Shadi sat with a bounce before her plate.
"Well, we're both coming, anyway," she said, her fork poised. "I'm sorry if they're awful. I tried, really."

*Rochester shook his head with a grin. Of course they'd be wonderful. She'd made them. He heaped several onto both plates and syruped each with a frivolous flourish. He took a bite and paused. All right, so it wasn't exactly what he'd been expecting. But they were certainly edible, which was far more than he would have managed on his own.*
"Good show." *He managed around pancake as he chewed and swallowed.*

Shadi watched him carefully.
"They're a failure!" she cried. "You're just being nice!"

"Am not!" *Rochester rebuked indignantly, glancing at her plate.* "Try them. You'll see."

There really wasn't anything Shadi wouldn't eat, so with a pout that was entirely for Rochester's benefit, she took a bite.
And they weren't bad.
Burnt, yes, and needing something--she'd figure it out in a moment--but... they tasted rather like... pancakes.
"Hmm."

"See?" *Rochester poked.*
"Thinking that I was just trying to protect your feelings..."
*He clucked his tongue and shook his head disapprovingly. Then he took another bite. It was better, knowing what to expect.*

Reassured, hunger took over, and Shadi made excellent progress through her mound of misshapen flapjacks.
"It's funny," she said. "Neither of us learned to cook, but it's because I never had any food, and you had too much."

*Rochester chuckled. She had a point after all.*
"But we still managed. Isn't that the funniest part?" *He quirked a brow.*

"Sort of," she said dubiously. "I'd hate to see us left on our own for more than a few hours."

*Rochester promptly stuck his mostly-clean tongue out at her.*
"Your confidence is overwhelming." *He muttered.*

Shadi giggled.
"At least we're good at those few hours," she pointed out.

"Uh huh." *Rochester answered suspiciously. She was poking fun at him. His eyes narrowed.*
"And then?"

Shadi cocked her head, all innocence.
"And then... we'll have more sex!" she announced.

*His hand fluttered to his chest as Rochester sighed.*
"Well that's a relief. At least something I'm good at."
*His dimple poked deep into his cheek.*

"I don't want to tax you too much, old man," she teased, polishing off her last pancake.
