Muffins essentially are cake... just without frosting. Don't let anyone claim otherwise.

[L certainly doesn't. He has no shame about the sweetness of his diet, makes no excuses for the nutrient value or lack thereof that he ingests. He's just very devoted to the truth, for such a seasoned liar, and won't insult anyone present (or cake) by pretending something false is not.]

I've never made anything of the sort in my life. Bread takes patience... I'm sure I'd resign myself to that and then promptly forget all about it while it was rising. Are you like that too, or would you be impatient and try to bake it before it was ready?

I've heard that cooking is an art, but baking is a science. The measurements are to be very precise to work out as they're meant to... and some are highly variable. You know that flour can be packed loose or dense, I'm sure, and that's just the beginning of it.

[He shrugs.]

I like it when someone bakes for me, but the ingredients are better not wasted when either of us take a crack at it, sounds like.

[He finds it soothing too, no doubt. It's so normal, in the way that Sansa, for all that her world is strange to him, seems normal, or at least like she started out that way before life had its way with her.]

I suppose you'd like me to get started as soon as possible... on where my efforts would not be wasted.

You could manage just as well with learning magic... but like everyone, I start with the perspective of the world I came from. There, we only had science to contextualize what we had and lived through. Here, there's more to it; anyone can see that.

[He blinks at the offer, because... tatty and shabby as he is, and more so now after most of his clothes were ruined by nearly a body's worth of blood, clothes are something he absolutely needs.]

I could be paid in clothes, and not complain.

There's a lot I thought would be useless here that's turned out to be indispensable. Don't sell your knowledge and histories too short. If nothing else, they interest me.

[He nods, rising to leave. He's scrawny, so painfully thin; he knows that things generally will fit him, in the sense that they will fasten and not fall off, but it's always been a ball park. Baggy things, loose things that flap with more empty space than flesh and bone. The notion of clothes tailored, to measurements, is sort of a novelty.]

I'll do so at the earliest opportunity, and have more to tell you then.
