Tinka know you must be just as nice and kind as Missus is."
Oh gosh...Tinka was crying. Kurumi always felt really REALLY awkward whenever one of the house elves began to cry over something she did or said. At least this time they weren't doing so because they were punishing themselves for something. Kurumi could still remember the first time she insisted on baking herself. It had been awful.
"
Well, I could use a large mixing bowl," Kurumi said with a small wink.

"
Vivi," Kurumi repeated with a nod. Although it came out sounding more like Bibi since the seventh year still struggled with V sounds. Kurumi watched for a moment as Vivi interacted with Tinka. Wait, wasn't this the Ravenclaw's first term at Hogwarts? So how did she...
Kurumi realized just how little she knew about the girl, despite Selina talking about her often in the common room. Time to fix that, yes? Especially since it seemed like the two of them shared an interest in baking.
...even if Kurumi wasn't entirely sure what a pasty was.
"
Oh! I've only ever had them in the Great Hall," Kurumi nodded once the pieces fell into place. "
I've never made them though. I haven't actually ventured out of sweets territory when it comes to baking to be honest..." Her mother had never taught her proper cooking...just cookies, pies, and cupcakes as it were. And breads. "
Are they...difficult?"
