Pen wakes up at about four in the afternoon. It takes her a few seconds to remember why she's here, but then she remembers and starts looking for Cindy.

"And what's a Gathering?"

[campanas]

"All Edori that be, be one place. And whoever else wants."

[manofmyword]

"Sounds like it could be fun."

[campanas]

"And singing and food and stuff!"

[manofmyword]

"Ooh."

[campanas]

"Yeah. And Daddy see all tribe friends."

[manofmyword]

"I bet he has fun."

[campanas]

"Yeah. He pick me up and carry me and remind me all names and is fun." Now she's sad again. "I miss it probably."

[manofmyword]

"Aww."

What a perfect time for the cookies to be ready!

[campanas]

Pen picks up and eats a hot cookie. It is cheering.

[manofmyword]

Good.

[campanas]

Cookies cookies cookies. She picks them right up off the pan; it doesn't burn her.

[manofmyword]

He's noticed that things don't tend to hurt her. But she did mention she was safe.

[campanas]

Pen stops at four cookies.

"Now what?"

[manofmyword]

"Mm... I think I'll go to sleep," he says.

[campanas]

Pen considers this idea.

Pen yawns and goes to change into her nightgown.

[manofmyword]

It's pajamas today for Cindy. He flops onto a couch again. The couch is kind of small for him, but he seems comfy there.

[campanas]

Pen flops onto the bed, wingtips in opposite corners, hugging a pillow, and sleeps.

[manofmyword]

The next morning, Cindy wakes up before she does. He makes breakfast.

[campanas]

Pen wakes up to kitchen noises. "What is breakfast?" she asks, almost philosophically, stretching as she opens her eyes.

[manofmyword]

"French toast!" he says cheerfully.

[campanas]

"What is?" She heads into the kitchen to get a look at it.

[manofmyword]

He hands her a plate with a French toast on it.

[campanas]

Pen eats some.

"Is interesting," she says. She eats some more. "Crispy soft."

[manofmyword]

"I like it," he says. He finishes the last toast, serves it to himself, and brings the plate with the rest of the toasts piled on it to the counter. There is also most of the same stuff out that there was with the waffles.
