let's go wait on the couch.

[flowerclips]

Mmhm!

[ And she bounces off to the couch. Maybe she can take a quick nap while breakfast is baking. She did wake up early, after all. ]

How long do we have to wait?

[overstrain]

Hm... Probably forty minutes? I set a timer and I can wake up for it. I'm a light sleeper.

[ They're on the couch that makes everyone useless. Terry isn't one to take naps, but he sure wants a nap now. He yawns while covering his mouth. ]

I'm gonna take a quick nap...

[flowerclips]

[ Yawns are very contagious because Rei mimics Terry. She then rubs one of her eyes. ]

Me too... let's nap and then eat breakfast.

[ She'll begin to lie down on the couch that makes everyone useless. She isn't a light sleeper so Terry will have to shake her awake once breakfast is ready. ]

[overstrain]

[ Terry cuddles with Rei because cuddles are the best. It's cuddle season!!

Sleep well, Rei... Terry will absolutely wake her up when it's time for breakfast. ]
