[ she wonders if she can contribute to those earnings in some way. elena has to stay put for now, but if it helps secure lizzie and josie their own room, she'd want to.

maybe something to ask lilith once she finally hunts her down. ]

In the meantime, I'm in room 225 now. Feel free to come to me whenever you need to, okay?

[polydeukes]

Oh hey, that's not that far. You can benefit from the next time an event decides to have me cooking an excessive level of cookies.

[Because really, self, that was so many.]

[buried]

[ a small smile, then, not that josie can see it. ]

I won't turn down cookies. I'd offer to help next time, but it's maybe better if I don't.

[ does josie know already just how terrible her aunt is at cooking? can elena maybe hope a miracle occurred in the future and she's somehow better at it? ]

[polydeukes]

[Sorry, Aunt Elena, Christina Tosi you are not.]

Hey. Taste testing is very helpful and 100% necessary. Otherwise, how will I know the proper balance of cookie and chocolate chips?

[ drat. ]

My friend, Neal, is an amazing cook and he'd talk about balance, too. I think you're on to something, and it's not just making me feel better about my hopelessness in the kitchen. [ though she appreciates the silver lining. ]

[polydeukes]

It's kind of like chemistry and math, weirdly enough, which are not always my favorite subjects, but this at least is a tasty kind.

They're definitely not for everyone.

[ as someone who aspires to be a doctor one day, she's grown fonder of them - though she'll always have a soft spot for english. she'd like to know what subjects are josie's favorite, though. in some ways, she's still learning these girls. ] But all this talk about food has made me hungry. You want to maybe grab dinner together?

[polydeukes]

[There's a lot she wants to know about Elena too. The Elena of her childhood is a doctor, a healer, but this Elena's had different things to bring her to where she is now.

It's different enough that it warrants getting to know her.]

Yeah, sure! I'm starving.

[buried]

I'll be over soon!

[ elena just needs to get her affairs in order, and then she heads on over. ]
