Baking Workshop 5/22, FH Home Ec Classroom, Monday Morning

[absolutesnark]

Piper smiles at the students as they show up at the home ec classroom after handwave hearing some sort of announcement letting them know to meet here.

"I'm Piper in case some of you might not know," she says somewhat cheerfully, handing each student a syllabus.

She points out the plate of brownies on the counter in front of her. "I made these for you because that is what we will be baking today. Try one if you'd like. I'm told I make the best brownies ever." She smiles proudly. "We will not be making the kind I brought in, though. They have a secret ingredient and, if I told you what it is, I'd have to vanquish you and no one wants that."

Piper grins to let them know she isn't serious about the vanquishing. She hands each student a list of ingredients and instructions. "I'm not going to lecture you because this workshop is supposed to be fun. So we're gonna get started right away. These instructions are, hopefully, easy to follow. If any of you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask."

Willow gave a wave. "Hi. I'm Willow."

"Hey" Ainsley waved back, shyly. Context. Maybe all I needed to find was context.

"I'm Ainsley."

"Nice to meet you. I'm - um. Still Willow. You'd think I'd get better at introductions after all the people I've met this week," she said.

Ainsley pushed the hair out of her face.

"I know what you mean. There's just so many people!"

Ainsley gestured with the measuring spoons, forgetting that one of them was full of cocoa. Oops.

Willow ducked. "I suppose it's overwhelming being a new student because that means you need to meet everybody. The old students just have to meet us. Assuming you're an us. I'm new. Which there's no shame in."

"Totally no shame!" Ainsley was warming to the subject. And wiping up cocoa. And knocking over an egg. Or two. Thankfully, both hers and not Willow's.

"I haven't met many of the old students yet." She looked distinctly nervous. Of course, that could just be the slimy egg yolk in the paper towel in her hand. "Are they nice? They don't have problems with really smart girls like they did in my old school, do they?"

"Super nice," Willow assured her. "I've even met somebody who loves libraries as much as I do!"

"Cool," Ainsley said. "How's the political science section?"

"Missed it for the magic, history, and genie section," Willow said.
