Ahaha. Gonna have to work on those defenses, then, aren't you?
[The smile on his face would be so innocent if he weren't joking about murder.
Immediately, he switches right back into instruction mode.]
Mix up the butter and the sugars 'til it's fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time and mix those in. Then we slowly add my mixture til it's all incorporated, and then chocolate chips. Then we just gotta ball 'em out and bake 'em off.
[Crow lets him look...blinking down into it as Rean gives his assessment.]
AH! I see where you're talkin'. My lovely assistant once again coming through for me...~
[He'll just spend a little more time mixing, then.]
Heh, it's funny. We could've just gotten those pull apart cookie dough packages and no one would've known the difference. But here we are, doin' things the hard way...
Alternatively, some things should never be considered at all.
[Look, Crow might have faith, but Rean does not. Either way, Rean picks up his bowl and adds about a third of the mixture into Crow's so he can stir them together.]

[If Rean ever wanted verbal confirmation that this friendship was build on solid foundation, there ya go.]
Got it.
[Butter and sugar are a go, giving it a steady rhythm to stir it as he talks.]
Sounds pretty foolproof to me.

For a brief moment, his expression morphs into surprise, but it's quick to melt right back into a smile.]
...Heh. Yeah, you got me there.
[Rean's just going to get back to work with his own mixture, although it doesn't take too much to get those mixed up.]
Yeah, it does. Still, I don't think either of us can afford to get cocky.
no subject
Heh, not if we want to prove we can master a thing most 14 year old girls have down pat.
[The eggs are added one by one, mixing each one in as he drops it. Soon enough, he's got what looks like a mixture starting to form.]
You got your stuff ready?
no subject
Exactly.
[Rean watches Crow work, peering into their half-formed batter.]
Yeah, I do. ...Mmm, you might want to work that a little more before we add mine in, though, I still see bits of egg that aren't incorporated fully...

[To that latter point, though, he laughs a little.]
We could have! But it's a matter of pride, isn't it? Sure, we could fool people, but we'd know it was a lie.
no subject
[He'll point that whisk right at him.]
Vanna wouldn't mouth off to me like you do.
[But his 'seriousness' drops the second after he says it, going back to stirring.]
You're right, though. Gotta take pride in doing something yourself at least once.
Then you can cheat.
no subject
[He's still smiling, though.]
Heh, maybe. Or we can just perfect our craft and move on to bigger and better things?
...I think we're probably good to start adding in the dry ingredients now.
no subject
[Not that he doesn't have faith that you could rock that, but...he'll keep such comments to himself.]
Bigger and better things...like brownies.
[But with Rean's confirmation, he'll hold out his bowl for Rean to add the dry contents to. Its much less of a mess putting dry into wet, after all.]

Maybe! But let's just get these down first.
